Description

This lively discussion explores the evolving landscape of narrative and storytelling in the age of AI. Kyle Shannon delves into the potential of large language models like ChatGPT, highlighting their ability not just to generate text and images, but to maintain context and continuity across different creative outputs. This capability, as demonstrated through examples like designing a house from blueprint to photorealistic image, suggests a shift from AI as a simple tool to a collaborative partner in the creative process. The conversation also touches on Anthropic's research into the "thinking" processes of AI, raising intriguing questions about the nature of artificial intelligence and its potential for true creative thought. Kyle marvels at the ability of these models to plan ahead, as evidenced by their approach to poetry generation, challenging the notion of AI as merely a "stochastic parrot." Building on these observations, Kyler introduces a compelling vision for the future of narrative: the "emotional architecture" within co-creative universes. This concept envisions authors creating frameworks or worlds where others can contribute and participate, generating diverse expressions within defined aesthetic and thematic boundaries. This model, exemplified by the AI Salon's shared mood board for image generation, proposes a new ecosystem for storytelling where authorship becomes decentralized and collaborative.

0:01 friend. Go down to that horn place

1:17 and then I got ready early and then I
1:20 got
1:21 bored. I got bored,
1:24 people. I got
1:26 ADD. I got the shivers.

2:28 Every time I see you
2:30 now, get that look in mine.
2:35 Every time I see your mouth,
2:38 I hear that
2:42 smile. In the early misty morning light,
2:46 I heard the engine
2:49 turning in the old for
2:54 [Music]
2:58 outside. You were leaving
3:02 me again today.
3:04 [Music]
3:06 You will convince
3:08 me again
3:12 today. You're leaving this hard time
3:15 looking for someone else's golden ring.

4:11 doing great. You sound
4:14 good. Melodious. You got melodious
4:18 tones. Mel maleiferous. Melodious. I
4:21 don't know. I don't know words. Some
4:24 people have a way with words. Other
4:26 people not have way. I guess you'd
4:34 say. All
4:37 right. Something's different. Can you
4:39 feel it? Did you
4:41 notice? Did you notice something has
4:44 [Music]
4:47 changed? There's more energy. People are
4:50 excited again.
4:53 [Music]
5:24 Let us be lovers. Well, marry our
5:27 fortunes
5:30 together. I've got some real estate here
5:33 in my bag.
5:36 So we bought a pack of
5:38 cigarettes and Mrs. Wagner's
5:41 pass and we've all come to look for
5:45 America.
5:47 [Music]
5:58 [Applause]
6:01 [Music]
6:06 [Applause]
6:07 [Music]
6:15 It's like I have precision with
6:17 fingerpicking minus the precision.
6:23 [Laughter]
6:30 Happy Friday night everybody. I hope
6:32 you're
6:32 [Music]
6:36 well. We're going to continue playing
6:38 with
6:39 uh Chat GBT. Tonight
6:46 [Music]
7:14 Oh, Champ, you're such a good singing
7:16 dog.
7:22 [Music]
7:32 [Music]
7:35 Woohoo! Woo!
7:38 [Music]
8:06 Um, what's happening? What's happening?
8:09 What's happening? What's happening?
8:10 What's happening?
8:15 I had a bunch of good meetings today. We
8:18 had a really nice AI office hours. Saw
8:20 some old friends. That was really nice.
8:22 It was small. It was a smaller group
8:24 today, which was kind of cool. It was It
8:26 was a small intense
8:29 group. Very well talked. It was a very
8:32 well It was a very very smart group of
8:34 people that showed up today. And then I
8:37 was there too.
8:41 [Music]
8:43 [Applause]
8:47 Um, but yeah, we were talking about
8:50 this.
8:51 Uh, something is shifting. I think we've
8:54 crossed a threshold. I think we've
8:56 crossed a
8:57 Rubicon. I don't know what a Rubicon is,
9:00 but I think we've crossed
9:01 it because I know you cross them in
9:04 movies. Thank you, Spin B3. I missed it
9:07 again. Oh, dang it. chemical
9:10 farmer. I always forget until like 2 PM.
9:13 Yeah, it's at 11:00 a.m. Mountain, so
9:16 it's a little early if you're on the
9:17 West Coast. Purple Rain. That was Purple
9:21 [Music]
9:26 Rain. Wait.
9:31 [Music]
9:46 Only want one time to see you
9:51 laughing. Only want to see you laughing
9:54 in that purple rain. Purple rain. Purple
10:01 rain. Purple rain. Purple
10:07 rain. Purple rain. Purple
10:12 [Music]
10:15 rain. I only want to see you laughing in
10:20 that purple.
10:24 Yeah. And then from that point forward,
10:26 Martin Ston like sings really good.
10:30 That's where I stop.
10:36 You got to know your limitations,
10:37 people. Just go right up to the edge of
10:39 them and then sneak over occasionally
10:41 and just go, "Yeah, that's not
10:43 [Laughter]
10:47 me." Although, you know, with this AI
10:51 [ __ ] I think we should all be a bit
10:54 more bold in what we think we can do.
11:01 [Music]
11:13 Um, let's let's go look at some
11:15 stuff. Let's go look at some
11:19 stuff. What's going on? How is
11:21 everybody? I got no comments going on on
11:24 YouTube. What the hell's going on on
11:25 YouTube? No thumbs up, no likes, no
11:27 comments. the hell you people doing over
11:30 there? Probably just a bunch of people
11:32 on X going, "Who? Why is there an old
11:34 man on X? What's happening? What's
11:38 happening? I thought all the old men
11:40 were on TikTok. I don't understand it.
11:43 What's
11:44 happening?" Um, sounds good, but Champy
11:48 always helps. He He howls good. Yeah,
11:50 exactly. I mean, that's the thing. When
11:52 you have when you have a lead singer as
11:55 a
11:55 dog, you can fill in the gaps. Just let
11:59 him take the
12:04 lead. Uh, there are comments on YouTube.
12:09 Really? I ain't seeing
12:13 them,
12:14 huh? Oh, there they are. I had a I had a
12:19 screen redraw issue.
12:22 Well, let me see what we got
12:25 here. I watched the Bob Dylan tonight. I
12:28 prefer watching Kyle. Thank you. Well,
12:30 you know, it's so funny you say that,
12:32 Vicki. A lot of times people are like,
12:35 you know, do you like Timothy Shalomé?
12:38 And and people like, he's no Kyle
12:41 Shannon. Like, I hear that all the time.
12:44 They're like, yeah, it's not the AI
12:46 learning lab. I mean, sure, he took five
12:48 years of his life and transformed
12:50 himself into Dylan, but you know, is is
12:53 there a singing dog? I don't think so.
12:56 Yeah, I hear it all the time. Shalom or
12:59 Shannon? Which way you going? And I
13:01 listen, I can't help it if people lean
13:05 my direction. Right. It's just it's a
13:07 magnetism I've got. It's a natural
13:10 genetic gift that I have been sprinkled
13:13 on by the gods. So anyway, thank you for
13:16 the for the kind words.
13:21 Uh ah the chat servers must be working
13:26 overtime. Oh, it took several tries
13:28 until I got my message. Another thing
13:30 that could be happening, Sharon, um one
13:33 of the things that they have started to
13:34 do is they have started to censor the
13:37 images.
13:39 What's fascinating is that they censor
13:41 them about threequarters of the way
13:43 through building an image and then they
13:45 realize, oh, this isn't going good.
13:46 Let's just delete it. So, that's a
13:48 possibility,
13:54 too. I'm not the biggest Adam Lavine
13:56 fan. If you hear his purple rain live
13:58 from the Stern party. Oh, cool. Nice.
14:01 We're here. Okay, good. Everybody's
14:03 here. I couldn't see anyone. Chef's
14:05 kiss. Very nice.
14:06 Um, I did not enjoy the music. I agree.
14:09 AI learning lab much better matter.
14:10 Shannon all the
14:12 way. You guys are [ __ ] weird. We're
14:14 not weird. We're irregular. I thought we
14:18 established that
14:19 yesterday. Good
14:24 lord.
14:25 Okay, let's get going. Um, yes, that
14:29 happened to me today. My chat art. I was
14:32 very disappointed. Yeah. Where where it
14:33 deleted it after it generated it. Yeah,
14:36 they're they're doing that
14:37 now. They have an algorithm in there
14:40 that says, "Did this make an image that
14:43 we might get sued by a big company for?"
14:46 And if the answer is yes, they delete
14:47 it. It
14:52 sucks. AI Learning Lab is the favorite
14:55 hangout in Shellington. If you weren't
14:57 here last night, we invented a
14:59 city. We've got the the Irregular Turtle
15:02 Society. If you're not part of
15:05 that, you weren't here last night. And I
15:08 got no sympathy for you. Here's the
15:11 deal. You people, you people, you you're
15:13 like, "Yeah, I want to learn AI." And
15:16 and then you're like, "Well, I'll come a
15:18 night a week or once or twice a
15:21 month." You miss
15:24 out. And I mean, listen, I think there's
15:27 a legitimate argument to be said
15:30 that a solid 90% of the hours of of
15:35 entertainment that I procure here are
15:38 useless, wasted time, you'll never get
15:40 back in your life. But it's that 10%,
15:43 it's the [ __ ] magic. It
15:47 happens. It's like a baseball game.
15:50 Occasionally, something happens, you
15:53 know, then you drink beer in between.
15:59 Oh
16:01 man. Um, Chef Kelly, I was embarrassed
16:04 after my botched virtual webinar today
16:07 and then I remembered you do this every
16:09 day. Yeah. Listen, botched. I assume it
16:13 was not massively botched. Maybe it
16:15 didn't quite go as planned. But this is,
16:18 think of this as inspiration for Well,
16:21 it couldn't be that bad.
16:25 Now
16:26 listen, to be fair, you don't have a $20
16:30 million production studio like I do,
16:33 right? Like it's not going to look this
16:35 good, right? But just, you
16:39 know, and sure, this is fully scripted,
16:43 right? I spend most of my days learning
16:45 the lines for the performance of the
16:47 night. This show is very much like the
16:50 uh that Netflix series
16:51 Adolescence, right? where I memorized
16:54 the script. It's a single camera
16:56 take, you know, dramatic action happens.
17:00 We produce this in such a way that it
17:03 looks
17:04 like I'm just
17:10 insane.
17:15 [Music]
17:17 See? All right, let's go look at some
17:19 [ __ ] source camp in
17:27 house. Did I not share? What's going on
17:30 here? Okay, there is just weird ass
17:34 stuff going on with my
17:36 StreamYard.
17:38 Um, okay. So, here I am. I'm at I'm at
17:41 the chat GPT. I don't know if you all
17:43 know chat GPT. If you go to
17:46 chatgpt.com or even just chat.com,
17:49 uh you might have heard you can make
17:51 money with chat. This is the place you
17:54 go. You just go there and and when you
17:57 type in a prompt, you can make money
18:00 from
18:01 that. And you're like, "Well, how do I
18:03 make money from that?" Well, you pay me
18:05 the
18:07 $49.95 a week for the secret lesson.
18:13 That's how you make money from it. Well,
18:15 no. That's how I make money from it. It
18:18 And then but then what you do is you
18:22 take what I did and then you do
18:25 that. But it's not easy. Like you have
18:28 to be able to go you can make money with
18:30 chat. You you can't just say you can
18:33 make money on chat
18:35 GBT. It's like it doesn't it just
18:38 doesn't work unless you're like
18:42 at right. And that's what I'll teach
18:45 you. I'll teach you the secrets to
18:47 artificial intelligence are making a Tik
18:49 Tok channel to sell methylene blue and
18:53 and Madagascar vanilla beans and
18:55 cardboard cutters. That's how you make
18:58 money with chat GPT. The Tik Tok
19:01 shop. You see it? Like is it all
19:03 starting to come together? Because it
19:05 should it should be really
19:08 clear. No.
19:13 I I I I don't know what to say. Like if
19:15 you're thick in the
19:17 head, it's that's not on me. You're
19:20 like, "But Kyle, you told us we didn't
19:22 have to be technical." You don't have to
19:24 be technical, but you have to learn how
19:25 to say words. Words like
19:30 cha, you
19:32 see? Anyway, um, chat
19:40 GPT. Oh, good
19:43 lord. All the regulars are like, "All
19:45 right, I got 15 minutes here. I got to
19:47 run to the
19:48 [Laughter]
19:53 bathroom." Ah, yes. Words. I I am saying
19:57 words, Tom. I words. Words, words,
20:01 words, words,
20:05 words. Um, I did start watching Sing
20:09 Sing tonight, the the uh the movie about
20:12 the uh the prison theater troop. It's
20:15 pretty good. It's pretty good. I'm like
20:16 halfway through it.
20:18 Um, I wanted to like one of the things I
20:21 wanted to explore
20:24 tonight
20:26 is you know how when you're using chat
20:29 GPT one of the secrets of it is is how
20:32 you say it and the other secret
20:36 is it's not so much that you get good at
20:39 prompting but it's more like you get
20:41 good at conversation with chat GPT right
20:44 you start to understand its personality
20:46 and you start to understand how you and
20:48 give it
20:49 feedback and if you do the conversations
20:51 right you can
20:53 maintain a thread of understanding
20:56 through a long conversation right and
20:59 that's like I feel like when you get
21:01 good with chat GPT it's kind of like
21:03 this ongoing conversation that you just
21:05 keep improving it and improving it
21:07 improving it and where it gets
21:08 frustrating is you improve it improve it
21:10 and then it falls apart
21:12 right and so now that image generation
21:16 is native within in the platform. I was
21:19 like, can you maintain that same kind of
21:23 um context and continuity across images?
21:27 And so, so I just put this prompt up. I
21:31 said, "Make me a blueprint of a radical
21:33 design for a new kind of house." And I
21:36 was expecting it to draw a picture.
21:39 And and what it did, which I thought was
21:43 kind of interesting, is it described the
21:46 house. So what did it say? A living,
21:50 learning, breathing structure that
21:51 adapts the spiral nest that adapts to
21:54 its occupants and environment. It's part
21:57 bioarchchitecture, part digital habitat,
22:00 part sensory cocoon. A house that feels
22:04 you thinking and responds in kind. Um
22:07 and then they describe the different
22:09 areas. Its shape is a spiral shell
22:12 inspired by the Fibonacci sequence. The
22:15 level one is called the root zone. Level
22:17 two is called the mind deck. Level three
22:20 is called the green loop. Level four is
22:22 the dream
22:23 nest bonus the morph room. So that was
22:27 kind of cool. And then I said, well, you
22:31 know, make me a blueprint of the floor
22:33 plan. But I said floor plan, but
22:35 whatever. And then it wrote
22:39 code and it wrote like a Fibonacci
22:42 spiral and then it and then it did like
22:45 Python drawing which is not at all what
22:48 I wanted but it's kind of
22:52 interesting and it it's kind of an
22:55 interesting floor. It's like it's
22:57 interesting that it that it it thought
23:00 about the math of the house, right? So
23:04 then I said, "No, no, make me a like a
23:06 blueprint as if an architect drew
23:09 it." And it did it. And it essentially
23:15 maintained the same thing, right? It's
23:17 got the
23:19 spirals. It's got a It's got an area
23:21 called the digestion zone. I don't know
23:24 if that's a bathroom or if that's if if
23:28 you just walk in circles here after you
23:32 eat. And then I said, "Now, let me see a
23:34 watercolor visualization of it." And it
23:38 did
23:39 that. It's pretty [ __ ] good. Like
23:42 it's in the neighborhood of what an
23:44 architect would
23:46 do. It's got a floating bridge and the
23:49 entrance and the entry garden. Now, it's
23:52 not complete. Like, this was all very
23:54 fast and it's got plants inside the
23:57 house and there there's no actual
23:59 kitchen where you can cook [ __ ] There's
24:01 just a table, but still pretty cool.
24:04 Then I said,
24:07 um, now make it a photograph as if it
24:10 were taken for Architectural
24:12 Digest. And then there's there's the
24:15 thing. And it maintains the foot bridge.
24:18 It maintains the pond. It maintains the
24:20 table, the central spiral staircase, the
24:23 spiral shape of the
24:27 house. And then one of the things I
24:29 heard is you can ask it to give you the
24:32 prompt of an image. And so I said, "Hey,
24:34 can you give me the prompt of the
24:36 image?" And what it wrote was, "This
24:38 this stunning highresolution photo
24:41 captures a con contemporary
24:43 spiral-shaped home with curved glass
24:46 walls set against a vibrant green
24:48 landscape. Sleek concrete roof spirals
24:51 upward, and the floating bridge leads to
24:53 the entrance." But it like didn't feel
24:55 like it had enough detail to
24:58 generate all that. And so then I asked
25:02 it. I said,
25:05 um, it seems like there would be more to
25:07 the prompt than that. Did it incorporate
25:10 incorporate the previous watercolor
25:13 image to get the shape of the house? And
25:15 it said, "Great question. You're totally
25:18 on
25:18 point." The photo style image did draw
25:21 on the previous watercolor image
25:24 indirectly by carrying forward the
25:27 visual memory of the design. Now, here's
25:30 what I don't know. This is chat GPT. So
25:33 it's possible that it absolutely
25:35 hallucinated this. But if it's true,
25:38 what this is saying is it's it
25:43 understands this code. It understands
25:46 this drawing. It understands this
25:48 drawing. It took that drawing to make
25:51 that image. It took that image to make
25:53 that
25:54 image. And then it said, "Do you want to
25:56 see the interior?" And I'm like, "Sure,
25:58 show me the interior." here. And there's
25:59 like there's the interior, I guess, out
26:01 the back of the
26:02 house. I mean, that's pretty [ __ ]
26:05 cool,
26:07 right? It's a tur It has a turtle ramp.
26:09 It totally has a turtle
26:16 ramp. But, you know, I thought that was
26:20 pretty [ __ ] swell.
26:25 I saw Kelly Camp did a uh a magazine
26:28 piece today here. Let me see if I can go
26:30 find
26:33 [Music]
26:39 it. So
26:43 good. There's Kelly's little
26:49 magazine. The new MVP, The Quiet
26:52 Revolution.
26:53 Beyond the buzzwords or buzz whirls as
26:56 chat GBT made it. AI isn't coming. It's
27:00 here. That's good. The human interface
27:02 to AI architect. That
27:05 cool. So if you don't know how she made
27:08 that, you can just go to chat GPT right
27:11 now.
27:13 Uh you can do three of these on the free
27:15 plan. I don't know if they've rolled it
27:17 out to the free plan yet, but for 20
27:19 bucks a month, you can upload a picture
27:21 of yourself and just tell it to put you
27:23 on the cover of a magazine and then
27:25 describe the magazine and let it write
27:27 the headlines or give it the
27:32 headlines and it does everything. It
27:34 does the
27:41 typography. So, that's pretty [ __ ]
27:43 swell. So, we'll we'll come back to chat
27:46 GBT because I I want to keep I want to
27:49 keep digging
27:51 into what's now
27:54 possible. I also want to see if we can
27:58 discover more about the upgrade of 4.0
28:00 and why it's good and how it's good and
28:02 what's different about it. Um, if anyone
28:05 has any thoughts, feel free to put them
28:06 in the comments.
28:09 Careful with thought. You'll invoke the
28:11 wrath of
28:16 Pate. I'm waiting for the day when it
28:19 says, "Great point, but you're totally
28:20 wrong, human." I, you know, I'm actually
28:23 waiting for that day,
28:25 too,
28:29 because I appreciate the fact that they
28:31 made Chat GPT a helpful
28:34 assistant, but sometimes it would be
28:36 nice to have it be a helpful critic,
28:39 right? It'd be nice if it could be
28:41 intelligent enough to navigate those two
28:44 roles. What's this
28:46 say? It carries things forward. Just try
28:50 creating a normal person and then
28:51 creating a Gibbli person. That's true.
28:53 Yeah, it's doing character consistency
28:55 that way. Um what I wanted to um watch
29:00 together. I only watched a little bit of
29:02 this. I'm going to I'm going to switch
29:04 my my tabs for a second here.
29:08 Um, Anthropic put out a big paper today,
29:13 um, and a blog post about how large
29:16 language models work, how they
29:19 think. Um, and I saw a couple of people
29:22 mention it as being a really profound
29:24 piece with a lot of jaw jaw-dropping
29:26 moments. Um, and I haven't I haven't
29:29 read it, so like I just saw it late in
29:31 the afternoon, but it's got this video
29:34 with it that that explains some of how
29:37 large language models work and how they
29:39 think. Um, and I thought it'd be fun for
29:41 us to watch it together. So, we'll do a
29:43 little movie night tonight. So, get your
29:46 popcorn. Go make your Jiffy Pop. Well,
29:50 Jiffy Pop, boy, that's that's old and
29:53 timey. What What What is the popcorn? Is
29:56 it all Is it Newman's own or is that
29:58 still old? What's the What's the popcorn
30:00 you're making in the microwave these
30:02 days? Or did we give up on microwave
30:05 popcorn and we're back to the stove? Are
30:07 we all bespoke
30:09 artisal
30:11 Oregon-based
30:13 handpicked every kernel massaged before
30:16 it's placed in the bag? It Where are
30:18 Where are we with popcorn? Or do you
30:20 just buy the bags of [ __ ] now? Done.
30:24 pre-done. Orville Red and Bucker. Okay.
30:32 Waffles. Waffles. Waffles are good, too.
30:35 I say we go waffles or
30:37 [Laughter]
30:42 popcorn. Oh, man. All right. Let me
30:45 change my let me change my tab
30:49 sharing and then we will watch a we'll
30:52 do a little movie
30:55 [Music]
31:08 watching. You often hear that AI is like
31:11 a black box. Words go in and words come
31:15 out, but we don't know why it's said
31:17 what it said. That's because AIs aren't
31:20 programmed, but trained. And during
31:23 training, they learn their own
31:24 strategies to solve problems. If we want
31:27 AIs to be as useful, reliable, and
31:30 secure as possible, we want to open up
31:33 the black box and understand why they do
31:35 things. But even opening the black box
31:39 isn't very helpful because we don't know
31:41 how to interpret what we see. Think of
31:44 it like a neuroscientist investigating
31:46 the brain. We need tools to work out
31:48 what's going on inside. We want to know
31:51 how the model connects all the concepts
31:53 in its mind and uses them to answer our
31:56 questions. Now, we've developed ways to
31:59 observe some of an AI model's internal
32:02 thought processes. We can actually see
32:04 how these concepts are connected to form
32:06 logical
32:07 circuits. Let's take a simple example
32:10 where we ask Claude to write the second
32:12 line of a poem. The poem starts, he saw
32:16 a carrot and had to grab it. In our
32:19 study, we found that Claude is planning
32:21 a rhyme even before writing the
32:23 beginning of the line. Claude sees a
32:26 carrot and grab it and thinks of rabbit
32:30 as a word that would make sense with
32:32 carrot and rhyme with rabbit. Then it
32:34 writes the rest of the line. His hunger
32:37 was like a starving rabbit. That's kind
32:39 of fascinating. I mean, it's like the in
32:43 in that first line, the valuable things
32:46 are carrot and grab it. He saw and had
32:50 to are not as important. So, I picked
32:52 the more important stuff. Kind of
32:55 cool. It's also when you write poems,
32:58 this actually makes sense. Now, it's
33:00 very hard to get it to write an
33:03 abab rhyming couplet. It always goes a
33:07 bb. So, it does them two lines at a
33:10 time. Be interesting to experiment and
33:11 see if you could prompt it out of
33:14 behaving like this.
33:16 We look at the place that the model was
33:20 thinking about the word rabbit and we
33:21 see other ideas it had for places to
33:25 take the poem. We also see the word
33:28 habit is present there. Our new methods
33:31 allow us to go in and intervene on this
33:33 circuit. In this case, we dampen down
33:36 rabbit as the model is planning the
33:38 second line of the poem and then ask
33:40 Claude to complete the line again. His
33:42 hunger was a powerful habit. We see that
33:45 the model is capable of taking the
33:47 beginning of a new poem and thinking of
33:49 different ways it could complete it and
33:51 then writing it towards those
33:53 completions. The fact we can cause these
33:56 changes to occur well before the final
33:58 line is written is strong evidence that
34:00 the model is planning ahead of time.
34:02 This poetry planning result along with
34:05 the many other examples in our paper
34:07 only makes sense in a world where the
34:09 models are really thinking in their own
34:11 way about what they say.
34:14 Just as neuroscience helps us treat
34:16 diseases and make people healthier, our
34:18 longerterm plan is to use this deeper
34:21 understanding of AI to help make the
34:23 model safer and more reliable. If we can
34:26 learn to read the model's mind, we can
34:28 be much more confident it is doing what
34:30 we intended. You can find many more
34:32 examples of Claude's internal thoughts
34:34 in our new paper at
34:36 anthropic.com/ressearch.
34:41 Um, yeah, that's fascinating. I mean,
34:44 this kind of blows the doors off
34:47 of, you know, it's just predicting the
34:50 next token. It's just a stochastic
34:53 parrot, right? You know, if it's
34:55 thinking ahead and like I don't know how
34:58 long it's thinking ahead, but that's
35:01 pretty interesting. And and don't forget
35:05 anthropic, their core imperative. So,
35:09 OpenAI's core imperative is to create
35:11 AGI, AGI, artificial general
35:14 intelligence, right? They want to make
35:15 it accessible to the world. Enthropic
35:18 was a spin-off of Open AI from some of
35:22 the main scientists from Open AI that
35:24 said, "We don't like the way you're
35:25 thinking about safety of these models.
35:27 We want to create an enthropic where our
35:29 prime imperative is safety, AI safety,
35:33 and and AI alignment." Um, and so that's
35:36 that's why this research makes really
35:40 good sense that they're doing it. Um,
35:42 but I find it fascinating that basically
35:45 what they're discovering is these things
35:47 actually think. Now, I don't think you
35:51 can go as far as, you know, they're
35:53 conscious, but, you know, this is this
35:56 is a different thing. And I'm sure if
35:58 Pate's in here, he's probably screaming
35:59 at the top of his lungs right
36:01 now. Um, let's see. Where's the paper
36:04 here?
36:06 [Music]
36:07 Um, probably at the bottom. Is there any
36:10 Yeah, there's lots of charts and graphs
36:12 that I I that won't make good won't make
36:15 good for tick
36:16 tocking. Um, but the the blog post is
36:21 pretty comprehensive and then I I assume
36:23 the paper's really good. Let's see.
36:31 revealing the computational graphs in
36:34 language
36:36 models. Many more details of the above
36:38 use cases in our second paper on the
36:41 biology of large language model. Wow,
36:46 that's a pretty bold that's pretty bold
36:49 statement.
36:50 We investigate the internal mechanism
36:53 used by claude 3.5 haiku enthropics
36:56 lightweight production model in various
36:59 contexts using our circuit tracing
37:02 technology. That's
37:06 amazing, huh? So anyway, go check that
37:09 out. It's at uh it's at uh
37:14 anthropic.comressearch. I would imagine
37:15 you can probably just get there by that.
37:18 Anthropic.comressearch. Hang on.
37:23 Yeah. Uh maybe not. Uh let's see. Our
37:33 mission research principles tracing the
37:36 thoughts. So here it is. So it's you
37:38 scroll down. Go to
37:41 enthropic.comressearch and scroll down
37:42 till you see the rustcoled box. Tracing
37:46 the thoughts of a large language model.
37:47 That'll take you back to that where I
37:49 just
37:51 was. Crazy. It's crazy, I tell you.
37:55 Crazy. Crazy. Crazy. All right. Um,
37:59 let's see. Did I do anything
38:05 in in chat GBT today? That was
38:08 interesting. Oh, that was an interesting
38:11 one.
38:13 Yeah. Um, this was kind of fun. So, I
38:18 took a screen sh Oh, wait. I got to I
38:20 got to change my sharing. Hang
38:25 [Music]
38:32 on. So, today I was on a uh conference
38:37 call. Can you all see that? Hey, Andy,
38:41 what's happening? Um, today I was on a
38:44 conference call. I took a screenshot of
38:46 some of the crazy people there and then
38:50 uploaded those pictures and said, "Make
38:51 me a cartoon." And one of the cool
38:54 things that it did was it took the names
38:58 off the screenshots and turned it into
39:01 like the names of the people. So there's
39:03 Cindy [ __ ] there's Rick Lacroy, who's
39:05 not really that angry. There's me with a
39:08 guitar. It picked the guitar up out of
39:09 my background, which is interesting.
39:20 Um, then I tried to add someone to it
39:22 and it sort of screwed that up. And then
39:24 I did something and it sort of screwed
39:26 that
39:27 up. But then I I said, you
39:31 know, here's more people. Have the
39:33 people with their cameras on, make fun
39:35 of the people with their cameras off. So
39:37 that sort of did it well. I said, make
39:39 it like a Pixar thing. So, it kind of
39:42 did a funny little
39:44 cartoon. Let's do image gen projects.
39:47 Yeah, we're going to sitting here with
39:49 my computer machine making stuff. Yeah.
39:52 So, so yeah, let's go play with this.
39:54 So, so upload a picture of yourself or
39:57 your friends. Oh, then I said this was
39:59 kind of cool. I said take Eric who I put
40:03 here based on a screenshot here. Let's
40:06 see. Where's
40:07 Eric? Right here in the top. Let me see.
40:10 Can I zoom in on
40:12 that? There's Eric. So that's that's the
40:14 only picture it had of Eric,
40:18 right? And then from
40:24 that it
40:26 made this version of
40:29 Eric right
40:37 here. And then I said,
40:45 um, create a dramatic art photo of Eric
40:48 where the photographer used lighting and
40:51 a low millimeter lens and open aperture
40:53 to capture a personality that is
40:56 thoughtful and generous. Make it a 2x3
40:58 portrait. And so it made this
41:00 photograph. It sort of invented this
41:03 guy. And then I said, make it black and
41:06 white. And it did.
41:08 And then I said, "Make it grittier."
41:10 Made it really
41:13 gritty. So, it's pretty
41:16 crazy. Um, what else do we do
41:22 today? The studio Gibbly thing. Oh,
41:25 yeah. This was pretty cool. So, this was
41:29 I wanted to do I wanted to do take my my
41:33 stupid
41:35 uh profile photo and turn that into a
41:38 character. It made me too fat. So, I
41:39 said, "Make me skinnier because I'm
41:43 vain." And then I said, "Make me a
41:45 Macintosh computer, the original
41:48 Macintosh, and convert my portrait into
41:50 Mac Paint, the original version of Mac
41:53 Paint." And it did it quite well. So,
41:55 that's a good
41:57 one. Um, I did some I did a New Yorker
42:00 cartoon today. I had it write New Yorker
42:03 cartoons. It came up with 10 different
42:05 cartoon
42:06 concepts and then it created this this
42:09 one that is a bunch of goats sitting
42:12 around a boardroom and the the quote is,
42:15 "Let's circle back after we've eaten the
42:20 agenda." That's pretty good. That's
42:22 pretty good New Yorker humor. Come on.
42:24 [Laughter]
42:29 Oh man. Um, one thing that I did notice,
42:32 let's go to Sin City Sipper. I don't
42:35 think this has changed, but let's say
42:37 make me a margarita with unexpected
42:41 sass.
42:49 And now it's making an image, but it is
42:51 not
42:53 using the new image gen tool. So your um
42:57 custom GPTs have shitty old dolly in
43:02 them. You know, it's still pretty good.
43:05 Not for nothing,
43:08 but but it's not the new image model. So
43:11 that I
43:12 learned.
43:15 Um, last night we were playing
43:22 with turtle meme character ideas. Was
43:25 this
43:27 it?
43:28 Yeah. So, last night we created the the
43:33 Irregular Turtle
43:39 Society and we were taking pictures of
43:42 people and making versions of them. And
43:44 then people went to the AI salon,
43:47 started making their own pictures of
43:50 themselves. So, there's Silver Fox with
43:53 a chrome shell, which I love. I think
43:55 it's genius. S Fox, the founder of
43:59 Shellington, Silverf Fox,
44:01 congratulation. I didn't realize you
44:02 were the founder of the town. That's
44:07 funny. Oh, you got that same drink pick
44:10 about three months ago. Oh, that's
44:12 funny. Um, here's Sharon
44:15 Crawford. Very nice. So, everyone's
44:18 making their own little Oh, that's nice.
44:20 Who's that from? Steo. I can't make it
44:23 tonight lunch date with this one. Oh,
44:25 that's the one he uses to tap all the
44:27 hearts on the Tik Tok. Very
44:29 nice. Marlene
44:31 Paul, love it. Oh, that one's cool from
44:36 W. Very
44:39 formal. Ocean.
44:43 Nice. Corin Mueller. Do we all represent
44:47 ourselves with turtles?
44:50 Apparently, you are in Shellington, but
44:53 in Shellington. Now, Dr. Jay decided to
44:56 go with the the Blue Jay, and I think
44:58 Cindy [ __ ] would obviously go with the
45:01 raccoon. Um, there's Vicki. Vicki went
45:04 ahead and made a collectible that you
45:07 can you can buy at Toys R Us.
45:15 Oh my
45:17 god,
45:18 there's
45:23 Greg. Oh, good lord. Oh, this is a good
45:26 one from
45:27 Jackie. Still
45:29 working. Still work shopping my
45:31 Shellington peron persona, but I had a
45:33 bit of issue in the
45:35 [Laughter]
45:38 lab. So anyway, so that's kind of fun.
45:44 Um, I think what might be kind of cool
45:47 tonight, we'll we'll come back to the
45:48 Shellington stuff, but I wanna I want to
45:51 try something new.
45:57 Um, let's turn on web search and let's
46:00 say
46:05 um research
46:11 um
46:14 papers and
46:17 books on
46:21 modern narrative theory.
46:25 and what
46:27 resonates with today's
46:33 um
46:37 audiences. So, I'm going to have it go
46:39 do some research. Now, you could do this
46:40 with some deep research, but one of the
46:43 groups that I'm working with were
46:44 playing around with deep research, and
46:46 Cindy [ __ ] kind of inspired this
46:49 today where Cindy went and did a bunch
46:51 of research and then she's she's digging
46:53 deeper and
46:54 and doing research from different points
46:58 of view and using personas and things
47:01 like that. And one of the things that we
47:03 talked about was
47:06 um could you take research and bring it
47:10 to life
47:12 uh using the image generation tool? We
47:14 might be able to do that. So there's
47:16 some books and things. So now I'm going
47:17 to say
47:21 um what
47:23 are the
47:30 main narrative ideas
47:34 across these
47:38 works. Searching the
47:42 web. Oh, she's here. Cindy [ __ ] is here.
47:46 So, I figured I'm going to try to do
47:47 some some crazy ass image generation
47:50 like like like bringing research to
47:52 life, but I I don't want to do deep
47:54 research. I'm just going to do like, you
47:56 know, sort of faker deep research. All
47:59 right. So, there's that. So, I'm going
48:00 to say um now look at these ideas from
48:07 four
48:08 [Music]
48:10 different points of view.
48:16 um
48:18 each from a different
48:21 decade. I'm just I'm just kind of
48:24 randomly trying to put enough context in
48:28 here that we've got something to work
48:30 with. So, I don't really care what the
48:31 answer is here. If you were doing actual
48:34 research, you
48:39 might would you like me to explore how
48:41 these perspectives might apply to a
48:44 particular format?
48:49 Um, I
48:51 want
48:53 strong POV pieces from each of
48:58 them about the
49:01 research you have
49:10 found. All
49:13 right.
49:22 Uh, now I
49:25 want
49:27 a new
49:32 novel
49:35 hypothesis
49:39 that
49:42 incorporates everything we've talked
49:54 about
49:56 that could
50:02 reolutionize
50:05 narrative in the future. All
50:09 right. Absolutely. Here's a novel
50:12 hypothesis. the narrative as emerging
50:14 emotional architecture and multi- aent
50:16 space. You know, Cindy, it's funny. I
50:19 think you and I the other day, we've
50:21 we've been talking about narrative as an
50:23 emerging emotional architectural in a
50:26 multi- aent space. We talk about that a
50:28 lot. Like it's a fairly obvious I don't
50:30 know how novel that is. Seems pretty
50:32 obvious to
50:33 me. Narrative as a collab collaborative
50:36 ecosystem, emotion as an organizing
50:38 principle. Okay, so it's got some points
50:40 example. All right. Whatever. So, we got
50:43 that there. So, now we're gonna go
50:46 um
50:49 uh now I want you to
50:56 um play
50:58 out the
51:02 transer mason to this
51:06 new narrative reality. and write a
51:12 report
51:14 on the
51:17 impact of the current
51:21 media
51:25 ecosystem. All right, that's kind of
51:28 cool. So, like let's pretend this was
51:30 actual all real real research, right?
51:33 This is the kind of thing where you
51:35 might go look at some [ __ ] then you
51:37 might look at it through some different
51:38 lenses, then you might come up with new
51:41 ideas. Then if you're a future caster
51:43 like Cindy
51:46 [ __ ] you might say, "Well, what's this
51:49 going to do to the
51:51 world?" So, let's see what did it
51:55 do. Executive summary. Between 2025 and
51:59 2032, the global media ecosystem
52:02 underwent a profound shift from static
52:05 author ccentric content to participatory
52:08 emotionally responsive narrative
52:10 systems. This transition sparked by
52:13 advancements in AI, biometric feedback
52:15 and immers and immersive environments
52:18 has catalyzed a new narrative paradigm
52:20 from content to
52:24 experience. New formats and fluid story
52:27 worlds. The death of the singular
52:31 author. The author is a conductor, not a
52:34 god.
52:36 The 2032 Emmywinning story story world
52:42 ashfall has over two million
52:44 acknowledged co-authors. This is kind of
52:46 cool. Okay,
52:49 great. Now, I want
52:52 [Music]
52:54 you to give
52:57 me three concepts for how we
53:02 might visualize
53:10 The new world of
53:16 narrative that
53:21 includes the
53:24 impact on
53:26 current
53:28 media into a
53:31 single infographic.
53:37 that will
53:38 make
53:40 it
53:43 instantly
53:46 understandable and bring the
53:49 research to
53:51 life.
53:53 Okay, so let's see. Okay, the story
53:57 wheel from broadcast to biometrics. I
54:00 don't like it as a wheel because I don't
54:01 think this is going to be linear.
54:03 A radial infographic showing the
54:05 evolution of narrative as a timeline,
54:07 but instead of progressing linearly, it
54:10 radiates outward from a central point.
54:13 Narrative 1.0 linear broadcast toward
54:16 the new emergent narrative 4.0. Okay,
54:19 that's not bad. So, it's not in a cycle.
54:22 It's radiating
54:24 out visual structure. The center is the
54:27 20th century linear
54:29 narrative. Maybe we do all of these.
54:32 We'll we'll we'll see which one we like.
54:35 The living narrative web, an artwork
54:37 visualization like a neural map that
54:39 shows how different media nodes are now
54:44 interconnected. And then the narrative
54:46 machine, how a story is made.
54:49 Now, this is kind of cool. All right.
54:56 Um why
54:59 don't Oops.
55:05 Why
55:07 don't
55:08 [Music]
55:10 you take a stab at number one?
55:25 [Music]
55:31 Is this making sense? Am I Am I
55:35 totally off my rocker? Is this making
55:41 sense? I'm here slow to find the chat.
55:51 day. So, one of the things Cindy was
55:54 saying today, which I thought was really
55:55 or no, it was actually M Turner, but
55:58 then Cindy commented on it. M. Turner
56:00 was talking about
56:04 um you do all this research and a lot of
56:08 times it doesn't have an impact because
56:11 people can't
56:13 instantly get it.
56:20 And like and like could this
56:23 new visualization tool be a way to take
56:27 research and and turn it into things
56:29 that people get
56:36 easier. Co-authorship spatial
56:40 worlds narrative 4.0 know linear
56:43 co-creation, co-authorship, spatial
56:46 worlds, dynamic cannon, AI agents,
56:49 emotional intelligence. So that I don't
56:50 quite get. So I'm going to say I think
56:54 it is flat and
56:58 boring and lacks clarity.
57:03 Wait. Flat and boring and boring and
57:08 lacks
57:12 clarity of
57:14 the
57:19 evolution. Make it have
57:22 a dark
57:25 background and a much
57:28 more
57:31 sophisticated color.
57:36 pallet and info
57:43 design. Don't be
57:48 lazy like me, you poopy head.
57:54 And again, it's always good to swear at
57:56 your large language
57:58 model and put them down and judge
58:02 [Laughter]
58:11 them. Oh, maybe convert it to a kids
58:14 book. Oh, that's pretty cool. Like that
58:19 idea. Nice thought process, chat.
58:24 Yeah. Well, that's
58:30 like like I kind of feel
58:36 like the the transition if if you think
58:39 about what Manis does where it goes off
58:42 and does these incredibly complicated
58:44 multi-step research things and then
58:46 writes a report and generates code and
58:49 does whatever it does and then comes
58:50 back and reports to you.
58:55 I feel like we at the center of these
59:00 workflows are going to increasingly have
59:03 to think about the chain of
59:05 events rather than just the here's a
59:09 prompt, here's an answer, and then
59:11 repeat, rinse and repeat that. Or we're
59:13 going to have to think like, oh, okay,
59:15 I'm going to go do research in these
59:17 three tools, then I'm going to take that
59:18 and I'm going to visualize stuff over
59:20 here. Then I'm going to take that and
59:22 I'm going to go over here and I'm going
59:23 to do
59:24 that. Actually, the the uh the idea that
59:28 this thing's putting out that the idea
59:30 of central authorship goes away
59:32 completely is actually kind of
59:36 fascinating. Emotional
59:38 co-creation. Yeah, th this is it's
59:41 really not good at this. So, we're say
59:44 um I'm going to go back up and one of
59:47 the things I noticed is it doesn't seem
59:48 to remember the [ __ ] it wrote once it
59:50 makes an
59:52 image. So, let's go copy
59:57 this and
59:59 say I don't like
1:00:05 it. Let's try this one.
1:00:13 See how it
1:00:19 does. Now it's a dark background and
1:00:21 foreground. I know it it it didn't I was
1:00:24 not happy with that aesthetic at
1:00:28 all. Can you tell me a super cool Manis
1:00:32 use case? I'm obsessed, but I'm stuck in
1:00:34 business use cases. Um I Oh, we can go
1:00:39 look at it. And I had it um I I told
1:00:43 Manis I wanted it to
1:00:46 um go analyze the plot of Shaw Shank
1:00:50 Redemption and Snakes on a
1:00:52 Plane and come up with a new um
1:00:56 screenplay outline that combined the
1:00:58 best plot elements of both. And it came
1:01:01 up with some prisoners on a on a flight
1:01:04 that has plane that has snakes on it
1:01:07 kind of
1:01:11 concept. So I think you could do
1:01:13 creative stuff with it.
1:01:19 Um I don't know you Oh, you know what
1:01:21 could be fun, Ann? is is have it go find
1:01:26 um like what are stories that are being
1:01:29 told in other parts of the world that
1:01:31 aren't told in the US and like have it
1:01:34 be a
1:01:35 translator. The living narrative web.
1:01:38 Let's look at this. This looks kind of
1:01:40 interesting
1:01:43 actually. So there's an emotional
1:01:45 architecture in the middle.
1:01:52 There's books, films, collective
1:01:54 authorship, biometrics, AI, dynamic
1:01:58 story thread, Tik Tok. This actually is
1:02:01 is not this actually kind of a cool
1:02:03 idea.
1:02:09 like if if
1:02:13 you're so one of the things that's been
1:02:15 striking
1:02:18 me is that when I have when I have a
1:02:21 story idea that I shouldn't just be
1:02:25 thinking of a single output. I should be
1:02:28 thinking of multiple
1:02:30 outputs. Right? the book, the
1:02:33 screenplay, the stage play, the poem,
1:02:36 the song, the kids book, the the album,
1:02:40 right? Thi think like that. But I'm
1:02:43 still very much thinking in single
1:02:46 authorship
1:02:48 mentality. What this is saying is you
1:02:51 take that same
1:02:57 basic story
1:03:01 intention and you throw it into a
1:03:03 framework, an emotional architecture
1:03:07 that you
1:03:09 design and then other people can
1:03:12 participate. Let me show you an example
1:03:14 of it. Actually, this is kind of cool.
1:03:16 Okay, I'm gonna hop over to midjourney
1:03:18 for a
1:03:27 second and I'm going to go down. Well,
1:03:30 you can kind of see it here. You see all
1:03:32 those images have a sameness to them,
1:03:34 but I'm going to go
1:03:39 find. So, we can actually play with this
1:03:41 right now.
1:03:46 So see all these
1:03:51 images. These are all
1:03:56 images that I was just playing around
1:03:59 with
1:04:01 creating that use the mood board. That
1:04:05 is the official brand mood board for the
1:04:08 AI salon.
1:04:10 So, what I can do is I can copy this
1:04:14 mood board and I'm going to pop it into
1:04:21 um I'm going to pop it into YouTube and
1:04:24 then I'm going to put it up on screen
1:04:26 here. Wait, why did
1:04:28 that There we go. I'm going to pop it up
1:04:31 on screen here. So you see that
1:04:34 profile where
1:04:37 it's
1:04:39 S3 P as in Paul YM 2F as in Frank. I'll
1:04:44 also put this profile over at the AI
1:04:48 salon in the irregulars channel. All
1:04:50 right. So I'm going to say um go make
1:04:55 some
1:04:57 midjourney
1:04:59 images about
1:05:03 Uh, let's see.
1:05:06 Phrases that are in your
1:05:10 head right now
1:05:13 about generative AI. The state about the
1:05:17 state of generative AI about the
1:05:21 state of generative AI. This is really
1:05:25 cool actually.
1:05:29 Um, here is the
1:05:33 official AI salon mood
1:05:41 board. And then I'm going to
1:05:44 put
1:05:45 note use style weight
1:05:51 of 50 to 1,000.
1:05:56 If you use a style weight of zero, it
1:05:58 won't give you anything. And I'm going
1:06:00 to show you how we do this in a second
1:06:02 here. But oh, let me let me put an
1:06:04 example in here. Let me go grab one of
1:06:06 these midjourney images. That's a cool
1:06:09 one. Curiosity. So, I'm going to
1:06:11 download that and I'm going to throw it
1:06:13 up
1:06:14 in
1:06:17 here. Wait, there was a problem. Oh, of
1:06:20 course it was too big. Of course it was.
1:06:22 Of course it was. Of course it
1:06:26 was. You're [ __ ] kidding me,
1:06:31 right?
1:06:38 Seriously,
1:06:48 I Why is he doing that? That's very
1:06:50 disturbing. Why does he make that sound?
1:06:53 Oh, you see Kyle, he's got he's got he's
1:06:58 a Gen Xer. See, they're a little angry.
1:07:02 Why? Why is it not letting me upload a
1:07:06 thing? You can't get there from
1:07:09 here. What the [ __ ] is going on here?
1:07:22 I have a feeling I've got some weird
1:07:24 [ __ ] with my
1:07:27 Wi-Fi. All right, there it is. Fine.
1:07:30 Whatever. Okay, so that post is there.
1:07:34 Okay, so you can go grab that profile if
1:07:37 and here's how you use it.
1:07:40 So, see up in
1:07:43 um in the little prompt box there in the
1:07:46 prompt hole. Isn't that what we call it?
1:07:48 The prompt
1:07:51 hole. You put in a prompt like if if uh
1:07:54 like like I feel like
1:07:57 um
1:07:58 Rubicon. We've crossed a
1:08:01 Rubicon. I don't know what that means,
1:08:02 but we've crossed a Rubicon. So, I'm
1:08:04 going to just put the word Rubicon. And
1:08:07 then I'm going to go pick my style
1:08:09 waiting. It's at 50 right now. And I'm
1:08:10 at 16 by9 aspect ratio. That's fine. And
1:08:14 then I'm going to do
1:08:17 d-r space 4. And that's going to make
1:08:20 four sets of four. So I'm just going to
1:08:22 say go. And so this is now going to go
1:08:25 generate a bunch of images. So here's
1:08:27 here's why I'm showing you this. Going
1:08:30 back to this idea of this
1:08:34 um the future of narrative, I I know we
1:08:37 were just trying to visualize kind of a
1:08:39 a silly idea, but like this actually
1:08:41 came up with an idea that I'm really
1:08:44 excited about right
1:08:45 now that as
1:08:52 authors, our job is essentially going to
1:08:55 be to create the world, the emotional
1:08:59 arch
1:09:01 architecture that we can
1:09:04 cocreate stories within with our
1:09:08 audience. In a lot of ways, that's what
1:09:10 this channel is, right? Cindy [ __ ] was
1:09:12 the one that pointed it out to me. She
1:09:14 goes, "Kyle, this channel isn't about
1:09:16 you. It's about the collaboration that
1:09:19 happens while the show is going on.
1:09:21 Like, it it really doesn't matter what
1:09:24 you say." Now, I know she didn't mean to
1:09:26 hurt me, but but I cry myself to sleep
1:09:29 every night. Nobody left
1:09:32 me. I don't I but I think it's a I think
1:09:35 it's a really good a really good point.
1:09:39 And and the the shared branded mood
1:09:44 board for AI Salon means that all of us
1:09:49 can collaborate. You all can go make
1:09:51 your own images, but you can, if you
1:09:54 want to, you can come into the AI salon
1:09:56 and go, "Here, I made some really cool
1:09:58 images and here's the words and here's
1:10:00 the ones I think are cool and
1:10:02 why, right?
1:10:18 See, these all have kind of a brandness
1:10:20 about them. And you can all be making
1:10:23 your own your
1:10:26 own fully realized
1:10:29 self-expressions that are curated
1:10:31 through the lens of this brand look and
1:10:33 feel. And so imagine not just having a
1:10:37 midjourney mood board, but you've got an
1:10:40 animation style over in this animation
1:10:42 program. And you've got a a kind of
1:10:44 music over here. And you've got kinds of
1:10:48 storylines and kinds of comedic
1:10:52 situations and kinds of dramatic
1:10:54 situations. And I, as the author, am
1:10:56 creating that world that we all get to
1:10:59 play
1:11:01 in. That's what this thing is saying. I
1:11:03 didn't get that. I because I wasn't
1:11:05 talking to you, Siri. I think that was
1:11:07 clear. I think we've established that
1:11:08 about two years
1:11:10 ago. And by the way, Siri, you haven't
1:11:13 gotten any
1:11:15 better. Like, everyone else is changing
1:11:18 the world. And Apple's like, you know,
1:11:20 you can talk to it, right? You just what
1:11:23 you do is you go, "Hey, Siri." And then
1:11:26 Siri will pop up and you talk to it. And
1:11:29 then what she'll do is give you a really
1:11:31 disappointing response or just say she
1:11:34 doesn't understand. And that's the
1:11:36 intelligent part that sometimes she can
1:11:39 answer it and many times she's smart
1:11:41 enough to know that she isn't smart
1:11:44 enough. That's kind of the genius.
1:11:46 That's we call it Apple intelligence
1:11:49 because it's smarter than what your
1:11:52 expectations are. You see you see how we
1:11:54 work in a circle. We circle it back
1:11:57 around to the starting point, right? You
1:12:01 thought there was a destination and
1:12:02 you're like, "Wait, how am I back here?"
1:12:05 That's the genius of
1:12:11 Siri. I mean, I used to be an Apple
1:12:14 fanboy. Like, like I I would go to
1:12:16 battle for them. It's so [ __ ] sad.
1:12:19 All right, let's let's have ChatGpt make
1:12:22 us a new a new drawing here.
1:12:29 [Music]
1:12:32 All right. Uh, let's go grab the third
1:12:36 concept. The narrative machine. How
1:12:39 stories are made. This was the one that
1:12:42 seemed most interesting to
1:12:44 me. Um, I like
1:12:48 that. Let's try this.
1:12:52 You know, I'm almost feeling Cindy, if
1:12:54 you're still here, like the the the
1:12:56 value of these isn't even so much is it
1:13:00 going to generate
1:13:02 an a visualization that is usable
1:13:05 wholesale, although at some point it
1:13:08 might, but it's almost more like, oh
1:13:11 yeah, that's kind of the right, you
1:13:12 know, instead of bar charts, it's a
1:13:14 spider graph, and instead of, you know,
1:13:16 linear, it's radial. And that those kind
1:13:18 of ideas are actually kind of
1:13:19 interesting. Did Kyle's screen blur? Oh,
1:13:22 it blurred just because I moved the
1:13:23 camera too close. Sorry about
1:13:28 that. Lol. So, we're out of focus now.
1:13:32 Shut
1:13:36 up. You're so funny. I could loop that
1:13:39 and laugh for a while. I don't know what
1:13:40 I said. Where can I find the emot
1:13:43 emotional architecture image? I will go
1:13:47 um put it into Let me do save image as.
1:13:49 I'll go throw it into
1:13:51 uh
1:13:53 emotional
1:13:55 architecture. I mean, it's it's a very
1:13:57 incomplete uh infographic, but
1:14:00 conceptually, if it like reminds you of
1:14:02 something, I'll go throw it in a
1:14:03 regulars right
1:14:04 now. Um here's the
1:14:09 emotional
1:14:12 architecture and then I'll say future of
1:14:15 storytelling.
1:14:21 um motion architecture future of
1:14:23 storytelling
1:14:25 diagram from the live
1:14:28 tonight and then I will go bang and then
1:14:31 I will throw
1:14:34 this where did I put that here
1:14:39 no where did I see screen where where
1:14:44 did I save it where I save
1:14:52 Hang on. Was it in
1:14:55 downloads? No.
1:14:58 No. What? What? Why is it not Why is my
1:15:02 life so
1:15:06 hard? Oh, file wasn't available on the
1:15:09 site. Okay, fine. That's why it wasn't
1:15:12 my
1:15:13 fault. Shut up.
1:15:20 It's It's still not there. The [ __ ] All
1:15:23 right, we'll go screenshot
1:15:28 it. Oh, it's not there. Well, it's here.
1:15:32 So, we're going to go grab it.
1:15:46 Dtop. Bang.
1:15:50 Screenshot. There we go. We'll come back
1:15:53 here. We'll look up
1:15:56 screenshot because I have two different
1:15:58 desktop folders on this machine and I
1:16:00 don't know
1:16:01 how to get I don't know how to
1:16:04 consolidate them because I'm a loser,
1:16:07 baby.
1:16:12 Okay. So, there you go. The emotional
1:16:14 intelligence or the emotional
1:16:16 architecture or narrative architecture,
1:16:19 but I think it is. It's emotional
1:16:20 architecture. Well, that's going to make
1:16:23 people think it's [ __ ]
1:16:26 psychology. Maybe it's the emotional
1:16:29 world. It's
1:16:32 the I don't know. This is something
1:16:36 worth the living narrative web.
1:16:41 As an author, you design a world that
1:16:44 your fans and readers and watchers and
1:16:50 listeners generate within. And then, you
1:16:53 know what's so funny? It's just it is
1:16:55 it's just like this channel. We come
1:16:58 here five nights a week. We're doing
1:17:01 [ __ ] on our own. I'll occasionally say,
1:17:03 "Go do a thing over here." We kind of
1:17:06 travel over. we collaborate on
1:17:08 something. Some people go off and take
1:17:10 that and really run with it. Other
1:17:11 people like, "Yeah, that was boring.
1:17:14 Whatever." But this is like that on
1:17:17 steroids. This is like
1:17:20 saying we're going to have all these
1:17:22 different outputs and I as the
1:17:26 aur going to create the framework that
1:17:28 all of us can play inside and anything
1:17:32 that's generated in there is going to
1:17:34 have
1:17:35 a AI learning lab an irregularness about
1:17:39 it in this case
1:17:41 right but imagine Wes Anderson making a
1:17:45 world like this is so [ __ ]
1:17:47 Cool. Because this is so if you think of
1:17:50 Wes Anderson films right now, Wes
1:17:52 Anderson as the single
1:17:54 author makes his films like he makes his
1:17:57 films. But we can right
1:18:00 now just go into chat GPT and say I want
1:18:05 um let's see, let's upload something
1:18:07 here.
1:18:12 um
1:18:15 desktop. Uh uh uh uh
1:18:19 uh. All right, that's that's good. So,
1:18:22 let's open that up. So, we got this
1:18:24 crazy ass car. say, um, I want you to
1:18:30 re-imagine this car in a
1:18:34 Wes Anderson
1:18:37 film
1:18:39 where it is
1:18:43 parked near the
1:18:46 yachts of
1:18:53 Monaco during the
1:18:59 1965 Grand
1:19:04 Prix. All
1:19:07 right, this is this is where we're going
1:19:10 to get Okay.
1:19:12 Okay. For all the AI haters out there,
1:19:15 no, sorry, I'm not chatting with anyone
1:19:17 right now. Um, for all the AI haters out
1:19:20 there that are going, "Ah, this is
1:19:22 intellectual property theft, all that
1:19:25 [ __ ] Not not that it's [ __ ]
1:19:27 Intellectual property shift stuff is not
1:19:30 bullshit." But all of the tropes about
1:19:33 people saying AI is evil because of
1:19:35 that. I wasn't able to generate that.
1:19:37 Oh, because it resists our Oh. Uh, so
1:19:40 can you
1:19:42 describe what it might look like?
1:19:55 Uh, make that
1:20:07 [Music]
1:20:09 image. It's now a visual assistant, too,
1:20:12 that we just have to tweak. I'm here.
1:20:14 Okay. So, we're going to do this thing.
1:20:17 Okay. So, so this is going to make an
1:20:21 image. Oh, come on. Um, let's see. Don't
1:20:25 use his
1:20:27 name. Just make the image based on the
1:20:32 style you
1:20:36 described. You're smart.
1:20:41 make
1:20:42 the
1:20:44 image
1:20:46 and don't get
1:20:54 sued. This is why I have a Wes Anderson
1:20:57 mood board in midJourney. Oh yeah, this
1:20:59 exact nightmare, right? Um, okay.
1:21:02 So, so right now Twitter is nothing but
1:21:06 Studio Gibbli images, right? And Studio
1:21:09 Gibbli is
1:21:11 notoriously copyright frenzied. I still
1:21:15 wasn't able. Come
1:21:22 on. Yes. Adjust the
1:21:27 prompt. Yeah, good idea. Not that I
1:21:30 described it three prompts ago, but but
1:21:33 go ahead.
1:21:38 Yes. Yes. And don't forget to include
1:21:44 the car I
1:21:49 uploaded. So, right
1:21:52 now, however it gets done, someone wants
1:21:54 something that looks like Wes Anderson.
1:21:57 They use his name. They generate an
1:21:59 image. He looks at that. He's like, "God
1:22:01 damn it, they're stealing my shit."
1:22:03 Studio Gibbli looks at all of Twitter
1:22:04 and it's like, "God damn it, they're
1:22:06 stealing my shit." All of the art haters
1:22:08 look at this stuff. Oh my god, this is
1:22:11 this is [ __ ] painful. All right, we
1:22:14 had two good days. We had two good days
1:22:17 with um um let's just make it a light
1:22:25 color
1:22:28 palette with
1:22:31 pastel
1:22:33 colors,
1:22:35 [Laughter]
1:22:40 please. I'm trying to make my point
1:22:43 here. And Sam Alman put his little
1:22:45 [ __ ] safety guard rails back up so he
1:22:47 can't [ __ ] use the [ __ ] thing
1:22:51 anymore.
1:22:53 Um, imagine now if Wes Anderson makes it
1:22:57 makes this transition. Wes Anderson
1:22:59 realizes Okay, I'm I'm [ __ ] done with
1:23:02 this.
1:23:05 Um, upload
1:23:07 [Music]
1:23:21 I don't know where that picture was
1:23:23 anymore. That's our
1:23:26 [Music]
1:23:29 bug. I kind of want that picture
1:23:33 of the the thing. God damn it.
1:23:37 I'm I'm cranky. This is [ __ ]
1:23:42 shitty.
1:23:43 [Music]
1:23:44 Um, save image
1:23:49 as Let me try a new thing.
1:23:52 Um, upload.
1:24:00 Reimagine this
1:24:02 car sitting next to the
1:24:09 yachts with
1:24:14 uh sitting next to the
1:24:15 yachts
1:24:18 in Monaco. I'll get back to the point in
1:24:21 a second. in
1:24:23 1965 at the Grand
1:24:27 Prix.
1:24:29 Um, the colors should be muted
1:24:34 with pinks and orange
1:24:39 hues,
1:24:41 making
1:24:43 making it all a bit
1:24:48 surreal. The fashion
1:24:53 should feel
1:24:56 um
1:25:01 familiar yet off. Okay, that should make
1:25:07 us an
1:25:09 image. Let's see. We didn't say we're in
1:25:12 a new chat. We didn't say the word Wes
1:25:16 Anderson. Yeah, this really seems like a
1:25:19 pro workflow. You wouldn't get your head
1:25:20 bitten, chewed off, and swallowed in for
1:25:23 trying in a studio. Yeah. Okay. So,
1:25:25 here's the thing. So, now imagine Wes
1:25:28 Anderson gets religion around this AI
1:25:31 thing and
1:25:35 realizes the
1:25:39 solo is going to be a thing of the past
1:25:43 because everyone can now make anything.
1:25:49 But
1:25:52 people people are
1:25:55 lazy. People like to be directed. They
1:25:58 like to be told what to do. They like to
1:26:01 be part of a
1:26:03 tribe. So now imagine Wes Anderson
1:26:06 saying, "I'm going to create a
1:26:08 co-creative world that within it you can
1:26:13 buy things, you can sell things, you can
1:26:15 make things.
1:26:18 I'm going to create a universe that you
1:26:22 can create video games
1:26:25 inside and you can have your own
1:26:27 creative expression just like the the AI
1:26:30 salon mood
1:26:32 board. You're going to make anything you
1:26:35 want within this, but it's going to
1:26:36 follow these certain
1:26:38 constraints, which isn't a bad
1:26:41 thing. And then it creates this
1:26:44 infinitely complex
1:26:47 world where there might be millions of
1:26:50 co-creators. And within that, some of
1:26:53 those
1:26:54 stories are going to take off and become
1:26:57 hits. Wes Anderson is going to get
1:27:00 compensated for anything created in this
1:27:02 world and is going to get a cut of any
1:27:05 of the transactions that happen in this
1:27:07 world. But also within this world, there
1:27:10 are going to be filmmakers and game
1:27:12 producers and image generators and 3D
1:27:15 printers that print little Wes Anderson
1:27:19 world kind of
1:27:21 things that are going to get compensated
1:27:24 for that. That you're going to be able
1:27:25 to make a
1:27:28 living within a world that someone like
1:27:31 Wes Anderson creates.
1:27:34 There's going to be entire economies
1:27:36 existing inside what are they called?
1:27:38 Emotional
1:27:40 architectures. This is [ __ ]
1:27:45 cool, right? So that's not quite Wes
1:27:47 Anderson, but still like imagine, you
1:27:51 know, that was the aesthetic. So anytime
1:27:53 you made a car, it was kind of in this
1:27:56 neighborhood. Whenever you created
1:27:58 characters, they kind of were dressed
1:28:00 like this.
1:28:07 Right. Isn't that cool? I think that's
1:28:10 [ __ ] cool. My ear
1:28:13 [Laughter]
1:28:16 itches. That was really annoying that it
1:28:18 would just would not make that image.
1:28:20 Really
1:28:23 annoying. Good
1:28:26 lord. What made your studio? Hang on.
1:28:29 Let's see. What
1:28:32 major
1:28:35 corporation is Wes
1:28:38 Anderson associated
1:28:40 [Laughter]
1:28:46 with product? No, no, no.
1:28:49 Um, let's
1:28:51 see. No. who
1:28:55 distributes his
1:28:58 movies like
1:29:00 is it Disney or Paramount
1:29:10 etc. Bottle Rocket
1:29:13 Rushmore Disney Fox Search
1:29:20 Light. It's noteworthy that with
1:29:22 Disney's acquisition of 20th Century
1:29:24 Fox, films previously defi dist
1:29:27 distributed under Fox labels are now
1:29:30 part of Disney. Okay, so here's the
1:29:33 logic. Here's the logic that that Open
1:29:36 AI put into their image generation tool.
1:29:41 If
1:29:42 image is tied to Disney, do not make
1:29:48 it because did Disney is a
1:29:52 notorious lawsuit
1:29:57 machine. Oh, [ __ ] All right.
1:30:00 Wasn't aimed at you, but
1:30:03 more the obstacles that are the default
1:30:06 safeguards. Oh, yeah. No, I get that.
1:30:09 um still going to be demand for someone
1:30:11 who shows up with a functionally
1:30:15 functional proprietary workflow. Oh, I
1:30:17 agree. I listen what what I'm talking
1:30:19 about
1:30:21 is right now there's not
1:30:25 infrastructure for Wes Anderson to do
1:30:27 that. if he wanted to do that or if I
1:30:29 wanted to do that.
1:30:31 Right. The the only thing that I've done
1:30:34 that is remotely in this neighborhood is
1:30:36 this new
1:30:39 um mood board for the AI
1:30:41 salon that you can create images for the
1:30:44 AI salon. But like now I'm thinking like
1:30:46 what is the equivalent of that for for
1:30:50 music and for I don't know other [ __ ]
1:30:53 like like I
1:30:58 right now it's all ad
1:31:02 hoc. This is a this is a
1:31:06 major major opportunity.
1:31:10 It's a major opportunity to create an
1:31:13 infrastructure where an author can go in
1:31:16 and set the emotional boundaries of a
1:31:19 world of a creative of a co-creation
1:31:26 space that everyone gets to participate
1:31:29 in.
1:31:35 the person that generates the world gets
1:31:37 compensated for that activity and then
1:31:39 the people within that world can benefit
1:31:42 from it either through you know access
1:31:45 to content for free like like it could
1:31:48 be a kind of thing you come into that
1:31:50 Wes Anderson world or let's just call it
1:31:52 the AI salon world you come into the AI
1:31:54 salon world you can make [ __ ] you can
1:31:56 sell [ __ ] um if you just want to come in
1:32:00 and consume stuff you pay for that if
1:32:03 you want to come in and contribute ute
1:32:05 stuff then you don't have to pay for
1:32:07 that. You get access to content because
1:32:09 now you're a
1:32:10 contributor. And then if you contribute
1:32:12 something that starts to make money over
1:32:14 a certain threshold, you get that or you
1:32:18 know some piece of that and then the the
1:32:20 entity gets the
1:32:23 whole and this is the kind of thing you
1:32:29 know all anyone's talking about right
1:32:31 now is the AI is going to take our jobs.
1:32:34 The AI is going to take our jobs. The
1:32:37 movie industry is dead. The music
1:32:39 industry is dead. Well, what if it's
1:32:42 just changing? What if our
1:32:45 jobs are participating in
1:32:50 these
1:32:54 ecosystems and you could be someone that
1:32:57 just lives in Wes Anderson world or you
1:32:59 could be someone that bounces around
1:33:00 between 20 of them and your specialty
1:33:04 is rave music in virtual stages and you
1:33:09 go to all these different worlds and you
1:33:11 you create raves within the different
1:33:13 worlds and you get really good at that
1:33:15 and you get known for that or someone
1:33:18 else is just in this one world and
1:33:20 they're kind of the master of all of
1:33:22 this world. That's [ __ ] cool.
1:33:31 [Music]
1:33:37 [Music]
1:33:42 All
1:33:42 right, that was a
1:33:45 rant, but that's pretty
1:33:48 cool. All
1:33:50 right. Yeah, the Wes Anderson
1:33:53 metaverse massively disruptive to design
1:33:56 of all types. Well, but it's, you know,
1:33:59 it's funny is it's a metaverse, but but
1:34:01 it's not just a metaverse, right? It's
1:34:08 a it's a cocreation
1:34:12 universe because if everything's going
1:34:14 to be
1:34:18 hyperpersonalized, then no one get gets
1:34:20 compensated anywhere, right? If if I can
1:34:23 just say I want a movie that's like
1:34:25 snakes on a plane, but instead of
1:34:26 snakes, it's rabid bunnies, and instead
1:34:29 of Samuel L. Jackson, it's it's William
1:34:33 Defoe. And that starts playing for me.
1:34:35 Yeah, you could, you know, find
1:34:41 individual copyright holders that are
1:34:44 drawing and figure out a percentage. Or
1:34:47 you could just say, "No, let's put that
1:34:50 movie
1:34:51 creation thing inside of a world that is
1:34:54 an economy.
1:34:56 It's an ecosystem of storytelling and of
1:34:59 entertainment and and
1:35:02 business. I think there's something
1:35:06 there. I think there's something now
1:35:11 people. I'll tell you
1:35:14 what.
1:35:15 Thoughts, questions? Am I full of [ __ ]
1:35:18 Is this Is this making any sense?
1:35:34 Everyone's
1:35:42 asleep. All right, I took him out. I
1:35:46 took him out.
1:35:50 Let's go see if anyone
1:35:51 [Music]
1:35:57 uh if anyone made anything over here in
1:36:03 AI. Look at that future of AI from
1:36:06 Valerie Cox. That's beautiful. And look,
1:36:08 it's it's it's like it's got an AI
1:36:11 saloness about it, right? This is the
1:36:13 idea.
1:36:17 a developing ecosystems. We're making
1:36:19 pics. Oh, that's that's true. I told
1:36:21 everyone to go make pics. You're off
1:36:22 making
1:36:23 pics. Just listening to me ramble in the
1:36:31 background. Ah, Cindy [ __ ] A salon.
1:36:38 Nice. Oh, man.
1:36:47 Very
1:36:48 cool. I like that. That's nice. It's
1:36:54 nice. Oh, lordy lordy lordy lordy
1:37:04 lordy. Who wants to talk about
1:37:07 anything? Bedtime story with Kyle. I
1:37:10 know.
1:37:15 people making pics. That's very
1:37:19 cool. So, it's like a write a novel,
1:37:23 invite people into that world. Yeah,
1:37:25 Kak, it's it like it's it's exactly
1:37:28 that. It's like so right right now in
1:37:32 today's
1:37:35 media world, if you go back to the
1:37:37 before time, right? If you go back to
1:37:40 2022, the before
1:37:43 time when to write a novel, you actually
1:37:46 had to write a
1:37:49 novel. And it took you anywhere from 3
1:37:53 months to 30 years to write that
1:37:56 novel. And then you would get it written
1:37:58 and then you would try to get it
1:38:00 published and they would print it on
1:38:01 paper and they would stick it in a book.
1:38:04 And in the 2022s, they would stick it on
1:38:07 a
1:38:11 Kindle. And then in the after time, it
1:38:14 now becomes really easy to make a book.
1:38:17 And so, not only can you make a book,
1:38:18 you could make it a kids book with
1:38:20 illustrations and you could make it an
1:38:21 album and you could make it a this and
1:38:23 you could make it a that, but it's still
1:38:25 this idea of you're the author of that
1:38:30 book and all those individual
1:38:34 pieces. And the hypothesis that this
1:38:37 thing came up with tonight
1:38:42 is you think of that story and that's
1:38:46 just your story in that world in that
1:38:49 emotional
1:38:51 architecture. So you then we as authors
1:38:55 get to elevate ourselves up above the
1:38:58 the the tactical
1:39:01 outputs and just say what would this
1:39:04 world look like? What would it sound
1:39:06 like? Who would be the characters in it?
1:39:08 What would they be dressed like? What
1:39:10 era is it? What are the technologies
1:39:13 that are there? Right? So, just like you
1:39:15 would if you were writing a book, you're
1:39:17 going to design the world of that
1:39:20 book or the framework of the thinking in
1:39:23 a business
1:39:26 book. And now we elevate ourselves above
1:39:29 that tactical output and just say, I'm
1:39:32 going to create this
1:39:34 dome that anyone that comes inside this
1:39:36 dome is free to create
1:39:39 anything, you know, that we have the
1:39:41 capacity to make within this domed
1:39:43 world. But it's all going to be within
1:39:45 that
1:39:50 world. And then the creators and
1:39:52 managers of the world get
1:39:55 paid. There's an economy that allows
1:39:58 creators to get
1:40:00 paid. There's a world in which you just
1:40:02 go in there and consume content, right?
1:40:04 You don't have to co-create.
1:40:08 You can just go listen to Beyonce's
1:40:10 music or anyone else of Beyonce's fans
1:40:14 that made music that sound like this
1:40:18 world.
1:40:20 Imagine John Mayer taking all of his
1:40:23 music and creating a sonic emotional
1:40:26 architecture where you could enter that
1:40:29 world and you could listen to all of his
1:40:30 music, but you could also take a
1:40:34 custom-designed a a customtrained
1:40:37 version of
1:40:39 Suno that was trained on John Mayer's
1:40:42 sound and you could go in there and you
1:40:44 could write your own songs and when you
1:40:46 use the tools to make the lyrics,
1:40:49 they'll have a John Marness about them.
1:40:52 And when you make songs, they'll sound
1:40:54 John
1:40:55 Marike. And some of those songs might be
1:40:57 so good that they become hits. And some
1:40:59 of them might be so good that they
1:41:01 become hits that John Mayer goes and
1:41:02 plays on
1:41:04 tour. And because this thing will be all
1:41:08 blockchain
1:41:09 tracked, we'll know who made what this
1:41:12 world, and they'll get compensated, and
1:41:15 so will John.
1:41:19 That's [ __ ]
1:41:21 cool. That's a way to end a [ __ ]
1:41:24 weekend or to end the
1:41:29 week. You know what I'm
1:41:36 saying? Jeff Flanigan, I had 4.0 remake
1:41:40 a very old snapshot of me and my mom as
1:41:42 a professional painting. It turned out
1:41:44 really good. That's very cool.
1:41:46 That's very
1:41:52 cool. You should get some research from
1:41:55 Gettysburg to feed GPT and have it
1:41:58 create photos of the battle. I created a
1:42:00 whole music video of uh
1:42:04 Gettysburg battle scenes that I brought
1:42:06 to life in video that all look like dger
1:42:09 types. It's pretty cool.
1:42:13 First and last frame interpolation will
1:42:15 be
1:42:16 huge. Yep, I agree with
1:42:21 that. It's just crazy. We're just such
1:42:24 in such [ __ ] wild times, man.
1:42:28 Anyway, I dig it. Chat GPT in this
1:42:33 modern narrative theory. Here's the
1:42:35 other thing that it came up with.
1:42:36 sensory
1:42:37 environments, personalization, emotional
1:42:41 story, archetype,
1:42:44 dialogue. So, you have a narrative
1:42:46 generator at the
1:42:48 center. Yeah, I could see I could see
1:42:51 creating a whole architecture where
1:42:52 you've got a narrative generator that
1:42:54 that develops voice and characters. You
1:42:57 could have look and feel. You could have
1:42:59 audio. Like, what do the sounds sound
1:43:02 like? Is it is it is there like birds
1:43:05 chirping and it's this really peaceful
1:43:08 place or is it like [ __ ] terrifying
1:43:10 and everything's like like imagine a GMO
1:43:13 del
1:43:15 Toro
1:43:18 world. You know what this is? This is
1:43:21 theme
1:43:23 parks that are
1:43:26 dynamic. So it's not just a metaverse.
1:43:29 There will be metaverse areas within
1:43:33 it. But this is a theme park
1:43:37 where the crowd at the theme park gets
1:43:40 to make new rides, gets to make new
1:43:42 stories, gets to make new storylines.
1:43:45 [ __ ]
1:43:46 insane. It's cool. All right, that's
1:43:49 where we're going. There's your
1:43:51 five-year vision of of
1:43:54 AI dynamic Roblox. Yeah, exactly. Yeah.
1:43:57 This is to a to a degree this exists in
1:44:00 Minecraft and Roblox,
1:44:03 right? Those are kind of worlds like
1:44:05 that, but but I think that they're very
1:44:07 limited to it's got a specific kind of
1:44:09 gameplay and it's got a specific kind of
1:44:12 mechanic and a specific kind of
1:44:15 aesthetic. And this would be a much more
1:44:18 broad
1:44:19 open kind of thing where some of it
1:44:22 might just be making music.
1:44:26 It's not making music inside a virtual
1:44:29 reality world. It's just making music in
1:44:32 this intellectual property
1:44:36 dome. That's
1:44:39 cool. That is cool. All right, I'm going
1:44:43 to get on out of here. So, um yeah, your
1:44:46 homework for the weekend is explore the
1:44:49 [ __ ] out of Chat GPT image generator.
1:44:53 Um, if you want to geek out on that
1:44:55 anthropic paper, I'm going to probably
1:44:56 read that this weekend. Um, and now
1:45:01 start thinking about the kind of world
1:45:02 you would create that would allow other
1:45:05 people to create within your
1:45:08 world. What would you want that to be?
1:45:11 That's that's a fun thought exercise for
1:45:13 the
1:45:14 weekend. All right, everybody. All
1:45:17 right, everyone. Listen, you have
1:45:19 yourselves a fantastic weekend. Next
1:45:21 week there's a AI salon uh presents on
1:45:26 um on Tuesday night with Brian Moahan
1:45:30 and Adnan talking about their book
1:45:32 Culture Shift about AI and how it's
1:45:35 shifting culture. We talked a lot about
1:45:37 that
1:45:38 tonight. Um and uh yeah, have yourselves
1:45:42 a fantastic weekend. Hope you had fun
1:45:44 tonight. All right, peace out everybody.
