1. 0:01Are you ready? [music] [music]
2. 0:18[music] >> [music]
3. 0:38>> freedom came my way that night. Just like a jet plane in and out of sight, I was hauling ass at a million miles an
4. 0:53hour. wondering how I'd hit when [singing] they came into the station. They said I was beyond repair,
5. 1:11but I got no problems with my situation. Say [singing] here I am. So [singing] say [music] Sheree Sheree
6. 1:27Sheree won't you dare to [singing] say Sheree Sheree Sheree won't you [singing] dare to [music] say Sheree Sheree Sheree [singing]
7. 1:42uh yeah leave a message and your number please take a time to walk to satis satisfy me.
8. 1:56>> Take all these old [singing] fantasies and send them care of me. [music] All right, good people. Good, good,
9. 2:10good. What? No tick tock. Vicki, you know we're on Tik Tok. >> [music]
10. 2:27[music] [music] >> Hello.
11. 2:42Uhoh. [music] >> [music]
12. 3:00>> She came on him like slow moving cold front. [music] His beard was [singing] warmer than a look in her eye. [music]
13. 3:15She sat on [singing] a stool and he said, "What do you want?" [music] She said, "Give me a love that don't freeze up inside." [singing]
14. 3:30[music] Said I have melted all of my time here. But to sit next to you, well, I shiver
15. 3:45and shake. [music] If I knew love, well, I don't think I'd be [singing and music] here. Asking myself if I've got what it takes
16. 4:03[music] to melt [singing] your icy blue heart. Oh, [music] she has time. [singing] Turn what's been frozen for years [music]
17. 4:19into a river of tears. [singing and music] >> [music]
18. 4:36>> Oh, got it flowing tonight. [music] Side hustle. Mimi has a bad connection. Sorry, we're not going to be able to do
19. 4:47the show tonight. If Side Hustle can't get all of this, I I guess she's going to have to watch a recording. It's
20. 4:56Listen, this is not easy. We're in tough times. Right. Cams. Yes. Cameras. There we go. Fantastic. Beautiful. Lovely. Black bar.
21. 5:08Uh Kyle, if you could go on ahead and put the black bar up for the people on Tik Tok. The people on Tik Tok are
22. 5:14really looking for a little support here. Kyle. You understand what we're saying? Oh, Kyle. Good lord. What a
23. 5:22mess. What a mess we've got here. What is going on? Just everybody calm down. Especially producer Brandon. He's over there. He's
24. 5:32post-it note raging. [music]
25. 5:47>> [music] [music] [music]
26. 6:01>> See the hill is quiet south where old trees sway. [music] Whisper of the pants echo through [singing] the day. [music] People
27. 6:14greet you with a nine. [music] Nothing ever seems to change. Stories still unfold. It's unique and strange. [music]
28. 6:31[music] Uh, if you're new here, welcome. My name's Kyle Shannon. This here is the AI learning lab.
29. 6:45And you're thinking like, well, it sounds like the mediocre old guy singing songs lab. Close. It's very close. Very
30. 6:52close to that. And then after I get bored with this and the dog falls asleep because he's tired of singing, then we
31. 6:59move on and we start talking about things. Usually some sort of philosophical brain fog that I am swimming through. Occasionally,
32. 7:09occasionally, if you hang out long enough, there's a pearl of wisdom that can be gleaned from something. It's kind of like the the the
33. 7:19thousand monkey, the million monkey theory, right? An infinite number of monkeys on an infinite number of
34. 7:26keyboards will eventually type out the complete works of Shakespeare. [laughter] So, so you just got to hang out and and
35. 7:35potentially three or four words from some lesserk known Shakespearean play may get strung together here. All right.
36. 7:42So, so that's the kind of that's the kind of insights that we promise here at the at the AI learning lab. Oh, and then
37. 7:50there's cool people that are here that come here every night and they're [ __ ] awesome. So, why you come here
38. 7:56is not for me, which should be obvious. It's for them. The monkeys accidentally made a Game of Thrones sequel. Actually, you know
39. 8:06what's funny, Brandon? That is in fact a really interesting connection that if you think about what what a large language model is, it's
40. 8:21essentially like all the typing of all the words of all the people and then it just generates new combinations of those tokens of those
41. 8:30fragments of words and yeah, it created a Game of Thrones sequel good enough that The court is going to allow George RR Martin to sue
42. 8:40the [ __ ] out of Open AI. [laughter] Crazy. Um, UDIO today. So, so I'm going to talk about this a bit later, but Udo
43. 8:55got bought by bought by or they have a strategic partnership with Universal Music Group. And uh as of today, you can no longer
44. 9:08download the songs that you made on Ude. People are not happy. [clears throat] [music] Um I've seen this movie before. The media
45. 9:24companies in in 1995 and 96 started panicking. They're like, "The internet's going to ruin publishing." And it did. They were right.
46. 9:37But you know th those big companies they go through a bunch of cycles. The first the first cycle is sue them. This the
47. 9:44second cycle is buy them. [laughter] And then and then the third the third phase of the cycle is destroy what
48. 9:56you've bought because you don't actually understand what you bought. So, so Yo, I I'm going to go on out on a limb here
49. 10:03and say, is pretty much dead at this point. [music] [music]
50. 10:20[music] [music] >> [music] >> Mapster V2025. It's exactly what it is,
51. 10:34Silver Fox. So, yeah, [laughter] it's just it's [ __ ] exhausting because because it just is. It's just
52. 10:46like like we've we've got to go through all the the the twistings and clutching of pearls, the clutching of
53. 10:56corporate pearls and the the uh the power center centers that where their power is eroding doing what they can legally and
54. 11:06financially to stop that power from eroding. Um, you know, some small percentage of those big companies will be fine. A lot of
55. 11:16them are going to get swallowed and acquired. You know, we're just going to have giant [ __ ] monopolies,
56. 11:24you know, even bigger [music] ones. And then depending on like like the music in industry is a really interesting one. It's going to be
57. 11:35fascinating to see how film and and the music industry absorb this. I was watching I don't know if you've watched
58. 11:42today Adobe Max's this week and so on TikTok all day today there were little snippets from from Adobe Max and it's
59. 11:50just like it's just like um like AI feature porn. [laughter] Adobe Max was just like look it'll automatically rename your layers. Oh,
60. 12:03look. You can you can remove a complicated thing from a scene and it'll understand all the places that need to
61. 12:09be retouched and it you know it's just and people like ah ooh [laughter] um yeah the other thing um the other thing that's happening ASCAP
62. 12:24BMI and whatever the third main licensing group is um today not not [clears throat] I assume not coincidentally
63. 12:37um but all of the major um publishing entities the copyright entities like ASCAP have have basically said today that they
64. 12:46will accept partially AI generated works. So if you're a musician and you use something like like like we've been doing on this
65. 12:56channel for [ __ ] two years now, right? where we start out, we get an idea, we go in there, sometimes Sunno
66. 13:03gives us the idea, sometimes we have the idea, we go in there, we generate lyrics somewhere else, we tweak them, we
67. 13:10rewrite them, we go in, we generate 40 [ __ ] songs till we find one we like, then we tweak that, then we publish
68. 13:16that, maybe make a video of that. You're going to be able to you're going to be able to retain your rights on on those. >> [music]
69. 13:27>> I don't know the specific laws, but this shit's moving fast, right? Like when it was the hip-hop era, it took
70. 13:38with sampling and Napster and hiphop sampling that took four or five years before
71. 13:52it wasn't just you're stealing from us. You're just you're ruining musicians lives. You're ruining everything. You horrible people. Um
72. 14:04it was a few years before they they sort of caved and accepted reality. [music] So the fact that this happened in kind
73. 14:10of a year and a half, that's that's pretty fast. [music] your thoughts on doing a print ondemand challenge using high quality AI made
74. 14:27um what do you mean a a print ondemand challenge? Do you mean a print on demand company? [music] I mean I think it's a great
75. 14:36idea. I'm actually an advisor to uh [music] to someone who's doing a print on demand t-shirt company. >> [music]
76. 14:52[music] >> Is there a challenge getting high quality AI images for print on demand? [ __ ] no. these these upscalers these
77. 15:04upscaling tools like Magnafi and uh Topaz Labs and there's one inside Korea now and there's a bunch of open source
78. 15:14models that are that are the uh that are that are the upscalers. The upscalers are really quite insane. So, if you get
79. 15:22your settings right, if if you're doing a print on demand site, basically all you'd have to do is figure out, you
80. 15:28know, two or three different kinds of of images and have different settings for them, like cartoons versus
81. 15:35photorealistic and things like that. Um, yeah, you can you can upscale. I mean, print on demand doesn't require
82. 15:43it's it's not like you're printing in high-end magazines, right? Print on demand is like if you have 600 dpi on a
83. 15:5012 by 12 image that's fine. [music] [music]
84. 16:05I meant that. Wait, would you do such a challenge on Tik Tok or post it? Oh, on your Tik Tok or and post it. Um, [music]
85. 16:20you know what I might do? All right, so we're going to kill a couple of birds with one stone here. So,
86. 16:26if you can pop up the uh the AI Festivus um banner there. Um Brandon, so on um on uh December 26th and 27th,
87. 16:42we're doing um a thing that we did last year called AI Festivus. AI for the rest of us. It's 900 p.m. It's 9:00 a.m. to
88. 16:51900 p.m. Friday and Saturday, December 26th and December 27th. And I I know you're like, "But that's right after the
89. 16:59holiday. That's right. Before I'm going to be with my family then. Why would you do big AI event then? Because you don't
90. 17:06want to be with your family. You want to be learning about AI. So, what I might do is maybe we'll do something like we'll do
91. 17:19an AI festivist um contest for people creating AI Festivus like social graphics and t-shirt graphics and then maybe we'll take the
92. 17:32best one and like a month out from a month out from Festivus, we'll launch a print on demand t-shirt or Something
93. 17:39like that. Yeah, I'd do that. I'd absolutely do that. Why not? That's a great idea. I like it. I like it. [music]
94. 17:47Do we have our Do we have our AI bot here tonight? Is AI Rising in the house? We got invaded by an AI bot last night.
95. 18:01I started creating the website itself, doing everything slowly. >> [music] [music]
96. 18:20[music] >> Kyle, can I do a small jingle inso? Only a sentence or a few words? Um,
97. 18:36uh, I don't think So, so does have a change the duration feature. So, once you produce a song, you can go into
98. 18:45studio, I think it is, and then there's there's a feature that where you can change the duration of a song. I don't
99. 18:51know if you can drop it down to jingle length. I think that um, producer.ai might allow you to do that because you
100. 19:01can just ask for it. Like producer.ai AI, you can just ask for what you want. Um, I think you can ask for song length there. Um,
101. 19:13we're going to go play tonight with Cartisia, which is it's it's my I think it's better than 11 Labs for like voice
102. 19:19cloning and natural voice. And they just came out with Sonic 3, which I guess Sonic is their model, and they just come
103. 19:26came out with Sonic 3. And I did I did a a clone of my voice. And when I do clones of my voice, because I'm like
104. 19:34kind of all over the place dynamic range-wise, um those clone voices rarely sound like me to me. Um this one actually sounded sounded
105. 19:48like me. Alan Turing said, "AI bot is on the way. >> [music]
106. 20:05>> You can edit it in Sunno Pro. [music] [music] [music]
107. 20:27>> [music] [music] >> Oh, am I buying a a 1x Neo Homebot to feed Champy Cheese? So, if you didn't see it,
108. 20:41there's a new a new bot that was released. Well, no, was not released. There's a new bot that you can pre-order
109. 20:49for 200 bucks. Producer Brandon pre-ordered one. Um, and Brandon, do you know do you know what those things are?
110. 20:56They're they're they're remotely operated robots. They're not AI they're not AI robots. Oh, you did not pre-order one? Oh, okay.
111. 21:08He's getting defensive. I'm pretty certain certain he pre-ordered one, but he's not going to admit it right now
112. 21:14because because he realized that there's a bunch of pro young laborers uh driving American robots around American homes,
113. 21:24snooping through everyone's drawers. [laughter] It's 500 bucks a month to have China snoop through your house. [laughter]
114. 21:36Yeah. The AI learning lab doesn't pay $20,000 in commissions. [music] Exactly. [laughter] [music]
115. 21:51Um, so we're going to play with uh we're going to play with Cartisia tonight and then we're also going to play with this
116. 21:58thing called Pamelli, which I don't like Google. I I don't [sighs] like notebook LM sounds like notebook
117. 22:10large language model. Notebook LM. Okay, it's a notebook. You're using a large language model and Gemini is like, you
118. 22:18know, begins with a G. And then there's this tool called Pamelli that they released two days ago. Um, I played with
119. 22:26it a little bit. It's pretty slick. So, we're going to go play with that. Um, if you if you're a video geek and you
120. 22:36want to compete for some some credits, uh, Hedra, H E D R A Hedra.ai, I think it is. Is that right? Um, Hedra, the
121. 22:47video tool, they're having a Halloween contest. So, if you make some Yeah, hedra.ai. If you make some Halloween
122. 22:56videos uh tonight and get them posted, they'll give you like a hundred credits or something like that. Um Pomelli is P O M E L L I. [music]
123. 23:13[music] >> [music]
124. 23:28[music] >> through blue [singing] telescope. Looking at the world tonight through
125. 23:42blue telescope. Wish I may, wish I might not see what I [singing] see. [music] Sheet metal on sheets of ice. [singing] [music]
126. 23:58Looking through this blue telescope [music] down a moon struck a road tonight. [singing] [music] All right, let's get going. Let's get
127. 24:14going here on that internet or Hey everybody out there on the internet. How you doing tonight? You doing good? Are
128. 24:22you a fan of the AI or are you like the robots ARE GOING TO KILL US? What are you people doing? [snorts]
129. 24:30Oh, you can be on either side of that spectrum. [laughter] I think it's more fun over on the optimist side. That other side seems
130. 24:42scary to me. [laughter] If you spend all your time reinforcing how scary AI is, there's lots of evidence out there. But you know what we
131. 24:53do here? [laughter] Rather than hide from it, we're like, "Well, it's here. It ain't going anywhere. Might as well learn to see if we can
132. 25:05use this thing in some sort of powerful way." And you know what we've discovered? You can I had a I had a cool thing. You can either
133. 25:19I had an epiphany today. So I had one last night where I tal I had this vision of you can either treat AI like it's in
134. 25:26front of you coming at you or like it's behind you pushing you forward. And then what struck me today is there's
135. 25:33some language that can go with that is you can either treat AI like a competitor or a collaborator. And if you treat it like a competitor,
136. 25:42you're like, "Ah, the AI is going to take my job and it's gonna it's coming at me, right? It's it's it's in my face
137. 25:47coming at me." Or you can say, "Hey, wait a minute. I've got agency. I'm a human. I'm going to choose to put myself
138. 25:58forward. So, I'm going to take my ideas and my questions and my challenges and my problems I want to solve and those are going to lead
139. 26:11and and I'm going to employ AI to amplify me. So, I'm going to strap it on behind me like a jetpack. Fill in all my gaps, take my ideas,
140. 26:24amplify them, go change the [ __ ] world. Like, you can choose to use it either way. I think this latter one's kind of
141. 26:33cool, right? You get to become the super genius and AI is just there supporting you. Or [snorts] you can fight it, [laughter]
142. 26:45which I just think is as these robots get smarter, that's gonna suck more and more to fight it or just ignore it. LA
143. 26:55AI is not coming for my job. AI is not coming for my job. [snorts] So anyway, all right. What are we going to do?
144. 27:03Let's go do Pomelli because it seems to be Mr. It seems to be confused about where it is, who it is, what it is. I I
145. 27:12know it sounds like a pasta brand, doesn't it? I had that rotini tonight. I had, you know what I had? That brand I
146. 27:18had was the pomelli. So good. I had the pomelli protein pasta. It's actually made of chickpeas. Oh my goodness.
147. 27:26Right. Cuz normally I get a little bit of the flux after after I have a plate of pasta, you know? I'm like, "Oh, that
148. 27:32was so tasty." And then I'm like, [laughter] "Right." But not with the protein pasta because it's chickpeas.
149. 27:39It's got a lot of protein in it. So fantastic. That Pomelli brand is delicious. I don't know why they named it that. Um, [laughter]
150. 27:48apparently someone had pasta the night before. It goes well with your nano banana. That's good. Producer Brandon.
151. 27:55Producer Brandon on tonight. He's feeling a little better. He's been a little under the weather, so he's been a
152. 28:00little lowkey, but he's he's popping in there. Nice. All right. What is this? Uh, what's the Wait, hang on a sec. Breaking Canva.
153. 28:15A fully re-imagined professional design app combining photo, vector, and layout tools in one fast, responsive platform.
154. 28:22It's pro and now it's completely free for everyone. Wow. All right. What's that tool called? Is it a tool
155. 28:31within Canva? Because Canva is really [ __ ] complicated. Oh, it's called Affinity. Okay, cool. All right, so may
156. 28:37put that on the list. Maybe we'll go look at that, too. Um, okay, let's go. Let's go to Pamelly, shall we?
157. 28:46Um, is it is it labs.google.com/pamelli? Probably. Labs labs.google.com. Did it work?
158. 29:00Yes, it did. Hi, we're experiencing high demand right now. That's what happens when you make something cool, you dumb dumbs. Okay. Um,
159. 29:11how do I go? Campaigns. Business DNA. Reset business DNA. Delete all. Okay. So, here's how this thing works. Tabs.
160. 29:21Oh, apparently all you all wanted to see this [laughter] again. Producer Brandon being on it tonight. [laughter]
161. 29:33Oh man, it also lowers the barrier to entry to have such LLMs for creating malicious software. Yeah, it does. It does. I mean I mean here's
162. 29:45the deal. If listen, for me this is a thing of focus. If what you want to focus on is [ __ ] with AI are going
163. 29:52to do shitty things, then you can focus on that. My my point of view is that's all the media is focusing on and that's all people
164. 30:02outside of AI are focusing on. So I'm going to swim upstream a little bit and focus on what if the good
165. 30:09[clears throat] guys did something with AI and that's what this channel's about. But yeah, [ __ ] can do bad things and
166. 30:16[ __ ] can do bad things with the internet right now and with social engineering and telephones, right? Like
167. 30:22it's like everything can be used for bad and and I understand that AI is more powerful but also the good guys have AI
168. 30:31too. So whatever. Okay. So this thing pomelli what this is is you basically just point it at a website and it will
169. 30:42crawl the website and it will design a brand DNA for you. like it'll pull your logos, your fonts, your uh your brand
170. 30:50colors and create like a whole thing and then you can generate um it'll give you like campaign ideas and then you can
171. 30:59generate creative executions without it. You know, this is basically like a creative director in your pocket. Um
172. 31:06[snorts] so we'll just go we'll just go throw this I'll point this over at my my company website. How do I start? Oh, let's go.
173. 31:15So, I'm [snorts] going to go to storyvine.com. story store storyvine.com. Hi, my name is Cal Shannon. CEO of Storyvine
174. 31:24analyzing your website. About 10 minutes left. Oh. Oh, see. Oh, and it does it does what some of these, you know, some
175. 31:33of the agents do. So, this is an agent. So, it's going off and it's searching my website and it's got some sort of whack, you
176. 31:44know, virtual browser here because it can't open everything on the site. Finding your logo, learning your tone of voice,
177. 31:56writing your tagline. Right? So, it's doing all this cool stuff. About 10 minutes left. Studying your brand values.
178. 32:05Do you have to have a website to use Pomelli? I don't know. Probably you have to point it at something. You could you could potentially you
179. 32:15could you know what you could do, Mr. IT, is you could vibe code up a site and just point it at that. All right, this is done.
180. 32:29It got all of our colors wrong. [laughter] We makes We make video storytelling automagic. That's not bad. Brand values,
181. 32:37structure and control, on brand, on message, democratizing storytelling, authenticity, keep the human element,
182. 32:44speed and scale. That's pretty good. And then here's images. So there's our logo. [clears throat]
183. 32:59All right. Got a bunch of stuff from the site. Very nice. Very nice. Very nice. And I guess you can you can add or
184. 33:07remove images. So if it got stuff wrong, you can remove them. That's pretty slick. What's this? Oh, okay. That's just that.
185. 33:21Beautiful. All right. Next, we'll use your business DNA to generate social media campaigns. Looks good. So, okay.
186. 33:29Okay, so you can go edit your brand values. Tone of voice, confident, informative, empowering, casual. That's
187. 33:35good. Brand aesthetic, professional, technologically focused, modern, trustworthy, human centric. Technologically focused and human
188. 33:43centric seem to be contradictory, but they're not. They don't have to be. Um, these colors are wrong, but you can go
189. 33:51in and edit them, so that's good. Yep. Very nice. Lovely. But we don't care. We'll we'll just let them be shitty for now.
190. 34:01The font is sans serif. Let's see. Okay, it's loading font. So, it's it's uh what is our font? Open sands.
191. 34:10Open sands. There we go. So, I just changed that. This is pretty slick, right? Like, it's pretty good. All right. So
192. 34:22start here from our suggestions or prompt to create a new campaign. Suggestions based on business DA uh DNA
193. 34:31UGC meets structure. Start choosing quality or scale. Oh, stop choosing scale video. Keep control. That's kind
194. 34:41of in the neighborhood of what we're talking about. But what I'm going to do is say um pharma is our target market and
195. 34:57authentic video, scalable and compliant all seem to be contradict. ictory, but
196. 35:14we can make it happen. All right, let's see what this comes up with. By the way,
197. 35:31it probably wouldn't be that hard to vibe code something like this yourself, right? There's three modules here.
198. 35:41There's there's the the brand DNA module is go scan a website and pull these specific elements. Go pull logos, go
199. 35:50pull images, go pull language and then they've just got a nice framework to drop all those elements and they're all editable.
200. 36:02This module is like the creative brief like what's what are we trying to do? Who's the target market here? Right? So
201. 36:09let's come up with some highle concepts and then once we pick one of these then it'll drop us into the third module
202. 36:15which is go generate a bunch of ads. Worry-free pharma storytelling. That's not bad. Authentic video zero compliance
203. 36:22risk. Three ways pharma scales video fast. Let's go with worry-free pharma storytelling. All right. So relieving the stress and
204. 36:31fear of non-compliant video content that's associated and the associated financial and legal risks in the pharma
205. 36:38sector. Cool. And so now it's over making ads authentic storytelling scaled capture patient stories and HCP interviews
206. 36:49without sacrificing legal safeguards fast and safe. And it's got a human being and it's kind of in our in that
207. 36:56kind of blue thing we have. This is horrible. I hate that graphic. Um, scale video simplify compliance.
208. 37:06Pre-approved templates guide staff to create authentic. That's close. Can I edit that description? Yes. Guide patients and HCPs. Patients,
209. 37:21HCPs, and sales reps. All right. Beautiful. Beautiful. Beautiful. Beautiful. I love it. Fantastic.
210. 37:38And so, see what they did here? See like like every every one of these ads has the same recipe. It's got a little
211. 37:45header, a little description, and then an image, and a call to action. Scale video. Simplify compliance. Uh,
212. 37:59nice. All right, I like it. It remembered the change I made. Good. Finally, worry-free pharma video.
213. 38:14So, let me change the header. Finally, worry-free UGC video for pharma. You see what I did there?
214. 38:34That's pretty slick. Uh oh. Fix layout. About 2 minutes left. Oh man. And my messages are doubling up. Be back after bedtime. [laughter]
215. 38:50Okay. I see you're all in here helping each other. Nice. I think this is for the talented and gifted class. I need to make a website.
216. 39:00[laughter] My connection is terrible tonight. All three guys gaming or racing. Yeah, that's rough. If you got a house full of
217. 39:10gamers and they're uh and they're streaming. Yeah, it's going to be rough. [sighs]
218. 39:28So [snorts] anyway, relatively simple simple concept here, you know, imagine imagine the sophisticated version of this, right?
219. 39:40like this. This becomes if if Canva does their [ __ ] right, their what is it called? Affinity, their
220. 39:48affinity tool should be some version of this. My guess is it's not going to be. My guess is it's going to be like an
221. 39:57automator for canvas Canva workflows where this is completely rethinking how you'd create a campaign.
222. 40:06Anyway, any questions, thoughts on this? Pomelli. Oh, but Affinity is already a product.
223. 40:22Oh, okay. Yeah. Well, I figured [clears throat] that Adobe that Adobe uh Max conference is wild because here's here's my here's
224. 40:34my two cents on Adobe. Let me let me get rid of this thing. So, [snorts] I would say Pomelli is worth at least going to play with just
225. 40:42to see like that feels this feels like a site that was put together relatively quickly. It's relatively basic. It's got
226. 40:50decent design, but it's probably just a design a UX kit that they built it on top of and they [clears throat] probably
227. 40:56vibe coded it. [snorts] Maybe that's why it's in labs. Shut up. Shut up, producer. [laughter] Um, okay. Um, here's my thoughts. Here's
228. 41:11my thoughts on Adobe is [sighs and gasps] they're they're walking a a tight rope right now. And but I think they have to.
229. 41:27But the more the more generative AI they add into their tools, the less their tools are going to be necessary. like the the core features of
230. 41:40their tools which are all about control and pixel peeping and you know all the [ __ ] that that handcrafty designers do.
231. 41:52They've got they've got two things going against them right now. Adobe does. One is their pricing practice is they've
232. 41:59basically got the entire creative community held hostage. Right? If you want to use professional creative tools,
233. 42:08you have to use Adobe. And Adobe knows that, right? They've bought all of the different components of the creative workflow.
234. 42:18And talking to John Neack, my buddy John Neack that used I used to work with in the olden timey days and he was he
235. 42:26worked for Photoshop for a bunch of years and then he came in and he he worked on the AI side of Adobe. um
236. 42:34you know they resisted things like automated creative tools for years like you know people would pitch them
237. 42:41automation all the time and they said no no Adobee is about handcrafting things so they so they've got they have successfully cultivated
238. 42:54the entire creative industry to take deep and great pride in depth of creative workflow and along comes AI which basically says
239. 43:07[ __ ] it just say some words and we'll make pictures right so you got these cowboys on the outside going look at
240. 43:14this is cool this is cool hey you want to make something you want to make something cool hey we can turn it into video now right [laughter]
241. 43:22and Adobe's over here going uh that's that's not fair that's that's theft they stole they theft and So they they they
242. 43:31put together their their Firefly, their sort of AI. We we'll keep AI off in the corner. And then over the past two
243. 43:40years, they've let AI invade more and more of the product. there's going to be a tipping point where they either have to just embrace it and
244. 43:53let it take over their product suite and probably consolidate and lose features and [snorts] I don't know or launch a
245. 44:00whole new AI kind of line or they're going to have to artificially stop it to protect their effective monopoly in creative workflow tools.
246. 44:13um like the creative community doesn't like them very much cuz their pricing practices are just [ __ ] egregious.
247. 44:24And so as AI tools get better and better and better [laughter] they're they're sort of building into
248. 44:32their tool the thing that is going to be the demise of their tool. [laughter] It's like I don't think there's a
249. 44:39there's a good answer. Like I I feel like they're kind of they're trying to be half pregnant with AI. Like they're leaning into it,
250. 44:48but they're like, "But this other stuff's still really important." Well, which is it? And it could be both, but
251. 44:55it's kind of not going to be. And then they're going to eventually be competing with zero. They're gonna be competing with instant
252. 45:04instant creative long- form storytelling just generated for free, right? That's what they're going to be competing with.
253. 45:15So they can say, "Hey, how you should really make a movie is you should spend a month working on those motion graphics
254. 45:21to get those special effects just right." When some 14-year-old snot-nosed kid down the block is just prompting a movie into
255. 45:32existence. [laughter] Ann Murphy's here. Ann Murphy was shaking. Are you in the car still? Are you [laughter] Are you watching Are you
256. 45:43watching this from the car? She was on a road trip. [laughter] Um, so Ann Murphy, if you don't know, she is an absolute rock star. She just
257. 45:55she just finished up and is is likely having a little postpartum depression from the create conference. So Ann is
258. 46:02the founder of She Leads AI and they just put on their their first annual create conference which is really
259. 46:07amazing. The AI salon was a was a big sponsor of it and really proud to do so and it was really amazing event. Um and
260. 46:14uh so Ann and I are co-hosting Festivist that I talked about earlier. So if you don't know Anne, you need to know an
261. 46:20she's a rock star. Um but she's also like on a road trip. Tell the people the news. Oh yes. So um so I don't have it
262. 46:29inked. I don't have it contracted, but um I have gotten agreement from Robert Scoble to be one of our speakers at
263. 46:38Festivus. So Festivus, we have uh 24 1-hour slots that happen over a 36-hour period. So, it's Friday the 26th and
264. 46:48Saturday the 27th from 9:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. Pacific time, both of those days. Um, so, so basically 12 12 hours each day of
265. 47:00super generous AI education. And so Robert Scoville, if you don't know him, he's been he used to write about Apple
266. 47:06for years and then he wrote about tech and mobile and the iPhone and now he's super into um the vision pro goggles and
267. 47:15you know way deep into AI and things like that. So Robert is a kind of soothsayer because he just pays attention to everything and he's
268. 47:23connected to everyone. So that's really exciting. Um, do you think this will be like Rand McNal? Rand McN Rand McN. The map the map company.
269. 47:37[laughter] Vicki, what? That that that is so cool. Isn't that cool? Um, yeah. So, I'm super excited. I'm super excited. And so, if
270. 47:48you know anyone who should speak at Festiva, so here's the deal with Festivus. I I talked about this last night, but
271. 47:56but last year um I say we reached out to 35 speakers. Let me be a little bit a little bit more accurate tonight because
272. 48:05Ann's here. An reached out to 36 35 speakers last year and 34 of them said yes. So, we decided to do this and she
273. 48:14goes, "Oh, I'll go send out some emails." And so, so she came back to me like a week later. She's like, "Kyle, uh [laughter]
274. 48:21everyone said yes. what do we do? And and like everyone showed up and the one person that couldn't do it just had
275. 48:30a conflict. They wanted to do it but couldn't. Um and just all of the speakers showed up with with a a level
276. 48:37of generosity and excitement for being part of this thing that that I want to make sure that we retain this year. Um
277. 48:46but it was just it was really a magical event. So I'm super excited about that. Um that's amazing. Come on. December. I
278. 48:53know, right? I know. It's going to be really good. The other thing that we're doing with Festivus this year, and and if you're
279. 49:00like, "But where do we go? What do we do?" If you want to see last year's, we we haven't updated the site, but if you
280. 49:06want to see like last year's speaker lineup and what what it was, if you go to aifest.com, um you can see what was going on last
281. 49:13year. If you want basically updates and as we as we start rolling things out this year, just go to community.thesalon.ai.
282. 49:21um community.thesal salon.ai. Um that's our that's our community site and it'll be announced in there all over
283. 49:30the place. So what are the dates? The 26 December 26th, Friday, and December 27th, Saturday. And it's going to be swell. It was it
284. 49:44was funny. I was talking to Ann tonight and and uh the thing about that event was well first [laughter] of all it was
285. 49:57absolute chaos because we put it together in two weeks. So, knowing knowing knowing that Ann and I are both
286. 50:04fairly deep in the deep end of ADD, um the fact that we have more than two weeks to prepare this year is probably a
287. 50:12disadvantage. Like last year, we were just sort of screaming with our hair on fire and just went. Um, but it was the
288. 50:22the thing about it was like it was as high value as, you know, conferences that you go to that you pay thousands of
289. 50:30dollars for, but it was super concentrated and there was just something celebratory about it, right? There was just something people were
290. 50:39just into it. They were just like, "This is the best thing." And, you know, some people were like completely new. I I I
291. 50:46heard I got to learn AI, so I just came here. And you know, they sort of with their eyes closed and their head turned
292. 50:52like this is probably going to be a bunch of nerds. And it wasn't. It was a bunch of human beings that are just
293. 50:57like, "Hey man, I don't know what I'm doing with this AI [ __ ] either. I'm trying to figure it out." And it was
294. 51:02like, it was just it was just a really beautiful thing. So, we're going to, you know, our mission and in my mission is
295. 51:09to maintain that level of excitement and things like that. It was a feeling a feeling of immense belonging. Oh, that's
296. 51:16really good. Yeah, that that's right. That's right. Oh man, sometimes screaming coming in with your hair on fire. Tell that to Richard
297. 51:28Prior. [laughter] And then they take Oh yeah, that was the other thing. So So last year it was, you know, over 36 hours. 12 hours one day,
298. 51:3812 hours the second day. We got to the end of the 12 hours on the second day and people were like, "Can can we hang
299. 51:44out more? Can you guys want to hang out?" like, "No, we want to go to bed." They're like, "We want to hang out." So,
300. 51:51there was like a rogue afterparty. So, we're going to provide the infrastructure for the afterparty. So,
301. 51:57we're going to go for 36 hours and then Ann and I are going to go take naps [laughter] and you all can jump into
302. 52:04[clears throat] the afterparty and do whatever the hell you want to do. [laughter] Oh, yeah. And last night, Ann, you'll
303. 52:14love this. So, you know how we were talking about doing the the 60-day countdown thing? So, I talked about that
304. 52:20last night and we had like three different people vibe coded us an advent calendar. So, we now have an advent
305. 52:25calendar. Do we know the Do we know the address of it? Wait. 9 + 9 equals 24. What? Brandon is doing cryptic
306. 52:44Oh, I keep saying 36 hours. There's a 12-h hour gap in the middle. So, it's over 36 hours. Two 12-h hour sessions.
307. 52:51So, 9 to9 then 12 hours off, then 9 to9. Where do we get the [clears throat] advent calendar? It's at Brandon's going
308. 53:00to give it to me. I think it's in the salon. Where in the salon? community feed.
309. 53:21And did it get updated? Did Joe update it last night? All right, Brandon's going to go find it on the salon. Tell me where it is.
310. 53:29She did. Oh, cool. Awesome. Do you know where it is? [laughter] Because I don't. Affinity is now free forever.
311. 53:44That's Canva. Danielle's in giving us all sorts of access to stuff. If you're not in Irregulars right now, that's you're
312. 53:52being a loser. There's cool stuff going on. Okay, irregulars. Wind in my pockets. There's the video we made tonight. I don't see it.
313. 54:06>> [clears throat] >> Advent calendar. Oh, that's the PDF. Refresh.
314. 54:21Uh flowth.
315. 54:35Um, advent calendar PDF. Yeah, that's [sighs]
316. 54:54refresh. I did refresh. Ah, advent calendar. Here we go. Okay.
317. 55:09So, okay. So, Ann at the top. Okay. Going to try to find at the top of irregulars right now. Brandon just did a
318. 55:20post and it's got a screenshot of it, but I've got it on screen right now. Can you see it? No, because I didn't share
319. 55:25that tab. Now you can see it. So, and check this out. So, [laughter] so it's got the countdown and every one
320. 55:32of the every one of these tabs jumps you to a different AI tool. [laughter] So, like here's claude AI.
321. 55:39Um, tomorrow is Google Gemini 56 56 days out is Hey Jen, PA Labs Opus clip. How crazy is this? Isn't this cool?
322. 55:50And then it it ends with uh with uh what you call it um 25 26 it ends with uh festivists. I know.
323. 56:07Isn't it cool? So, it's [laughter] like, oh, which by the way, speaking of like just doing [ __ ] like you know, someone
324. 56:17says, "Hey, we should make an advent calendar." And like three or four people all go and do it. And then this was the
325. 56:23one we ended up picking. Um, [clears throat] I've been talking this week about treating AI like a practice. And
326. 56:36the [clears throat] basic idea there, if you haven't heard it, if you're new here, the basic idea of treating AI like
327. 56:41a practice is treat it like a daily practice, like meditation. And think about activities in three broad areas. Play first, which looks like
328. 56:53learning, but not learning like, oh my god, I've got to learn something. I've got to go to class. No, think of learning like, I'm going to
329. 57:02go play. I'm going to go play with these tools. And particularly, I'm going to go play with tools that do [ __ ] that I'm not good at.
330. 57:12You know those things that give you like aa when you're like you think about doing them, you're like I'm really horrible at
331. 57:19that. Like like I'm like that with money. I'm like that makes me go ew. [laughter] You might be like that with pictures or
332. 57:27with words or with business stuff, whatever. Go play with these tools. And what you will discover is that all the things you
333. 57:37thought you were shitty at, you can now do. So that's play. So imagine doing that every day like a practice. I'm going to
334. 57:46go play for 15 minutes on something. The next area to think about is create excellence. So So build something, solve
335. 57:56a problem. Like this advent calendar was we were talking about things. Man, it would be so cool if we had this
336. 58:01countdown. It was someone in here. It wasn't my idea. Like I said something about the advent calendar and then
337. 58:06someone said, "Oh, every day could be a different tool you go try like play." I was like, "Oh, that's really good." I
338. 58:13said, "Someone should vibe code that." And like 15 minutes later, someone had [laughter] it's amazing, right? And so think about
339. 58:22like solving a problem or building something. And then the third area to think about as a part of a daily practice is leading.
340. 58:32Generously leading, sharing what you've learned, sharing the things you've built, you know, putting it out there.
341. 58:38Well, it's not very good. It only took me like 15 minutes. Yeah. Apology, apology, apology. Stop [ __ ] apologizing
342. 58:46and just share what you're learning. Because in doing that it'll anchor what you're learning but it will also establish you as a leader
343. 58:57someone who is thinking critically about AI and thinking critically about humanity and other people and you'll start to engender trust.
344. 59:06So, [snorts] and if you do that in a place like the AI salon where she leads AI, you start to make friends and you
345. 59:13start to make, you know, colleagues and and start to to build relationships. And when the [ __ ] starts to hit the fan
346. 59:21with with employment, being in groups like this is going to be really important. So, there you have it. Fantastic, blob.
347. 59:33I built a countdown a iOS app as well. Oh, super cool. Post it in uh post it in community feed um data staples and post
348. 59:43it in a regulars if you would. All right, groovy. All right, so let's go play with Cartisia. Relationships scare
349. 59:50me. They should. People suck. [laughter] You should be scared. But it doesn't mean that you shouldn't be in community. [laughter]
350. 1:00:01It really doesn't. it like here. So, so let me let me dig one layer deeper on on why I think this is important [sighs] in today's world.
351. 1:00:16If you've got really excellent skills in a in a especially in a particular vertical, you're really good at motion
352. 1:00:24graphics or you're really good at a particular kind of writing, medical writing, law, law, whatever it is.
353. 1:00:33Your value in today's world is tied to those skills. the tasks of all of the individual skills are increasingly going to be automated out
354. 1:00:46by AI. So the implication of that is is if if I work with someone that's really good at this kind kind of law
355. 1:00:57and I know that they're good at that kind of law, but I actually hate working with them. We're moving into an era where there's
356. 1:01:04going to be other lawyers that have access to AI that are going to be as good as that person at that deep
357. 1:01:09vertical because they're going to have access to all of the knowledge of the world. And as these tools get better,
358. 1:01:17those those deep vertical expertise are going to get democratized out. And so then who do you end up working with in a
359. 1:01:25world where everyone can essentially do everything? You start to work with people you like. You start to work with people you trust,
360. 1:01:34with people that you know give a [ __ ] right? Have the right attitude. Like how how we hire today versus how
361. 1:01:43we're going to hire five years from now are very different worlds. So being in a community where you're trusted and
362. 1:01:50you're a contributor and you're reliable and you show up and you do things and you, you know, take one for the team every now and again.
363. 1:01:59That's going to be incredibly valuable in the next three years. All right. I want to work with that guy who threw
364. 1:02:05the rock in the quarry next to me just to watch the splash. I [snorts] love those videos. The ice videos. I'm such a
365. 1:02:12sucker for those [laughter] those those Tik Tok videos of like you know this what women think we're thinking and then
366. 1:02:19what we're thinking and it's just like throwing a rock in a quarry and like [laughter] oh my god that's hilarious. Okay. Um let's go to um
367. 1:02:34Cartisia. Cartisia Cartisia.ai A I C A R T E S I A. Let me sign in here.
368. 1:02:52Instant clone. Let me see if I can let me see if I can do an instant clone of my sir. Yes,
369. 1:03:07rather. I was I was wondering uh sir, what pretail by chance are your qualifications? So, [laughter] let me
370. 1:03:20uh disconnect over there. Hang on. Are we recording? Yeah, I guess we're recorded. Okay. Okay.
371. 1:03:35[cough and clears throat] Uh yes. Uh carrying on then rather pretail. Sir, I was wondering uh by chance uh if you could share with me
372. 1:03:45rather your own qualifications. Uh I was wondering if you had any by chance qualifications. Sir, of course. Okay. [laughter]
373. 1:04:01Oh, it must at most 10 seconds of audio. Okay, fine. I was wondering uh by chance uh if you could share with me rather
374. 1:04:10your own qualifications. Uh I was wondering if you had any by chance. >> By chance. [laughter] Oh, that's good. uh like
375. 1:04:25>> uh by chance uh if >> I was wondering >> you could share with me rather your own qualifications. Uh I was wondering if you had any by
376. 1:04:43uh that's fine. All right. So we're going to go we're just going to call this like pompus Kyle. Pompus Kyle description. He's a pompous
377. 1:04:55ass [laughter] language sort of English clone consent. Yes, you have you have my consent to use my stupid voice.
378. 1:05:09Okay, so now let's go let's go to chat GPT and write a pompous script. [laughter] Okay. Um, I have a character
379. 1:05:24that is a pompus ass. Oh, I think pompus has two s's, doesn't it? No. Must whatever.
380. 1:05:38Oh, is it pompus? P us. P us ss. How do you spell pompus? >> [laughter] >> It's hard to be pompus if you don't know
381. 1:05:47how to spell it. Oh, o us u s pompus. Okay, fine. That I have a character that is a pompus s. Um um I need a speech where he asks
382. 1:06:04someone for their qualifications in a rude
383. 1:06:18yet seemingly polite way. Okay, let's see if we can get Chachi Pay to do a little. [laughter] Here's your speech. Ah, splendid. You're
384. 1:06:36the one I've heard so very much about. Now, before we go any further, purely for my own clarity, you understand.
385. 1:06:42Might I trouble you to outline your qualifications? This is good. Nothing tedious, of course, just the highlights,
386. 1:06:50your formal education. Okay, that's good. We'll we'll just do the the short little part here. That's good. All
387. 1:06:56right. See? You see? You see how this works? All right. Where where is my tab? If you wouldn't have so many tabs open,
388. 1:07:08it would be easier to find things. Shut up. Uh why is that not let me reload that? >> [snorts]
389. 1:07:26>> text to speech. Uh, my voices, pompous Kyle, here we go. All right, [clears throat]
390. 1:07:40here we go. Let's see how it is. Ah, splendid. You're the one I've heard so very much about. Now, before we go any
391. 1:07:48further, purely for my own clarity, you understand? Might I trouble you to outline your qualifications? >> It's nothing tedious.
392. 1:07:55>> It's not good. All right, let's go back. It didn't It didn't get the accent. It's because it was a shitty accent. [laughter]
393. 1:08:03All right, so I'm just going to talk normal. So, let's see. Let's see. I'll record a thing here. Um, [clears throat]
394. 1:08:12I'm recording audio to clone my voice. Afterward, I'll be able to produce speech that sounds just like me. I can't
395. 1:08:18wait to hear what it sounds like. All right, 3 to 10 seconds. That was 8.22 seconds. >> I'm recording audio to clone my voice.
396. 1:08:27Afterward, I'll be able to produce speech that sounds just like me. I can't wait to hear what it sounds like.
397. 1:08:32>> All right, I got to do this with the little microphone here. Um, I'm recording audio to clone my voice. Afterwards, I'll be able to
398. 1:08:46I'm recording audio to clone my voice. Afterward, I'll be able to produce speech that sounds just like me. I can't
399. 1:08:52wait to hear what it sounds like. I'm recording audio to clone my voice. Afterward, I'll be able to produce
400. 1:09:01speech that sounds just like me. I can't wait to hear what it sounds like. All right, so we'll we'll call this Kyle overacting. [laughter]
401. 1:09:11Description. Um, Kyle when he is overacting. [laughter] It's Oh, by the way, if you're new here, a lot of this channel is just me
402. 1:09:25entertaining myself. All right. Clone. Yes, I have permission. It's nice to meet you. Hope you're
403. 1:09:40having a great day. That's pretty good. Um, welcome to the AI learning lab. You should treat AI as a practice.
404. 1:10:00You can either compete with AI or collaborate with AI. Your choice.
405. 1:10:16The latter sucks less. [clears throat] Welcome to the AI learning lab. You should treat AI as a practice. You can
406. 1:10:31either compete with AI or collaborate with AI. Your choice. The latter sucks less. >> It's not bad. >> Welcome to the AI learning lab.
407. 1:10:42>> That was bad. >> AI as a practice. [laughter] >> That was really bad. >> Welcome to the AI learning lab. You
408. 1:10:48should treat AI as a practice. You can either compete with AI or collaborate with AI. your choice. The latter sucks less
409. 1:10:57>> website. The one I'm on right now is Cartisia. Cartesia.ai. C A R T E S I A. So, it's like 11 Labs, but I think this one's better than 11
410. 1:11:09Labs. Provoice clone. Oh, you can do the Provoice clone. You'll need 30 to 120 minutes of audio.
411. 1:11:26And then it's more expensive to uh to generate. But the instant voice cloning is pretty good. Localize a voice. Oh, pompus Kyle.
412. 1:11:38So the input is pompus Kyle. The output language. Oh, accent. So wait. So, we'll do English and then we'll do accent. Oh, this is cool.
413. 1:11:53Southern. Let's do me as southern. Kyle. Kyle overacting. Southern. Isn't Pompus Kyle British? Yes. Okay,
414. 1:12:10let's go do that. Wait. So, okay. So, wait. We'll localize. Oh, it may take up to 30. Oh, 30 seconds to localize your voice.
415. 1:12:26Try Sonic 3. I think I'm using Sonic 3.
416. 1:12:42All right, let me try [clears throat] Pompus Kyle. See if we can throw in some British.
417. 1:13:10Scroll down. Nope, there's no scrolling. Localize. Localizing voice. Okay, now it's working. Or maybe I just didn't see that before.
418. 1:13:22It's in the bottom right there. It's doing something. Localizing voice. Yes, rather. Carrying on. All right, here we go.
419. 1:13:37It's nice to meet you. Hope you're having a great day. All right. So, good. So, let's put in our big old
420. 1:13:46>> Ah, Splendid. You're the one I've heard so very much about. Now, before we go any further, purely for my own clarity,
421. 1:13:52you understand. Might I trouble you to outline your qualifications? Nothing tedious, of course, just the highlights. It's not bad.
422. 1:14:03[laughter] Yes. Uh yes. Um let's see. Uh yes, that is fascinating. Mr. Shannon, but being that you are technically
423. 1:14:23an employee of British Airways, you likely understand
424. 1:14:39that when we travel for free. We are required [laughter] required to wear
425. 1:14:56dot dot dot smart dot dot dot pants. Good day, Mr. Shannon. This was a real conversation I had.
426. 1:15:11Good day. [laughter] >> Yes, that is fascinating, Mr. Shannon. But being that you are technically an employee of British Airways, you likely
427. 1:15:22understand that when we travel for free, we are required to wear smart pants. Good day, Mr. Shannon. Good day.
428. 1:15:31>> It's not quite there, but it's not bad. >> Yes, that is fascinating, Mr. Shannon. But being that you are technically an
429. 1:15:38employee of British Airways, you likely understand that when we travel for free, we are required to wear smart pants. >> Day, Mr. Shannon,
430. 1:15:46>> I know we might not be in Sonic 3. Let's Let's go see if this is different. This is text to speech. Yeah, there's Pompus Kyle.
431. 1:15:58>> Ah, Splendid. You're the one I've heard so very much about. Now, before we go any further, Pure. Now, is there do I have
432. 1:16:08do I have British me? No. I guess you have to do the you can't save the uh the dialect as a separate thing.
433. 1:16:20Oh, no I can. Yeah, here I can. Ah, splendid. You're the one I've heard so very much about. Now, before we go any
434. 1:16:28further, purely for my own clarity, you understand. Might I trouble you to outline your qualifications? Nothing
435. 1:16:35tedious, of course, just the highlights. That's not bad. All right. [snorts] Make him mad. Oh, yeah. Let's
436. 1:16:44see. Calm, neutral, excited, angry. All right. Here he is. Angry. >> Ah, splendid. You're the one I've heard
437. 1:16:53so very much about. Now, before we go any further, purely for my own clarity, you understand? Might I trouble you to
438. 1:16:59outline your qualifications? Nothing tedious, of course, just the highlights. >> Here, let's try calm. Calm. Calm is more
439. 1:17:07of this personality. >> Ah, splendid. You're the one I've heard so very much about. Now, before we go
440. 1:17:13any further, purely for my own clarity, >> man, that sucked. Content. What's that one? Excited. Sad. We'll do content.
441. 1:17:22>> Ah, splendid. You're the one I've heard so very much about. Now, before we go any further, purely for my own clarity,
442. 1:17:29you understand. Might I trouble you to outline your qualifications? Nothing tedious, of course, just the highlights. >> Let's see. Um,
443. 1:17:39write me a sophisticated poem with word play, double and triple
444. 1:17:54on Tandras, and lots of imagery about A man's love of candy.
445. 1:18:10[laughter] I just said Twizzlers before I came on. He speaks of sweets as others speaks speak of saints. All right, let's let's
446. 1:18:22give let's give Cartisia a nice meaty poem. [laughter] Oh, wait. You're not you're not looking at this. That doesn't matter. Okay, here
447. 1:18:30we go. Um, so here's my poem. Let's see. There we go. And what is it? Every four lines.
448. 1:18:45Yeah. Every four lines. Bang. Bang. Bang. Bang. Bang.
449. 1:18:59Bang. All right. >> He speaks of sweets as others speak of saints in whispers sugared, reverent, and obscene. >> Let's do this excited.
450. 1:19:16He speaks of sweets as others speak of saints in whispers sugared, reverent, and obscene. Each syllable a caramel
451. 1:19:23that melts between his tongue and teeth a slow dissolve of restraint. Licorice lines his thoughts and coils and sin.
452. 1:19:31>> Don't like it. Let me Let's do Let's do overacting Kyle. >> He speaks of sweets as others speak of saints in whisper sugared reverent and
453. 1:19:46He speaks of sweets as others speak of saints in whisper sugared reverent and obscene. Each syllable a caramel that
454. 1:19:54melts between his tongue and teeth a slow dissolve of restraint. >> That's pretty close. >> Licorice lines his thoughts and coils in
455. 1:20:01sin. Black ribbons wrapping logic's brittle spine. He swears devotion to nougat and rind. Says loves a sucker
456. 1:20:08punch. He takes it on the chin. Chocolate his church. >> Sounds like high school English. It does. This is a good solid high school
457. 1:20:16poem. [laughter] Oh man. All right, enough enough playing. Um, so so one thing that I would like to do,
458. 1:20:32um, Brandon's put together a really cool, um, a really, cool is not the right word, a a very generous, uh, offering. So,
459. 1:20:44as you as you may know or likely know, um people that are on SNAP benefits are about to enter the weekend and uh and
460. 1:20:53basically face Monday potentially without food. Um I I assume this is some version of governmental theater and
461. 1:21:02there'll be some last minute reprieve, but if there's not um and it's very possible that there's not going to be,
462. 1:21:07there's going to be a lot of people struggling. So, Brandon, do you want to come up? Can you come up and share what
463. 1:21:11what you've put together and and what you've been thinking about? >> Yeah. And I don't know what's going on
464. 1:21:19with my camera. Um so let me let me switch over here. >> All right. There we go. >> There you go. >> Y um so yeah, so I uh put together a
465. 1:21:29custom GPT, >> which if you're new here, those are just basically customized versions of chat GPT that you can put instructions
466. 1:21:38around. And I used the conversation mode when I was building it. So I knew that there was going to be this problem and
467. 1:21:46people were going to be without resources. And I know that United Way is a great resource and you should call 211
468. 1:21:51in your local community. They have great volunteers nationwide that are available 24 hours a day. But if you don't want to
469. 1:21:57talk to somebody and you need help, uh you now have the ability to uh talk to chat GBT. And keep in mind
470. 1:22:05with custom GPTs in this case, I didn't add any proprietary data. I didn't put anything behind it that you couldn't
471. 1:22:13find in a Google search. But what I did was I gave it a personality. I gave it a tone. I gave it a benchmark of what I wanted it to be, a
472. 1:22:24personality of who I wanted it to be. And so if you come over to chat GPT and you click on explore under the GPT tab,
473. 1:22:33you just either search for my name uh Brandon Ted or you search for the word snap and you'll probably find this help
474. 1:22:40after snap uh GPT. And what this is is a conversational AI. >> You're not sharing your screen if you think you are. Oh. Uh, well,
475. 1:22:53it's [snorts] how about now? >> Yep. [clears throat] >> All right. So, if you come over to explore GPTs and search in the bar for
476. 1:23:02either my name or SNAP or help after SNAP is the name of the GPT, we start the chat and uh it's got some prompts
477. 1:23:11here. So, you can either find a food assistance. You give it your zip code and find food assistance. What can I do
478. 1:23:16after losing SNAP? connect to local 211 services uh or connect create a resource list for a client if you're in a
479. 1:23:24caseworker or a volunteer that's trying to help somebody else. But if you click on like what would I do after losing
480. 1:23:30SNAP, not only is it going to give you the information, but most importantly, it's going to give you empathy. You
481. 1:23:35know, I'm really sorry you're going through that. It's it's really stressful. The good news is that there
482. 1:23:39are still ways to get food. So I did that on chat GPT which a lot of people have access to but if you don't have
483. 1:23:47access to chat GPT I also built an Instagram avatar that's susie snaphelper that has the same instructions but is
484. 1:23:56available on Facebook Messenger on Instagram Messenger and on WhatsApp. So you can have that same conversation in
485. 1:24:03this environment as well if you don't want to pour your uh conversation out onto chat GPT. So, they're both free to
486. 1:24:10use and I hope that they they help somebody. >> That's absolutely awesome. So, first of all, thank you for doing that, for
487. 1:24:17thinking of that. Um, what I'd love to do, Brandon, we should let's grab the recording from tonight. Let's grab that
488. 1:24:23as a snippet and we'll we'll boost that on our socials. We'll put it on the salon, but let's also get it out on the
489. 1:24:30socials. And then my request to all of you is when we put that video out there, um, or if you went and found that right
490. 1:24:37now and you want to talk about it and tag the salon and tag Brandon, that would be great. Um, but yeah, let's get
491. 1:24:42it out there because I think it's, you know, if if indeed we're we're headed down the path it looks like we're headed
492. 1:24:48down, then people might be might be looking for help and that's super cool that you did that. So, thank you. >> Yep. My point.
493. 1:24:56>> Yep. Beautiful. Um, you know, back to back to AI as a practice. Um, the whole point of talking about AI as a
494. 1:25:09practice has nothing to do with AI. It has to do with us as human beings trying to figure out who we are.
495. 1:25:21And in in doing that, understanding that these tools might help us do other things or do more than we might be able
496. 1:25:28to do on our own. And I think the project that Brandon just showed us is a really good example of, you know, he put
497. 1:25:36himself forward first, right? He had this idea. He had this compassion and he said, "Hey, you know, I'm in touch
498. 1:25:44enough with what's going on and what's possible with AI. I can just whip whip this thing up. I can just put it out
499. 1:25:50there." So, just like the advent calendar just got put out there, um he was able to kind of have this thought
500. 1:25:56and just instantly be in action. That's the whole idea of AI as a practice is that you're just in the
501. 1:26:06practice of thinking about it and right to the point that it becomes second nature. So, when you have an idea like
502. 1:26:13that, I want to make a difference. Oh, I could just go make a difference, right? So anyway, kudos, kudos, kudos. Um,
503. 1:26:21what's Brandon's link? If you go to Brandon, where do you want to put it on on uh on the salon? I guess in in the
504. 1:26:28community feed and in irregulars and then we'll do it when we get the when we get the video together, we'll
505. 1:26:36put that in uh we'll do it as a salon announcement. It's in the community feed right now. So, if you go to community.thesalon.ai AI
506. 1:26:48on the left hand side you'll see toward the top there's a there's a little uh space an area called community feed and
507. 1:26:55it's right in there. All right. And yeah, do me a favor and and go share that go share that out with the world. All right. Beautiful
508. 1:27:08snap assistance helper. Very cool. All right. Digital gods. Super Brandon. Awesome. Chef Kelly. Chef
509. 1:27:19Kelly. I had a nice talk with Chef Kelly today. By the way, Chef Kelly showed me some stuff that she put together. I
510. 1:27:25called I called her out. She showed me this really nice site she was working on and before she started demoing it, I'm
511. 1:27:30like, "Wait a minute. Did you vibe code this?" She was like, "Yes, I did." I was like, "Yes." [laughter]
512. 1:27:37She didn't need a technical co-founder to uh to do that. And it was, I gotta tell you that I was really impressed
513. 1:27:43with what you put together. That was super cool. Um, you know, again, that's the thing is if you start internalizing what AI makes possible,
514. 1:27:58then you don't you will transform from having to think about the tools to just kind of feeling what's possible. And I know that sounds
515. 1:28:10like woo woo, but I don't know if you heard this, but the the resonance of the earth today is shifting from 7.8 hertz
516. 1:28:20to 78 hertz. There's some weirdass thing going on. And the frequency of the earth is is going up by an order of magnitude.
517. 1:28:30And so if you're feeling blissful today, it's probably because you're in touch with the earth. [laughter] >> [screaming] >> Um,
518. 1:28:45all right. So, here's here's another thing. So, here's what I want you to do. Tomorrow is Halloween. Friday, Friday
519. 1:28:52night, date night. It's Halloween. So, what I want you to do is I want you as part of your daily AI practice, I
520. 1:29:03want you to if you're in midjourney, I want you to go find like a good mood board or make a mood board or go find a
521. 1:29:09style that you like. If you like Nano Banana, go go do some things there. I want you all thinking about Halloween
522. 1:29:16images you could make. Now, here's the deal. I don't want these to just be like, "Oh yeah, make a picture of a zombie like
523. 1:29:25just boring like quick little prompts." I want you to think about create excellence that that sort of second stage. If the first stage of AI
524. 1:29:33readiness is play, that second stage of create excellence, come up with an idea. So it might be a song, it might be a video, it might be a
525. 1:29:43series of images, it might be a mood board that you can share with other people. But tomorrow night, what I want
526. 1:29:48to do is I just want to have a blast making not just Halloween art, but like really kickass Halloween art. All right.
527. 1:29:57So, if you haven't been running down the Halloween rabbit holes, start doing that. And then tomorrow on
528. 1:30:04Friday night date night, we'll have a good a good potty. We'll have a beautiful potty. All right. It's [laughter] Halloween. Kyle must do
529. 1:30:15battle with Dar. Oh my god, Dar the Tik Tok star. How we miss her. [laughter]
530. 1:30:33Okay, tomorrow. Um there's Friday night date night. Tomorrow night should be normal time. Um, at 11:00 a.m. Mountain time is AI office
531. 1:30:47hours. So, how you find that is you go to my LinkedIn profile, Kyle Shannon on LinkedIn, and just go to my events, and
532. 1:30:55you'll see you'll see them in there. It's always the same URL, and that's at 11:00 a.m. Um, it's also posted in the AI Salon
533. 1:31:04now. So, if you go into the AI salon and click on events, you'll see my office hours, the AI salon office hours and
534. 1:31:11meet and greet is in there. So, you can you can get to the link that way. Um and then the other thing, so next Tuesday is
535. 1:31:19um is our AI salon presents and what we're actually presenting is um an articulated version of um this AI as
536. 1:31:36a daily practice um that is ultimately going to make its way into the AI salon mastermind. And so the mastermind right
537. 1:31:44now is just kind of a it's a subscription-based area and there's there's clubs and things in there. We're
538. 1:31:50completely rearchitecting how we're how we're doing the mastermind. What the mastermind is going to become is that's
539. 1:31:56going to be going to be the place where you go to design your daily AI practice. We're going to do it in this structured
540. 1:32:03way. I'm really excited about what we're doing. But we're going to introduce that idea of AI as a practice next Tuesday.
541. 1:32:10And so I'm going to talk about things I do. Um, Liz Miller Gersfeld, my co-host, is going to talk about things she does.
542. 1:32:16It's this is really her her brainchild is this whole idea. Um, so she's going to talk about, you know, what we're
543. 1:32:23doing and how she does it. And then we're going to hear from other people in the community, um, who really do treat a
544. 1:32:29AI like a practice. So, next Tuesday is going to be quite a powerful session, quite a powerful meeting. So, uh, from
545. 1:32:375:00 p.m. to 700 p.m. Mountain time next Tuesday night. So, put it on your calendar and just be there. All right.
546. 1:32:45Um, if you're treating AI like a practice, there may be time at the end for, you know, we're getting some people
547. 1:32:51to agree ahead of time. There might be time for other people to share, but it's going to be super inspiring. Okay. So,
548. 1:32:57tomorrow night, high quality Halloween tomorrow, 11:00 a.m. Come to office hours. You can come in costume, too.
549. 1:33:06That would be cool. [laughter] And then uh and then next Tuesday um we've got the AI salon presents. We're
550. 1:33:14going to talk about this AI's daily practice. All right. [laughter] Brandon's costume is going to be AI generated.
551. 1:33:26I'm gonna I'm gonna go as a as a fat entrepreneur [laughter] with bad hair. Ang Angry Gen X. Yeah, I'm going to call
552. 1:33:38this the Angry Gen Xer. [laughter] Oh, good lord. Good people. All right, cool. Hope you had fun tonight. Maybe
553. 1:33:49learned a little something. Um, Groovy, have a good one. All right, peace out.
