Description

Are you ready for The Great Repurpose? Can you answer the question "What do you want more of?" No, really answer it? The core discussion centers on "The Great Repurpose," a concept addressing the coming societal crisis where AI automates tasks and strips away the self-worth people tie to their jobs. The host argues that society implicitly teaches people to measure their value by their work, leading to potential "rolling ego deaths" as professional tasks become devalued. The crucial first step in repurposing is separating personal identity from job tasks and embracing a new role as a "conductor" who directs AI instruments. Producer Brandon provides an overview of major updates to the AI coding platform Lovable, highlighting new features like Plan Mode, prompt queuing, and automated testing. The host then attempts to use these cutting-edge tools, along with Google’s new Project Genie world builder, to prototype a guided website designed to help users navigate the five phases of rediscovering purpose in an AI-driven world. #TheGreatRepurpose,#AIAutomation,#FutureofWork,#LovableAI,#ProjectGenie,#AIEgoDeath,#TechPhilosophy,#DailyPractice Chapters: 00:00:00 Opening Music Performance 00:03:46 The Great Repurpose 00:07:19 Trumpet Versus Guitar 00:10:06 Discussing Lovable Updates 00:10:56 Gemini and Project Genie 00:15:16 Defining Work Identity 00:17:19 Society Values Work 00:18:19 The Looming Ego Death 00:21:21 We Are the Conductor 00:24:04 Decoupling Tasks and Value 00:28:02 What Do You Want? 00:33:25 Lovable Platform Demo 00:37:21 Automated Testing Features 00:44:11 Google's Recent Success 00:46:31 Frustrating Image Attempts 00:58:57 Starting the Lovable Build 01:17:17 Join the AI Salon 01:28:38 Configuring Site Assessment 01:35:50 Google World Builder Test 01:44:02 Reviewing Website Draft 01:52:12 Closing Thoughts on AI 01:54:06 Events and Wrap Up

0:18 Woohoo!
0:20 [music]
0:32 >> [music]
0:39 >> Is this the place where I can risk my
0:42 forehead
0:44 [music]
0:47 together my [singing] thoughts in sweet
0:51 silence?
0:53 >> [music]
0:56 >> And this is place where the feelings
0:58 [singing]
0:59 are dead.
1:01 [music]
1:04 From an [singing] over exposure to
1:06 violence. Hey producer Brandon.
1:11 [singing] And these are these plates I
1:13 [music] can slowly face. The only one I
1:17 [singing] truly [music] can know.
1:21 These are tears from a [music] long time
1:23 ago.
1:25 Got these tears from a long time ago.
1:28 [singing]
1:29 I made to cry 30 years old. So
1:34 these are tears from a long time.
1:40 No.
1:46 >> [singing]
1:49 >> Well, oh darling, oh darling, you say
1:52 unto me, [singing]
1:55 [music]
1:57 where have you been all my life?
2:01 [singing]
2:04 [music]
2:05 Well, I have [singing] been swimming
2:08 seven sad seas.
2:13 Oh, women [music]
2:14 have tossed me [singing] their lifelines
2:18 when I pull them in to the water [music]
2:21 stock. [singing] I'd have warned them,
2:23 but I didn't know.
2:27 These [music and singing] are tears from
2:29 a long time ago.
2:32 I got these tears from a long time ago.
2:36 I need to cry 30 years [singing] or so.
2:41 These are tears from a long time.
2:49 [music and singing]
2:55 [music]
3:03 [clears throat] Good singing champion.
3:05 Fantastic dog. Got the good dog singing
3:08 going on tonight.
3:11 Apparently his union check cleared,
3:14 right? Singing like a pro tonight.
3:20 [music]
3:30 [music]
3:35 [music]
3:42 Um,
3:45 [music]
3:47 the great repurpose.
3:51 [music]
3:54 I made a Tik Tok video today.
3:58 [laughter]
3:58 First Tik Tok video I've made in I don't
4:01 know, two weeks. I think I made one in
4:03 Washington DC, but that was it.
4:07 H
4:14 I had this breakthrough that [music]
4:17 they really want to hear from me
4:20 and I still don't make Tik Tok videos.
4:23 [music]
4:25 Something to explore there, isn't there?
4:29 [music]
4:35 Part of having a daily practice is just
4:39 [music]
4:45 witnessing your life.
4:51 It's amazing thing about life. You have
4:53 these amazing breakthroughs and [music]
4:59 [music] your habits are still your
5:01 habits.
5:05 Your legacy way of being
5:08 is this instinct just like
5:16 [music]
5:21 we had our today we had our last uh the
5:24 end of a cycle of the AI uh AI salon um
5:29 practice lab
5:31 [music]
5:32 and uh everyone's just talking about,
5:34 you know, their daily practice and where
5:37 [music] it is and what's going on.
5:40 There's a lot of appreciation for being
5:42 a part of that group. If you're not a
5:43 part of that group, it's it's very
5:45 special. It's very uh
5:48 there's some stuff shifting in that in
5:50 that space in those in the people that
5:53 are in that space. There are things
5:55 shifting.
5:56 Um there's awareness is shifting. What
6:00 people do is shifting. how they're
6:02 showing up is shifting.
6:05 And it's also
6:07 everyone's just trying to figure it out.
6:10 And not even the practice lab, not their
6:12 daily practice, just life. Everyone's
6:14 just trying to figure life out, man.
6:19 [music]
6:24 Life is funny, man. Yeah, man. Life is
6:27 funny, man.
6:29 [music]
6:32 Thank you for sharing the Tik Tok live
6:34 there, Source Camp. Maybe we can get to
6:36 double digits.
6:39 [music]
6:45 [music]
6:53 [music]
7:02 >> [music]
7:08 [music]
7:13 [music]
7:20 >> Wonder if I've always been a noise
7:21 maker.
7:25 >> [music]
7:33 >> You know, one of the first things I I
7:35 recognized about playing guitar, I I was
7:37 a trumpet player my whole life.
7:40 I found out Andy was a trumpet player,
7:43 too. But I found this
7:46 [clears throat]
7:49 this old I got all these old pictures of
7:51 my mother and like a letter from her
7:54 varsity thing. But I found this old
7:56 picture of me
7:59 in marching band practice in seventh
8:01 grade,
8:03 [laughter]
8:05 the masked trumpeteer
8:07 from the York York, Pennsylvania
8:10 Chronicle.
8:14 January 1978.
8:16 [laughter]
8:21 Here's the thing about playing trumpet.
8:25 If you are a worldclass virtuoso trumpet
8:28 player,
8:30 [clears throat]
8:31 which I wasn't,
8:35 it still annoys the [ __ ] out of people.
8:38 [laughter]
8:41 Paris is a trumpet player. Nice.
8:44 Nice.
8:46 Cam's bar. Um,
8:49 the thing that I learned about guitar,
8:52 which is a cool thing to learn about
8:54 guitar
8:55 is that even if you're kind of shitty on
8:58 guitar, it's not that annoying. You
9:00 know, if you just learn three chords
9:02 like
9:06 [music]
9:09 It's kind of pleasant, right? If you can
9:12 do a little finger picking,
9:14 [music]
9:19 [music]
9:22 right? Even if you're just plotting
9:25 along, it's not bad. [music]
9:32 >> [music]
9:39 [music]
9:44 [music]
9:53 [music]
9:57 [singing]
9:57 >> I'm here like slow [music]
10:01 from
10:06 I have a five minute deck on lovable
10:09 updates if you want to share
10:12 maybe do you want to share it maybe in a
10:14 bit why don't we have you share that
10:16 brand dome [music]
10:17 we're both lovable ambassadors you can
10:20 we'll give you some camera time tonight
10:22 oh did you Rick's thing was tonight I
10:25 meant to pop in on that oh well um how'd
10:27 that
10:31 Uh that went really well. Uh we had uh
10:35 real estate Bob Donigan on with us
10:38 >> talking about real estate and AI uh also
10:41 uh doing the updates on lovable. So it
10:44 was a action-packed show and all the new
10:47 things that have come to Gemini and
10:49 Google ecosystem in the past 24 hours.
10:52 [music]
10:53 [laughter]
10:55 Is it a lot?
10:57 Uh well, you've got the the agentic
11:01 imaging in nanobanana where it can
11:03 analyze its own images. Uh updated
11:06 chrome in the past 24 hours. You now
11:08 have a browser capability uh agent
11:11 browsing capability and they launched
11:14 project genie to which is their world
11:17 builder to ultra subscribers.
11:19 >> Oh interesting. So the X is good.
11:24 >> Uh from what the trusted testers are
11:28 saying it is mindblowing gamechanging.
11:32 >> Okay. I I'll believe it when I see it.
11:33 But I am an Ultra subscribers. So maybe
11:35 we can go play with that.
11:36 >> You have access to if you go to
11:37 labs.google
11:39 project Genie I think it is.
11:41 >> Okay.
11:43 >> And yeah. So I if you want we I can do
11:46 it now if you want while we're still
11:48 building people. I can call it back up
11:49 later. I've got
11:50 >> Come up there. Let's let it keep
11:52 building up and then Yeah, come up later
11:54 and we'll do the lovable thing and then
11:55 I'll go do the the the
11:57 Project Genie thing because I I I I made
12:01 the call that we're going to see a world
12:02 builder, you know, in 2026 that doesn't
12:05 suck. And it would be nice if there one
12:08 existed. It'd be nice if it happened
12:09 early in the year. [music]
12:11 >> It would be nice if it happened today.
12:13 >> Yeah. All right, cool. Groovy, man.
12:16 [music]
12:22 >> [music]
12:35 [music]
12:35 >> came on [singing]
12:36 him like slow moving cold front.
12:42 His
12:44 bill [singing] was warmer than a look in
12:48 her eye.
12:50 [music]
12:54 She sat on a stool and he said, "What do
12:58 you want?" [music]
13:03 She said, "Give me a [singing] love.
13:06 Love that don't freeze up inside.
13:10 [music]
13:20 >> [music]
13:22 >> Uh, welcome to everyone. If you're new
13:24 here, welcome, welcome, welcome. If
13:26 you're old here,
13:28 what are you thinking? [laughter]
13:31 You know, there's like stuff on Netflix,
13:33 right? There's like a new season of
13:36 shrinking.
13:38 Um, I don't know if that's Netflix. I
13:40 think that's Apple TV. But, you know,
13:41 there's stuff there's there's The Pit
13:44 with Noah Wy coming back into Dr. Garb
13:49 as a producer. Come on.
13:53 So much to do. So little time.
13:57 [laughter]
14:04 What'd you do last night? I spent some
14:06 time contemplating my existence. Yeah.
14:11 Yeah.
14:14 [music]
14:19 [music]
14:26 [music]
14:44 >> [music]
14:59 [music]
15:05 [music]
15:08 >> Um,
15:10 So, let's see how many folks we got in
15:14 here. We got 18 in here.
15:17 Um, if you were here last night, I know
15:19 a lot of you were here last night, we we
15:22 meandered our way to this thing called
15:24 the great repurpose.
15:28 [clears throat]
15:30 Um, which we own the URL for tonight or
15:34 as of last night.
15:37 Um,
15:40 and I started writing an article for the
15:44 AI salon.
15:47 [clears throat]
15:48 Champy must be off tonight. Champy sang
15:50 earlier. Champy was really into it
15:52 earlier. He's he's just a little he's
15:54 he's a union dog, so you know, he puts
15:58 in he puts in his required
16:01 threequarters of a song. Occasionally,
16:04 he'll do two threequarters of a song.
16:07 So, one and a half songs total, but he
16:08 does ask for extra cheese on those
16:11 nights.
16:13 Tik Tok pin. I'm speaking to a group of
16:15 unemployed executive in two weeks. This
16:17 is timely. So, let me share my screen
16:20 for a second here.
16:26 Which one is it? Is it that one? No,
16:30 that one. No. No.
16:34 Is it that one? Yeah.
16:38 I don't know. Maybe I should do the
16:39 other one. Everybody calm down. All
16:42 right, we'll do that one.
16:44 [clears throat and cough]
16:45 So, I don't know if this is the right
16:46 image. I I'm I'm I'm [clears throat]
16:49 halfbaked on the image because it just
16:52 feels like [ __ ] stock photography.
16:55 Um, but the basic idea of the great
16:58 repurpose is that black bar. We live in
17:02 a society
17:05 certainly here in America. I don't think
17:06 this is as true globally
17:10 but you know I would say probably
17:12 heavier in western countries than
17:14 eastern countries
17:19 but certainly in America the prevailing
17:22 question you ask someone when you meet
17:24 them is what do you do?
17:28 And so implicit in that question we we
17:32 don't ask people who are you. We don't
17:34 ask well you might in general these are
17:38 large
17:40 generalities but
17:44 for the most part the social convention
17:47 is what do you do
17:50 and the underlying subtext of that
17:52 question is
17:55 I want to understand what you do so I
17:57 can understand if you're valuable
17:59 right [laughter and clears throat] we
18:01 tie our own personal selfworth Earth to
18:04 the thing we do.
18:06 Um, and we do that society. Now, some
18:10 people there's great separation there.
18:12 They've got clarity on that. Great. But
18:14 there's a lot of people that don't have
18:16 clarity on that. They may not even be
18:17 aware of that.
18:20 And we're entering an era where AI is
18:23 about to strip away
18:27 the tasks that a lot of people do.
18:31 And so the the sort of question
18:35 the question that that this this idea
18:38 poses is what happens to me if the work
18:41 I do stops mattering?
18:46 And so what what struck me last night as
18:48 as we kind of stumbled into this idea,
18:51 what struck me is that we're
18:56 we're we're not even necessarily
18:58 entering a work crisis. We we are likely
19:01 entering a work crisis.
19:04 But even if through some miracle of
19:06 capitalism,
19:10 the the the powers that be didn't just
19:12 lay a bunch of people off because the
19:14 robots could do the job. Let's say
19:15 everyone kept their jobs,
19:18 but the AI took over the tasks of those
19:22 jobs. So if I'm a if I'm a copywriter,
19:25 I keep being a copywriter, whatever that
19:27 means now, but the AI is actually doing
19:29 most of the writing and it's my job to
19:31 manage the AI. So I shift from a writer
19:34 to a supervisor,
19:37 right? Or if it's my job to do a
19:40 business analysis at a big consulting
19:42 company and I don't need to do business
19:45 consulting writing anymore. I don't need
19:47 to do the analysis. I don't need to like
19:49 the machine does all the tasks. So even
19:52 if I keep the job,
19:56 the the tasks that I spent a decade or
19:59 20 or 30 years perfecting are now just
20:03 zoop devalued. [laughter]
20:06 Just done. They're just done in minutes.
20:08 What used to take me three weeks is now
20:09 just done in minutes.
20:13 That's going to that's going to impact
20:14 people's purpose. And so the great
20:17 repurpose is this idea
20:19 that like it or not
20:22 if if in any way you've got your own
20:24 self-worth tied to the work you do, um
20:27 there's a very good chance
20:31 we're all on the brink of suffering a
20:34 series of rolling ego deaths. And and
20:38 that's terrifying, right? because when
20:40 you have large swaths of of humanity
20:43 that lose purpose, that's not that's not
20:46 a good recipe.
20:48 So anyway, so that's that's the the
20:51 article that I'm I'm working on right
20:52 now. Um I'm not super happy with it, but
20:58 cuz here here's the other thing when for
21:01 me when I stumble on an on an idea like
21:03 this that's big, this this is a big
21:05 enough idea like I can see it in all
21:07 sorts of forms. And so articulating it
21:10 is actually really important, but it's
21:12 still very raw and new. So I don't need
21:13 I I don't know what I want it to be yet.
21:17 Um so so but that's what we'll some of
21:19 what we'll work on tonight is that
21:22 we're the conductor. AI is the
21:23 instrument. Yeah, that's exactly right.
21:25 And the thing about a conductor, it's a
21:27 good metaphor. The thing about a
21:28 conductor is
21:30 conductors are amazing musicians, right?
21:34 Conductors understand music theory in a
21:37 in a fundamentally deep way. They can
21:39 listen to
21:41 multiple instruments at the same time.
21:43 They can hear if the third, you know,
21:46 the third chair violin is slightly sharp
21:49 on the on the B string, right? You know,
21:52 in a in an entire symphony of of
21:54 instruments,
21:56 um they can keep time. I think it was
21:59 Henry Mancini
22:01 um didn't wear a watch because he didn't
22:03 need to. I think his his time accuracy
22:06 in a 24-hour period was like somewhere
22:08 in the neighborhood of 1 to two seconds.
22:10 You could ask him what time it was at
22:12 any time of the day and he knew. Um
22:17 so so in the context of music,
22:20 conductors have this mastery
22:23 of
22:25 what it is they want, what it is that's
22:28 in the piece of music, what it is they
22:30 want. They understand that they've got
22:32 this
22:36 this group of performers that have these
22:38 very specialized in instruments
22:42 that can interpret that music in all
22:44 sorts of ways. And it's their job to
22:47 have an idea for how to bring this music
22:50 to life and then
22:53 commit to that and get this group of
22:55 people to play their instruments in a
22:58 way that
23:01 amplifies that vision.
23:07 That's what's going to be required of
23:09 like we all get to be the conductor,
23:10 which on the surface is like great, I
23:13 get to be the conductor. I get to like
23:14 swing the little baton around and point
23:16 at people. Let's bring in the Tonies.
23:19 More cowbell. Right. On the surface,
23:23 it's like, woo.
23:26 And then if you stand in front of that
23:28 symphony and you can't read music and
23:30 you don't know how to do the baton
23:33 thing, you don't know how to count in
23:35 four or three, but this piece is in 716.
23:39 What
23:42 you're just like, I don't know what to
23:44 do here.
23:47 That's kind of AI right now. It's kind
23:49 of like we're all being stuck in front
23:52 of a symphony. A baton stuck in our head
23:54 hand. sheet music laid out in front of
23:56 us and people like, "Okay,
23:59 have at it."
24:01 Uh,
24:05 so the great repurpose is how do you
24:07 make that transition
24:12 first? How do you separate?
24:16 If you're a person who's got your
24:18 self-worth
24:20 married to your work,
24:22 you take great pride in your work and
24:24 like there's there's no shame in taking
24:25 great pride pride in your work,
24:30 but to the degree that it feels like
24:32 it's part of your identity, if if the
24:34 tasks of your work are all of a sudden
24:37 devalued and automated,
24:41 what does that do to your self-worth?
24:43 Right? If those are coupled and this
24:45 part drops off, what does it do to this?
24:49 So I think the first step in the great
24:51 repurposing
24:52 in the great repurpose is to actually
24:56 separate those two things and recognize
24:58 that the tasks you do are not your
25:01 value. How you do those tasks, how you
25:04 think about your those tasks, the
25:05 integrity you have about how you execute
25:09 things, that's the more important stuff.
25:13 And there's there's ways that you work
25:16 that are unique to you that are
25:18 independent of the tasks
25:21 that are super valuable. You've got
25:22 integrity. You've got creativity. You
25:25 you you give a [ __ ]
25:29 There's a give a shittness about you.
25:30 Right? So I think the first step is
25:32 recognizing that those two things are
25:34 distinct. And then the second step is
25:37 saying, okay, what do I have?
25:40 What do I have to offer the world that
25:44 is fed by my experience doing all those
25:47 tasks, is fed by my education, is fed by
25:50 my upbringing, is fed by my passions.
25:55 And then you can start to look
25:56 objectively at at who you are and go,
26:00 "Oh, well, if I've got all of these
26:03 capacities,
26:04 I could do lots of different things. If
26:07 I had the skills,
26:09 I could do lots of different things with
26:11 this who I am thing.
26:15 And now we live in a world because of
26:17 AI. You do have the skills.
26:20 You can make pretty pictures.
26:23 You can make music. You can make words.
26:26 You can do programming. You can do math.
26:30 You can [ __ ] do quantum physics if
26:32 you want to.
26:38 Right? So there's an awareness of
26:39 there's a new kind of tasks possible
26:43 that I have access to that if I can
26:46 separate myself from my old tasks, look
26:48 at who I am. Now look at what's possible
26:52 with these new task machines
26:57 and go, "Wow,
27:00 I could conduct any kind of music I
27:02 wanted up here. I could replace
27:06 the violin section with a synthesizer
27:08 section and I could replace the standup
27:12 bases with electric bases and I'm going
27:14 to have a [ __ ] rock and roll
27:15 symphony,
27:17 right?
27:19 Like we get to do whatever. But then
27:22 that then becomes now becomes
27:25 those three pieces. Separating yourself
27:27 from the tasks is piece one.
27:29 Understanding who you are, who the core
27:31 of you is, what your values are, what
27:33 you bring to the party is kind of step
27:36 two. Step three is playing with AI
27:39 enough to understand, holy [ __ ] there's
27:42 new stuff possible. And it doesn't need
27:44 to be more specific than that. It just
27:46 needs to be like you need to get that
27:48 inside you that, oh my god, I could
27:50 probably do anything.
27:52 And with those three sort of stages,
27:56 you now enter the hard part.
28:03 The hard part is the re part in
28:07 repurpose. You had purpose.
28:10 Your tasks were taken away. Now
28:13 [clears throat] you don't know anymore
28:15 what your purpose is.
28:18 The repurpose is now that you understand
28:21 a bit about who you are, a bit about
28:22 what's possible,
28:25 asking the profoundly simple and
28:28 [clears throat] profoundly hard
28:30 question, what do you want more of?
28:35 What do you want to do? What do you
28:37 want? What do you want?
28:44 That's a deep one, man. You've got to
28:46 sit. You've got to sit with
28:50 all the versions of you
28:55 to really understand even the question.
29:02 And you know, maybe that little voice in
29:04 your head goes, you know, I want to
29:06 dance.
29:07 Okay, go [ __ ] dance. Go take a class.
29:13 Maybe it's like, I've always wanted to
29:14 start a restaurant. I've always wanted
29:16 to start a whatever company something.
29:20 I just want to create. I want to tell
29:22 stories.
29:25 I want to change people's lives. I want
29:26 to help people that are suffering.
29:28 Great. F like find that thing because
29:31 once you find that thing,
29:35 then everything else is execution. And
29:38 we now live in a world where you get to
29:40 execute on an incredibly high level
29:44 without having to spend 10 years
29:47 figuring out how to do it.
29:50 It's insane.
29:51 I'm sitting cross-legged on the floor
29:53 surrounded by cool toys.
29:56 All I have to do is choose one or 10.
29:58 Yeah. Yeah. Exactly.
30:05 So anyway, so that's the great
30:06 repurpose, right? on one side is this
30:11 we we we live in a society
30:15 where that that idea of work as purpose
30:19 [snorts] is celebrated
30:22 certainly celebrated with entrepreneurs
30:24 if you're an entrepreneur you know the
30:27 the the the self-worth and the and and
30:30 tying it to work I think is even more
30:32 insidious because it's like I had this
30:34 idea and I'm you know go do this thing.
30:39 [snorts]
30:40 But it's but it's something that's
30:41 celebrated in our society. And so what
30:44 the [ __ ] are we all supposed to do if
30:47 the tasks of that work is is devalued
30:51 over a fiveyear period or a three-year
30:52 period is probably more realistic
30:55 kind of from now for the next three
30:57 years as these tools like I feel like
30:59 we've entered the the uh ups slope of
31:03 the exponential curve like we've been
31:05 going relatively linear at this point.
31:08 It's accelerating a little bit but I
31:09 feel like we're hitting the you know
31:11 we're heading vertical. So, this year is
31:13 going to be a trip and we all we're all
31:16 all gonna get to experience. Okay. All
31:18 right. Okay.
31:21 And whether you like it or not,
31:24 you know, you're going to be separated
31:26 from
31:28 from your value if those two if those
31:31 things are tightly coupled. So, anyway,
31:33 that's uh that's what we're exploring.
31:36 And and what I thought might be fun
31:38 tonight is to I'm going to get Brandon
31:41 up here to talk about some of the new
31:42 stuff that's in lovable.
31:45 Um,
31:47 but we've got a domain,
31:49 the great repurpose.com,
31:52 and we can go build a website. And I
31:54 don't want to just build a website to
31:56 explain the great repurpose. I want to
31:58 build a website that lets human beings
32:00 go in there and have tools to go through
32:05 these stages. Here's how to separate
32:07 yourself from the value of the work you
32:10 do. Here's how to understand who you
32:11 are. Here's how to understand what's
32:13 possible with AI. Here are some
32:15 exercises for you to
32:19 connect with who you are, right?
32:23 Why not have a tool
32:26 and why not see if we can build that in
32:28 a night
32:30 now
32:33 a version of that tool that's actually
32:36 good and solid and usable that's not
32:38 going to be built in a night even though
32:40 the tool can the you know the AI can
32:42 build it
32:44 like really thinking about what should
32:46 that be what could that be right that
32:47 gets back to some sort of purpose like
32:50 is does the great repurpose have a
32:52 purpose Right?
32:54 What are we trying to do here people?
32:59 And [clears throat] that's a bigger
33:00 question. So, but anyway, but we can
33:01 prototype some [ __ ] tonight, you know.
33:08 H
33:22 >> [laughter]
33:22 >> Heck yeah. Let's build cool stuff.
33:25 [snorts] Um, Brandon, why don't you hop
33:27 up here and tell us about uh show us
33:30 your your Lovable deck.
33:33 >> Yeah. So, for those of you who don't
33:35 know, I Kyle and I are both Lovable
33:37 ambassadors and Lovable had a major
33:43 update that released yesterday and we
33:46 were talking about it over on my
33:48 spin-off show AI TV Starship and uh with
33:51 Rick and I wanted to have a
33:56 presentation, but I didn't have time to
33:57 make a presentation. So, what I did was
33:59 I took their blog post [laughter]
34:04 That's great.
34:06 >> I took their blog post and threw it into
34:10 Gemini and opened up the canvas and
34:13 said, "Can you do this in Google
34:14 Slides?" And four minutes later, I had
34:17 this presentation.
34:18 >> Wow.
34:18 >> Uh so they're calling it a 71%
34:21 improvement in solving complex tasks,
34:24 just like Google. I assume that's made
34:27 up based on some statistic that they
34:29 pegged once.
34:31 But you talked about the evolution of
34:33 building and that I've been working with
34:34 lovable for over a year now and it
34:36 really rang true to me that the old way
34:38 of constantly reviewing every small
34:40 change, spending hours in back and forth
34:42 communication, micromanaging the AI to
34:44 stay on task. We've seen that a lot even
34:47 in your builds, Kyle, where we talk
34:49 about
34:50 >> change the color and it just completely
34:52 borks the app.
34:53 >> Exactly. very new model of doing it.
34:57 Yeah. Is an autonomous execution of
35:00 complex visions. So hand off the big
35:02 picture and trust the process focusing
35:04 on growth where the details are hand
35:06 handled. So it's not to borrow the
35:09 conductor and the orchestra. It's not
35:10 about knowing how to play the instrument
35:13 anymore. It's really being that
35:16 orchestral layer and that conductor
35:18 inside of the ecosystem.
35:20 >> You know, it's funny. It's funny,
35:21 Brandon. That's a really good way to to
35:23 think about it is that
35:26 part of what we've experienced in this
35:28 channel is, you know, it was kind of
35:30 like when AI first started, it was like,
35:32 oh, now you can play the violin and the
35:34 viola and the timony and right, you can
35:36 play all the different things and okay,
35:39 now I'm going to go play all the
35:40 different things. And then like
35:41 something like lovable comes along and
35:43 you can it sort of will splat out some
35:46 music, but then you're like, "No, no,
35:47 no. the violins. Let me go in and play
35:49 the violin here and fix those corners.
35:51 That's that's a fascinating shift.
35:54 >> Yeah. So, what the big one is that
35:56 they've done is introducing plan mode,
35:58 which is the next level up from their
36:00 chat mode. So, V1 lovable, you could
36:03 just type a prompt and it would go off
36:06 and execute code. Then they introduced
36:07 chat interface where you could chat
36:09 about the changes and then make them.
36:12 Now it's got a plan mode where you can
36:14 jump um and map out full features in
36:17 detail ask and it actually asks you
36:21 clarifying questions to fully understand
36:23 your requirements before just going off
36:25 and assuming and building is ask you for
36:28 clarification which is a really
36:29 important middle step
36:31 >> because sometimes it gets it right and
36:33 sometimes it gets it wrong and then it
36:35 creates a comprehensive blueprint for
36:37 you to approve and uh review and approve
36:40 before it goes off and builts.
36:42 H
36:42 >> have you played with it yet?
36:45 >> Uh I I don't have it live in my instance
36:47 yet. I'm waiting for an update. I'm It
36:50 should be coming soon. Um
36:53 something else that's coming up is
36:55 prompt queuing. Very excited about this
36:57 one. Ideas don't wait, as they say. Cue
37:00 up multiple prompts and let lovable
37:02 handle them in the background so you can
37:05 reorder them on the fly.
37:07 >> So you don't have to sit there and wait
37:08 for it to turn out a prompt. it just
37:10 wait for it to, you know, do its thing.
37:13 You can just ceue up multiple prompts
37:15 and then collaborate without
37:16 bottlenecks. So you keep feeding it
37:18 instructions without waiting for the
37:20 current test to finish.
37:21 >> That's that's actually huge for ADHD
37:24 mind because you know when
37:29 when when something like lovable starts
37:31 executing decently well, I have ideas
37:34 about the smallest things and the
37:36 biggest things at the same time. And
37:38 what I find is like I'll get excited
37:40 about a small thing and then I run down
37:41 that rabbit hole and like an hour later
37:43 I'm still working on the small thing and
37:45 I I didn't I even forget what the big
37:47 idea I had was. You know what I mean?
37:49 It's like so like if you sort of dump
37:52 those things in there and then be able
37:53 to go look at them that's really cool.
37:56 >> This is one was my favorite one out of
37:58 the announcements. Automated testing uh
38:01 allowing to ship with competence. So it
38:03 does its own QA. It tests your app like
38:06 a real user. So it will actually go
38:07 through and fill out the forms, click
38:09 the menus and verify the flows behind
38:11 the scenes and if it finds a bug or an
38:14 edge case, it investigates it and fixes
38:15 it automatically. So when it comes back
38:18 to you and says, "Hey, I'm done." Your
38:20 view is production ready work, not
38:22 broken drafts.
38:24 >> Amazing.
38:25 >> And I, by the way, can can we just
38:27 appreciate that image that Gemini
38:29 created for that?
38:31 >> That's pretty cool.
38:31 >> The line of code with the robotic hand
38:34 behind it wrapped around it. It's pretty
38:36 good.
38:38 >> Uh, they are also doing some other
38:39 things like Google signin and
38:41 >> wait,
38:44 what's your name? Brandon. Producer
38:45 Brandon. [laughter]
38:47 >> Yes.
38:48 >> Steo. Steo has a question. I have no
38:51 idea what lovable is or does.
38:54 >> Ah, well, Steo, you've come to the right
38:57 place.
38:57 >> Exactly.
38:59 >> Lovable is a vibe. coding.
39:02 >> We'll play you'll see it tonight, but
39:04 but yeah, but go ahead.
39:05 >> So, Lovable is a vibe coding platform
39:07 and vibe coding is an interesting uh
39:10 thing because it started out as kind of
39:12 the joke of the programming space be
39:15 like, "Oh, you're going to you're going
39:16 to go vibe code that. You're going to go
39:18 prompt in English." Haha. Microsoft just
39:21 put out a new job posting today. And one
39:24 of the uh skills required is some
39:28 experience with rapid prototyping in a
39:29 vibe coding environment.
39:31 >> Yeah.
39:31 >> So they're starting to look for this as
39:34 a skill.
39:35 >> Well, also folks like Andre Andre
39:38 Karpathy is now I think he's like like
39:41 90% of his code is you know is is not
39:44 written by him anymore. Like he's
39:46 shifted modes.
39:49 Um, so yeah.
39:50 >> So it's building building web apps and
39:52 building exper web experiences without
39:54 knowing how to code.
39:55 >> Yeah.
39:56 >> And some of the big frustrations were
40:00 not the big ideas. Like even the early
40:03 versions of Lovable and other sites like
40:05 it made it fairly easy to spin up a
40:09 vanilla brochure site or anformational
40:11 site. But once you started to try to
40:13 integrate AI or a database or something
40:17 as even as simple as a Google signin, it
40:20 ended up being really challenging
40:21 because you had to go register a Google
40:24 Cloud account and figure that out. So
40:26 now they've taken all of that away and
40:29 put that in a way that signal it. Yeah.
40:32 >> In one prompt. Yeah. So now with just
40:35 one prompt, you can just tell lovable
40:38 build in the Google O and it'll just do
40:40 it. So it if you ever have anything in
40:43 lovable that you need to have
40:44 authentication, you can just ask uh
40:47 Lovable to give you uh Google uh single
40:50 sign on. I'll tell you, one of my
40:52 favorite things that Lovable does that I
40:54 I haven't seen anyone else do it this
40:56 well is um do domain um like DNS
41:01 assigning like you know when you you
41:02 build a website and then you have to
41:04 point a thing and you have to go like
41:06 Google the thing about how do I
41:08 >> do DNS mapping in in GoDaddy or whatever
41:12 and with lovable you you literally give
41:15 it the URL. It goes and figures out who
41:18 your registar is and it says do you want
41:20 me to do that for you and you're like
41:22 yes and then you basically just give it
41:24 permission to to you know change the DNS
41:27 for that domain and it goes and does it
41:29 and then you know within whatever it is
41:32 three minutes you have a site at that
41:33 domain. It's insane.
41:36 >> I uh I love uh Source Camp. Yes. I might
41:39 not actually have to use my brain
41:40 anymore.
41:41 >> Yeah, exactly.
41:42 >> And Silver Fox how much how much does it
41:44 cost? Yeah. So, they let they do have a
41:47 free version. You get a handful of
41:49 prompts a day and no lovable crads,
41:52 but if you um want to pay to play, uh
41:56 you get uh they start at $25 a month, I
42:00 believe, is now the going rate, but you
42:02 get more prompts than you could ever
42:04 need. And you also get storage credit
42:07 and AI credit with that. So, it's a
42:09 really good value. And one of the things
42:12 that they did that I really like is
42:14 they've built an integration into chat
42:16 GPT. So if you are working with ChatGpt
42:20 on a uh PRD or a product um I forgot
42:25 what PRD exactly stands for. U
42:27 >> requirements document.
42:29 >> Yeah, requirements document. Thank you.
42:31 Um, and uh, you can tag atlovable and
42:37 it'll link to a love your lovable
42:39 environment once you've set up a
42:41 connector and then it'll just build it.
42:42 So you don't have to copy and paste it
42:44 out of chat GPT into a lovable
42:46 environment.
42:46 >> Oh, that's cool.
42:49 >> And so I've just any e-commerce
42:52 platforms. It does. It goes into into
42:55 Shopify.
42:55 >> Shopify.
42:56 >> Yep.
42:57 >> Yep.
42:58 And so there this is log in to lovable
43:00 to experience the new autonomous
43:02 feature. So yeah, that's as uh as Vicki
43:04 said, I channeled my inner Jim Ross and
43:06 made that uh presentation on the fly
43:09 with just a single URL given to Gemini.
43:13 >> That's great. That's awesome. Um Pate
43:16 M's in the house. What's happening, Pate
43:17 Mod? I got to tell you, P this channel
43:21 is unrecognizable to you because all we
43:23 do is talk nice things about Gemini and
43:25 Google anymore. There's no more hating.
43:28 We're no more just like like, you know,
43:32 I I've I I've given up my uh my my love
43:35 affair with Sam. Like, he was he was
43:37 jealous. He He was right. We shouldn't
43:39 have been together. It's all Gemini now.
43:43 [laughter]
43:44 >> I I dropped my uh Lovable referral uh
43:47 link in the YouTube comments if anybody
43:49 wants is anybody feels inspired and
43:51 wants to jump on the Lovable train. If
43:53 you have any questions about Lovable,
43:54 please feel free to reach out to me. uh
43:56 DM me in the salon uh or drop me a line.
43:59 I'm more than happy to chat with you if
44:01 you have questions about the lovable
44:03 experience.
44:04 >> Yep. Beautiful. Beautiful. Beautiful.
44:06 Beautiful. All right. Um I think I think
44:09 I'm going to not not play around with
44:12 writing this article because I think
44:13 that's boring. But let's go. Oh, I'll
44:17 show you something really frustrating.
44:22 So to make this image,
44:26 this image, I photoshopped it and
44:29 brightened it up and [ __ ] like that. But
44:31 so I went to chat GPT
44:36 and
44:39 had it write a creative brief. And
44:41 basically what I wanted was something
44:42 where like old work was on the left and
44:45 some new enlightened thing was on the
44:47 right. And so it started out with just a
44:49 dude standing in front of a sunrise or
44:52 whatever that is. And then I was like,
44:55 "No, have have it be split in half and
44:58 it's like business on the like a mullet.
45:00 It's business on the left and
45:02 enlightenment on the right." And it did
45:04 this cheesy thing where he's now a
45:06 painter. Paint M. I was It was just a
45:08 matter of time for Google stuff like
45:11 I've been saying for a while. No, but
45:13 you were right. You were right. And
45:15 listen, my my, you know, my my beef was
45:19 always like, you know, prove it. Start
45:21 launching stuff that's that's, you know,
45:23 that lives up to your potential. And
45:26 honest to God, man, the last six months,
45:28 Google just kicking ass. Kicking ass.
45:32 Um, so then I said, "No, split it. Have
45:36 it be the person sort of split down the
45:38 center." And then it did this sort of
45:40 like white dude. And I'm like, "No, make
45:41 it a woman." That was sort of okay, but
45:44 kind of weird. And then it did this,
45:45 which was was sort of right.
45:48 And I was like, "Oh, that's kind of
45:50 cool." And then I said, "Instead of the
45:52 mountains on the left, let's let's put
45:54 cubicles there." And then I and then I
45:57 thought, "Maybe instead of her just
45:58 standing still, she should be stepping
46:01 into the future."
46:04 And and then it did this. But the
46:08 problem is her left leg, which is the
46:11 one that's supposed to be in business
46:12 side, is the one that's in the future.
46:15 And her right leg is back in business
46:16 land. And so I tried for
46:21 I don't know, [ __ ] a dozen times. I I
46:25 had it look at it, look at look at the
46:27 image and prompt itself for how to fix
46:29 this. It literally could not fix this.
46:32 Actually, let's go try to have Gemini.
46:34 We'll see if Nano Banana can fix this.
46:36 So, let's see. All right, let's go to
46:38 Nano Banana. [clears throat]
46:42 So, we're going to go to uh I'll go to
46:44 AI Studio.
46:46 AI Studio.com
46:51 AI Studio.google.com.
46:56 And then in here,
47:00 [clears throat]
47:03 oops, that's not what I wanted to do.
47:09 That's what I wanted to do. Select the
47:11 key.
47:15 All right. So, I'm going to do aspect
47:17 ratio 16 by9.
47:20 I'm going to do 2K resolution. Then I'm
47:22 going to upload
47:27 this
47:29 where her left leg is forward in the
47:32 picture and her right leg is backward. I
47:35 want to flip them.
47:38 So, we'll see if Nano Banana can gro
47:41 this image. So, I'm going to say in this
47:45 image, her left
47:48 leg is
47:50 forward
47:53 into the
47:55 enlightened
47:58 future and her right leg
48:03 is in the past, in the
48:07 dark gray past.
48:10 I want those
48:13 reversed
48:16 where
48:18 the let's see where the new image has
48:22 her right
48:25 leg stepping forward
48:31 and her left leg
48:37 in the dark
48:39 gray past. All right, paint modder, this
48:43 is all on you, buddy. I'm gonna I'm
48:46 gonna I'm gonna spin up some TPU cycles
48:48 here. Let's see what we get. This is If
48:52 this doesn't work, it's cuz Pate M's
48:55 code
48:57 was not agreeable to this request. I'm
49:00 not [clears throat] saying it's on
49:01 purpose, Pate. I'm not I'm not saying
49:04 that you're purposefully
49:06 torpedoing my artistic expression.
49:10 >> [laughter]
49:14 >> Ah, right and left is weird. I know. But
49:18 in this case, she's No, it still didn't
49:20 do it. Still didn't do it.
49:23 [clears throat and cough]
49:25 It's like there's a weird part where it
49:27 almost looks like her right leg is
49:29 forward, but it's like Yeah. It's just
49:30 not It's just
49:33 It's not good. It ain't right. It ain't
49:35 right.
49:36 All right. I got nothing. I got nothing.
49:39 I got nothing. [laughter] It's Pay M's
49:41 fault. Paint did it. Pay ruined my life.
49:49 Oh man. All right, let's get out of
49:52 here. Let's go back to chat jpai.
49:55 I think I'm just going to bail and use
49:57 that image.
49:59 No, wait. Do I want to do I want to do
50:01 that or do I want to like completely
50:03 rethink?
50:05 I'm gonna say,
50:08 give me five new
50:13 five entirely
50:16 new concepts
50:20 that
50:22 can bring
50:27 the
50:32 great repurposed
50:35 to life
50:40 that represent
50:43 the meta more
50:47 fossis
50:50 from [clears throat] work
50:53 equals selfworth
50:57 to
50:59 um
51:01 a new
51:05 human centric
51:08 repurposing.
51:10 All right, let's see.
51:13 Let's see what it comes up with. Try
51:16 editing the image to show the prompt
51:19 with arrows on the image. Oh, that's not
51:20 a bad idea.
51:26 [clears throat]
51:28 But I could also just come up with a
51:29 better image. The name tag dissolve.
51:32 A chest level closeup of a torso wearing
51:34 a lanyard name badge that says something
51:37 like title roll function. The badge
51:39 disintegrating into quiet particles. Eh,
51:43 that's not very human. The cubicle maze
51:45 becomes map. No.
51:48 The resume is cocoon. The time card
51:50 turns into compass. Okay. Okay. Um,
51:53 these are all shitty
51:57 because none of them are about human
52:03 beings.
52:05 I know you are a robot and all
52:10 [laughter]
52:12 and all,
52:14 but come on, man.
52:17 Come on, man. Let's tap into the power
52:23 of humanity.
52:27 [laughter]
52:28 Come on, man. When you get a chance,
52:31 talk to your LLM like you're the dude.
52:35 [laughter]
52:37 H. Use this in a new chat. Change the
52:40 subject's left foot to be the leading
52:43 foot of her gate.
52:48 I tried that so many times.
52:51 Let's see. Where's my Gemini window? Do
52:53 I have it? I don't even have it. I got
52:55 rid of it, didn't I? Oh, is this it?
52:57 Yeah, this is it.
52:59 Change
53:01 the subject's
53:06 left foot
53:09 to be the leading foot.
53:14 No.
53:16 left foot. No, it's it's changed changed
53:18 the subject's right foot.
53:20 [clears throat]
53:22 Right foot
53:25 to be
53:27 the leading foot
53:30 of the gate.
53:33 I don't think it's going to work.
53:36 I got I got no confidence. None.
53:39 Let's see what chat GPT did. Fair. I
53:41 drifted into clever design metaphors and
53:44 forgot the whole point. This is about a
53:46 human moment.
53:49 The unclench.
53:51 Uhoh. Where's this one going? The
53:53 physical release. When your worth stops
53:56 being tethered to output. Hero image.
53:58 Tight frame on a person's hands. One
54:00 hand is white knuckling a phone lanyard
54:03 badge.
54:05 On the right side, same person, same
54:07 hands. The group listens, fingers open,
54:09 palm relaxed.
54:12 It's not horrible. Two faces in one
54:14 face. The work mask with real self.
54:19 The chair doesn't own you anymore.
54:25 Eh,
54:27 the honest bathroom mirror moment. What?
54:30 It shows a private reckoning we avoid.
54:33 If I'm not my job, then what?
54:36 I like that.
54:39 The walk into yourself. Purpose
54:41 rediscovered through motion, not
54:42 revelation. Wide shot of a person
54:44 walking behind them. A blurred crowd
54:48 heading the opposite direction.
54:51 The default life ahead open space. It's
54:54 not nature porn. It's psychological
54:56 space.
54:58 Eh.
55:00 Um,
55:01 let's see number four.
55:05 Let's go back to this thing and Oh,
55:10 close.
55:12 She She doesn't have shoes on and her
55:16 her right leg her right leg looks a
55:19 little stunted.
55:21 [laughter]
55:21 She She looks a little unstable. She's
55:24 got like a club foot on the left and a
55:26 little dainty ballerina foot on the
55:28 right. [laughter]
55:31 But it sort of works. Like I don't mind
55:33 her being barefooted.
55:35 All right, so that's not bad. So, let's
55:37 just go um
55:41 extend her
55:44 bare
55:46 foot
55:49 farther forward
55:52 as if she is confidently
56:00 stepping into the future.
56:07 >> [sighs and gasps]
56:08 >> I think you need to discuss her arm too.
56:11 Which one?
56:14 This club. This club thing over here.
56:21 Her arm. So it's natural. You don't
56:23 think it floating up in space like that?
56:26 Her right arm. You don't think it
56:27 floating up in space like that is good?
56:30 [laughter]
56:32 She She's just took an acting.
56:35 [laughter]
56:38 Now, this is the AI we we're used to.
56:41 Yes. Her third leg.
56:45 See her old? This is her old leg. She's
56:48 shedding her old walking style. And
56:50 she's sprouted a new leg because of AI.
56:55 [laughter]
56:56 This is the AI that we've been waiting
56:58 for.
57:00 >> [laughter]
57:04 >> Oh, lordy. All right, we're gonna we're
57:07 just going to bail on that. Okay, let's
57:10 see. What do I want?
57:14 Choices in a fogged mirror. No, it
57:16 shouldn't.
57:20 It shouldn't be the same.
57:28 Should it? No,
57:33 I'm going to say, shouldn't
57:35 the guy in the mirror
57:42 be the free
57:45 version of him that isn't in the stupid
57:53 flipping office slash prison?
57:58 >> [laughter]
58:01 >> Let's Let's see what what chat GPT comes
58:03 up with here.
58:06 [clears throat and cough]
58:16 Lol. I was live 30 minutes ago doing
58:18 exactly what you're doing. Trying to get
58:20 something to do something resembling
58:22 what you [ __ ] want.
58:24 >> [laughter]
58:24 >> No wonder you stopped going live. It's
58:27 [ __ ] maddening, isn't it? [snorts]
58:30 [clears throat]
58:32 Best one to do tiny edits with Gemini.
58:36 Each one a new chat though. Yeah, I
58:38 know. I just my my my challenge with
58:43 with doing it on the live is like to
58:45 really do the work it takes you like you
58:48 it's just not fun to watch
58:51 because it's tedium.
58:57 And I I think I'd like to go build
58:59 something in lovable, but let's see.
59:00 Let's see what this comes up with. Let's
59:02 see.
59:12 Why
59:14 does the future
59:18 look like
59:22 a guy in a prison?
59:26 Gym. Gym.
59:29 Shouldn't the future
59:34 be colorful
59:37 and free
59:41 and in contrast
59:43 to the gray
59:46 life he currently
59:50 leads.
59:53 [clears throat]
59:57 Joy party Kyle, you're doing great. I
59:58 love watching this. [laughter]
1:00:01 One one of my favorite ch channels is
1:00:03 this tick tocker tick tocker that tries
1:00:06 to accomplish things night after night
1:00:08 after night after night. He never gets
1:00:11 there. You know what this channel is?
1:00:13 What I just what I just realized, Joy?
1:00:16 This show is like one of those ghost
1:00:18 hunting shows, right? [laughter] Where
1:00:21 it's like you watch it for [ __ ] 10
1:00:23 seasons. They never find a ghost. Their
1:00:26 machines glitch, but there's never a
1:00:29 [ __ ] ghost.
1:00:31 That's what this channel is. Eventually,
1:00:34 Kyle's going to make something useful.
1:00:35 It's not yet, but man, is he he's so
1:00:37 close.
1:00:39 [laughter]
1:00:42 Wait, what was that? What was that? Did
1:00:45 you hear that? Okay, I'm totally freaked
1:00:48 out now. I don't feel I can't breathe. I
1:00:50 can't breathe. I can't breathe.
1:00:52 [laughter]
1:00:58 There's that one Ghost Hunter shows like
1:00:59 I with the guy I call him Meatthead. I
1:01:01 forget his name, but he's like this
1:01:03 really worked out dude. He's like,
1:01:04 "We're going we're going to go screw
1:01:06 with that ghost. They're not going to
1:01:07 screw me up. [laughter] Just touch me.
1:01:14 Ghosts are more elusive than the end of
1:01:17 Kyle's sentences." Exactly.
1:01:20 [laughter]
1:01:22 I I'm I'm confident this week Kyle's
1:01:24 gonna finish a sentence.
1:01:27 So close.
1:01:30 Oh, good lord. Oh, make the image.
1:01:36 You stupid thing.
1:01:39 Lol. I wish I was as energetic and funny
1:01:42 as you were during my live. Well, it it
1:01:45 takes a particular kind of personality
1:01:47 to to be the town fool. Ghost
1:01:51 Adventures. Yeah, those paranormal shows
1:01:54 are my guilty pleasure. I know. Same.
1:01:57 Like I love those shows because it's
1:01:59 just like I actually I actually had
1:02:01 written when when uh I think it was
1:02:04 right when COVID was happening.
1:02:07 I had an idea for a scripted show that
1:02:10 looked like an unscripted show. So the
1:02:13 basic idea was you record two people
1:02:17 having web chats and then like every
1:02:19 night they're just chatting with one
1:02:20 another. So it's like a half hour show
1:02:24 and then like six episodes in something
1:02:28 like in the background of of you know
1:02:30 one of the people moves and and the
1:02:33 other person doesn't see it and then the
1:02:35 next show like two things move but the
1:02:37 person does see it. So that was that was
1:02:40 something I was going to do.
1:02:44 Boy, it really just doesn't understand
1:02:46 the idea of colorful, does it?
1:02:48 [laughter] It's just [ __ ] whatever. I
1:02:52 mean, that's at least that's at least
1:02:54 sort of in the neighborhood of I don't
1:02:57 know. It's awful. It's [ __ ] awful.
1:02:59 Okay. Um, let's go back out to
1:03:03 So, here's our project, the Great
1:03:05 Repurpose project. So, we've got our
1:03:06 initial chat
1:03:08 that has [clears throat and cough]
1:03:11 the creative brief in it and the
1:03:13 business brief in it.
1:03:17 Um,
1:03:21 so let's go up here and do a new chat.
1:03:23 We'll do put this in auto mode.
1:03:29 Deep research create image.
1:03:34 Okay.
1:03:36 Um,
1:03:40 give me a list of the phases
1:03:46 a person goes through
1:03:50 in the great
1:03:56 repurpose
1:04:00 um process. question mark.
1:04:07 All right, here's a clean human readable
1:04:13 unexamined unexamined alignment. Work
1:04:16 equals value is accepted and then task
1:04:19 check. Wait, what? That part of me just
1:04:22 got automated. Existential. Wait, no.
1:04:25 [clears throat] Oh, decoupling.
1:04:38 Uh
1:04:40 um okay. This is
1:04:45 not bad, but
1:04:49 it's
1:04:52 too much. Let's see.
1:04:56 Let's go with this.
1:05:02 one.
1:05:09 Um,
1:05:14 explore.
1:05:17 Let's see. Let's see. Um,
1:05:20 separate
1:05:23 value of skills
1:05:28 slash
1:05:30 tasks from your
1:05:34 value
1:05:37 experience
1:05:39 attributes
1:05:44 soft skills.
1:05:48 etc. I think that's one. Two is
1:05:53 [clears throat]
1:05:55 explore
1:05:58 the kinds of things you might
1:06:11 I think that comes later. Wait, let's
1:06:13 see. Maybe not. So, what are the kinds
1:06:15 of things you might
1:06:19 be good at if the tasks of your
1:06:25 current work are automated
1:06:29 with AI
1:06:32 three [snorts]
1:06:37 explore or
1:06:48 slashplay with AI tools
1:06:53 to to
1:06:55 personally
1:06:57 understand
1:06:59 the
1:07:01 new um kinds of things that are
1:07:05 possible.
1:07:07 >> [gasps]
1:07:08 [sighs]
1:07:10 >> four. Um,
1:07:13 understand
1:07:14 you,
1:07:16 your values,
1:07:20 who you care about,
1:07:25 um, the [clears throat]
1:07:27 kinds of things you enjoy. Oh, well,
1:07:31 let's see. Wait, explain the kinds of
1:07:32 things. Um, understand
1:07:37 what you are good at
1:07:40 versus what you love
1:07:44 and
1:07:46 don't like doing etc. Okay. Understand
1:07:51 your you your values what you care about
1:07:53 the kinds of things
1:07:57 um
1:07:59 you are passionate
1:08:03 about.
1:08:04 And then five,
1:08:07 design.
1:08:09 Discover your new purpose,
1:08:16 knowing that
1:08:20 you can use AI to
1:08:26 amplify
1:08:28 your ideas and get you
1:08:33 uh and allow you
1:08:36 [snorts]
1:08:38 to accomplish lish anything you believe
1:08:43 in.
1:08:46 Um
1:08:49 I think
1:08:52 these are the phases.
1:08:56 um help me clarify them
1:09:03 and how each phase
1:09:07 might be explored by a person. Okay.
1:09:13 [clears throat and cough]
1:09:14 Sometimes you just got to tell Chat GBT
1:09:16 what you want instead of slamming your
1:09:20 face against a brick wall trying to get
1:09:22 it to understand.
1:09:26 Um
1:09:28 what's in your head?
1:09:30 Uh uh uh uh
1:09:36 I'll watch Ghosts after the London are
1:09:37 old mode.
1:09:41 Paint drying. Yeah, this channel is like
1:09:44 paint drying. Absolutely.
1:09:47 [laughter] You you should you should not
1:09:49 be here.
1:09:52 If this is horrible. Um I I would
1:09:54 encourage you to go. [laughter]
1:09:59 Okay. The great repurpose five human
1:10:02 phases. Separate value from tasks.
1:10:06 Intent. Detach your worth from the tasks
1:10:08 you perform. What's really happening?
1:10:09 People have quietly conflated It's not
1:10:13 they haven't quietly conflated. God damn
1:10:15 it.
1:10:18 [sighs]
1:10:21 It's It's almost like it it hasn't
1:10:23 looked at anything we've written before.
1:10:25 Okay, I'm going to yell at it. I'm going
1:10:27 to say um it's as if you're not looking
1:10:34 at all the things we talked about that
1:10:39 are part
1:10:42 of this project.
1:10:45 Um
1:10:53 include things like
1:10:58 We live in society
1:11:02 that values
1:11:05 people based on what they do.
1:11:14 Connect
1:11:16 these phases.
1:11:22 Okay, I'll do that in a second. Brandon,
1:11:24 connect these phases um
1:11:28 to the work we've already done. You
1:11:33 ninny.
1:11:34 Always tell your chat GBT it's a ninny
1:11:37 if it's acting like a ninny. Fair. I
1:11:39 deserve the ninny
1:11:41 [laughter]
1:11:45 [gasps]
1:11:46 [groaning]
1:11:49 [sighs]
1:11:53 decouple human the core truth. We live
1:11:55 in a society that okay
1:11:58 remap capability beyond current work.
1:12:00 Most people have mistaken their job for
1:12:03 the full expression of what they're
1:12:04 capable on.
1:12:06 what you're good at, what you enjoy,
1:12:07 what trains you, you've been rewarded.
1:12:14 This is starting to feel exhausting to
1:12:16 me.
1:12:17 Um, okay. Um, so, so here's here's a Tik
1:12:21 Tok pin. I didn't see that. What's going
1:12:23 on? What was the Tik Tok pin?
1:12:26 Frostbitten. get it to ask you questions
1:12:28 to help
1:12:30 clarify
1:12:34 what you're wanting
1:12:36 and looking for. Yeah, I think that's
1:12:39 good.
1:12:40 Um,
1:12:50 I want you to write me
1:12:55 a software is it software spec
1:13:05 for a website that explains contains
1:13:12 the great
1:13:16 repurpose
1:13:19 and
1:13:28 queries a user
1:13:32 to
1:13:34 how did you put that? [clears throat]
1:13:36 created my first predictive model today.
1:13:39 That's pretty cool.
1:13:42 Where was that question? Let's see.
1:13:45 [clears throat]
1:13:55 Get to ask you questions that help you
1:13:59 clarify to
1:14:03 clarify
1:14:05 how
1:14:07 bound their self-worth
1:14:11 is to their
1:14:14 job slashwork
1:14:19 and leads them
1:14:22 to
1:14:25 and let's see and guides them
1:14:30 forward through these phases. is
1:14:36 I'm just going to go dump something into
1:14:38 lovable and see what it does. Got it.
1:14:41 This is a meta prompt you'll hand to a
1:14:43 web AI system. Right. That's what I
1:14:46 asked for. Thank you for Thank you for
1:14:49 clarifying exactly what I told you.
1:14:51 Maybe you could make a prompt that
1:14:53 doesn't suck. What do you think? You're
1:14:55 an interactive website and gu Wait. You
1:14:58 are an interactive website and guided
1:15:00 experience for the great repurpose and
1:15:02 initiative design. Okay. The experience
1:15:04 is not just about job loss. Explain it.
1:15:07 The experience structure
1:15:11 guided progression.
1:15:19 I need
1:15:21 you to include
1:15:24 the copy
1:15:27 or at least the outline
1:15:32 for the informational
1:15:37 part of the site. The
1:15:41 interactive part
1:15:44 should be a frame toward the top of the
1:15:49 page
1:15:51 that
1:15:54 jumps a user into
1:15:59 the exploration.
1:16:01 But
1:16:03 they should uh let's see but
1:16:07 a user
1:16:09 should
1:16:12 be able to read about the great
1:16:17 [snorts] repurpose
1:16:20 without
1:16:22 taking the test.
1:16:26 [clears throat]
1:16:27 I'm just laying in bed listening to the
1:16:30 show [laughter] like it's 90s radio.
1:16:32 Sometimes Kyle is much better if you
1:16:34 don't watch the screen. [laughter]
1:16:40 Yes, many people have used me in lie of
1:16:43 sleep medicine. Apparently my voice is
1:16:45 really good for just knocking you right
1:16:47 the [ __ ] out. [laughter]
1:16:51 Oh, okay. Listen. So, while that's while
1:16:54 that's writing our thing, I want to I
1:16:56 want to jump over here and show you
1:16:57 something. So, if you're not part of Can
1:17:00 I save this as a draft? I think so.
1:17:02 Saved. Yeah.
1:17:04 Okay. Uh, do you want to save without Do
1:17:08 you want to leave without saving?
1:17:10 Cancel. No, I want to save.
1:17:12 [clears throat]
1:17:13 Save draft. There we go. Okay. Um, so
1:17:17 here I am. I'm over at this uh site
1:17:21 called the AI Salon. So the AI salon we
1:17:24 created uh was was launched the week
1:17:27 chat GPT came out and if you're not
1:17:29 aware of it, it's a community of about
1:17:31 4,000 AI optimists and we hang out here
1:17:36 and we hang out uh this is our mighty
1:17:38 network site. So if you go to
1:17:39 community.thesalon.ai
1:17:43 it will take you right here. Um, and
1:17:46 there's all sorts of things you can
1:17:47 introduce yourself. You can learn about
1:17:49 what we're about. Um, the cycle of AI
1:17:51 readiness. Um, which is is sort of the
1:17:54 philosophy, the sort of mission of the
1:17:56 site is play first, explore AI, then
1:17:59 create excellence is use what you learn
1:18:01 when you explore to build amazing stuff.
1:18:04 And then generously lead is about
1:18:06 learning out loud. And this is a
1:18:07 community that's really amazingly
1:18:09 generous no matter where you are on your
1:18:12 journey. even if it's just like I got to
1:18:14 figure this AI [ __ ] out. It's it's a
1:18:17 remarkably
1:18:19 welcoming and generous community. Um,
1:18:22 and there's events. So, the first thing
1:18:24 you see is there's an event section.
1:18:26 There's a community feed where you can
1:18:28 post anything work you're doing, connect
1:18:30 with other members of the of the
1:18:32 community. There's a chat. Um, there's a
1:18:36 play area where you can experiment. And
1:18:38 the AI learning lab, this this channel,
1:18:40 actually, we have our own channel in
1:18:41 here. Um, and then in learn and grow,
1:18:44 there's all sorts of cool things. Uh,
1:18:47 there's a business guild and and AI for
1:18:50 all minds that Gareth put together.
1:18:52 There's the AI salon mastermind practice
1:18:54 lab. So, there's all sorts of stuff to
1:18:56 do here. If you're trying to figure this
1:18:58 stuff out, if you're trying to, you
1:19:01 know, go through this great repurpose
1:19:02 where you're like, "Holy [ __ ] my job's
1:19:04 changing. What am I supposed to do?" Um,
1:19:07 we're all trying to figure that out.
1:19:10 That's what this community is about.
1:19:11 It's about a human centric
1:19:15 uh point of view with accepting that AI
1:19:19 is not going anywhere, right? It doesn't
1:19:22 mean we're just love AI no matter what.
1:19:25 But what it does mean is we accept that
1:19:27 it's not going away. And if it's not
1:19:29 going away, what the [ __ ] are we
1:19:31 supposed to do?
1:19:35 We don't know. None of us know. If
1:19:37 anyone tells you they know, they're
1:19:38 lying because we don't know what's
1:19:41 coming. But I but I do know that 2026 is
1:19:44 going to be the year where we start to
1:19:46 experience things where we're just like,
1:19:47 "Oh [ __ ] we can't ignore this anymore."
1:19:49 So if you can't ignore it anymore, then
1:19:51 what do you do? What you do is you get
1:19:52 your ass in community and you start to
1:19:54 hang out with people that are trying to
1:19:55 figure this out.
1:19:58 So that's that. So please go join uh the
1:20:02 uh the AI salon community.
1:20:05 AI. Okay. Prompt. The great repurpose
1:20:08 informational and website and guided
1:20:10 exploration. You're designing a website
1:20:13 for this
1:20:17 hero section.
1:20:23 [sighs and clears throat]
1:20:29 [clears throat]
1:20:39 interactive mode.
1:20:43 This is really frustrating
1:20:46 how shitty chat GPT is at at actually
1:20:49 connecting all this. I wonder if I went
1:20:50 to Notebook LM and just started putting
1:20:53 this content in Notebook LM. I bet it
1:20:55 would do better because this just sucks.
1:20:58 Um, let me go I'm gonna go get to
1:21:00 business.
1:21:12 Okay,
1:21:14 let's see.
1:21:21 So, here's the business brief. So, we're
1:21:22 going to copy this. We're going to go
1:21:24 back out here. We're going to go in
1:21:26 here.
1:21:44 Wait,
1:21:47 deprecating for the day before
1:21:50 Valentine's Day. Oh, wow. That sucks.
1:22:01 Okay. Um,
1:22:04 you
1:22:06 are ignoring
1:22:09 the good work we did
1:22:13 early on
1:22:16 in the business
1:22:19 and creative briefs.
1:22:26 So, hang on a second. Uh, uh, I'm going
1:22:30 to go here. I go Oops. Go here and go
1:22:35 paste.
1:22:37 All right, that's all that
1:22:41 here. Um,
1:22:44 here.
1:22:46 Uh, let's see.
1:23:06 Why am I losing strategic business
1:23:09 insights? Oh, it moved that to the top.
1:23:11 I see what it did. Okay.
1:23:14 Good lord.
1:23:18 [clears throat]
1:23:20 This the creative brief. Okay. Copy. We
1:23:23 go over here and we're going to paste
1:23:25 that.
1:23:31 Copy all this.
1:23:33 We're going to go back here
1:23:37 and go in here and say, "Okay, you're
1:23:40 ignoring the good work we did early on
1:23:41 in the business and creative briefs.
1:23:43 Here they are.
1:23:52 Please incorporate
1:24:01 these
1:24:03 foundational
1:24:05 concepts
1:24:06 into the website copy.
1:24:14 again. Don't be a ninny. [laughter]
1:24:21 Point taken. No more ninny behavior.
1:24:24 You're absolutely right. The website
1:24:26 copy needs to explicitly embody the
1:24:29 whatever
1:24:31 [sighs]
1:24:32 hero section. Okay, this looks like it's
1:24:34 got something here at least. Okay, so
1:24:39 now we're going to take this all and
1:24:40 we're going to drop this into
1:24:47 >> [sighs]
1:24:51 >> Thank you for the flying panda, whoever
1:24:53 sent that. That was cool.
1:25:00 Panda AI sent a panda. Oh, it's Gareth.
1:25:04 [laughter]
1:25:04 Thank you, Gareth.
1:25:08 Very sweet of you. Okay,
1:25:12 the great repurpose hero section. Okay,
1:25:14 here we go. You're absolutely right.
1:25:16 Below is about.
1:25:21 This is near final website copy.
1:25:25 You could publish this with light
1:25:27 editing. Could I?
1:25:32 Okay, so we need
1:25:47 All right. Whatever. All right. We're
1:25:50 going to copy this
1:25:53 and go back over here. I'm going to
1:25:55 paste it.
1:25:58 So, that's kind of the copy.
1:26:01 And then we're going to go over here and
1:26:03 we're going to get the prompt that it
1:26:04 wrote for the site.
1:26:12 [clears throat]
1:26:16 I know I'm being a bad host and not
1:26:18 really explaining what I'm doing, but
1:26:20 I'm just trying to get chatbt not to
1:26:22 suck
1:26:24 and it's not doing great.
1:26:28 Okay,
1:26:30 roll and go. you are designing a website
1:26:32 for. Okay, here's this. So, now let's
1:26:34 grab this is the prompt.
1:26:42 Okay, copy. Let's go back to this thing.
1:26:46 Say we'll throw this at the beginning of
1:26:48 this.
1:27:00 web. Let's see. Um,
1:27:04 copy.
1:27:07 Let's see. Web
1:27:09 copy
1:27:12 framework below.
1:27:15 I'm going to take all this. Copy that.
1:27:17 We're going to go to lovable. We're
1:27:19 going to try to build this [ __ ]
1:27:22 lovable.dev.
1:27:24 [clears throat] So, Steo, if you're
1:27:26 still here,
1:27:27 we're going to go to lovable.dev. that
1:27:30 says, "Kyle, do you have a good idea?"
1:27:31 Yeah, I have a good idea. I have a damn
1:27:33 good idea. We're going to flip into
1:27:36 builder advocate mode.
1:27:38 And I'm just going to paste all that
1:27:40 crap in there. So, here's our big
1:27:41 longass prompt from Chat GPT. That's a
1:27:44 combination of a prompt
1:27:47 and uh a
1:27:50 whatever you call it. I've got plan
1:27:52 mode, Brandon, in lovable.
1:27:56 That's good, right?
1:28:01 plan.
1:28:09 Hello.
1:28:12 Oh, turn plan on. Go. Hit go. So, it's a
1:28:15 toggle. Got it. It looked like an actual
1:28:21 button, but it wasn't.
1:28:26 I just used Lovable the other day to
1:28:28 help create secure OOTH login page of an
1:28:32 admin do dashboard. That's cool. That's
1:28:35 awesome. Okay,
1:28:38 questions. So, we're using plan mode.
1:28:41 This is pretty sweet. We'll see what
1:28:43 this is like now.
1:28:50 Um, how do you envision site? Minimal
1:28:52 and restrained, warm and human, bold and
1:28:55 direct. I go we'll go warm and human
1:29:00 for the interactive ex exploration. How
1:29:02 should it work? Reflective questions one
1:29:04 at a time. Guided self assessment.
1:29:07 Multiple choice or sliders. Phrase by
1:29:10 phrase. Oh, phase by phase walk through.
1:29:14 I think guided self assessment. Should
1:29:16 the site save the user's progress?
1:29:21 Save exploration progress.
1:29:23 How should we approach the initial
1:29:25 build? Start with theformational site.
1:29:27 Build everything together. We should
1:29:29 start with theformational site, but
1:29:32 we've got ADHD and immediate
1:29:34 gratification syndrome, so we're going
1:29:36 to build everything together.
1:29:38 [laughter]
1:29:39 Submit.
1:29:44 Oh my god,
1:29:46 friends. I do this laughing. I do this
1:29:49 every night. multitasking. I'm still
1:29:51 catching up on double speed. That's
1:29:53 hilarious.
1:29:55 Future of food. I have a 65page report
1:29:57 on the LinkedIn algorithm. I was
1:29:59 thinking about uploading the the as the
1:30:02 knowledge base and making a LinkedIn
1:30:05 content campaign planner. Yes. No. Yes,
1:30:07 Chef Kelly. That's a really good idea.
1:30:10 How deep should the self assessment be?
1:30:16 Um,
1:30:24 I'm gonna say,
1:30:26 can we give the user the option
1:30:32 for
1:30:34 short and sweet?
1:30:39 called for short and sweet,
1:30:43 medium
1:30:45 or thorough.
1:30:53 Oh, no. Let's do this. We'll say start
1:30:56 with short and sweet.
1:31:03 Give them a nice visual assessment.
1:31:09 and ask if they want to dig deeper.
1:31:16 So, they can actually
1:31:20 do something
1:31:22 about it and uh uh [groaning]
1:31:29 find their new purpose.
1:31:41 Yeah, that's a that's a really good I I
1:31:43 think that's really good. Chef Kelly
1:31:46 Panda, my boss just told me
1:31:49 today my app is going out to hospitals.
1:31:52 Wow. All over the something. Hang on.
1:31:55 God damn it, Tik Tok. Give me Let me hit
1:31:58 the button. Fix this [ __ ] button. Um
1:32:02 all over Washington.
1:32:06 this interface all over Washington with
1:32:09 more coming. That's super cool.
1:32:10 Congrats, man. That's very cool. Okay.
1:32:13 What should the user receive after
1:32:15 completing the exploration? A phase
1:32:18 identification phase plus personal
1:32:19 insights. A a visual journey map showing
1:32:23 where they are across the five phase.
1:32:25 Now, let's see. Phase no.
1:32:30 Um,
1:32:44 [clears throat]
1:32:47 I'm not sure.
1:32:50 I'm going to skip all
1:32:53 [sighs]
1:32:56 that's all built with AI. Super cool
1:33:00 plan.
1:33:02 All right. One thing I will say,
1:33:04 Brandon, about this new smarter lovable
1:33:06 is it is less immediate gratification-y
1:33:10 if I've got to do all this planning. And
1:33:12 it also looks like it just crashed.
1:33:14 [laughter]
1:33:16 That's bad.
1:33:19 Uh, Panda, I work in a hospital. What's
1:33:22 your app for? Oh, that's cool. Yeah,
1:33:24 talk to each other.
1:33:26 71%.
1:33:27 Not 100%.
1:33:29 [clears throat and laughter]
1:33:31 Yeah, it it just crashed. Uh oh, wait,
1:33:33 did it? What's [clears throat] it doing?
1:33:37 Oh, here we go. The great repurpose
1:33:40 implementation plan overview. Here we
1:33:42 go.
1:33:44 All right. I'm just going to say yes.
1:33:45 Yes, I approve. Go build this thing.
1:33:48 [laughter]
1:33:52 All right. So, it's off. Is it starting
1:33:55 to write files? Yeah, look. It's writing
1:33:57 files, man. It did this quick.
1:34:01 How's it writing this stuff so fast?
1:34:08 Tests.
1:34:10 Plan. [snorts] Here's the plan. Wow,
1:34:13 this is cool.
1:34:14 Enable the cloud. Yes, we're going to
1:34:16 enable the cloud.
1:34:37 getting ready. Thinking longer.
1:34:43 Lovable cloud is now enabled. I'll set
1:34:45 up the design system.
1:34:49 [snorts] build worm design system.
1:34:57 All right, that's off doing its thing.
1:34:59 So, we'll come back to that.
1:35:02 Um,
1:35:04 who's got questions, thoughts, thoughts,
1:35:07 thoughts, thoughts.
1:35:09 You mentioned, uh, oh, what did I
1:35:11 mention?
1:35:13 Oh, Google G the the Google 3D thing,
1:35:16 the world builder thing.
1:35:20 Project Genie. Okay. So, I go to uh
1:35:22 where do I go? I go to what the [ __ ]
1:35:24 it called?
1:35:27 Uh,
1:35:28 labs. That's it. labs.google.com.
1:35:33 Not pomelli. We don't want pomelli.
1:35:47 labs.prog Google. Okay. So, learn more
1:35:53 and then I got to log in here, right?
1:36:01 How do I log in? Explore now.
1:36:06 Oh, okay. I'm in ultra only right now.
1:36:09 Yeah. So, but I'm an ultra member.
1:36:15 Okay. Black bar.
1:36:20 I need to build an app for soccer news.
1:36:23 Which AI should I use? If you're doing
1:36:25 soccer news, absolutely. Um, lovable.dev
1:36:29 will will totally do that up. You just
1:36:30 tell it you want soccer news. I would
1:36:32 tell it to go find uh unless you've got
1:36:36 specific API access to soccer news, you
1:36:39 could tell it to go grab RSS feeds of
1:36:41 soccer news. Um and it should do it
1:36:45 pretty pretty old good.
1:36:48 All right, so this is
1:36:51 environment.
1:36:53 Okay, we we want um a a rat's eye
1:37:01 view of a New York City alley
1:37:07 in a
1:37:10 grungy cartoon style.
1:37:14 The character
1:37:17 is going to be POV of of
1:37:23 character. Let's see. Character.
1:37:25 Describe your character. Is it a person?
1:37:28 Character is a a hip
1:37:33 um
1:37:36 jazz musician
1:37:39 rat.
1:37:40 [laughter]
1:37:43 All right.
1:37:44 Oh, do we want to go third person or
1:37:46 first person?
1:37:49 I think we want to wait. Is it third
1:37:51 person? Yeah, we'll go third person so
1:37:55 we can see the rat.
1:37:57 Create sketch.
1:38:02 So this just to to me right now, this is
1:38:06 just looking like the the World Labs
1:38:09 World Labs has been doing this thing
1:38:11 where they project an image onto a
1:38:13 sphere for I don't know two years now,
1:38:15 two and a half years now. I'm hoping
1:38:17 that this allows you to stitch these
1:38:19 worlds together to make like an actual
1:38:21 ongoing world.
1:38:24 All right, that's kind of cool.
1:38:27 Can I modify your sketch optional?
1:38:33 Uh, he should be older, rattier,
1:38:40 and look and and play the saxophone.
1:38:45 >> [laughter]
1:38:47 >> Just a thought. What if the great
1:38:49 repurpose went profession by profession?
1:38:53 Oh, that's an interesting idea
1:38:57 to open some new ideas.
1:39:01 That's really good. Mary,
1:39:05 that's really good.
1:39:12 Yeah. Like maybe the maybe the site is
1:39:16 more like what do you currently do?
1:39:23 Why is he so big?
1:39:26 Um let's see. Modify your sketch. Um the
1:39:29 rat in proportion
1:39:34 to the world should be much smaller.
1:39:39 The world should be exaggerated
1:39:45 and large
1:39:49 rather
1:39:54 than the rat being
1:39:57 human sized.
1:40:01 [sighs and gasps]
1:40:01 Ratatouille
1:40:04 count sounds interesting,
1:40:08 but yeah. What if the what if the uh the
1:40:11 great repurpose website started with
1:40:13 what's your current job
1:40:17 and then based on your current job?
1:40:19 Maybe what you do is you say maybe the
1:40:22 inquiry is like what's your current job?
1:40:24 What are your responsibilities? Things
1:40:26 like that. But then what's stuff that
1:40:27 you like outside of this? Yeah, that's
1:40:29 kind of cool. All right, that's good.
1:40:31 That looks good. Third person. Create
1:40:34 the world.
1:40:37 [clears throat]
1:40:38 Use WD to move through your world. Once
1:40:41 you enter, every session can be saved.
1:40:44 So, you can look around. You can look
1:40:47 around with.
1:40:59 All right. How? Okay. This is cool.
1:41:07 It's a little janky. It's a little slow,
1:41:10 but let's see how far we can go. Let's
1:41:12 see if we hit the edge of the world or
1:41:14 if we just keep going.
1:41:23 Um,
1:41:24 it looks like we're keeping going,
1:41:28 which if we are, I am
1:41:31 impressed.
1:41:33 Did you hear that paint modd?
1:41:36 I'm impressed. We haven't hit the edge
1:41:38 of the world yet.
1:41:44 You get 60 seconds.
1:41:47 Oh, yeah. I'm almost out of time.
1:41:53 Uh,
1:41:56 thanks for exploring.
1:42:02 Huh.
1:42:08 All right.
1:42:10 This is the first
1:42:20 This is the first of these that I've
1:42:22 ever seen.
1:42:27 That is actually
1:42:32 This is building a world
1:42:35 with physics, some level of physics.
1:42:41 Is it Is it going to let me Can I go
1:42:43 into places?
1:42:53 I can jump.
1:43:01 So, this is definitely stitching those
1:43:03 spheres together or it's creating an
1:43:05 actual 3D world. I think we hit the edge
1:43:06 of the world.
1:43:08 No. Did we? Yeah, we did. Okay.
1:43:13 Okay. So, basically, so basically, it
1:43:16 looks like what they're doing is they're
1:43:18 making a world big enough that you can
1:43:20 walk slowly through 60 seconds of it
1:43:22 before hitting the end.
1:43:25 That's pretty slick. That is pretty
1:43:26 slick. Some wild examples over on X and
1:43:30 photos, too. All right. Cool.
1:43:34 That's really cool. How did you get it
1:43:36 so fast? Uh I'm I'm paying actually AI
1:43:40 Salon is paying for an ultra
1:43:42 subscription uh for Google for for video
1:43:45 generation and uh and things like this
1:43:48 access to this. So um I have access to
1:43:52 it because I pay a ridiculous amount of
1:43:56 money per month for the amount of time I
1:43:58 use it. Um all right, let's go back to
1:44:02 Lovable and see if we have a website.
1:44:07 We do. Why is it
1:44:10 boring?
1:44:14 Connected to lovable cloud.
1:44:17 Um, this is
1:44:20 boring as sin.
1:44:24 Um, can you please um
1:44:30 liven this up with
1:44:35 design
1:44:37 interactivity
1:44:40 and imagery?
1:44:46 [sighs and gasps] All right, let's go
1:44:47 look at what it's actually built and see
1:44:49 if the content's any good. The great
1:44:51 repurpose reaim who you are in a
1:44:53 posttask world. No, it's not a posttask
1:44:57 world.
1:45:00 Something has changed and you're not
1:45:02 imagining it. We live in a society that
1:45:04 has quietly trained people to measure
1:45:05 their value through work. Not just
1:45:09 income, but usefulness, contribution,
1:45:11 and meaning. Work has been the primary
1:45:14 interface. The result isn't just a
1:45:16 disruption to jobs. Yeah, this is just
1:45:18 not usable.
1:45:20 Something has changed. How How do we do
1:45:23 the assessment? Begin the exploration.
1:45:29 Takes about 12 minutes. Begin the
1:45:31 exploration. How often do you feel your
1:45:34 value as a person is tied to your
1:45:36 productivity? I will go four.
1:45:40 When someone asks who are you,
1:45:44 how central is your job or profession to
1:45:46 your answer? usually the first thing I
1:45:48 mention.
1:45:50 It's one of several things I mention. It
1:45:51 is usually the first thing I mention now
1:45:53 that I think about it. When you hear
1:45:55 that AI can now do tasks you used to do,
1:45:57 what's your honest first reaction?
1:46:01 Oh. Oh, that's a cool image.
1:46:08 We'll we'll let it go rebuild itself.
1:46:11 Um, how are we doing time? Oh, it's
1:46:13 getting late. Okay.
1:46:16 >> [clears throat]
1:46:36 >> See you, Stea.
1:46:45 All right. What's this thing doing? Is
1:46:46 it redesigning? Are we done? What are we
1:46:49 doing? I like that image that it made.
1:46:53 Oh, it's generating images. They're
1:46:56 good.
1:47:00 That was kind of cool. I mean, it's very
1:47:02 stock photoy.
1:47:07 I'll dramatically liven this up with
1:47:09 bold gradients.
1:47:11 All right. Yeah, you go do you go do you
1:47:14 lovable?
1:47:16 All right, we'll come back to this.
1:47:19 Close
1:47:22 back to home.
1:47:45 Yeah, this is good. I mean, it's not
1:47:47 good, but it's like it at least has some
1:47:50 structure to it.
1:48:05 Do you know lovable is going on a
1:48:06 t-shirt?
1:48:08 I was promised I would get a lovable
1:48:10 swag pack and I've never gotten it yet
1:48:12 because the uh the woman that promised
1:48:14 me that no longer works there. Hey, hey,
1:48:17 Brandon, maybe you could reach out to
1:48:20 the the lovable folks and see if you can
1:48:22 get us some swag [ __ ] I never got mine
1:48:25 either. All right, let's let's harass
1:48:27 them. Hey, lovable, give us our [ __ ]
1:48:30 [laughter]
1:48:35 All right. What is this thing doing now?
1:48:37 Is it still working? Edited. Okay. It's
1:48:40 editing pages.
1:48:43 Let me update the landing page with rich
1:48:45 animations, the images, and interactive
1:48:48 elements. Great. Fantastic.
1:48:51 You do that.
1:48:55 [clears throat]
1:48:58 We want swag. Exactly.
1:49:01 All right. The great repurpose. It looks
1:49:03 like it put something in the background
1:49:05 here. Did it? Oh, yeah. Look, it's got
1:49:08 images in the background.
1:49:12 It's a little better.
1:49:14 It's not great
1:49:17 where you fit.
1:49:34 It's [sighs] not horrible,
1:49:37 is it? Begin the exploration.
1:49:52 How clearly can you distinguish between
1:49:54 what you're good at and what you
1:49:56 actually love doing?
1:49:59 Two. No, for me it's four.
1:50:03 In your current work, what's the balance
1:50:05 between the activities that energize you
1:50:07 and more draining than energizing?
1:50:10 How much hands-on experience do you have
1:50:12 using AI tools? I've experimented
1:50:15 briefly.
1:50:17 When you think about AI's capabilities,
1:50:19 do you feel more fear or more
1:50:21 possibility?
1:50:23 I'll go. Well, we well, I'll play
1:50:25 someone who's scared.
1:50:28 How clear are you about what you truly
1:50:30 care about independent of what you
1:50:32 you're paid or praised for?
1:50:38 Oh, it just changed the interface here.
1:50:41 It's better.
1:50:43 Um,
1:50:45 where do you find the most meaning in
1:50:46 your life? Creative expression or making
1:50:49 things. Oops, it's got a bug.
1:50:53 How much do you feel you're moving
1:50:55 toward a purpose that feels genuinely
1:50:58 yours? That's there.
1:51:01 11 of 12. We'll just answer
1:51:06 and then we'll go searching and that
1:51:08 should be it, right?
1:51:12 You may be at the threshold of a
1:51:14 hands-on exploration.
1:51:16 Phase one.
1:51:19 Yeah, this is not bad,
1:51:27 huh? Okay. Well,
1:51:31 livened up the UI with visuals. There's
1:51:34 no way to get back to.
1:51:36 Save your results. Oh, you create an
1:51:39 account after you do that. I like that.
1:51:42 Return home.
1:51:47 Start the exploration.
1:51:51 Begin the exploration.
1:51:56 If I already took it, it should remember
1:51:57 what I did. Damn it.
1:52:05 All right. It's broken. It's done.
1:52:07 broke.
1:52:14 I mean, listen, at least it didn't make
1:52:16 it pink and purple. [laughter]
1:52:20 All right, I'm going to get out of here.
1:52:21 Um,
1:52:26 it is fascinating um
1:52:30 how easy it is to just blow two hours
1:52:33 doing nothing. [laughter]
1:52:36 I mean, even though we did something
1:52:38 here, like like one of my
1:52:43 I had a litmus test early on that if if
1:52:47 a large language model could write an a
1:52:51 rap that is sophisticated as Eminem
1:52:55 wrote his raps about quantum mechanics,
1:52:58 then we we will have hit a threshold.
1:53:00 And it took two years for that to
1:53:03 happen. It was it was the
1:53:06 um there was a creative writing update
1:53:08 to chat GPT4
1:53:11 in November of 23 I think it was where
1:53:14 it did it finally did that might have
1:53:17 even been 24 I think it might have was
1:53:18 it 23 November 23
1:53:21 and then I think my new one is can it
1:53:25 actually write a site like this where
1:53:27 the where the copy doesn't suck
1:53:30 and and to be fair like I I haven't
1:53:33 tried this in Gemini. I haven't tried
1:53:34 this in Claude. Like I I I only tried
1:53:37 this in Chat GPT writing the brief that
1:53:40 I then stuck in Lovable. So like even
1:53:43 starting this in Lovable as a as a more
1:53:46 raw prompt might be might be an
1:53:48 interesting thing. But that's the the
1:53:50 the problem is we're still at the phase
1:53:53 with AI where if you want to do real
1:53:55 work, it still requires a lot of our
1:53:57 attention.
1:53:59 And I don't think it's going to be that
1:54:03 much longer where that's the case, but
1:54:05 we'll see.
1:54:07 All right, tomorrow's Friday. So,
1:54:08 tomorrow at 11:00 a.m. Mountain time,
1:54:10 I've got AI office hours. If you haven't
1:54:12 come to one of those, just go to my go
1:54:14 to LinkedIn and look up at Kyle Shannon
1:54:16 and you'll see my events from the past.
1:54:18 It's the same URL we've been using for
1:54:20 three years. So, join us on that. Um,
1:54:24 and then tomorrow night's Friday night
1:54:25 date night. tomorrow, uh, Daisy Thomas
1:54:28 and myself at
1:54:31 noon or is No, it's 11:30 a.m. Mountain
1:54:33 time. Hang on a sec.
1:54:37 Uh,
1:54:44 it's at 12:30 Mountain time. So, at 11
1:54:49 Mountain Time is office hours, and then
1:54:51 at 12:30 Mountain time is Daisy Thomas
1:54:54 and I doing um a recap of our DC trip.
1:54:59 And then Saturday is an LOL, a learn out
1:55:03 loud featuring, is that the Corey
1:55:05 Sandler one, Brandon? Yeah, Corey
1:55:08 Sandler. Um Corey's going to show you,
1:55:10 she's going to do some deep dives down
1:55:12 creative rabbit holes. Uh, if you've not
1:55:14 seen how Corey works with AI, it that's
1:55:17 a an LOL you want to attend. So, if you
1:55:20 go to community.thesalon.ai,
1:55:22 click on events and you'll be able to
1:55:25 see I think office hours is in there. I
1:55:28 think Daisy Thomas and my political
1:55:30 event is in there. And then I think the
1:55:34 um the LOL on Saturday is in there. And
1:55:37 then next Tuesday um we have an AI salon
1:55:40 presents. And so come to that. bring a
1:55:42 friend. All right, so there's lots to do
1:55:47 in just in the next
1:55:50 four days. There's really cool stuff to
1:55:52 do. All right, so I hope this was of
1:55:55 some value tonight. Um,
1:56:00 this idea of the great repurpose I'm
1:56:02 really excited about. My challenge with
1:56:04 it right now is I don't quite have it in
1:56:06 my head what it is. And so
1:56:10 chat GPT is losing it's like losing the
1:56:13 the core of the idea as I'm trying to do
1:56:16 all these different things. So
1:56:19 I don't know how to deal with that. So
1:56:21 I'm a little frustrated right now
1:56:24 because AI is sucking. And yes, please
1:56:27 go join the AI salon. All right.
1:56:30 Fantastic.
1:56:31 All right, everyone. Um, thanks for
1:56:34 hanging out tonight and I will see you
1:56:35 tomorrow. Bye.
1:56:39 >> [clears throat]
