0:54 everybody my name is Kyle
0:57 Shannon and this is a a special live
1:01 stream so I've been thinking a lot as
1:05 you can imagine I spent a lot of time
1:07 talking about
1:10 Ai and as AI gets more and more capable
1:16 one of the things I'm experiencing is an
1:18 intensification of fear and anger Fear
1:23 and Loathing Fear and Loathing of
1:26 AI you know like uh like uh like this
1:30 this Fear and Loathing of AI it is weird
1:34 it's
1:36 scary
1:40 and I've I've I think I've cracked a
1:44 code I think I think I've cracked
1:46 something here and so I'm really excited
1:48 about it so if you're here feel free to
1:50 leave comments I can see your comments
1:53 um and and I'll I I'll be free to
1:55 address them but I really just want to
1:56 record this thing so um okay here we go
2:00 let me jump in and um and just walk you
2:04 through what I've come up with
2:08 here
2:09 okay
2:11 so let's start with you you as an
2:14 individual here's
2:16 you you
2:19 exist um and I'm gonna take
2:22 relationships out of this for a moment
2:24 I'm just gonna I'm just going to talk
2:25 about you as an individual and and you
2:28 know kind of what makes you up what
2:30 makes you
2:31 tick and I'm going to dramatically
2:34 simplify it there's going to be two
2:35 components of you so just go with me
2:38 here the first component of you is your
2:42 self-expression like what drives you
2:46 what what makes you happy what's your
2:48 what's in your soul that you want to get
2:49 out in the world right the other half of
2:52 you is the half of you that generates
2:55 Prosperity the work things like that if
2:59 you're an incredibly lucky human those
3:02 two things come together and you get to
3:04 do them at the same time most people
3:06 that's not the case right you have your
3:08 day job why do they call it a day job
3:10 because at night you go do the things
3:11 that make you happy right um I think we
3:14 all strive you know toward this right we
3:17 all have dreams we want to be a singer
3:19 we want to be a dancer we want to be a
3:21 pizza shop owner whatever it may be we
3:23 may strive to have this all be the same
3:26 thing but the human condition is you
3:28 know these are often split but but these
3:30 are very very important components of
3:35 who we are right and Along Comes This
3:38 Thing Called Ai and it's been around for
3:42 decades but all of a sudden in the past
3:44 two or three years people are talking
3:46 about it more chat GPT comes along and
3:50 all of a sudden it it seems much easier
3:52 to use and over the next two years so
3:55 chat GPT came out in the end of November
3:58 in 2022
4:00 just passed the end of November in 2024
4:02 so it's it's been around for about two
4:04 years it is getting dramatically better
4:08 the the amount of progress over those
4:10 two years has been quite dramatic
4:13 and the capability of these tools in the
4:16 next three to six months uh is just
4:20 going to get scary good scary good and
4:23 so if you're sitting on the on the
4:25 sidelines with this stuff uh one of the
4:28 things that we see a lot lot or that I
4:31 see a lot is this fear bang that AI as
4:36 it gets better as it can do creative
4:39 work that it's going to replace your
4:40 creative work and it's going to replace
4:42 your creative self-expression it's going
4:44 to make you less expressive uh you know
4:48 less less capable less creative because
4:51 it does all the creative work that's one
4:52 of the fears one of the other fears is
4:55 it's going to take my job it's going to
4:56 take all of our jobs right it's this
4:58 very binary thing AI bad going to
5:01 destroy me it's existential and I'm
5:03 laughing not because I think it's funny
5:05 but because I think it's it's a it's a
5:09 it's a very real feeling from the
5:13 outside and so I want to help
5:15 reframe how to think about you and your
5:19 relationship with AI
5:22 so let's go back to this idea of this
5:25 very simplified version of self again
5:28 not not involving relationships here
5:29 this is just very selfish so your
5:33 self-expression in its purest form is
5:35 what's the stuff that makes you happy
5:36 what's the stuff that like get you going
5:39 right a layer removed from you is the
5:43 what you actually do part what you
5:45 actually produce oops that's in the
5:47 wrong order oh wait hang
5:49 on I messed up let's
5:54 see I went the wrong
5:58 direction I've never done done this
6:00 before I just came up with this just
6:02 outside of of of you a step removed from
6:06 you is the thing you produce when you're
6:09 being creative right if you're a painter
6:11 you paint if you're a musician you make
6:13 songs if you're an entrepreneur you
6:16 start a business if you love to Garden
6:19 you Garden right there's the creative
6:21 product there's the there's the what you
6:23 put your energy into to produce
6:24 something to express yourself is not you
6:28 it's it's a step remove from you it's
6:30 very very important but it's a step
6:32 removed beyond that oops is creative
6:38 process right so this is uh maybe it's
6:40 ideation maybe it's thinking about
6:42 things maybe it's going to the Michaels
6:46 store to pick up acrylic paints and
6:48 canvases right creative process is is
6:51 the prepping getting ready to make the
6:53 thing right which is inspired by the who
6:55 you are and what you want to
6:56 self-express so the there's these layers
6:59 right beyond what we can do similarly on
7:03 the prosperity side there's the business
7:06 product right that's the you know I've
7:08 started a business and I'm making sales
7:10 and I'm you know maybe I've created a
7:12 creative product that I'm selling so I'm
7:15 I'm I'm out there doing sales of that
7:17 product or I'm putting together any
7:18 Ecommerce store and then outside of that
7:21 is business process right and business
7:24 process is I'm sending emails I'm
7:25 following up I'm going to Staples to
7:28 pick up the paper because the printers
7:30 out of paper and I get home and I put
7:32 the paper in the printer and I ran out
7:35 of ink and now I got to go back and
7:36 right all that stuff and that's removed
7:39 from you as
7:41 well and so one of the things that I see
7:43 very very consistently
7:46 is people that might be very very angry
7:49 about AI or threatened by AI say things
7:53 like like you know I will never use it
7:56 for creativity I'm like well you know do
7:58 you ever use it to help write an email
8:00 oh yeah I use it for that all the time
8:02 right so I think one of the things that
8:03 we do as humans is we
8:06 compartmentalize where the threats in
8:07 our life are right so if something's
8:10 super important to us we don't want AI
8:12 to threaten that but there's other areas
8:14 where you can use it and so that's
8:16 that's kind of where I I come into this
8:17 so so we're now in this world where
8:19 where we have this AI thing
8:22 right and if you're not using it at all
8:25 and if you're completely terrified and
8:27 freaked out
8:30 and you don't know where to start and
8:32 and all you know is you don't want it to
8:33 destroy
8:35 you here's the
8:37 reframe start outside of even all of
8:41 this
8:42 stuff
8:44 start by just playing with AI just play
8:48 with AI like don't use it for anything
8:51 just go play go make pictures go make
8:53 songs go make words go make poems go
8:55 make pizza recipes doesn't flip and
8:58 matter at all
9:00 and then you can
9:03 choose where you start to apply what
9:06 you're learning as you sort of work
9:08 closer to who you are some creative
9:11 people I know they draw a hard Line This
9:13 horizontal line is a hard line they're
9:15 like I'll use it for business I'll never
9:17 use it for Creative I totally respect
9:20 that other people are like well I'll use
9:22 it for process but you know I don't ever
9:25 want to use it to produce the work other
9:27 people go in a little bit further so as
9:30 you start to play with all these
9:32 toolss play with them knowing that
9:34 you're not going to invade what whatever
9:37 you have defined as your Sacred Space
9:39 the thing where you know your value is
9:43 for me
9:44 personally I look at technology as a
9:47 form of self-expression and as a
9:49 potential you know um Avenue for
9:53 Prosperity so in my case I'm trying to
9:56 figure out how to go from play you know
9:58 all the way to the inside here because I
10:00 find that tremendously exciting you may
10:02 not and that's totally cool
10:05 but if you just think that AI is going
10:08 to replace you you lose all this
10:10 opportunity to move from play which can
10:12 be really fun and exciting and inspiring
10:15 to making things in your life easier
10:17 that right now are currently hard all
10:19 right so that's the reframe um I see
10:22 there's some people in here I'll take
10:23 some comments if anyone wants to to uh
10:25 to chat but I'm curious what your
10:27 thoughts are thanks I just got got
