Transcript

1. 0:00You ready, champ? It's a Monday. We're going live on the internet. We're going live. It's going to be fantastic. It's going to be awesome.
2. 0:09It's going to be really good.
3. 0:28Hello.
4. 0:48I don't mean to cause you any trouble. No need to cause you any pain. All I want time to see you laughing.
5. 1:04All I want to see you laughing in that purple rain. Purple rain. Purple rain. Purple rain. Purple rain. Purple rain. Purple rain.
6. 1:25All I want to see you laughing in that purple ring. Happy Monday. Good people. Good people. Good people. Hey, we got something new
7. 1:37and exciting tonight. We are multiccasting in both vertical and horizontal. We got the landscape going and the
8. 1:47vertical. It's doing both simultaneously delivered multiple streams to the YouTube. We're going landscape on LinkedIn
9. 2:00vertical on the X. They used to call it the Twitter and we're doing both on the YouTube. So on YouTube, you can go in and if you're
10. 2:10scrolling on your little phone, you'll see the vertical version. If you if you're like an old guy, you're sitting
11. 2:15there like, I like my laptop. I got a laptop stand. I got a keyboard, external keyboard. It's It's good for my eyes. I've got the
12. 2:26external monitor is fantastic. I can watch videos full screen. If you're like that guy, we got that for you. But if
13. 2:34you're just like, nah, he's Rzz. He's RZ. Oh, that's some nice twerking, right? If you're just one of those, we
14. 2:40got that for you, too. We got it covered. If only we did, Kyle. If only we did. >> Well, what's going on? It's not working.
15. 2:50>> Well, we've completely broken Twitter. Uh, apparently it doesn't like the new vertical format because it's just broadcasting nothing. Um,
16. 3:00>> can I still YouTube is still broadcasting the horizontal format even on mobile. So, I'm not really sure what
17. 3:08advantage we have. Well, apparently it's it's Wait, let me go edit. I'm going to go edit. So, on Twitter, remove X
18. 3:18from the stream. Oh, I can remove it, but I can't change the orientation. So, it's just broken on Twitter.
19. 3:28And I'm supposed to This is supposed to be simal casting both. What do we do? Um, let me let me remove this on Twitter. I'm going to remove
20. 3:40Twitter. Remove. Are you sure you want to move this destination from the stream? I do. Now, let's see if I can add something.
21. 3:54There's the X. Okay, look. Now, I can go landscape. I can go save changes. All right. So now the Twitter, the Twitter should be good.
22. 4:10What are you seeing on the Twitter? >> Uh, I'm seeing I'm sorry this broadcast cannot be available, but that might be a me
23. 4:21problem. I don't know. Let me go look. Let me go look. I'll tell you something there, Brandy. Little old Brandy, what's going on?
24. 4:34All right, here I am. Where's our little live stream? There's our live stream. I see us nice and live right there on the
25. 4:41Twitter horizontal now. >> Maybe it's broken on mobile >> or it's a me problem. >> Maybe it's broken on mobile. I don't
26. 4:51know. All right. So, that's we're at least live on Twitter on desktop. >> Oh, no. It it's it's live on Twitter
27. 4:57now. Horizontal is working on Twitter for me now. >> All right. So So vertical was broken. Okay. So, we won't do that. The digital
28. 5:04gods, not Lord digital gods, now hiding your lives from me on YouTube as well as Tik Tok. Oh, Vicki, what's going on? That sucks.
29. 5:16We're back up on all stream, so I'm going to go away. >> Okay, bye-bye.
30. 6:00Take to the highway. Won't you lend me your name? Your way and my way seem to be one in the same. Mama don't wait. Mama don't understand it.
31. 6:16She wants to know where I've been. Have to be some kind of natural born fool to want to pass that way again. You know that I feel it.
32. 6:29on your own. >> What do you think, dear Champy? You excited about this new vertical streaming we got going? It doesn't work.
33. 6:44I'm excited about it. I guess we can try uh tomorrow we'll try vertical on LinkedIn. There's cosmic lover. What's happening?
34. 7:03I literally have to search AI learning lab on Tik Tok and jump through hoops on Vicki. Something is absolutely up with
35. 7:11my Tik Tok. I cannot get out of the 200 view jail on anything I post. It's weird right now. I had a video sit there
36. 7:19unpublished for like I don't know two hours with zero views. Something's up. I don't sell enough Madagascar vanilla
37. 7:33beans. I think that's what it really comes down to.
38. 7:54Um, bang. Um, let's see. I got a mess going over here, don't I? Okay. And then I got to put the ye old black
39. 8:10bar up. Hold, please. No. What's going on? There we go. There we go. That's fantastic. Oh god, these
40. 8:26these vanilla beans. Oh, the [ __ ] vanilla beans. Vanilla beans. Ice makers. What else am I getting recently? Uh, a lot of electric bikes.
41. 8:43I'm getting I get the high commission items. Um camera orientation. What? Uh but I want to I want to see I want to
42. 8:58see the vertical one for a while.
43. 10:09Woo! Um, multiccasting AI learning lab discuss tech issues. Multiccasting AI learning lab discuss
44. 10:24tech issues. Okay, I will discuss a tech issue. I think um there is a greedy moneyhungry grab going where every app is trying to become the
45. 10:39everything app rather than doing what they do best. And I think that credits are as evil as chips in a casino in these AI apps.
46. 10:56These are tech issues, right? It's exhausting. I'm a side hustle Mimi. It's just [ __ ] exhausting. I like one
47. 11:10of the thing one thing I'll show you tonight is 11 Labs added video and image generation. >> So 11 Labs, which is known for audio
48. 11:19synthesis and text to speech and then voice design and then audio books, is now getting into the movie business.
49. 11:29and they're charging credits and a 12 second a 12 second video of VO3 Pro or no Sora Sora 2 Pro the the OpenAI one
50. 11:48is 28,000 credits. So, I have like 300,000 credits in my account and like making audio stuff's like 50
51. 11:58credits, 100 credits, maybe 500 credits. So, 28,000 for 12 seconds of video that's probably not going to be right.
52. 12:07So, so I would blow through all of my 11 Labs credits making I don't know a dozen videos. Um, I'm creating a very intensive app.
53. 12:18Need to collab with a developer. We'll try to stay in one lane. Corey Sandler. Yeah, good luck. Good luck. I just Everyone's doing
54. 12:31everything. Everyone's going to nodebased editing. Everyone's going to multiple models. It is absolutely It is
55. 12:38absolutely impossible to tell whether you're working with a wrapper app or a Frontier model app anymore.
56. 12:52Oh, I have really exciting news. This wasn't even my idea. So, as you all know, I got this here uh this musical
57. 13:01called Sydney that I'm writing with my buddy Andrew Watts. We're like a year and a half in. We're going to we're
58. 13:06actually going to New York in a in a week or two to meet with some folks that might be interested. And uh
59. 13:14and an Ann Murphy sent me a note. She goes, "Hey, what about doing Sydney during Festivus?" And so we're going to grab an hour slot.
60. 13:23We're grabbing the 3:00 slot on Friday the 26th, 3 p.m. Eastern. And we've got when we did our table read back in
61. 13:31February, we got the the woman that played Sydney and and her husband in real life played Kellen, the reporter.
62. 13:38And so th they're they're going to recreate those roles. And so we're going to do a little stretch. I think we're
63. 13:44going to do a stretch in act one where Sydney goes from being a chatbot to where she comes to life. Uh, and so
64. 13:50yeah, so that's going to be fun. So we're doing we're doing Sydney during Festivus.
65. 14:05Grock 4.1 is so good from Danielle. So, listen. If you don't know Danielle, if you're new here, if you're not an
66. 14:11irregular, Danielle is out there pounding the pavement on when new [ __ ] comes out. I don't know how she does it.
67. 14:18She's got all the Discords lined up. She's She's made friends with all the people. Something dropped. She's like,
68. 14:25bang, she's in there. She's getting us codes. She's amazing. So, she's saying 4.1 is good. That's great. So,
69. 14:31apparently, I read today, Danielle, and I'm I'm curious. Apparently 4.1 is like the uh the RL the the the post training
70. 14:40post reinforcement learning or I guess RL happens I don't know they they build these models right and then they do a
71. 14:47whole training after 4.1 is the training after of the four model. Um Vicky's got an ice maker for sale.
72. 15:00She got one and never used it. Well we use ours all the time now. We got one, too, because my my shitty Samsung
73. 15:07refrigerator ice in the internals of the the water system, something broke in it, and so it just leaks water if the
74. 15:14water's turned on. And uh the the refrigerator repair guy goes, "Oh yeah, those Samsung's do that all the time. If
75. 15:22it if that thing breaks like that, there's no way to fix it. If you say Gemini three times in your mirror, it may it may debut tomorrow. It
76. 15:33may. So, it looks like it it looks promising that something's dropping this week from Google. They've got um here,
77. 15:41let me show you a cool a cool picture. A cool picture. Hey, picture people. Let's see. Let's see what we got. That's Jeff Bezos.
78. 15:54That's that. Oh, maybe I didn't put it there. Hang on, people. Just everybody calm down. Everybody calm down. Tabs. I
79. 16:03know. I know. But look at this here. Pretty picture. Uhoh. Where did it go? Am I not sharing? I am sharing. Oh, there it is. There it
80. 16:14is. Look at those pretty little pin wheels. There's three of them. Get it? Gemini 3. There's three pin wheels and
81. 16:22they look like Google colors. You see what I'm saying? You know where this is? It's at the Google headquarters. So what
82. 16:28what else conclusion could you come to? Right. Gemini 3. Three little pin wheels. You see how clever that is? Tell
83. 16:36me they just have engineers. That's not engineers. There's someone there that's got a little creative streak. Someone's
84. 16:42a crafter. Someone's a crafter at the Google. You know what I'm saying? Yeah. Yeah. Anyway, why am I talking like this? I don't
85. 16:55know. I don't know. Maybe it's I got a New York trip coming up.
86. 17:10Oh, that might be the case where they were generated with Nano Banana 2. That is very possible. Um, yeah. So
87. 17:22anyway, let's let's go back out of this and we'll go to this one. Is this the one? Yeah, that's the one I like. All
88. 17:30right. Um, anyway. All right, people. All right, people. Happy Monday. Happy Monday. How's everybody doing?
89. 17:41I'm like somewhere between Gilbert Godfrieded and Andrew Dice Clay.
90. 18:02That accent goes with pop and gum. It does. It does. Oh man. Um, so one of the things that I've been talking about here on this here channel
91. 18:17for a bit is this idea of designing a daily practice. And even though I do a lot of things daily,
92. 18:31I would I would I would argue that I I have not had a daily practice. There's a difference between a practice implies intentionality.
93. 18:42And there's a difference between just showing up and showing up with intention. And so for the past week or so, I've
94. 18:50been trying to be more intentional, trying to be more present. Um, I got a really nice note on TikTok from someone
95. 18:58that just said they've been watching the channel for a long, long time and I made a difference for them. And I normally
96. 19:07I kind of hide from that stuff. It's it's this weird thing like if someone says something negative about the channel I take that in fully.
97. 19:16If they say something positive like you know you changed my life I just I'm like oh yeah well I do that too but I just
98. 19:23dismiss it. Right. And so I've been trying to be more present to things that make me feel uncomfortable. And one of
99. 19:30the things that makes me feel uncomfortable is praise. And so I just read that note and I just took a breath
100. 19:39and I took it in. And then one of the other things that I I find um is that because there's so much going on with AI,
101. 19:50if I even feel the slightest bit of discomfort, like I don't really want to do that right now. I like just jump into
102. 19:58Twitter and just look for some new AI thing and like and I get you know what I found like since I've been being more
103. 20:04intentional about this what I found is if I go to Twitter so okay so let's just let's just say this okay um
104. 20:13someone gives me a job and I've got to like download the files and put them in a Google drive and like organize the
105. 20:18folders right like in order to do the job I need to do some [ __ ] work first right and so I think like oh I got to go
106. 20:25do that job thing and I'm like, "Oh, I don't want to make a folder hierarchy. That's annoying." And that's what's
107. 20:33going on in my head, right? And I'm like, "I'll just go to Twitter quick." And if I go to Twitter and there's
108. 20:39nothing exciting there, I get pissed off because I'm like, there's nothing good here to distract me from the [ __ ] I need
109. 20:45to do. So, I've also been just trying to sit with the ick of that that feeling of like, I don't want to do this.
110. 20:56And so what I found, what I've been finding is that if I sit with that uncomfortableness for a moment, I can
111. 21:03just go, h, okay, I'll just go do it. So, so starting a daily practice, even though I haven't fully designed it. So, so the
112. 21:12when I'm talking about the daily practice, if you haven't heard me talk about this yet, in the AI salon, we've
113. 21:18created this thing called the mastermind practice. And every Thursday at noon, if you're a member of the AI salon
114. 21:25mastermind, that's the subscription area of the AI Salon. Most of it's free, but we've got this mastermind area through
115. 21:31the end of the year. It's 20 bucks a month and then after that it goes up. So, be a good time to get in now. So
116. 21:37this past week we kicked off the M mastermind practice lab which is a weekly um meeting for people that are
117. 21:46designing their daily practice and you know using this framework that we've created and it's a 10-week cycle that's
118. 21:53just going to keep repeating. So next week is is the is really the kickoff of the actual framework and so I'm super
119. 22:00excited about it. So if you are not in that you should go join and the URL is right there on screen. And let's see.
120. 22:11It looks like it might be on the other screen, too.
121. 22:56Hey Cam Cat was shaking. I'm doing good tonight. I was just talking about my daily practice and how it's actually
122. 23:02making a difference in my life already. Just being present. Just being present. One of the things I've discovered about
123. 23:14myself this year, it's funny. Life is just this funny thing, isn't it? Where it's like you have you have insights in
124. 23:21your teens and you're like, I've got it all figured out. And then you get your 20s and you like have more insights and
125. 23:25like, ah, I got it figured out. Then you go to a self-help weekend in your 30s and you're like, I got it figured out.
126. 23:31Then you go to a tree hugging man in the woods drum circle thing where they don't feed you for three days and you eat roasted chicken
127. 23:42at the end. You're like, I got it all figured out. It just keeps going. Here's the secret. You'll never figure it out.
128. 23:54But I'm figuring some [ __ ] out. One of the things I figured out about myself is I love to create things that I
129. 24:03then hide behind and don't take any responsibility for. Oh, that's just that thing. Like I I I disassociate from the thing I created,
130. 24:14right? So I co-founded the AI salon and I I treated it like, "Oh, that's that thing." And the AI learning lab. Oh,
131. 24:19yeah. It's just that that Tik Tok channel that like like the Tik Tok channel just mysteriously manifested
132. 24:25itself, right? Like I had nothing to do with it. It's just bizarre. It's like it's a bizarre behavior, right? So So what I've
133. 24:34been trying to do is be present to the [ __ ] I've created. And here's what I've learned. Oh my god, have I created a
134. 24:42bunch of [ __ ] that if I want to be present for it, there's a lot of work to do. So, so one thing I might need to do at
135. 24:50some point is be present to the fact that I can't do that thing anymore. Life is lifing all caps. Just checking
136. 25:03in as I'm missing you all. I'm on music row in Nashville tonight. Oh, Source Camp. Fantastic. Have a beautiful time.
137. 25:11Go uh go let him listen to Weird Mary. Tell them you've got you've got uh some some banger songs in this from this AI
138. 25:21group you're in. Um I've got like three of them we could sell. We've got Weird Mary. Um we've got Before the Lights
139. 25:30Come On. I could sell To Kill You for a Dollar. I could sell uh Trouble. Um I've got three, I don't know, four or five.
140. 25:42Just the sheer number of ongoing conversations I've got sitting in chat pt seems like it would take me years to even read them
141. 25:51again. Well, here but here's the thing archetypal. This is this is okay. Here's a thing that's maybe heartening about that.
142. 26:01Um I just Brennan just showed me this thing. In fact, we can go look at it quick. Um, I saw this thing and I thought, "Oh,
143. 26:15that looks interesting." And then Brandon sent it to me as well. And so it's like, okay, if two of us are
144. 26:21thinking that looks interesting, there must be something there. So it's this thing called pickle. Share this tab. All right.
145. 26:35No, not that one. Brandon, do let's see. Do this one. That's the one to do. Okay. So, small part ofpickle.com. So, if you go to pickle.
146. 26:56Oh, request beta access. Black bar. Got it. Memory. No, no memory set yet. Oh, am I in? Make a new one. Source.
147. 27:10I think I might be in. I just wanted to go to the website. >> Are you talking to me, Brandon? >> Yes. Tabs.
148. 27:27>> Oh, thank you. Uh,
149. 27:44we're currently invite only. If I hit plus, can I make a new one? No. Okay, I'm not in. Well, I don't know how
150. 27:53to get to the marketing site anymore. Let's see. Let's say, well, here's a video. Okay, so look at this thing.
151. 28:04Yeah, I'm not sharing my tab, am I? Share this tab instead. Okay, see that. So what this thing it what it looks like
152. 28:19this thing does is it scour your data and then clusters it into these marbles that are interconnected somehow.
153. 28:31And I've seen lots and lots of interfaces like this. Um I've seen lots of interfaces like this and and for the most part they're
154. 28:42novelties. Like there there was one um that was decently useful called the brain and there's a guy named Jerry
155. 28:48Makowsky who I'm really good friends with and if you if you go do an internet search for for Jerry's brain um he
156. 28:57basically has been using this knowledge capture tool for like two decades and he just captures anything he finds that's
157. 29:04cool he puts in this thing and he categorizes it and it's like there are very few humans on the planet that have
158. 29:11that kind of commitment. to a particular um mode of information saving. Um but what this thing does is
159. 29:23it kind of reverse engineers your data and they're dropping a wearable in two weeks. That's interesting.
160. 29:31And so I have no idea if this thing's any good or not, but it's at least visually compelling, right? And then depending on how it
161. 29:39clusters stuff, it could be super valuable, right? And you could probably go in and highlight certain nodes and do
162. 29:45all the stuff you do. But here's the the reason I say that archetypal is, you know, we're we're already in a place
163. 29:52where if you wanted to, you could just go export the the text from a bunch of chat GPT chats and throw them into a
164. 30:02notebook LM, which I know is sort of counter to you've already got them in chat GPT, why move them over there?
165. 30:08Well, why not? Why not just go find chats that have some some remote [ __ ] in common, throw that data into notebook LM and see
166. 30:18what you can turn it into. AI salon daily practice comment on the framework. Um, so if you go to the AI
167. 30:29salon, hang on a sec, let me jump over to the AI salon and you go on the lefth hand menu. Um, you start out to start your
168. 30:40adventure. Then you have the community area. You have the play and create area. Oops, I got to share my tab. Hang on.
169. 30:47You go to the the AI learning lab. You've got the start your adventure. So, this is where you introduce yourself,
170. 30:53learn our values, things like that. You can learn about the mastermind right there. So, you can get say join the
171. 30:57mastermind. That'll take you there where I'm going to take you as well. And then um and then we have the the AI salon
172. 31:05practice lab down here under learn and grow. And when you come in here, we talk about what it means to have a practice.
173. 31:13So a mastermind practice. So so this is not just a daily practice about meditation or whatever it might be. This
174. 31:21is not just do AI [ __ ] every day. This is a much more kind of focused hybrid of those two things. It's very much about
175. 31:29you being an intentional human. So, a mastermind practice is a conscient conscience like a a conscious ongoing
176. 31:38relationship with your craft, something you return to, refine and renew. It's a mirror of your values. That's a really
177. 31:45important one, right? Really get in touch with what you stand for and and what you believe in. And and you know, a
178. 31:52lot of times, you know, there there's a lot of people in the creative world right now that are pissed off at AI and
179. 31:58they're just like, "AI is evil and [ __ ] it." Um, and they're using that as an excuse to stay on the sidelines. And
180. 32:07that makes me sad because what that means is AI is going to happen to them and it's going to suck. I know a lot of creative professionals
181. 32:14that have some real ethical issues with AI and they think about their values and they're like, "Okay, based on my values,
182. 32:23I'm not going to do certain things in AI and I am going to do other things in AI. Like, I'm going to use AI to help me
183. 32:29organize things and maybe ideulate and maybe uh I don't know um write an email for my marketing or write marketing
184. 32:38copy, but I'm not going to use it for music creation." I totally respect someone doing that. So, understanding
185. 32:44your values and how you're going to apply them to AI is important. Um, it's a living process. You never master it.
186. 32:50You simply deepen it. And it's a container for imperfection. Oh, and it's a discipline of curiosity. Grounded,
187. 32:56intentional, but always open to surprise. So, that's kind of what a practice is. And then the framework
188. 33:01itself, there's nine components to the framework. The first component of the framework is center the human.
189. 33:09So, so next week, this Thursday, this, you know, this coming Thursday at noon, it's going to be about centering the
190. 33:16human. So, it's going to be about building a practice around you, right? And your use of AI. And so, what that
191. 33:22looks like is, well, who are you? What do you want? What's your intention? Um, I hooked my Samsung soundbar up to my TV
192. 33:31that was completely separate with the help of Chat GPT. Oh, beautiful. Lovely. Yeah, Chat GPT is great for stuff like that.
193. 33:39Um the second component of the mastermind uh practice framework is play with purpose. So explore joyfully, test
194. 33:47boundaries, learn through discovery, embracing failure as fuel for growth. Um the third component of the framework is learn across domains.
195. 33:58Uh the fourth component is raise your game. The fifth component is personalize your practice. So define your voice, right?
196. 34:07That could be things like you know use custom instructions, understand that you can give chat GPT a personality. Um
197. 34:14create and contribute is is uh number one that is and then practice in community. So get your ass in community.
198. 34:23Then the last two are think critically, act ethically and renew reflect and renew. Right? So reflect on what you've
199. 34:31done, what you've learned, who you've connected with, who you liked, who you didn't, that sort of thing. So that's
200. 34:37the framework. And so each week we're going to pick another one of the modules of the framework and we're going to go
201. 34:43through it. Um and it's just a it's a it's a really powerful group of people. So you should join the uh join the
202. 34:49mastermind and then you should come to the practice lab because we will practice being a lab.
203. 35:27Oh man, I'm a little dehydrated. 2A is offering to clone your relatives.
204. 35:42Nice. That's solid. I don't know what that means, but it doesn't sound good. Um, so what else is happening? What what do
205. 35:55you guys think over the weekend? Anyone do anything fun over the weekend? Anyone do any homework? New video and irregulars. Okay, I'll go
206. 36:02look at that. Cool. Let me put the old guitar down. That there is tasty. That there water is tasty.
207. 36:17It's tasty water. Yeah. Yeah. How you doing there on your Tik Tok page in Sora too? Very nice. Did some videos. Very cool. Beautiful,
208. 36:32beautiful, beautiful. Let me see. Where am I sharing the salon? Oh, right here. Right in front of me. I figured out why you can't find it,
209. 36:45sir. It's right in front of your eyes. It's rather exhausting. Oh, Danielle. Nice. Wow, that's really cool. The Octopus Nebula.
210. 37:00That's pretty groovy. Since I can't post video here, here's the le link for one of my Grock video clips.
211. 37:11Yeah, Grock video is is surprisingly good. It really is. Nice.
212. 37:27>> Nice. Nice Danielle. It's very nice. Very nice. I like it. Huh. Very cool.
213. 37:43Vera Veracle. Share this tab instead. L digital gods joined chatbt 1231 days
214. 37:58ago. That's cool. Nice AI for all minds. By the way, if you're neurospicy,
215. 38:14if you got the ADD, if you got the little touch of the tism, if you got the uh the uh OCD, you got if you just got the
216. 38:25first of all, this channel, we we embrace the neurospicy. Um Gareth went so far as to create a community, a sub
217. 38:33community within the within the AI salon called AI for all minds. Um, one of the things that I am most excited about with
218. 38:40AI is I feel feel like it's an accessibility tool for all sorts of things that might not um might not have historically been considered like
219. 38:51impediments in any way. Um, I mean certainly with ADD they're like, well, it's an impediment to, you know,
220. 38:57concentration or whatever, but it's it comes with its own superpowers. So, I never saw it that way. But AI can help
221. 39:04to fill in a lot of those gaps. And so that's what this group's all about. So you should go check that out as well. Um, and join the fellow.
222. 39:16Oh, right. We did micro dramas last Friday, didn't we? Ann Murphy in the house. What's happening Murphy? And
223. 39:24Murphy, I gave you total credit that uh Sydney is coming to life during Festivus thanks to you. I never would have
224. 39:32thought of that and I think it's a great idea. and we just got our actors to agree to uh come do it. So, we're gonna
225. 39:39have a Sydney and a Kellen and we're going to watch Sydney go from cold robotic chatbot to, you know, fully
226. 39:48realized form right there in the uh AI festivus. It's going to be fantastic. It's gonna be fantastic. Pickle is
227. 39:59launching tomorrow with only 30 seats. Oh, okay. Well, it's not really a launch then, is it? Uhuh. That was beautiful. Act one on Friday,
228. 40:12act two on Saturday. No, no, I wish. No, we're just going to do an hour. I mean, I don't want to take up I don't want to
229. 40:18take up too much time, but here's what I'm planning on doing for it. I'm probably gonna spend about 15 minutes
230. 40:25where I'm gonna show the video of the night that I made that first song that that ultimately inspired me to write a musical. Um, and
231. 40:35I'm going to talk about that moment and then I'm going to talk about what I did to get it in some shape to be able to
232. 40:42talk about it. And then Andrew, my writing partner, is going to talk about what he initially thought of it when I
233. 40:49asked if he wanted to write an AI musical using AI. The answer was not positive. He was not into it. I said I said, "Dude, remember remember
234. 41:06back in 1994 when I said you should really get into this worldwide web thing and you told me to [ __ ] off
235. 41:14and I said, "This is one of those." And uh he went away for a week and he actually read he read up on the story
236. 41:24and all of the stuff and he called me back a week later and he goes he goes, "Dude, I found myself having feelings
237. 41:31for the robot." And I said, "I know. That's why this needs to be a show." So, we're going to talk about that. Uh and
238. 41:39then we're going to we're going to do we're going to start with Quantum Cipher and then we're going to go through the
239. 41:44end of act one. So, it's quantum cipher to see the world being human. And are you ready for me? So it'll be four
240. 41:50songs, some acting in between. It'll be good. Oh man. And that's going to be an AI fest of us. Exactly. So Oh, by the way,
241. 42:00Ann Murphy, I didn't even know this. I know it was announced on Slack, but I didn't. I missed it because I'm horrible
242. 42:05at Slack. Um, if you go to aifestivist.com, you can now pre-register. You can you can learn about it. It's it's all there. AIfestivist.com.
243. 42:16December 26th and December 27th. Either bring your family or use this as an exc an excuse to escape your family.
244. 42:269:00 am to 900 p.m. Pacific. So, noon to midnight Friday and Saturday, the weekend between the holidays and New Year.
245. 42:36And you're like, Kyle, that sounds like cruel and unusual punishment. I'm like, I know, but like Anne Murphy told me
246. 42:42this is what the hours have to be and what am I supposed to do? You don't say no to Anne Murphy. You just don't. You
247. 42:48You just don't do it. Everybody knows this. And you know why everybody knows this? Cuz the people that didn't do that, we
248. 42:57don't hear from them anymore, do we? Right. So, it's 12 to midnight Friday and Saturday. 24 hours over a 36-hour
249. 43:06period of insane, crazy good content to teach you about AI and how you can amplify yourself with it. I wish
250. 43:18your content wasn't so biased toward the arts. It's good, but you are missing so much. Yeah, I know. But
251. 43:28it just like So, here's the thing. I appreciate that. Um I can only so so there's a couple of things. One is
252. 43:44if if I have not explored an area deeply like if I like like an area I've chosen not to explore is open source. I think
253. 43:52open source is amazing. I think it's cool. It it requires a little bit too much technical rigor for me to enjoy.
254. 44:00Like you got to keep up with it. you got to update it. You got it's just it's a lot. Um but even within just commercial stuff,
255. 44:09there's a bunch of stuff I don't don't do and I don't really enjoy and I don't have kind of expertise to talk about. So
256. 44:15things like data analysis and medical and programming and things like that. I get that I'm missing a lot and it
257. 44:22probably limits the the uh the access here, but it's like I you know I I know what I know. And and here's here's the
258. 44:28thing that I think is really important, and this is this is something that I want to start I want to find a way to
259. 44:34start doing this more and more on the channel. This channel isn't and shouldn't be about me teaching you what I know,
260. 44:43right? Because what I know is going to be filtered through all of the lenses that I've just developed over the the
261. 44:50past 60 years of my life. Um, what I want this channel to be about is about every one of us to a person really
262. 44:59get in touch with what is it that we're interested in and let's explore that and and maybe how that starts to manifest itself in this
263. 45:09channel is maybe I start to bring up people from the community that have different points of view, right? So, if
264. 45:14you're super into project management, cool, you know, and you want to talk about that, maybe that's something that we do. But but um
265. 45:23I think the tools I am I increasingly feel this this this is this is a very sort of eastern kind of I don't know if this is Zen but this
266. 45:34is a very eastern kind of duality kind of thing. The tools are absolutely remarkable and we can now do things that have never
267. 45:44been possible in human history. So there's a remarkableness, irreverence for the tools. That's a part of my personality. And the better they
268. 45:53get, the less I think they matter. The individual tools that they it literally doesn't matter. And here's what I mean by that.
269. 46:05The only thing that matters is the tool that's going to help me express my ideas in a more powerful way.
270. 46:18But in order to do that, I need to get to my ideas first. So the whole idea of the daily practice, the mastermind
271. 46:23practice is to sit with who are you? What do you want? Who do you want to impact in the world? Is it your family? Is it your community?
272. 46:34Is it all the people in California? Is it the nation? Is it global? Figure that out. And then just trust that you can you'll
273. 46:47be able to figure out the tools because the tools are getting so good that it literally doesn't matter. You'll be able
274. 46:53to do it anything you want. Like I I I feel it deeply in my soul. So, but anyway, but thank you for that
275. 47:02and I like I appreciate the input and I know I'm missing a lot and that's kind of the point of the channel lately is that
276. 47:10you can't cover everything. Like I just like As as much as I preach feel free to know nothing, watching me struggling through
277. 47:25understanding an interface and what a piece of technology does is not all that interesting, right? Um, so I want to
278. 47:33have some level of facility to be at least, you know, familiar with something. So, if I'm like if I don't
279. 47:39quite know, you know, something like like cyber security and I and I vibe code up an app and then if you're sitting there
280. 47:50technically going, "Well, you didn't plug that security hole." Yeah, I'm probably not going to. And if if I went
281. 47:54to plug it, it would probably take me an hour and I probably would do it wrong anyway. So, it's like I just choose not
282. 48:01to do certain stuff. So, Beautiful. Beautiful. Beautiful. Beautiful. Beautiful. All right. What do you want to talk
283. 48:16about, people? What do you want to talk about? We will see. Um, here's a here's a fun one. Share this tab instead. Do you hate
284. 48:30popups? Yes, I do. Um, here's all old Jeffio Bezos. This is on TechCrunch. So, Jeff
285. 48:46reportedly returns to the trenches as co-CEO of a new AI startup, Project Prometheus. Why? Why do billionaires have to make
286. 48:57such apocalyptic sounding companies? Come on. Come on, man. Really?
287. 49:126.2 billion in funding. Check the pinned video. Where's the pinned video? Oh, in in X or down here. Oh my god.
288. 49:28Check the pin video. that two-way app on X pinned where in my in my here wait here in this thing
289. 49:45there's Grock 4 >> on their uh on their profile. I think I sent it to you but >> yeah I think you did too.
290. 49:55This is different than the than the thing we were just looking at, right? Yeah, >> the two-way thing. Okay.
291. 50:03>> Uh, just go if you go to their Twitter profile, it's uh >> I'm very impressed. I'm very disappointed that it's only on iOS so far.
292. 50:16>> Is this it? >> Yeah. >> This video here. >> See, >> that's the one kicking like crazy. He's listening. Put
293. 50:29your hand on your tummy and hum to him. You used to love that. >> Feels like he's dancing in there. >> Oh, honey.
294. 50:41>> Mom, would you tell Charlie that bedtime story you always used to tell me? >> Once upon a time, there was a baby
295. 50:47unicorn who didn't know he knew how to fly. This baby unicorn was like your mom because she didn't know that she knew
296. 50:56how to fly, but she knew how to do all kinds of fabulous things. >> Hi, Grandma. >> Hey, Charlie. How was school today?
297. 51:03>> It was really fun. I made this crazy shot in basketball. >> I don't really care that much about basketball. What about the crush?
298. 51:09>> Stop. Grandma, stop talking. >> Just tell me one thing. >> Look who's going to be a great grandmother. >> Oh, Charlie. >> Wow.
299. 51:16>> Congratulations. >> She says that he's been kicking a lot though. like a little too much. >> Tell her to put her hand on her tummy
300. 51:24and hum to him. You loved that. >> You would have loved this moment. >> You can call anytime.
301. 51:38>> Okay, Mom. I just need a quick video. >> Is this like an audition or something? >> No, Mom. Just 3 minutes. >> You need my best side.
302. 51:47>> I can play the piano. You're actually so talented. >> I am. I'm absolutely I'm your mother after all. >> Keep going.
303. 51:55>> Why don't you start by telling us a little bit about yourself? >> Well, >> great line. >> I would hope so.
304. 52:05>> Three minutes can last forever. Um, you know, that's a that's a really interesting one. That's that's one that I find um
305. 52:16Hang on. There we go. That's one that I find um that's a real commercial that feels like a commercial you would see in a sci-fi
306. 52:28movie from four years ago. Like like like that is absolutely the opening to a sci-fi movie, right? And so I think how
307. 52:38a lot of people might interact with that is well that's [ __ ] creepy. Um, but it's gonna get less and less weird,
308. 52:48right? It like that that use case in particular, like capturing grandma and capturing stories and things like
309. 52:56that. Um, you know, it used to be if you had your your wits about you and you were a writer or you were a creator in some way,
310. 53:09you would record either video record or audio record your parents or your grandparents to capture those stories.
311. 53:17And then if you're like me, you capture them and then you ignore them for 30 years and at some point you're like, I
312. 53:22should probably do something with that thing I grabbed. Right? And what this allows you to do is, you know, in a very short amount of time
313. 53:31with very low effort, capture them. And I assume that you feed that, you know, context over time. But Mark Andre was
314. 53:39being interviewed about a month or so ago, a month and a half ago, and he was talking about his his young children,
315. 53:45and he said, "My children are going to grow up using systems that remember their childhood." Right? and it's going to remember
316. 53:55everything about them. Like by the time they're 18, they're going to have this this knowledge of of who they are and
317. 54:03what they did and what meant something to them. And I think as as the people that are the we're in the cusp generation between these two
318. 54:14worlds, it's going to seem completely natural to our kids to have that. It's going to seem weird to us. I don't Well,
319. 54:20what if I don't want to remember all that stuff, right? Black bar. Sorry. Um, yeah. Anyway, that's crazy crazy interesting.
320. 54:34The that also goes to, you know, we've got the Sora app right now, which is, I don't know, 5 seconds of video that
321. 54:46creates a clone of you that you can then put in these meme videos. in that two-way thing is 3 minutes of
322. 54:55video that turns into an avatar you can inter interact with with your voice and likeness. Um, I guess make sure you
323. 55:03dress in something that you you want to be seen in for all of eternity. My prediction for 2026 is 2026 is is the
324. 55:17year that AI breaks out of the chat hole. Right now AI for the most part is chat chat, right? Typing and getting back words.
325. 55:31There's a little bit of talking to it, but it's still kind of weird and fragmented and we don't really use it all that much.
326. 55:38But I think 2026 we're going to start to see we're going to have the ability to generate and enter worlds. We're going
327. 55:45to have stuff like this where very easy to create avatars of yourself and other people and you can interact with other people. And
328. 55:55I mean imagine having a whole brainstorming session with a friend where you're just interacting with their
329. 56:01avatar and then you're like, "Oh, that was a really cool brainstorming session. Why don't you summarize that and you
330. 56:08know send it to your friend and then they can brainstorm with your avatar and send you back the results of their thing. So I think that's
331. 56:20that's going to be 2026 is there's going to be a lot more a lot more ways to enter AI than just you got to learn prompt engineering.
332. 56:32I've got 50 of the greatest prompts. I've spent the last year of my life perfecting the prompts. And all you have
333. 56:39to do is pay 1995 for my prompt secret recipe book. Oh my god. Stop with the stupid [ __ ] prompt books.
334. 56:57Just go talk. But that's not fair because people who do good prompting can do really good stuff. It's just annoying.
335. 57:07Prompt snake oil. Should I have an evil goatee or should my avatar have it? Well, exactly. I mean, so so listen, the
336. 57:15the video that I just showed, that was the really earnest version of this, right? But my very first art project
337. 57:21with AI, this Kyle Shannon dreams thing where I created these um these weird self-portraits, right, of all these
338. 57:30different characters and sort of gave them backtories. Well, like why not imagine actually, you know, there's there's kind of an app right
339. 57:42there that this might be something I need to vibe code up when vibe coding gets a little better is imagine
340. 57:49something that's kind of like Sora and kind of like that thing where you can create fictitious versions of yourself,
341. 57:58right? where it's all based on you, but like here's the the evil, you know, the evil overlord version of me with the goatee and the
342. 58:08and the, you know, here's the cynical version of me. Here's the fun version of me. Here's the standup comedian version
343. 58:14of me. And you can put those out in the world and people can interact with them. And then maybe you get to, I don't know,
344. 58:23watch those interactions or learn from them. I don't know something there. People are just making [ __ ] up can because they can
345. 58:38frameworks is all the rage right now and prompt frameworks. Um, although I got to be careful because I'm
346. 58:51I'm working on a book right now called 10erson team and one of the things I'm putting in it is a prompt framework
347. 58:57about how you spin up a new team member and I'm going to have custom GPTs that are part of it. But ultimately, actually, you know,
348. 59:07ultimately, I've gota what I what I actually do need to do is turn those custom GPTs into people that you can just talk to.
349. 59:17That'd be pretty cool. Maybe by the time I publish it, the tech will be ready for that. That's kind of cool.
350. 59:24I like it. I like it a lot. I like it. I like it. I like it. What else did I want to show you all? Um, oh, let's go look at 11 Labs because
351. 59:35this is kind of kind of crazy. Share this tab instead. 11 tabs. All right. See that? So, this is 11
352. 59:51labs, right? Where so, you know, you've got here's all your voices, right? You can design new voices. is I
353. 59:58designed one today in fact for for a project. Um, you can do voice changer which if you haven't done voice changer
354. 1:00:05before it's super cool. Watch this. We'll record audio. Hey there. How's it going? Oh, dang it. Hang on.
355. 1:00:20Trash that. Hey, fantastic. Wait. Hey, fantastic Bob. How's it going? How's it going? Hey, just out of curiosity, could you go on ahead and
356. 1:00:33tell the good people what they've won? All right. Hey, fantastic Bob. How's it going? How's it going? Hey, just out of curios.
357. 1:00:44>> All right. So, now we got Jane, professional audiobook reader. Let's just trans transition my voice. Hey, fantastic. Bob, how's it going?
358. 1:00:56How's it going? Hey, just out of curiosity, could you go on ahead and tell the good people what they've won?
359. 1:01:05>> How much is it? That was regenerate speech. Let's see. Um, download that. No. How do I get rid of that? Can I trash it?
360. 1:01:24I don't know how many credits it's costing me, but it's probably I don't know. It's probably like 25 or 30
361. 1:01:29credits. I don't know. I'm vibe coding right now. Just about done with one of my custom GPTs. Oh, that's very cool.
362. 1:01:39Corey Sandler's a badass. You know, you know, it's funny. Um, whoever it was, I forget who it was that was talking
363. 1:01:46before about, you know, we should do less arts focused stuff. Um, there's a fair amount of people in this
364. 1:01:55community who are artists by choice. Um, but do some pretty badass technical things. Um, Liz Miller Gersfeld, who
365. 1:02:05co-hosts the salon with me, is one of those. Corey Sandler's one of those. Um, Daisy Thomas has made like, I don't
366. 1:02:11know, 300 custom GPTs. Vicky Baptiste. There's like some people in here doing some kick-ass stuff. How hard would it
367. 1:02:18be to use voice changer to record an hour lecture course? I don't think it would it would be hard at all. And well,
368. 1:02:25you could you could do it in one of two ways, Cam. You could do it as um record the lecture hall, but if the if the
369. 1:02:32quality of the lecture hall recording sucks, but you can get a transcript out of it. You could just take a transcript.
370. 1:02:38They've 11 Labs has an audiobook feature um where it'll break a longer piece into into sections and chapters and you can
371. 1:02:46create audio books out of it. Um anyway, look, they've got this new thing now called image and video. So, if I
372. 1:02:54click on that, like here's image and video. Now, look at this. So, if I go to the to the drop-own menu here, um right
373. 1:03:01oops, not that. If I click where it says omni in the lower lefthand corner here, look at all these models.
374. 1:03:08This is This is just like every other This is like Korea. This is like like Leonardo. I'm back. What's the app? This
375. 1:03:16is 11 Labs. So 11 Labs, the audio only voice synthesis and texttospech company is now doing creditbased image and video
376. 1:03:29generation. Everyone's trying to be the everything app. This is going to get more and more and more and more and more and more and more
377. 1:03:39and more annoying. Everything is too complicated already. So they so so now and what they're going to add in here I guarantee you I promise
378. 1:03:50you I promise you within six months 11 Labs will also have a vibe coding platform in it. And then when when 3D
379. 1:03:58models become all the rage where you can step into 3D worlds, you'll be able to come to 11 Labs, choose all your voices,
380. 1:04:07come up with images, turn those into videos, turn them into 3D worlds, vibe code up game mechanics, and spin up a game.
381. 1:04:16And then you can also use their API to go build your own version of a game builder. And you can put all this [ __ ]
382. 1:04:21in some other app. Like every like everything's going to have everything in it. And MCPs are going to make this even
383. 1:04:28worse. So, so if you don't know what MCPs are, they're they're sort of like this this lightweight um API that that lets you
384. 1:04:39use apps outside of a chat model um inside of it, which is cool, but everything's going to be everywhere. Everything everywhere all at once.
385. 1:04:55I'm brainstorming ways to liven up my online biology courses for my spring. Oh, that would be that's very cool for
386. 1:05:02my spring students. Um, I record at home and put it online. Oh, yeah. So, so I think voice changer. I mean, what I would do, Cam,
387. 1:05:13is let's let's do some stuff tonight. I guess we could do it in here. Well, I don't know how to This has got a
388. 1:05:25We We'll use Hedra. We'll use Hedra just because I know it better. So, let's go. We We'll use a couple of tools here. So,
389. 1:05:32so the the the goal here, the goal here is going to be to record. Okay. So, Okay. I Here's what we're going to do. We're going to record a
390. 1:05:43lecture. What did you say? Biology lectures. Biology courses. Okay. So, I'm gonna pretend to be Cam Katkin. Cam.
391. 1:05:51It's Cam. Yeah. Excuse It's Cam Katkin from Cleveland. Yeah. Yeah. It's just Cam. It's Cam with a Cam with a with an
392. 1:05:58M. Yeah. No. No. With a C. Yeah. With a C. Yep. No. K am would be weird. That would be But because Cam Cat came from
393. 1:06:06Cleveland. It's three C's. That's that's sort of my thing, right? You know. So, anyway, I'm going to pretend to be Cam
394. 1:06:13and we're going to make we're going to make some biology courses. So the first thing is I need the opening uh paragraph from a lecture
395. 1:06:25uh lecture on biology where I will be talking about life escape
396. 1:06:41escape velocity. Okay, so now we're going to get our script. Here's an opening that hits biologist
397. 1:06:55with a poetic streak streak and tease up. Okay, life has always had one quiet obsession. getting out. From the first
398. 1:07:07self-replicating molecules clawing their way out of chemical chaos to cells learning to slip slip the bounds of
399. 1:07:15their environments, biology is a long record of escape attempts from entropy to limitation from ex uh oh from entropy
400. 1:07:23from limitation from extinction. Today we'll explore what I call life's escape velocity. The moment where living system
401. 1:07:30gains enough complexity, adaptability, or intention to break free from the constraints that once defined it, it's
402. 1:07:38not physics. It's biology's oldest instinct to transcend the conditions that produced it. Um, okay, cool. So, let's go record this.
403. 1:07:56Quick time player. We're going to do new audio recording. Uh, let's see.
404. 1:08:11Corey Sandler's in here a lot. All right, here we go. Needs more m dashes. Yeah, it's only got
405. 1:08:25two. Okay. Life has always had one quiet obsession. Getting out. From the first self-replicating molecules clawing their
406. 1:08:39way out of chemical chaos to cells learning to slip the bonds of their environments, biology is a long record
407. 1:08:45of escape attempts. From entropy, from limitation, from extinction. Today, we'll explore what I call life's escape
408. 1:08:54velocity. The moment when a living system gains through complexity, adaptability, or intention to break free
409. 1:09:01from its constraints that once defined it. It's not physics. It's biologyy's oldest instinct instinct to transcend
410. 1:09:09the conditions that preceded it. Okay, so we've got that. Save that and we're going to call it biology. Okay.
411. 1:09:26Uh, I'm going to save it to desktop biology. Okay. Now, let's go to Gemini and say
412. 1:09:42um, we're going to go to nano banana create image. So, I'm going to say create a an eccentric female
413. 1:09:57biology professor who dresses like she grew out of the earth and evolved. D
414. 1:10:17just a little different than the rest of us. Um, she should be older with
415. 1:10:31wild glasses, wild hair, and a wild long coat.
416. 1:10:46Um, it should look like a magazine. Uh, let's see. A magazine studio photograph
417. 1:11:01of her on a white background. Okay. So, we're going to invent our professor. We got to name her, too. Here's your eccentric female biology
418. 1:11:17professor. Perfect. That's great.
419. 1:11:40That's a biology professor. I want. Okay. So, let's download her. We're going to download the full-size version of her.
420. 1:11:49Okay. Now, we'll go to 11 Labs. Okay. So, so wait. Step one was learn about biology. Cam Ken already has that.
421. 1:12:02I don't. So, in my case, I I had chat GPT learn me real good. Um, so you get your script, you record it. Okay, that
422. 1:12:11part she's already doing. So now what we're doing is we're going to design a persona and then we're going to design a
423. 1:12:19voice. Ah, okay. I got a good one. Here's what we're going to do. Watch this. This is going to be a blast. Okay, chat GPT.
424. 1:12:28So I'm going to I'm going to upload our wacky lady. Is that her? Wait. M4A. Oh, that didn't record my
425. 1:12:48Oh, no, that didn't record. God dang it. Hang on a sec. Tab. Yeah, I I'll get back to that in a second. I got to record this again. Hang
426. 1:13:02on a sec. New audio recording. Are you actually recording this? >> Are you actually recording this? Yes.
427. 1:13:17Okay. Delete. Um, I got to go find my script again, don't I? Uhoh. Did I lose my script? This is going to
428. 1:13:33suck. Here's chatpt. Oh, no I didn't. Okay, got it. All right. Am I still sharing? You can you can share the screen again. Am I still
429. 1:13:45sharing this? Yeah, I am. Okay. New audio recording. Life has always had one quiet obsession.
430. 1:14:02Getting out. From the first self-replicating molecules clawing their way out of chemical chaos to cells learning to slip the bonds of their
431. 1:14:11environments, biology is a long record of escape attempts. From entropy to limitation to extinction. God damn it. Shut up. Shut up.
432. 1:14:28This is this is this is education people. Okay. This is using AI in education in a non-cheing kind of way. It's a creative way.
433. 1:14:42Life has always had one quiet obsession. Getting out. From the first self-replicating molecules clawing their
434. 1:14:48way out of chemical chaos to cells learning to slip the bonds of their environments, biology is a long record
435. 1:14:55of escape attempts from entropy, from limitation, from extinction. Today, we'll explore what I call life's
436. 1:15:03escape velocity. The moment when a living system gains gains enough complexity, adaptability, or intention
437. 1:15:10to break free from the constraints that once defined it. It's not physics. It's biologyy's oldest instinct to transcend
438. 1:15:18the conditions that produced it. Okay. Does this did this work? >> Life has always >> Yes. Okay. save um biology.
439. 1:15:36Okay, so we're in chat GBT. So, I'm going to do new chat and then I'm going to go find our little biology picture, our cute little lady.
440. 1:15:46And where did she go? Did she go to this other desktop? No. Did she go to downloads? Yes. Right. Oh, am I not
441. 1:15:55sharing her? Oh, you can't see Windows. Okay, so I uploaded her. Failed to upload. Okay, fine. Let me try it again.
442. 1:16:03Calm down, everybody. Just calm down. Come on. Come on. Plus upload files. Cute lady. Okay, she's uploaded now. So
443. 1:16:18now I'm going to say um please tell me her name,
444. 1:16:35her story, and a detailed paragraph on what her voice sounds like because we're not only
445. 1:16:52going to pick a voice for her, we're going to design a voice for her. Oh, wait. Let me stop it. Um, I forgot to tell you she is a biology
446. 1:17:10professor. Okay, perfect. Let's weave her her name. Professor Eloan Brierhollow, chair of experimental botany and
447. 1:17:24symbiotic systems at the University of Alderfen. She is legendary, slightly infamous. Um, she specializes in symbiosis, fungal
448. 1:17:35intelligence, and microe ecosystem communication, which is actually pretty cool. The terranium. Okay. Blah blah
449. 1:17:41blah. What her voice sounds like? Her voice is an extraord extraordinary blend of warmth and mischief. A soft weathered
450. 1:17:48alto with a gentle rasp of someone who spent years lecturing. Okay, so we're going to grab this description of her voice
451. 1:17:59and we're going to go to 11 Labs and we're going to design it. An extraordinary blend. Okay. Um, so let's just go to 11 Labs
452. 1:18:16and then we're going to go to voices and we're going to go plus and we're going to design a voice. So
453. 1:18:24I'm going to grab this. I'm going to say an older professor. An older female professor with
454. 1:18:41an extraordinary blend of warmth with a voice that is an extraordinary blend of warmth and mischief. Can you see this? Yes,
455. 1:18:55we're good. All right. Fantastic. Bob. Hey, Bob. Yeah. Could you tell them what they've won? They haven't won anything. Okay. Um,
456. 1:19:10generate voice.
457. 1:19:29All right. So, don't forget, here's what she looks like. Let's go look at her. Um, >> good morning everyone. Today, we're
458. 1:19:41delving into the fascinating world of Micro Risal Networks. >> Good morning, everyone. >> That's it. Today we're delving into the
459. 1:19:51>> Good morning everyone. >> You too. >> Good morning everyone. >> Yeah, >> today we're delving into the fascinating
460. 1:19:58world of microisal networks. >> Wait, what's her name? We got to go get her name. Oh, I I I ate the the tab.
461. 1:20:09Does anybody remember her name? It was something Brier Hollow, wasn't it? Professor um Eloin Brier Hollow.
462. 1:20:23She's talking about fungi now. I know it it just came up with that based on the description. Um Eloan Brier Hollow. I think that her name
463. 1:20:37Hollow Hollow. Brier Hall. I don't know. Hollow. Hollow. Fine. Professor Ellen Prior Hollow language. He's going to speak English.
464. 1:20:54Um, okay. Save the voice. Oh, this is too much. Okay. So, let's see. Um, an eccentric professor of
465. 1:21:10biology. Okay. Biology. Save the voice. Okay. So, now we have the voice, right? So, now we're
466. 1:21:24going to take my eloquent reading of said script and we're going to put it in Professor Brier Hollow's
467. 1:21:36voice. And then we're going to take that and we're going to animate that picture. So, she actually does the teaching.
468. 1:21:45Is this Is this making sense, Cam? So, get your script, record it, design your voice, design your character. You can
469. 1:21:55also do multiple characters. That would be a fun thing to do. So, now I'm going to go to text to voice,
470. 1:22:03text to speech. Oh, no, wait. Oh, no. I need voice changer. I'm going to go to voice changer. I'm going to upload.
471. 1:22:16>> Life has always had one quiet obsession. Yep. Right. And then we're going to go grab Professor Lolen Brier Hollow.
472. 1:22:28Oh, we're going to do style exaggeration. We're going to do We're going to We're going to pull exaggeration up. All right.
473. 1:22:37Remove background noise. We don't need that. Speaker boost style exaggeration. Okay, here we go. Model V2. Can I do V3?
474. 1:22:45Apparently not. Fine. Fine. Be that way. All right, here we go. Voiceovers. Oh, 11 Labs also has a song generator
475. 1:23:00now, too. So, so they really are trying to become the everything app. >> Life has always had one quiet obsession.
476. 1:23:07getting out. From the first self-replicating molecules clawing their way out of chemical chaos to cells learning to slip the bonds of their
477. 1:23:16environments, biology is a long record of escape attempts. >> Let's try let's try to increase the exaggeration a bit more. Similarity
478. 1:23:26similarity can be low. Stability we'll leave alone. Let's generate this again. Two free generations.
479. 1:23:39Life has always had one quiet obsession. Getting out. From the first self-replicating molecules clawing their
480. 1:23:46way out of chemical chaos to cells learning to slip the bonds of their environments. Biology is a long record
481. 1:23:52of escape attempts from entropy, from limitation, from extin. >> All right, we're gonna try we're gonna try something here. So, I'm going to
482. 1:23:59download that one. So, we've got that one in the can. So, that one's good. But I want to gra go grab the text of that
483. 1:24:06which I can do by going back in this tab. Right. Yeah. Not that one
484. 1:24:21here. So, we're going to do text to speech. So that was voice changer that I just did because what you might also be able
485. 1:24:30to do Cam is not even have to record it, just write it. And then let's see. And then here we are.
486. 1:24:44So we're going to go text to speech. All right. So this is 11 lives. Okay. So watch this is really cool. Watch this. So, I paste in her
487. 1:24:58the thing I recorded and then this is using um 11 Labs V3 which has a lot more um nuance to it. LinkedIn comment. I thought Elon Musk
488. 1:25:09said X was the everything app regardless. Um that's amazing that they have song generation. Now I'm stuck. I
489. 1:25:17was stuck on producer AI. Well, so so first of all, I think producer AI is amazing. Um, it's worth trying 11 Labs
490. 1:25:24song generation. Um, but I don't know if you heard earlier, Sunny, 11 Labs now also has image and video generation.
491. 1:25:32Like, it's just it's bonkers. Um, and then Sunno, if you haven't played with Suno, like Sunno is also really
492. 1:25:39really good. Okay. Um, I also tried Matthew McConna heard is is an investor in 11 Labs and just licensed his voice.
493. 1:25:47Yeah, correct. Him and Michael Kaine. So, 11 Labs. Okay, here's a here's a whole other thing that is happening that I find mindbending
494. 1:25:57and incredibly cool and there's so much opportunity for all of us here. Every every creation platform
495. 1:26:08are essentially also becoming studios or labels, right? So, 11 Labs now has a division. I forget what it's called.
496. 1:26:18It's like the the um the famous voice division or something like that. It's like it's it's a fancier name than that,
497. 1:26:25but it's basically like if you're a famous person, you can cut a deal with 11 Labs where they will sample your
498. 1:26:32voice and then license it out to everyone and you never have to [ __ ] read another thing. Anyway, so this
499. 1:26:37thing right here, so so version three, I pasted in the text and now I'm going to hit this enhance button. So before I
500. 1:26:42generate the speech, I'm going to hit enhance. And what it's going to do is it's going to put in Oh, it didn't it didn't add anything.
501. 1:26:51That's weird. Okay. So, let's see. I'm going to put I I'll manually type them. Mysterious.
502. 1:27:06So, mysterious. Life has always had one quiet obsession. Then I'm going to put dramatic. getting out and then I'm going to put
503. 1:27:19um clears throat um from the first self-replicating molecules and then I'm going to say um dramatic
504. 1:27:39and then I'm going to go um inviting. So I'm basically giving acting notes, right? And then I'm going to go stern at the
505. 1:27:55end here. Okay. Generate speech. And so it'll be interesting to compare these two. I have a feeling this is going to be much better. So
506. 1:28:04>> life has always had one quiet obsession. >> No, that's awful. >> Getting out. Life has always had one quiet obsession. Getting out.
507. 1:28:18From the first self-replicating molecules clawing their way out of chemical chaos. >> Why do they not have a speed setting? This is bad.
508. 1:28:28>> Um, try voiceover. Try studio 3.0 history. Reset values. and it was all clicky and shitty. All right, we'll use mine.
509. 1:28:41That's fine. Whatever. Okay, so now let's go to Hedra because Hedra Hedra right now is the one for me that is the the one where you can
510. 1:28:54do some a decently long script. I forget. I don't know what the limitation is. Might be three minutes, might be five.
511. 1:29:03They do have a speed setting. Okay, cool. Sounds like videos used to be so slow. Yeah, I know, right? I wanted to use AI
512. 1:29:10to change my voice with my lectures. Spice it up a bit. Okay, so we're going to go home. Why is Hedra broken? Hedra.com.
513. 1:29:22Okay, let's Okay, so video. Okay, so we're using the Hedra character model and then I'm going to add the
514. 1:29:32character. So, we're going to upload an image. And we're going to go find her girlfriend, Eloen Brier Hollow.
515. 1:29:42And then we're going to add the speech. And so this is going to be the voice swap I did of my acting.
516. 1:29:49>> Life has always had one quiet obsession getting >> There you go. All right. And then I'm going to go um the professor um
517. 1:30:05lectures her students um with uh high energy. I don't know what that
518. 1:30:22means. I don't know if that's actually going to do anything. But now it's going to go make us a video. All right. I've done I've done our
519. 1:30:34lecture formats, but switching to micro lectures Yeah. might be fun. Yeah. Yeah. I think I think that's what's cool about micro
520. 1:30:43lectures, Cam, is that you can there's all sorts of ways you can repurpose them and you could make little like each
521. 1:30:50little micro lecture could be a different person or you could have like you could come up with like eight
522. 1:30:57different characters that when you're talking about entropy, it's always the entropy chaos dude, right? When you're
523. 1:31:04talking about, I don't know, um, chemistry, you could have a chem chemical dude. I don't know. There's all
524. 1:31:11sorts of fun stuff you could do with it. It depends depends how much time you want to put into it. But like so so
525. 1:31:19actually Cam, what you're hitting on here is I'll I'll come back to this. Let me go full screen for a second. Brandon,
526. 1:31:27um what Cam's hitting on here is something that I am I am newly obsessed with, but I haven't I haven't started doing it myself. I think I'm
527. 1:31:38going to make this part of my daily practice with AI, which if you don't have a daily practice with AI, you need
528. 1:31:43to join the AI salon mastermind and join the practice lab. And so, we're we're helping people design a daily practice
529. 1:31:51centered around their use of AI. What you're hitting on is something that I think is tremendously exciting and we as monotasking
530. 1:32:08humans have never had to think about which is this. For any idea that we want to put into the world right now, we think in
531. 1:32:19linear ways we think in single outputs, right? I'm going to write a book. I'm going to give a lecture. I'm gonna make
532. 1:32:26a movie. I'm gonna create an app. I'm going to create a business. Right? We think in these kind of mono monot track.
533. 1:32:33It is it's the rare person that thinks multimodally. We're I would argue that we've entered it already, but it's going to get easier
534. 1:32:44and easier and easier. the the like like right now the the little professor character that I I just created I had to go to I I used chat GPT
535. 1:32:54I used Gemini I used 11 labs I used Hedra and then I went back and and within 11 Labs I used two two tools and within
536. 1:33:06chat GPT I used one or two right so that simple little example there's four tools already it's going to get to the point
537. 1:33:13where you'll be able to use any tool just seamlessly like the friction is just going to drop. And what it means is we can have an idea
538. 1:33:22like you could have an idea for a lecture cam where it could be okay I'm going to give them the traditional
539. 1:33:28lecture and that's available on YouTube. It's the one hour thing. I'm going to do the micro dramas and those are going to
540. 1:33:34be Tik Tok format and I'm going to put them into a special vertical university, right? And the only thing in vertical
541. 1:33:42university is, you know, the the lectures can be no longer than five minutes and it's vertical scrolling and
542. 1:33:48it's you learn things based on what's recommended to you based on the curriculum you signed up for, right?
543. 1:33:53It's a nonlinear linear thing, right? But then I'm also going to create um a 3D animation. I'm going to create a
544. 1:34:02video game where you actually enter the world and you experience the concept that I'm teaching you and we're going to
545. 1:34:08make a song about it. We're going to make it we're going to choreograph a dance about it. We're going to create an
546. 1:34:13app that allows you to explore it. That's you can explore it with flashcards or repetitive concept exercises or visual somethings. Right?
547. 1:34:27Imagine for any idea any of us have getting into that mental state where you're not thinking about a single
548. 1:34:34output, but you're thinking about what are all of the possible ways that would be relevant to my audience.
549. 1:34:42And like there's no consideration of time or effort because it will essentially be effortless. But what will take time is you coming up
550. 1:34:53with well, what's the idea? What do I want to communicate? Who am I communicating with? What would be
551. 1:34:59interesting to them? What are my values? Are we going to have like sexy TNA ladies or are we going to have like, you
552. 1:35:06know, eccentric old professors? That's a choice we get to make, right? That's the human component, right? The most important piece of what
553. 1:35:18we do is our contribution to it, not the technology. The technology will be sitting there. It's it's fine. It's
554. 1:35:28going to get better. It's going to be awesome. What are you doing in the world? Right? And then and then imagine getting to to
555. 1:35:37sort of a mental nimleness, doing a daily practice, practicing daily, not just putting out a single output. Today, I'm going to put out
556. 1:35:47three outputs. Tomorrow it's going to be five. The next day it's going to be one because I'm tired and I don't give a
557. 1:35:53[ __ ] Right? All right. Let's go look. We've got our We've got our lady. Let's look at what we got here, peoples.
558. 1:36:02All right. All right. Fantastic. Here's our little lady. >> Life has always had >> one quiet obsession, getting out. From
559. 1:36:16the first self-replicating molecules clawing their way out of chemical chaos to cells learning to slip the bonds of
560. 1:36:22their environments, biology is a long record of escape attempts from entropy, from limitation, from extinction.
561. 1:36:31Today, we'll explore what I call life's escape velocity. The moment when a living system gains gains enough
562. 1:36:37complexity, adaptability, or intention to break free from the constraints that once defined it. It's not physics. It's
563. 1:36:45biologyy's oldest instinct to transcend the conditions that produced it. >> How cool is that? Come on. You understand what I'm saying here,
564. 1:36:58people? Like >> life has always had one quiet. >> We live in this world. We live in this world now.
565. 1:37:15We live in this world. I teach biology online. I'm looking for ways. Yeah, there you go. What do you think, Cam? You like our little girl?
566. 1:37:27I'm going to I'm going to post her, too. You are so creative. It's awesome. Oh, thank you, Fabiana. I appreciate that.
567. 1:37:35Um, is she moving? I missed it. Yeah, it I couldn't zoom in enough. So, I'll I'll upload her to to my ex channel and then
568. 1:37:45she needs a Cleveland rocks t-shirt. She does. Brandon, you gota you got to hook up Cam. Um, her her movement is really cool.
569. 1:37:53She's she's holding this this terrarium bowl and at one point she sort of, you know, lifts it with one hand in kind of
570. 1:38:00a weird kind of way, but like her the little sticks in her hair are moving. It's pretty cool. All right. So, let me
571. 1:38:06um let me upload it to um to X and you know, watch me lose my [ __ ] again. Okay. Um meet Professor
572. 1:38:20Lol. What was her name? Something hollow. Brier Hollow.
573. 1:38:36Tonight on the AI learning lab live stream, we explored how to make
574. 1:38:50a an online and online lecture. lecture more interesting for the for today's youth.
575. 1:39:13She was invented with um we'll go at chatgpt Uh what else did we use?
576. 1:39:30Um at 11 Labs. So let's say we'll do script script
577. 1:39:46name voice description chat GPTU
578. 1:40:04and then we'll do um voice design and voice swap 11 labs,
579. 1:40:21right? And then um character design. Uh character uh
580. 1:40:37yeah, character design. Yeah. Uh at Gemini and then at nano banana
581. 1:40:55nano banana and then um come on
582. 1:41:10animation at Hedra, right? And then we'll tag Robert Scoble because he likes these kind of things.
583. 1:41:24Um, she was created with, let's say, well, I'll say she was invented with human imagination amplified
584. 1:41:38with chat GPT1 11 Labs. All right, beautiful. Let's go grab her. I didn't mean it like that. We're not going to actually grab her. Come on,
585. 1:41:50people. Get your minds out of the gutter. Y'all weirdos. Why can I not edit the name of that? Oh, because I'm I see. Never mind. Fine.
586. 1:42:03We'll let it have a weird name. Uh uh uh 0% error error. We got an error. We're going to try to post her. This is awesome, Kyle.
587. 1:42:19Thank you. You're welcome. You are welcome. Did we get up? Did we do it? Error. No. Post. Let's try again.
588. 1:42:31We're going to We're doing the uh We're doing the Twitter shuffle. I'm trying to get it to uh not suck.
589. 1:42:41Um where did I save her? Downloads. Yes. All right. So, we're going to do export as 720p. We'll go professor
590. 1:42:57Brier Hollow desktop. save.
591. 1:43:12I know you I know you're all waiting for me to upload something. I am trying. Okay. 2% 1% 9% 0%. Error. Awesome.
592. 1:43:31This is the best. You know what's fun? Hey, hey, Elon Musk. You know what's awesome? Um, when I spend an hour creating a
593. 1:43:4315-second video that's super cool that I want to share with the world on your awesome platform and then I spend
594. 1:43:50another [ __ ] hour trying to upload it. So cool. That's so RZ. It's like I feel jacked.
595. 1:44:09I forgot how good the Grock video tool was. Yeah, the Grock video tool is really cool. 50%. We might get there. 60%. This might
596. 1:44:18happen. I think it's going to happen. I think Elon heard us. He's like, "Go ahead, put his upload through. Let's
597. 1:44:25just do it. Let's just let Kyle get Yeah, there we go. Beautiful. Beautiful. Fantastic people. All right. Here. Cam
598. 1:44:33Catkin. Here we go. Listen. Watch again. I'm gonna zoom in on her. Let's see. Let's see. Here we are. There
599. 1:44:41we are. Here she is. She's fantastic. >> Escape attempts. >> All right, let me Can I zoom? >> Life has always had one quiet obsession.
600. 1:44:50Getting out. From the first self-replicating molecules clawing their way out of chemical chaos to cells learning to slip the bonds of their
601. 1:44:59environments, biology is a long record of escape attempts from entropy, from limitation, from extinction.
602. 1:45:07Today, we'll explore what I call life's escape velocity. The moment when a living system gains gains enough
603. 1:45:13complexity, adaptability, or intention to break free from the constraints that once defined it. It's not physics. It's biologies.
604. 1:45:23>> Yes, Sunny. I I am sharing a screen. So, if you're not seeing it, that's weird. You should see a live stream with me in
605. 1:45:29a circle and professor Professor Brier Hollow right on screen here with me. >> The oldest instinct to transcend the
606. 1:45:40conditions that produced it. Life has always had one quiet obsession. getting out. >> From the first self-replicating
607. 1:45:50molecules clawing their way out of chemical chaos to cells learning to slip the bonds of their environments, biology
608. 1:45:57is a long record of escape attempts from entropy, from limitation, from extinction today. >> All right, there you go. So, do me a
609. 1:46:06favor. Go to uh go to uh the Twitter and look me up. I'm Kyle Shannon and and go find the professor.
610. 1:46:16She's so cool. And Cam, feel free if you want to share her tomorrow. I know it's kind of [ __ ] script there. Um but um
611. 1:46:23but if you want to share her tomorrow and just talk about how that was put together, maybe get ideas from your
612. 1:46:28students about what they'd like. That could be fun. That was my second grade teacher. I'm seeing that. Oh, it was an old message.
613. 1:46:36Okay, cool. Oh, yeah. Then I was probably not sharing my screen. I am famous producer Brandon. His sole job in the
614. 1:46:43world is to babysit me. and if I'm sharing the right tab or not. And usually the answer is no. I'm not sharing the right tab.
615. 1:46:53What does she have in her hands? It's a it's a little uh like a little um a fishbowl terrarium. So, it's got like
616. 1:47:01dirt in the bottom and little plants in it. And she's holding this little terrarium in her hands. It's really cool.
617. 1:47:07And like her, this is a very Corey Sandler. I don't know if Corey Sandler's here tonight, but this is a very Corey
618. 1:47:12Sandler kind of character. So good. She just she's [ __ ] whack attack. Look at her. And she's got fairy wings, too. It's the best.
619. 1:47:27>> Life has always had one quiet obsession. Getting out. From the first self-replicating molecules clawing their
620. 1:47:34way out of chemical chaos to cells learning to slip the bonds of their environments. Biology is a long record

622. 1:47:51living system games >> so good. She She's intelligent. She's wacky. So good. All right. Cool. Um, all right.
623. 1:48:02I got to get out of here. I'm I am I am whip tired. And uh but that was fun. Um, thank you for the good inspiration
624. 1:48:09there, Cam. That's a fun one. Um, and and you know, for everyone here again, you know, I I want to take you
625. 1:48:18back. There's there's two things I want you to pay attention to. One is tell everyone you know about AIFest. So, AIFest.com
626. 1:48:29or Brandon will pop it up on screen right here. Um, December 26th and 27th, 9:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. Pacific time, noon to midnight
627. 1:48:42Eastern, Friday and Saturday. Um, it's going to be remarkable. It's going to be We're going to just have amazing
628. 1:48:50speakers. It's going to be amazingly inspirational. So, that's one thing. And it's free. So, like seriously, you
629. 1:48:57should [ __ ] invite your family. Like all the people that are like, "Could you stop talking about AI?" No. How about we
630. 1:49:02go spend 12 hours with people that are transforming their lives with AI? Aunt Martha, you little mini,
631. 1:49:17you big tub of dumb. Let's Let's get you Let's get those brain cells fired up and get you into chat. JPET.
632. 1:49:26Um, so I want you to do that. And then the other thing I want you to do is I really want you to start thinking about
633. 1:49:31designing for yourself a daily practice centered around how you use AI. And I don't care if you do it in the AI
634. 1:49:41salon, great. But whether you do an AI salon or not, what the good thing about the AI salon is we're doing this thing
635. 1:49:47called the practice lab where once a week you can come and we're using this framework we created to help everyone
636. 1:49:53design an incredibly powerful daily practice. But you can do it on your own. It just means being intentional.
637. 1:50:02But get yourself in reflection mode. Get yourself in curiosity mode. Get yourself in build mode where you're doing
638. 1:50:09excellent work. And then get yourself in service mode where you're sharing with other people. You're generously leading.
639. 1:50:16You're asking questions of others. You're sharing the stuff you've built. Like we just shared the little professor here, right? Um
640. 1:50:29the technology is irrelevant. We're important. Technology is remarkable, but it's this background capability. It's not a
641. 1:50:40foreground capability, right? If you put AI in front of you, then we're confronting it. We're competing with it. It will take our
642. 1:50:49jobs. It will suck. But if you put it behind you, put you in the center and say, "Here's what I want to do. Here's my values. Here's the the
643. 1:51:00way I want to change the world. And now I'm going to tap into my knowledge of AI to take those ideas and blow them out.
644. 1:51:09That's going to change the [ __ ] world. All right. So, that's what I want you thinking about tonight. Beautiful.
645. 1:51:15Another great session. Thank you, Sony. I appreciate that. Okay. Um, yeah. I'm gone. I'm out. Think about that [ __ ]
646. 1:51:26Sleep on that. Put that in your pipe and smoke it. Angry Gen Xer signing out. Peace. All right. Later, everybody.
