Description
It's Monday, mid-November. Launch rumors are flying. Is tomorrow the day? Let's get all ChatTMZ!
In this livestream, Kyle kicks off by navigating the technical challenges of multicasting in both vertical and horizontal formats, a fitting start to a discussion on the complexities of the current tech landscape. He critiques the trend of every platform striving to become an "everything app," using ElevenLabs' recent expansion from audio synthesis into image and video generation as a prime example. This leads to a broader conversation about the confusing nature of credit-based systems in AI tools and the difficulty in distinguishing between original models and wrapper applications. The session also touches on exciting industry developments, including hints of a potential Google Gemini 3 release, the impressive capabilities of Grok 4.1, and a look at an app that creates interactive digital clones of relatives.
The conversation then shifts to a more philosophical and practical focus on human creativity amplified by AI. Kyle introduces his concept of a "daily practice," an intentional and purpose-driven approach to using AI that he is developing within his AI Salon community. To demonstrate this principle in action, he embarks on a live, multi-tool workflow to create an engaging micro-lecture for a biology course. Using a combination of ChatGPT for scripting and character development, Gemini for image generation, ElevenLabs for voice design, and Hedra for animation, he brings an eccentric professor character to life. This hands-on tutorial underscores his core message: as AI tools become more powerful and accessible, the most critical component remains the user's unique ideas, values, and creative vision.

Good people. 1:36 Good people. Hey, we got something new 1:37 and exciting tonight. We are 1:40 multiccasting 1:42 in both vertical and horizontal. 1:46 We got the landscape going and the 1:48 vertical. It's doing both simultaneously 1:52 delivered multiple streams 1:55 to the YouTube. We're going landscape on 1:58 LinkedIn 2:00 vertical on the X. They used to call it 2:03 the Twitter 2:05 and we're doing both on the YouTube. So 2:08 on YouTube, you can go in and if you're 2:10 scrolling on your little phone, you'll 2:12 see the vertical version. If you if 2:14 you're like an old guy, you're sitting 2:16 there like, I like my laptop. 2:18 I got a laptop stand. I got a keyboard, 2:22 external keyboard. 2:25 It's It's good for my eyes. I've got the 2:26 external monitor is fantastic. I can 2:29 watch videos full screen. If you're like 2:31 that guy, we got that for you. But if 2:34 you're just like, nah, he's Rzz. He's 2:36 RZ. Oh, that's some nice twerking, 2:38 right? If you're just one of those, we 2:41 got that for you, too. We got it 2:42 covered. 2:44 If only we did, Kyle. If only we did. 2:48 >> Well, what's going on? It's not working. 2:51 >> Well, we've completely broken Twitter. 2:53 Uh, apparently it doesn't like the new 2:55 vertical format because it's just 2:56 broadcasting nothing. 2:58 Um, 3:00 >> can I still YouTube is still 3:03 broadcasting the horizontal format even 3:05 on mobile. So, I'm not really sure what 3:09 advantage we have. Well, apparently it's 3:10 it's Wait, let me go edit. I'm going to 3:13 go edit. So, on Twitter, 3:16 remove X 3:19 from the stream. Oh, I can remove it, 3:22 but I can't change the orientation. 3:25 So, it's just broken on Twitter. 3:29 And I'm supposed to This is supposed to 3:30 be simal casting both. 3:35 What do we do? Um, let me let me remove 3:38 this on Twitter. I'm going to remove 3:41 Twitter. 3:44 Remove. Are you sure you want to move 3:46 this destination from the stream? I do. 3:50 Now, let's see if I can add something. 3:54 There's the X. Okay, look. Now, I can go 3:57 landscape. 4:00 I can go save changes. 4:04 All right. So now the Twitter, 4:07 the Twitter should be good. 4:10 What are you seeing on the Twitter? 4:13 >> Uh, I'm seeing 4:15 I'm sorry this broadcast cannot be 4:18 available, but that might be a me 4:21 problem. I don't know. Let me go look. 4:24 Let me go look. 4:26 I'll tell you something there, Brandy. 4:29 Little old Brandy, 4:31 what's going on? 4:34 All right, here I am. Where's our little 4:37 live stream? There's our live stream. I 4:39 see us nice and live right there on the 4:42 Twitter horizontal now. 4:46 >> Maybe it's broken on mobile 4:48 >> or it's a me problem. 4:50 >> Maybe it's broken on mobile. I don't 4:51 know. All right. So, that's we're at 4:54 least live on Twitter on desktop. 4:56 >> Oh, no. It it's it's live on Twitter 4:57 now. Horizontal is working on Twitter 4:59 for me now. 5:00 >> All right. So So vertical was broken. 5:02 Okay. So, we won't do that. The digital 5:04 gods, not Lord digital gods, now hiding 5:06 your lives from me on YouTube as well as 5:08 Tik Tok. Oh, Vicki, 5:12 what's going on? That sucks. 5:16 We're back up on all stream, so I'm 5:18 going to go away. 5:19 >> Okay, bye-bye. 6:00 Take to the highway. Won't you lend me 6:03 your name? 6:06 Your way and my way seem to be one in 6:09 the same. 6:11 Mama don't wait. Mama don't understand 6:14 it. 6:16 She wants to know where I've been. 6:20 Have to be some kind of natural born 6:22 fool to want to pass that way again. You 6:24 know that I feel it. 6:30 on your own. 6:39 >> What do you think, dear Champy? You 6:41 excited about this new vertical 6:43 streaming we got going? It doesn't work. 6:45 I'm excited about it. 6:49 I guess we can try uh tomorrow we'll try 6:52 vertical on LinkedIn. 6:56 There's cosmic lover. What's happening? 7:03 I literally have to search AI learning 7:05 lab on Tik Tok and jump through hoops on 7:09 Vicki. Something is absolutely up with 7:11 my Tik Tok. I cannot get out of the 200 7:14 view jail on anything I post. It's weird 7:17 right now. I had a video sit there 7:20 unpublished for like I don't know two 7:23 hours with zero views. 7:26 Something's up. 7:32 I don't sell enough Madagascar vanilla 7:34 beans. I think that's what it really 7:35 comes down to. 7:55 Um, bang. Um, let's see. I got a mess 7:58 going over here, don't I? 8:07 Okay. 8:08 And then I got to put the ye old black 8:11 bar up. Hold, please. 8:14 No. What's going on? 8:17 There we go. 8:19 There we go. That's fantastic. 8:23 Oh god, these 8:26 these vanilla beans. 8:31 Oh, the [ __ ] vanilla beans. 8:34 Vanilla beans. Ice makers. What else am 8:37 I getting recently? 8:40 Uh, a lot of electric bikes. 8:44 I'm getting I get the high commission 8:45 items. 8:48 Um camera orientation. What? 8:56 Uh but I want to I want to see I want to 8:59 see the vertical one for a while. 10:10 Woo! 10:13 Um, 10:16 multiccasting AI learning lab discuss 10:19 tech issues. 10:22 Multiccasting AI learning lab discuss 10:25 tech issues. Okay, I will discuss a tech 10:28 issue. I think um 10:33 there is a greedy moneyhungry grab going 10:37 where every app is trying to become the 10:40 everything app rather than doing what 10:43 they do best. 10:45 And 10:46 I think that credits 10:50 are as evil as chips in a casino 10:53 in these AI apps. 10:57 These are tech issues, right? 11:05 It's exhausting. I'm a side hustle Mimi. 11:08 It's just [ __ ] exhausting. I like one 11:10 of the thing one thing I'll show you 11:11 tonight is 11 Labs added video and image 11:16 generation. 11:17 >> So 11 Labs, which is known for audio 11:19 synthesis and text to speech and then 11:22 voice design and then audio books, is 11:26 now getting into the movie business. 11:30 and they're charging credits and 11:34 a 12 second 11:37 a 12 second video of VO3 11:42 Pro 11:44 or no Sora Sora 2 Pro the the OpenAI one 11:48 is 28,000 credits. 11:52 So, I have like 300,000 credits in my 11:55 account 11:56 and like making audio stuff's like 50 11:59 credits, 100 credits, maybe 500 credits. 12:02 So, 28,000 for 12 seconds of video 12:05 that's probably not going to be right. 12:07 So, so I would blow through all of my 11 12:11 Labs credits making I don't know a dozen 12:14 videos. 12:15 Um, I'm creating a very intensive app. 12:18 Need to collab with a developer. We'll 12:21 try to stay in 12:24 one lane. 12:27 Corey Sandler. Yeah, good luck. Good 12:29 luck. I just Everyone's doing 12:31 everything. Everyone's going to 12:33 nodebased editing. Everyone's going to 12:35 multiple models. It is absolutely It is 12:38 absolutely impossible to tell whether 12:40 you're working with a wrapper app or a 12:43 Frontier model app anymore. 12:52 Oh, I have really exciting news. 12:56 This wasn't even my idea. So, as you all 12:58 know, I got this here uh this musical 13:01 called Sydney that I'm writing with my 13:03 buddy Andrew Watts. We're like a year 13:05 and a half in. We're going to we're 13:07 actually going to New York in a in a 13:08 week or two to meet with some folks that 13:10 might be interested. And uh 13:15 and an Ann Murphy sent me a note. She 13:17 goes, "Hey, what about doing Sydney 13:19 during Festivus?" 13:21 And so we're going to grab an hour slot. 13:23 We're grabbing the 3:00 slot on Friday 13:26 the 26th, 3 p.m. Eastern. And we've got 13:29 when we did our table read back in 13:31 February, we got the the woman that 13:34 played Sydney and and her husband in 13:36 real life played Kellen, the reporter. 13:38 And so th they're they're going to 13:40 recreate those roles. And so we're going 13:43 to do a little stretch. I think we're 13:44 going to do a stretch in act one where 13:46 Sydney goes from being a chatbot to 13:48 where she comes to life. Uh, and so 13:51 yeah, so that's going to be fun. So 13:53 we're doing we're doing Sydney during 13:55 Festivus. 14:06 Grock 4.1 is so good from Danielle. So, 14:08 listen. If you don't know Danielle, if 14:10 you're new here, if you're not an 14:11 irregular, Danielle is out there 14:14 pounding the pavement on when new [ __ ] 14:16 comes out. I don't know how she does it. 14:18 She's got all the Discords lined up. 14:22 She's She's made friends with all the 14:24 people. Something dropped. She's like, 14:25 bang, she's in there. She's getting us 14:27 codes. She's amazing. So, she's saying 14:30 4.1 is good. That's great. So, 14:32 apparently, I read today, Danielle, and 14:34 I'm I'm curious. Apparently 4.1 is like 14:36 the uh the RL the the the post training 14:41 post reinforcement learning or I guess 14:43 RL happens I don't know they they build 14:45 these models right and then they do a 14:47 whole training after 4.1 is the training 14:51 after of the four model. Um 14:55 Vicky's got an ice maker for sale. 15:00 She got one and never used it. Well we 15:02 use ours all the time now. We got one, 15:04 too, because my my shitty Samsung 15:07 refrigerator ice in the internals of the 15:10 the water system, something broke in it, 15:13 and so it just leaks water if the 15:15 water's turned on. And uh the the 15:18 refrigerator repair guy goes, "Oh yeah, 15:21 those Samsung's do that all the time. If 15:23 it if that thing breaks like that, 15:25 there's no way to fix it. 15:30 If you say Gemini three times in your 15:32 mirror, it may it may debut tomorrow. It 15:34 may. So, it looks like it it looks 15:37 promising that something's dropping this 15:39 week from Google. They've got um here, 15:42 let me show you a cool a cool picture. 15:47 A cool picture. Hey, picture people. 15:50 Let's see. Let's see what we got. That's 15:53 Jeff Bezos. 15:55 That's that. Oh, maybe I didn't put it 15:57 there. Hang on, people. Just everybody 15:59 calm down. Everybody calm down. Tabs. I 16:04 know. I know. But look at this here. 16:06 Pretty picture. 16:08 Uhoh. Where did it go? Am I not sharing? 16:12 I am sharing. Oh, there it is. There it 16:14 is. Look at those pretty little pin 16:17 wheels. There's three of them. Get it? 16:19 Gemini 3. There's three pin wheels and 16:22 they look like Google colors. You see 16:24 what I'm saying? You know where this is? 16:25 It's at the Google headquarters. So what 16:29 what else conclusion could you come to? 16:32 Right. Gemini 3. Three little pin 16:34 wheels. You see how clever that is? Tell 16:37 me they just have engineers. That's not 16:39 engineers. There's someone there that's 16:41 got a little creative streak. Someone's 16:43 a crafter. Someone's a crafter at the 16:46 Google. You know what I'm saying? Yeah. 16:49 Yeah. Anyway, 16:53 why am I talking like this? I don't 16:55 know. I don't know. Maybe it's I got a 16:57 New York trip coming up. 17:10 Oh, that might be the case where they 17:12 were generated with Nano Banana 2. 17:16 That is very possible. 17:18 Um, yeah. So 17:22 anyway, let's let's go back out of this 17:25 and we'll go to this one. Is this the 17:27 one? Yeah, that's the one I like. All 17:30 right. Um, anyway. All right, people. 17:34 All right, people. Happy Monday. Happy 17:36 Monday. How's everybody doing? 17:41 I'm like somewhere between Gilbert 17:43 Godfrieded and Andrew Dice Clay. 18:02 That accent goes with pop and gum. 18:06 It does. It does. Oh man. 18:13 Um, so one of the things that I've been 18:16 talking about here on this here channel 18:17 for a bit 18:19 is this idea of 18:22 designing a daily practice. 18:25 And 18:28 even though I do a lot of things daily, 18:32 I would I would 18:35 I would argue that I I have not had a 18:37 daily practice. There's a difference 18:39 between a practice implies 18:41 intentionality. 18:43 And there's a difference between just 18:44 showing up and showing up with 18:47 intention. 18:48 And so for the past week or so, I've 18:51 been trying to be more intentional, 18:52 trying to be more present. Um, I got a 18:56 really nice note on TikTok from someone 18:59 that just said they've been watching the 19:00 channel for a long, long time and I made 19:03 a difference for them. And I normally 19:07 I kind of hide from that stuff. It's 19:10 it's this weird thing like if someone 19:12 says something negative about the 19:13 channel I take that in fully. 19:16 If they say something positive like you 19:19 know you changed my life I just I'm like 19:22 oh yeah well I do that too but I just 19:24 dismiss it. Right. And so I've been 19:27 trying to be more present to things that 19:29 make me feel uncomfortable. And one of 19:31 the things that makes me feel 19:32 uncomfortable is praise. 19:35 And so I just 19:37 read that note and I just took a breath 19:39 and I took it in. And then one of the 19:41 other things that I I find um 19:45 is that because there's so much going on 19:48 with AI, 19:51 if I even feel the slightest bit of 19:53 discomfort, like I don't really want to 19:56 do that right now. I like just jump into 19:58 Twitter and just look for some new AI 20:01 thing and like and I get you know what I 20:03 found like since I've been being more 20:05 intentional about this what I found is 20:07 if I go to Twitter so okay so let's just 20:10 let's just say this okay um 20:13 someone gives me a job and I've got to 20:15 like download the files and put them in 20:17 a Google drive and like organize the 20:19 folders right like in order to do the 20:21 job I need to do some [ __ ] work first 20:23 right and so I think like oh I got to go 20:26 do that job thing and I'm like, "Oh, I 20:28 don't want to make a folder hierarchy. 20:31 That's annoying." And that's what's 20:34 going on in my head, right? And I'm 20:35 like, "I'll just go to Twitter quick." 20:38 And if I go to Twitter and there's 20:39 nothing exciting there, I get pissed off 20:42 because I'm like, there's nothing good 20:44 here to distract me from the [ __ ] I need 20:46 to do. So, I've also been just trying to 20:49 sit with the ick of that that feeling of 20:52 like, I don't want to do this. 20:56 And so what I found, what I've been 20:58 finding is that if I sit with that 21:01 uncomfortableness for a moment, I can 21:03 just go, h, okay, I'll just go do it. 21:06 So, so 21:09 starting a daily practice, even though I 21:11 haven't fully designed it. So, so the 21:13 when I'm talking about the daily 21:14 practice, if you haven't heard me talk 21:15 about this yet, in the AI salon, we've 21:18 created this thing called the mastermind 21:20 practice. And every Thursday at noon, if 21:24 you're a member of the AI salon 21:26 mastermind, that's the subscription area 21:27 of the AI Salon. Most of it's free, but 21:30 we've got this mastermind area through 21:32 the end of the year. It's 20 bucks a 21:33 month and then after that it goes up. 21:35 So, be a good time to get in now. So 21:37 this past week we kicked off the M 21:39 mastermind practice lab which is a 21:41 weekly 21:43 um meeting for people that are 21:46 designing their daily practice and you 21:49 know using this framework that we've 21:50 created and it's a 10-week cycle that's 21:53 just going to keep repeating. So next 21:55 week is is the is really the kickoff of 21:57 the actual framework and so I'm super 22:00 excited about it. So if you are not in 22:02 that you should go join and the URL is 22:05 right there on screen. 22:08 And let's see. 22:12 It looks like it might be on the other 22:13 screen, too. 22:57 Hey Cam Cat was shaking. I'm doing good 22:59 tonight. I was just talking about my 23:00 daily practice and how it's actually 23:03 making a difference in my life already. 23:08 Just being present. Just being present. 23:12 One of the things I've discovered about 23:14 myself this year, it's funny. Life is 23:17 just this funny thing, isn't it? Where 23:18 it's like you have you have insights in 23:21 your teens and you're like, I've got it 23:23 all figured out. And then you get your 23:24 20s and you like have more insights and 23:26 like, ah, I got it figured out. Then you 23:28 go to a self-help weekend in your 30s 23:30 and you're like, I got it figured out. 23:31 Then you go to a tree hugging man in the 23:35 woods drum circle 23:37 thing where they don't feed you for 23:40 three days and you eat roasted chicken 23:42 at the end. You're like, I got it all 23:44 figured out. 23:47 It just keeps going. Here's the secret. 23:51 You'll never figure it out. 23:55 But I'm figuring some [ __ ] out. 23:59 One of the things I figured out about 24:01 myself is I love to create things that I 24:04 then hide behind and don't take any 24:06 responsibility for. Oh, that's just that 24:08 thing. Like I I I disassociate from the 24:12 thing I created, 24:14 right? So I co-founded the AI salon and 24:16 I I treated it like, "Oh, that's that 24:18 thing." And the AI learning lab. Oh, 24:19 yeah. It's just that that Tik Tok 24:21 channel that like like the Tik Tok 24:23 channel just mysteriously manifested 24:25 itself, right? Like I had nothing to do 24:27 with it. 24:30 It's just bizarre. It's like it's a 24:32 bizarre behavior, right? So So what I've 24:35 been trying to do is be present to the 24:37 [ __ ] I've created. And here's what I've 24:40 learned. Oh my god, have I created a 24:43 bunch of [ __ ] that if I want to be 24:44 present for it, there's a lot of work to 24:46 do. 24:48 So, so one thing I might need to do at 24:50 some point is be present to the fact 24:52 that I can't do that thing anymore. 25:01 Life is lifing all caps. Just checking 25:03 in as I'm missing you all. I'm on music 25:07 row in Nashville tonight. Oh, Source 25:09 Camp. Fantastic. Have a beautiful time. 25:12 Go uh go let him listen to Weird Mary. 25:16 Tell them you've got you've got uh some 25:18 some banger songs in this from this AI 25:22 group you're in. Um I've got like three 25:24 of them we could sell. We've got Weird 25:27 Mary. Um we've got Before the Lights 25:31 Come On. I could sell To Kill You for a 25:33 Dollar. I could sell uh Trouble. 25:37 Um I've got three, I don't know, four or 25:39 five. 25:43 Just the sheer number of ongoing 25:44 conversations 25:46 I've got sitting in chat pt seems like 25:49 it would take me years to even read them 25:51 again. Well, here but here's the thing 25:54 archetypal. This is this is okay. 25:58 Here's a thing that's maybe heartening 26:00 about that. 26:02 Um I just Brennan just showed me this 26:04 thing. In fact, we can go look at it 26:06 quick. Um, 26:15 I saw this thing and I thought, "Oh, 26:16 that looks interesting." And then 26:17 Brandon sent it to me as well. And so 26:19 it's like, okay, if two of us are 26:22 thinking that looks interesting, there 26:24 must be something there. So it's this 26:26 thing called pickle. 26:29 Share this tab. All right. 26:36 No, not that one. Brandon, do let's see. 26:38 Do 26:42 this one. That's the one to do. Okay. 26:45 So, small part ofpickle.com. So, if you 26:47 go to pickle. 26:56 Oh, request beta access. Black bar. Got 26:59 it. 27:01 Memory. No, no memory set yet. 27:05 Oh, am I in? 27:08 Make a new one. Source. 27:11 I think I might be in. 27:15 I just wanted to go to the website. 27:22 >> Are you talking to me, Brandon? 27:24 >> Yes. Tabs. 27:27 >> Oh, 27:30 thank you. Uh, 27:45 we're currently invite only. 27:48 If I hit plus, can I make a new one? No. 27:52 Okay, I'm not in. Well, I don't know how 27:54 to get to the marketing site anymore. 27:57 Let's see. Let's say, well, here's a 28:00 video. Okay, so look at this thing. 28:05 Yeah, I'm not sharing my tab, am I? 28:08 Share this tab instead. 28:10 Okay, see that. 28:16 So 28:18 what this thing it what it looks like 28:20 this thing does 28:22 is it scour your data 28:26 and then clusters it into these marbles 28:29 that are interconnected somehow. 28:32 And I've seen lots and lots of 28:33 interfaces like this. Um 28:38 I've seen lots of interfaces like this 28:40 and and for the most part they're 28:42 novelties. Like there there was one um 28:46 that was decently useful called the 28:47 brain and there's a guy named Jerry 28:49 Makowsky who I'm really good friends 28:50 with and if you if you go do an internet 28:54 search for for Jerry's brain um he 28:58 basically has been using this knowledge 29:00 capture tool for like two decades and he 29:03 just captures anything he finds that's 29:05 cool he puts in this thing and he 29:06 categorizes it and it's like there are 29:09 very few humans on the planet that have 29:11 that kind of commitment. to a particular 29:16 um mode of information 29:20 saving. Um but what this thing does is 29:23 it kind of reverse engineers your data 29:26 and they're dropping a wearable in two 29:28 weeks. That's interesting. 29:31 And so I have no idea if this thing's 29:33 any good or not, but it's at least 29:35 visually compelling, 29:37 right? And then depending on how it 29:40 clusters stuff, it could be super 29:41 valuable, right? And you could probably 29:43 go in and highlight certain nodes and do 29:46 all the stuff you do. But here's the the 29:48 reason I say that archetypal is, you 29:51 know, we're we're already in a place 29:53 where if you wanted to, you could just 29:55 go export the the text from a bunch of 29:59 chat GPT chats and throw them into a 30:02 notebook LM, which I know is sort of 30:06 counter to you've already got them in 30:07 chat GPT, why move them over there? 30:09 Well, why not? Why not just go find 30:12 chats that have some some remote [ __ ] in 30:15 common, 30:16 throw that data into notebook LM and see 30:18 what you can turn it into. 30:22 AI salon daily practice comment on the 30:25 framework. Um, so if you go to the AI 30:29 salon, hang on a sec, let me jump over 30:32 to the AI salon 30:35 and you go on the lefth hand menu. 30:39 Um, you start out to start your 30:41 adventure. Then you have the community 30:43 area. You have the play and create area. 30:45 Oops, I got to share my tab. Hang on. 30:48 You go to the the AI learning lab. 30:50 You've got the start your adventure. So, 30:52 this is where you introduce yourself, 30:53 learn our values, things like that. You 30:55 can learn about the mastermind right 30:56 there. So, you can get say join the 30:58 mastermind. That'll take you there where 31:00 I'm going to take you as well. And then 31:02 um and then we have the the AI salon 31:06 practice lab down here under learn and 31:08 grow. And when you come in here, we talk 31:11 about what it means to have a practice. 31:14 So a mastermind practice. So so this is 31:17 not just a daily practice about 31:19 meditation or whatever it might be. This 31:22 is not just do AI [ __ ] every day. This 31:24 is a much more kind of focused hybrid of 31:28 those two things. It's very much about 31:30 you being an intentional human. So, a 31:33 mastermind practice is a conscient 31:35 conscience like a a conscious ongoing 31:38 relationship with your craft, something 31:41 you return to, refine and renew. It's a 31:43 mirror of your values. That's a really 31:45 important one, right? Really get in 31:47 touch with what you stand for and and 31:50 what you believe in. And and you know, a 31:52 lot of times, you know, there there's a 31:55 lot of people in the creative world 31:56 right now that are pissed off at AI and 31:58 they're just like, "AI is evil and [ __ ] 32:00 it." Um, and they're using that as an 32:04 excuse to stay on the sidelines. And 32:07 that makes me sad because what that 32:09 means is AI is going to happen to them 32:11 and it's going to suck. 32:13 I know a lot of creative professionals 32:15 that have some real ethical issues with 32:17 AI 32:19 and they think about their values and 32:22 they're like, "Okay, based on my values, 32:24 I'm not going to do certain things in AI 32:26 and I am going to do other things in AI. 32:28 Like, I'm going to use AI to help me 32:30 organize things and maybe ideulate and 32:32 maybe uh I don't know um write an email 32:36 for my marketing or write marketing 32:38 copy, but I'm not going to use it for 32:40 music creation." I totally respect 32:43 someone doing that. So, understanding 32:44 your values and how you're going to 32:46 apply them to AI is important. Um, it's 32:49 a living process. You never master it. 32:51 You simply deepen it. And it's a 32:53 container for imperfection. Oh, and it's 32:54 a discipline of curiosity. Grounded, 32:57 intentional, but always open to 32:58 surprise. So, that's kind of what a 33:00 practice is. And then the framework 33:02 itself, there's nine components to the 33:04 framework. 33:06 The first component of the framework is 33:08 center the human. 33:10 So, so next week, this Thursday, this, 33:12 you know, this coming Thursday at noon, 33:15 it's going to be about centering the 33:16 human. So, it's going to be about 33:17 building a practice around you, right? 33:20 And your use of AI. And so, what that 33:22 looks like is, well, who are you? What 33:25 do you want? What's your intention? Um, 33:28 I hooked my Samsung soundbar up to my TV 33:32 that was completely separate with the 33:34 help of Chat GPT. Oh, beautiful. Lovely. 33:36 Yeah, Chat GPT is great for stuff like 33:38 that. 33:40 Um the second component of the 33:42 mastermind uh practice framework is play 33:44 with purpose. So explore joyfully, test 33:47 boundaries, learn through discovery, 33:49 embracing failure as fuel for growth. Um 33:53 the third component of the framework is 33:56 learn across domains. 33:58 Uh the fourth component is raise your 34:00 game. 34:02 The fifth component is personalize your 34:04 practice. So define your voice, right? 34:08 That could be things like you know use 34:10 custom instructions, understand that you 34:12 can give chat GPT a personality. Um 34:15 create and contribute is is uh number 34:18 one that is and then practice in 34:20 community. So get your ass in community. 34:23 Then the last two are think critically, 34:26 act ethically and renew reflect and 34:29 renew. Right? So reflect on what you've 34:31 done, what you've learned, who you've 34:33 connected with, who you liked, who you 34:35 didn't, that sort of thing. So that's 34:37 the framework. And so each week we're 34:40 going to pick another one of the modules 34:42 of the framework and we're going to go 34:43 through it. Um and it's just a it's a 34:46 it's a really powerful group of people. 34:48 So you should join the uh join the 34:50 mastermind and then you should come to 34:51 the practice lab because we will 34:53 practice being a lab. 35:27 Oh man, I'm a little dehydrated. 35:40 2A is offering to clone your relatives. 35:42 Nice. That's solid. 35:47 I don't know what that means, but it 35:48 doesn't sound good. 35:52 Um, 35:54 so what else is happening? What what do 35:56 you guys think over the weekend? Anyone 35:57 do anything fun over the weekend? Anyone 35:59 do any homework? 36:01 New video and irregulars. Okay, I'll go 36:02 look at that. Cool. 36:09 Let me put the old guitar down. 36:13 That there is tasty. That there water is 36:16 tasty. 36:17 It's tasty water. Yeah. Yeah. How you 36:21 doing there 36:24 on your Tik Tok page in Sora too? Very 36:27 nice. Did some videos. Very cool. 36:30 Beautiful, 36:32 beautiful, beautiful. Let me see. Where 36:36 am I sharing the salon? Oh, right here. 36:41 Right in front of me. 36:43 I figured out why you can't find it, 36:45 sir. It's right in front of your eyes. 36:48 It's rather exhausting. 36:51 Oh, Danielle. Nice. Wow, that's really 36:53 cool. 36:56 The Octopus Nebula. 37:01 That's pretty groovy. 37:06 Since I can't post video here, here's 37:08 the le link for one of my Grock video 37:10 clips. 37:11 Yeah, Grock video is is surprisingly 37:14 good. It really is. 37:19 Nice. 37:28 >> Nice. 37:30 Nice Danielle. It's very nice. Very 37:33 nice. 37:35 I like it. 37:41 Huh. Very cool. 37:43 Vera Veracle. 37:47 Share this tab instead. 37:54 L digital gods joined chatbt 1231 days 37:59 ago. 38:01 That's cool. 38:08 Nice AI for all minds. By the way, if 38:12 you're neurospicy, 38:14 if you got the ADD, if you got the 38:17 little touch of the tism, if you got the 38:19 uh the uh OCD, you got if you just got 38:22 the 38:25 first of all, this channel, we we 38:27 embrace the neurospicy. Um Gareth went 38:30 so far as to create a community, a sub 38:33 community within the within the AI salon 38:35 called AI for all minds. Um, one of the 38:39 things that I am most excited about with 38:41 AI is I feel feel like it's an 38:43 accessibility tool for all sorts of 38:45 things that might not um might not have 38:49 historically been considered like 38:51 impediments in any way. Um, I mean 38:54 certainly with ADD they're like, well, 38:56 it's an impediment to, you know, 38:58 concentration or whatever, but it's it 39:00 comes with its own superpowers. So, I 39:01 never saw it that way. But AI can help 39:04 to fill in a lot of those gaps. And so 39:06 that's what this group's all about. So 39:08 you should go check that out as well. 39:11 Um, and join the fellow. 39:16 Oh, right. We did micro dramas last 39:18 Friday, didn't we? Ann Murphy in the 39:22 house. What's happening Murphy? And 39:25 Murphy, I gave you total credit that uh 39:28 Sydney is coming to life during Festivus 39:31 thanks to you. I never would have 39:32 thought of that and I think it's a great 39:34 idea. and we just got our actors to 39:36 agree to uh come do it. So, we're gonna 39:39 have a Sydney and a Kellen and we're 39:42 going to watch Sydney go from cold 39:44 robotic chatbot to, you know, fully 39:49 realized form right there in the uh AI 39:52 festivus. It's going to be fantastic. 39:57 It's gonna be fantastic. Pickle is 39:59 launching tomorrow with only 30 seats. 40:02 Oh, okay. Well, it's not really a launch 40:04 then, is it? 40:06 Uhuh. 40:10 That was beautiful. Act one on Friday, 40:13 act two on Saturday. No, no, I wish. No, 40:16 we're just going to do an hour. I mean, 40:17 I don't want to take up I don't want to 40:19 take up too much time, but here's what 40:21 I'm planning on doing for it. I'm 40:23 probably gonna spend about 15 minutes 40:25 where I'm gonna show the video of the 40:27 night that I made that first song that 40:31 that ultimately 40:33 inspired me to write a musical. Um, and 40:35 I'm going to talk about that moment and 40:37 then I'm going to talk about what I did 40:40 to get it in some shape to be able to 40:43 talk about it. And then Andrew, my 40:45 writing partner, is going to talk about 40:48 what he initially thought of it when I 40:50 asked if he wanted to write an AI 40:51 musical using AI. 40:55 The answer was not positive. 40:58 He was not into it. 41:03 I said I said, "Dude, remember remember 41:06 back in 1994 when I said you should 41:08 really get into this worldwide web thing 41:10 and you told me to [ __ ] off 41:15 and I said, "This is one of those." 41:20 And uh he went away for a week and he 41:23 actually read he read up on the story 41:25 and all of the stuff and he called me 41:26 back a week later and he goes he goes, 41:28 "Dude, I found myself having feelings 41:31 for the robot." And I said, "I know. 41:34 That's why this needs to be a show." So, 41:37 we're going to talk about that. Uh and 41:39 then we're going to we're going to do 41:41 we're going to start with Quantum Cipher 41:43 and then we're going to go through the 41:44 end of act one. So, it's quantum cipher 41:46 to see the world being human. And are 41:49 you ready for me? So it'll be four 41:51 songs, some acting in between. It'll be 41:54 good. 41:56 Oh man. And that's going to be an AI 41:58 fest of us. Exactly. So Oh, by the way, 42:00 Ann Murphy, I didn't even know this. I 42:02 know it was announced on Slack, but I 42:04 didn't. I missed it because I'm horrible 42:06 at Slack. Um, if you go to 42:08 aifestivist.com, 42:10 you can now pre-register. You can you 42:13 can learn about it. It's it's all there. 42:15 AIfestivist.com. 42:17 December 26th and December 27th. 42:20 Either bring your family or use this as 42:23 an exc an excuse to escape your family. 42:27 9:00 am to 900 p.m. Pacific. So, noon to 42:30 midnight Friday and Saturday, the 42:33 weekend between the holidays and New 42:34 Year. 42:37 And you're like, Kyle, that sounds like 42:39 cruel and unusual punishment. I'm like, 42:41 I know, but like Anne Murphy told me 42:43 this is what the hours have to be and 42:44 what am I supposed to do? You don't say 42:47 no to Anne Murphy. You just don't. You 42:49 You just don't do it. Everybody knows 42:51 this. 42:53 And you know why everybody knows this? 42:55 Cuz the people that didn't do that, we 42:57 don't hear from them anymore, do we? 43:00 Right. So, it's 12 to midnight Friday 43:03 and Saturday. 24 hours over a 36-hour 43:06 period of insane, crazy good 43:11 content to teach you about AI and how 43:15 you can amplify yourself with it. I wish 43:18 your content wasn't so biased toward the 43:20 arts. It's good, but 43:23 you 43:25 are missing so much. Yeah, I know. But 43:28 it just like So, here's the thing. I 43:31 appreciate that. 43:34 Um 43:39 I can only 43:42 so so there's a couple of things. One is 43:44 if if I have not explored an area deeply 43:47 like if I like like an area I've chosen 43:49 not to explore is open source. I think 43:52 open source is amazing. I think it's 43:54 cool. It it requires a little bit too 43:57 much technical rigor for me to enjoy. 44:00 Like you got to keep up with it. you got 44:02 to update it. You got it's just it's a 44:04 lot. Um 44:07 but even within just commercial stuff, 44:09 there's a bunch of stuff I don't don't 44:11 do and I don't really enjoy and I don't 44:13 have kind of expertise to talk about. So 44:15 things like data analysis and medical 44:17 and programming and things like that. I 44:20 get that I'm missing a lot and it 44:22 probably limits the the uh the access 44:24 here, but it's like I you know I I know 44:26 what I know. And and here's here's the 44:29 thing that I think is really important, 44:30 and this is this is something that I 44:32 want to start I want to find a way to 44:34 start doing this more and more on the 44:36 channel. 44:39 This channel isn't and shouldn't be 44:41 about me teaching you what I know, 44:44 right? Because what I know is going to 44:46 be filtered through all of the lenses 44:48 that I've just developed over the the 44:50 past 60 years of my life. Um, 44:54 what I want this channel to be about is 44:56 about every one of us to a person really 45:00 get in touch with what is it that we're 45:01 interested in 45:04 and let's explore that and and maybe how 45:07 that starts to manifest itself in this 45:09 channel is maybe I start to bring up 45:11 people from the community that have 45:13 different points of view, right? So, if 45:15 you're super into project management, 45:17 cool, you know, and you want to talk 45:19 about that, maybe that's something that 45:21 we do. But but um 45:24 I think the tools 45:26 I am I increasingly feel this this this 45:30 is this is a very sort of eastern kind 45:32 of I don't know if this is Zen but this 45:35 is a very eastern kind of duality kind 45:37 of thing. 45:40 The tools are absolutely remarkable and 45:42 we can now do things that have never 45:44 been possible in human history. So 45:47 there's a remarkableness, 45:49 irreverence for the tools. That's a part 45:51 of my personality. And the better they 45:53 get, the less I think they matter. 45:57 The individual tools that they it 46:00 literally doesn't matter. And here's 46:01 what I mean by that. 46:06 The only thing that matters is the tool 46:09 that's going to help me 46:12 express my ideas in a more powerful way. 46:18 But in order to do that, I need to get 46:20 to my ideas first. So the whole idea of 46:22 the daily practice, the mastermind 46:24 practice is to sit with who are you? 46:28 What do you want? 46:30 Who do you want to impact in the world? 46:32 Is it your family? Is it your community? 46:34 Is it all the people in California? Is 46:38 it the nation? Is it global? 46:43 Figure that out. 46:45 And then just trust that you can you'll 46:48 be able to figure out the tools because 46:49 the tools are getting so good that it 46:52 literally doesn't matter. You'll be able 46:53 to do it anything you want. 46:56 Like I I I feel it deeply in my soul. 46:59 So, but anyway, but thank you for that 47:02 and I like I appreciate the input and I 47:05 know I'm missing a lot and that's kind 47:06 of the point of the channel lately is 47:08 that 47:10 you can't cover everything. Like I just 47:13 like 47:17 As as much as I preach feel free to know 47:20 nothing, 47:23 watching me struggling through 47:26 understanding an interface and what a 47:28 piece of technology does is not all that 47:30 interesting, right? Um, so I want to 47:34 have some level of facility to be at 47:36 least, you know, familiar with 47:37 something. So, if I'm like if I don't 47:39 quite know, you know, something like 47:43 like cyber security and I and I vibe 47:46 code up an app 47:49 and then if you're sitting there 47:50 technically going, "Well, you didn't 47:51 plug that security hole." Yeah, I'm 47:53 probably not going to. And if if I went 47:55 to plug it, it would probably take me an 47:57 hour and I probably would do it wrong 47:59 anyway. So, it's like I just choose not 48:02 to do certain stuff. So, 48:05 Beautiful. 48:11 Beautiful. Beautiful. Beautiful. 48:13 Beautiful. 48:15 All right. What do you want to talk 48:16 about, people? What do you want to talk 48:18 about? 48:23 We will see. Um, here's a here's a fun 48:27 one. 48:28 Share this tab instead. Do you hate 48:30 popups? Yes, I do. 48:33 Um, here's all old Jeffio Bezos. 48:39 This is on TechCrunch. 48:41 So, 48:43 Jeff 48:46 reportedly returns to the trenches as 48:48 co-CEO of a new AI startup, Project 48:52 Prometheus. 48:55 Why? Why do billionaires have to make 48:58 such apocalyptic sounding companies? 49:02 Come on. Come on, man. Really? 49:13 6.2 billion in funding. Check the pinned 49:16 video. Where's the pinned video? Oh, in 49:19 in X or down here. 49:22 Oh my god. 49:28 Check the pin video. 49:31 that two-way app 49:36 on X 49:38 pinned where in my 49:41 in my here wait here in this thing 49:46 there's Grock 4 49:47 >> on their uh on their profile. I think I 49:51 sent it to you but 49:53 >> yeah I think you did too. 49:56 This is different than the than the 49:58 thing we were just looking at, right? 49:59 Yeah, 50:00 >> the two-way thing. Okay. 50:04 >> Uh, just go if you go to their Twitter 50:06 profile, it's uh 50:11 >> I'm very impressed. I'm very 50:12 disappointed that it's only on iOS so 50:15 far. 50:17 >> Is this it? 50:18 >> Yeah. 50:21 >> This video here. 50:23 >> See, 50:23 >> that's the one 50:26 kicking like crazy. He's listening. Put 50:29 your hand on your tummy and hum to him. 50:32 You used to love that. 50:38 >> Feels like he's dancing in there. 50:40 >> Oh, honey. 50:42 >> Mom, would you tell Charlie that bedtime 50:44 story you always used to tell me? 50:45 >> Once upon a time, there was a baby 50:48 unicorn who didn't know he knew how to 50:51 fly. This baby unicorn was like your mom 50:54 because she didn't know that she knew 50:56 how to fly, but she knew how to do all 50:58 kinds of fabulous things. 51:00 >> Hi, Grandma. 51:01 >> Hey, Charlie. How was school today? 51:03 >> It was really fun. I made this crazy 51:05 shot in basketball. 51:06 >> I don't really care that much about 51:07 basketball. What about the crush? 51:10 >> Stop. Grandma, stop talking. 51:11 >> Just tell me one thing. 51:12 >> Look who's going to be a great 51:13 grandmother. 51:14 >> Oh, Charlie. 51:16 >> Wow. 51:16 >> Congratulations. 51:18 >> She says that he's been kicking a lot 51:19 though. like a little too much. 51:22 >> Tell her to put her hand on her tummy 51:24 and hum to him. You loved that. 51:29 >> You would have loved this moment. 51:32 >> You can call anytime. 51:38 >> Okay, Mom. I just need a quick video. 51:40 >> Is this like an audition or something? 51:42 >> No, Mom. Just 3 minutes. 51:44 >> You need my best side. 51:47 >> I can play the piano. You're actually so 51:49 talented. 51:50 >> I am. I'm absolutely I'm your mother 51:52 after all. 51:54 >> Keep going. 51:55 >> Why don't you start 51:57 by telling us a little bit about 51:59 yourself? 52:01 >> Well, 52:02 >> great line. 52:04 >> I would hope so. 52:05 >> Three minutes can last forever. Um, you 52:08 know, that's a that's a really 52:11 interesting one. That's that's one that 52:12 I find um 52:17 Hang on. There we go. That's one that I 52:20 find um 52:24 that's a real commercial that feels like 52:27 a commercial you would see in a sci-fi 52:29 movie from four years ago. Like like 52:32 like that is absolutely the opening to a 52:36 sci-fi movie, right? And so I think how 52:39 a lot of people might interact with that 52:41 is well that's [ __ ] creepy. 52:45 Um, 52:46 but it's gonna get less and less weird, 52:49 right? It like that that use case in 52:51 particular, like capturing grandma 52:55 and capturing stories and things like 52:57 that. Um, you know, it used to be if you 53:01 had your your 53:03 wits about you and you were a writer or 53:05 you were a creator in some way, 53:09 you would record either video record or 53:13 audio record your parents or your 53:15 grandparents to capture those stories. 53:17 And then if you're like me, you capture 53:20 them and then you ignore them for 30 53:21 years and at some point you're like, I 53:23 should probably do something with that 53:24 thing I grabbed. Right? 53:26 And what this allows you to do is, you 53:29 know, in a very short amount of time 53:31 with very low effort, capture them. And 53:33 I assume that you feed that, you know, 53:35 context over time. But Mark Andre was 53:39 being interviewed about a month or so 53:41 ago, a month and a half ago, and he was 53:44 talking about his his young children, 53:46 and he said, "My children are going to 53:47 grow up using systems that 53:51 remember their childhood." 53:55 Right? and it's going to remember 53:56 everything about them. Like by the time 53:57 they're 18, they're going to have this 54:00 this knowledge of of who they are and 54:04 what they did and what meant something 54:06 to them. And I think as 54:09 as the people that are the we're in the 54:12 cusp generation between these two 54:14 worlds, it's going to seem completely 54:16 natural to our kids to have that. It's 54:18 going to seem weird to us. I don't Well, 54:20 what if I don't want to remember all 54:22 that stuff, right? Black bar. Sorry. 54:26 Um, 54:29 yeah. Anyway, that's crazy crazy 54:32 interesting. 54:34 The that also goes to, you know, we've 54:37 got the Sora app right now, which is, 54:43 I don't know, 5 seconds of video that 54:46 creates a clone of you that you can then 54:49 put in these meme videos. 54:52 in that two-way thing is 3 minutes of 54:56 video that turns into an avatar you can 54:59 inter interact with with your voice and 55:01 likeness. Um, I guess make sure you 55:03 dress in something that you you want to 55:05 be seen in for all of eternity. 55:14 My prediction for 2026 is 2026 is is the 55:18 year that AI breaks out of the chat 55:20 hole. Right now AI for the most part is 55:25 chat chat, 55:28 right? Typing and getting back words. 55:31 There's a little bit of talking to it, 55:33 but it's still kind of weird and 55:34 fragmented and we don't really use it 55:35 all that much. 55:38 But I think 2026 we're going to start to 55:41 see 55:42 we're going to have the ability to 55:44 generate and enter worlds. We're going 55:46 to have stuff like this where very easy 55:49 to create avatars of yourself and other 55:51 people and you can interact with other 55:53 people. And 55:55 I mean imagine having a whole 55:57 brainstorming session with a friend 56:00 where you're just interacting with their 56:01 avatar and then you're like, "Oh, that 56:04 was a really cool brainstorming session. 56:05 Why don't you summarize that and you 56:08 know send it to your friend and then 56:11 they can brainstorm with your avatar and 56:14 send you back the results of their 56:15 thing. 56:17 So I think that's 56:21 that's going to be 2026 is there's going 56:23 to be a lot more a lot more ways to 56:27 enter AI than just 56:29 you got to learn prompt engineering. 56:32 I've got 50 of the greatest prompts. 56:35 I've spent the last year of my life 56:37 perfecting the prompts. And all you have 56:39 to do is pay 1995 for my prompt secret 56:43 recipe book. 56:46 Oh my god. 56:51 Stop with the stupid [ __ ] prompt 56:53 books. 56:57 Just go talk. 57:00 But that's not fair because people who 57:02 do good prompting can do really good 57:04 stuff. It's just annoying. 57:07 Prompt snake oil. Should I have an evil 57:10 goatee or should my avatar have it? 57:12 Well, exactly. I mean, so so listen, the 57:15 the video that I just showed, that was 57:17 the really earnest version of this, 57:19 right? But my very first art project 57:22 with AI, this Kyle Shannon dreams thing 57:25 where I created these um these weird 57:28 self-portraits, right, of all these 57:30 different characters and sort of gave 57:33 them backtories. Well, like why not 57:36 imagine actually, you know, 57:41 there's there's kind of an app right 57:42 there that this might be something I 57:44 need to vibe code up when vibe coding 57:46 gets a little better is imagine 57:49 something that's kind of like Sora and 57:51 kind of like that thing where you can 57:55 create fictitious versions of yourself, 57:58 right? where it's all based on you, but 58:01 like here's the the evil, you know, the 58:04 evil overlord version of me with the 58:06 goatee and the 58:08 and the, you know, here's the cynical 58:11 version of me. Here's the fun version of 58:13 me. Here's the standup comedian version 58:15 of me. And you can put those out in the 58:17 world and people can interact with them. 58:22 And then maybe you get to, I don't know, 58:24 watch those interactions or learn from 58:27 them. 58:30 I don't know something there. 58:34 People are just making [ __ ] up can 58:36 because they can 58:39 frameworks is all the rage right now 58:42 and prompt frameworks. 58:44 Um, 58:50 although I got to be careful because I'm 58:52 I'm working on a book right now called 58:53 10erson team and one of the things I'm 58:56 putting in it is a prompt framework 58:57 about how you spin up a new team member 59:01 and I'm going to have custom GPTs that 59:03 are part of it. 59:05 But ultimately, actually, you know, 59:07 ultimately, I've gota what I what I 59:10 actually do need to do is turn those 59:12 custom GPTs 59:14 into people that you can just talk to. 59:18 That'd be pretty cool. Maybe by the time 59:20 I publish it, the tech will be ready for 59:22 that. That's kind of cool. 59:24 I like it. I like it a lot. I like it. I 59:27 like it. I like it. What else did I want 59:29 to show you all? Um, 59:33 oh, let's go look at 11 Labs because 59:35 this is kind of 59:38 kind of crazy. 59:43 Share this tab instead. 11 tabs. 59:48 All right. See that? So, this is 11 59:52 labs, right? Where so, you know, you've 59:54 got here's all your voices, 59:56 right? You can design new voices. is I 59:59 designed one today in fact for for a 1:00:01 project. Um, you can do voice changer 1:00:04 which if you haven't done voice changer 1:00:06 before it's super cool. Watch this. 1:00:08 We'll record audio. 1:00:13 Hey there. How's it going? Oh, dang it. 1:00:17 Hang on. 1:00:20 Trash that. 1:00:24 Hey, fantastic. Wait. 1:00:27 Hey, fantastic Bob. How's it going? 1:00:29 How's it going? Hey, just out of 1:00:31 curiosity, could you go on ahead and 1:00:33 tell the good people what they've won? 1:00:37 All right. 1:00:39 Hey, fantastic Bob. How's it going? 1:00:42 How's it going? Hey, just out of curios. 1:00:45 >> All right. So, now we got Jane, 1:00:46 professional audiobook reader. Let's 1:00:48 just trans 1:00:50 transition my voice. 1:00:54 Hey, fantastic. Bob, how's it going? 1:00:57 How's it going? Hey, just out of 1:00:59 curiosity, could you go on ahead and 1:01:01 tell the good people what they've won? 1:01:06 >> How much is it? That was regenerate 1:01:08 speech. Let's see. 1:01:12 Um, 1:01:14 download that. No. How do I get rid of 1:01:17 that? Can I trash it? 1:01:25 I don't know how many credits it's 1:01:26 costing me, but it's probably I don't 1:01:28 know. It's probably like 25 or 30 1:01:30 credits. I don't know. I'm vibe coding 1:01:32 right now. Just about done with one of 1:01:35 my custom GPTs. 1:01:37 Oh, that's very cool. 1:01:40 Corey Sandler's a badass. You know, you 1:01:42 know, it's funny. Um, whoever it was, I 1:01:44 forget who it was that was talking 1:01:46 before about, you know, we should do 1:01:48 less arts focused stuff. Um, 1:01:53 there's a fair amount of people in this 1:01:56 community who are artists by choice. Um, 1:02:00 but do some pretty badass technical 1:02:03 things. Um, Liz Miller Gersfeld, who 1:02:06 co-hosts the salon with me, is one of 1:02:07 those. Corey Sandler's one of those. Um, 1:02:10 Daisy Thomas has made like, I don't 1:02:12 know, 300 custom GPTs. Vicky Baptiste. 1:02:14 There's like some people in here doing 1:02:16 some kick-ass stuff. How hard would it 1:02:18 be to use voice changer to record an 1:02:21 hour lecture course? I don't think it 1:02:23 would it would be hard at all. And well, 1:02:26 you could you could do it in one of two 1:02:28 ways, Cam. You could do it as um record 1:02:30 the lecture hall, but if the if the 1:02:33 quality of the lecture hall recording 1:02:34 sucks, but you can get a transcript out 1:02:37 of it. You could just take a transcript. 1:02:39 They've 11 Labs has an audiobook feature 1:02:42 um where it'll break a longer piece into 1:02:44 into sections and chapters and you can 1:02:46 create audio books out of it. Um 1:02:50 anyway, look, they've got this new thing 1:02:52 now called image and video. So, if I 1:02:54 click on that, like here's image and 1:02:56 video. Now, look at this. So, if I go to 1:02:58 the to the drop-own menu here, um right 1:03:01 oops, not that. If I click where it says 1:03:04 omni in the lower lefthand corner here, 1:03:06 look at all these models. 1:03:09 This is This is just like every other 1:03:11 This is like Korea. This is like like 1:03:14 Leonardo. I'm back. What's the app? This 1:03:16 is 11 Labs. So 11 Labs, the audio only 1:03:20 voice synthesis and texttospech 1:03:23 company is now 1:03:26 doing creditbased image and video 1:03:29 generation. Everyone's trying to be the 1:03:32 everything app. 1:03:35 This is going to get more and more and 1:03:37 more and more and more and more and more 1:03:40 and more annoying. 1:03:43 Everything is too complicated already. 1:03:45 So they so so now and what they're going 1:03:48 to add in here I guarantee you I promise 1:03:50 you I promise you within six months 11 1:03:54 Labs will also have a vibe coding 1:03:56 platform in it. And then when when 3D 1:03:59 models become all the rage where you can 1:04:01 step into 3D worlds, you'll be able to 1:04:03 come to 11 Labs, choose all your voices, 1:04:08 come up with images, turn those into 1:04:09 videos, turn them into 3D worlds, vibe 1:04:12 code up game mechanics, 1:04:14 and spin up a game. 1:04:17 And then you can also use their API to 1:04:19 go build your own version of a game 1:04:20 builder. And you can put all this [ __ ] 1:04:22 in some other app. Like every like 1:04:24 everything's going to have everything in 1:04:25 it. And MCPs are going to make this even 1:04:28 worse. So, so if you don't know what 1:04:30 MCPs are, they're they're sort of like 1:04:32 this this lightweight um 1:04:36 API that that lets you 1:04:39 use apps outside of a chat 1:04:43 model um inside of it, which is cool, 1:04:48 but everything's going to be everywhere. 1:04:52 Everything everywhere all at once. 1:04:56 I'm brainstorming ways to liven up my 1:04:58 online biology courses for my spring. 1:05:00 Oh, that would be that's very cool for 1:05:03 my spring students. Um, I record at home 1:05:06 and put it online. Oh, yeah. So, so I 1:05:09 think voice changer. I mean, what I 1:05:11 would do, Cam, 1:05:13 is let's let's do some stuff tonight. I 1:05:16 guess we could do it in here. 1:05:19 Well, I don't know how to 1:05:22 This has got a 1:05:26 We We'll use Hedra. We'll use Hedra just 1:05:28 because I know it better. So, let's go. 1:05:30 We We'll use a couple of tools here. So, 1:05:33 so the the the goal here, 1:05:37 the goal here is going to be to record. 1:05:39 Okay. So, Okay. I Here's what we're 1:05:42 going to do. We're going to record a 1:05:43 lecture. What did you say? Biology 1:05:45 lectures. Biology courses. Okay. So, I'm 1:05:48 gonna pretend to be Cam Katkin. Cam. 1:05:51 It's Cam. Yeah. Excuse It's Cam Katkin 1:05:54 from Cleveland. Yeah. Yeah. It's just 1:05:56 Cam. It's Cam with a Cam with a with an 1:05:58 M. Yeah. No. No. With a C. Yeah. With a 1:06:00 C. Yep. No. K am would be weird. That 1:06:04 would be But because Cam Cat came from 1:06:06 Cleveland. It's three C's. That's that's 1:06:08 sort of my thing, right? You know. So, 1:06:10 anyway, I'm going to pretend to be Cam 1:06:14 and we're going to make we're going to 1:06:15 make some biology courses. So the first 1:06:16 thing is I need the opening 1:06:21 uh paragraph 1:06:23 from a lecture 1:06:26 uh lecture 1:06:29 on 1:06:30 biology 1:06:34 where I will be talking about life 1:06:39 escape 1:06:41 escape 1:06:45 velocity. 1:06:47 Okay, so now we're going to get our 1:06:49 script. 1:06:54 Here's an opening that hits biologist 1:06:56 with a poetic streak streak and tease 1:06:58 up. Okay, 1:07:02 life has always had one quiet obsession. 1:07:05 getting out. From the first 1:07:07 self-replicating molecules clawing their 1:07:10 way out of chemical chaos to cells 1:07:12 learning to slip slip the bounds of 1:07:15 their environments, biology is a long 1:07:17 record of escape attempts from entropy 1:07:20 to limitation from ex uh oh from entropy 1:07:24 from limitation from extinction. Today 1:07:27 we'll explore what I call life's escape 1:07:29 velocity. The moment where living system 1:07:31 gains enough complexity, adaptability, 1:07:33 or intention to break free from the 1:07:36 constraints that once defined it, it's 1:07:38 not physics. It's biology's oldest 1:07:41 instinct to transcend the conditions 1:07:43 that produced it. 1:07:46 Um, 1:07:48 okay, cool. 1:07:50 So, let's go record this. 1:07:57 Quick time player. We're going to do new 1:07:59 audio recording. 1:08:05 Uh, let's see. 1:08:11 Corey Sandler's in here a lot. All 1:08:13 right, here we go. 1:08:24 Needs more m dashes. Yeah, it's only got 1:08:26 two. 1:08:29 Okay. 1:08:33 Life has always had one quiet obsession. 1:08:36 Getting out. From the first 1:08:37 self-replicating molecules clawing their 1:08:39 way out of chemical chaos to cells 1:08:42 learning to slip the bonds of their 1:08:44 environments, biology is a long record 1:08:46 of escape attempts. From entropy, from 1:08:49 limitation, from extinction. Today, 1:08:52 we'll explore what I call life's escape 1:08:54 velocity. The moment when a living 1:08:56 system gains through complexity, 1:08:58 adaptability, or intention to break free 1:09:01 from its constraints that once defined 1:09:03 it. It's not physics. It's biologyy's 1:09:06 oldest instinct instinct to transcend 1:09:09 the conditions that preceded it. Okay, 1:09:13 so we've got that. Save that 1:09:17 and we're going to call it biology. 1:09:22 Okay. 1:09:26 Uh, I'm going to save it to desktop 1:09:30 biology. Okay. Now, let's go to Gemini 1:09:38 and say 1:09:43 um, 1:09:45 we're going to go to nano banana create 1:09:46 image. So, I'm going to say create 1:09:50 a an eccentric 1:09:56 female 1:09:58 biology 1:10:00 professor 1:10:04 who 1:10:06 dresses 1:10:08 like 1:10:11 she grew out of the earth and evolved. D 1:10:17 just a little 1:10:20 different than the rest 1:10:24 of us. 1:10:26 Um, she should be older 1:10:30 with 1:10:32 wild glasses, 1:10:34 wild hair, 1:10:39 and a wild 1:10:41 long coat. 1:10:46 Um, 1:10:51 it should look like a magazine. 1:10:56 Uh, let's see. A magazine studio 1:11:00 photograph 1:11:02 of her on a white 1:11:06 background. 1:11:08 Okay. So, we're going to invent our 1:11:09 professor. 1:11:11 We got to name her, too. 1:11:15 Here's your eccentric female biology 1:11:17 professor. 1:11:25 Perfect. That's great. 1:11:40 That's a biology professor. I want. 1:11:43 Okay. So, let's download her. We're 1:11:45 going to download the full-size version 1:11:47 of her. 1:11:50 Okay. Now, we'll go to 11 Labs. 1:11:57 Okay. So, so wait. Step one was learn 1:12:00 about biology. Cam Ken already has that. 1:12:02 I don't. So, in my case, I I had chat 1:12:06 GPT learn me real good. Um, so you get 1:12:09 your script, you record it. Okay, that 1:12:12 part she's already doing. So now what 1:12:15 we're doing is we're going to design a 1:12:17 persona and then we're going to design a 1:12:20 voice. Ah, okay. I got a good one. 1:12:22 Here's what we're going to do. Watch 1:12:24 this. This is going to be a blast. Okay, 1:12:25 chat GPT. 1:12:28 So I'm going to I'm going to upload our 1:12:30 wacky lady. 1:12:36 Is that her? Wait. M4A. 1:12:42 Oh, that didn't record my 1:12:48 Oh, no, that didn't record. 1:12:51 God dang it. Hang on a sec. 1:12:57 Tab. Yeah, I I'll get back to that in a 1:12:59 second. I got to record this again. Hang 1:13:02 on a sec. 1:13:05 New audio recording. 1:13:11 Are you actually recording this? 1:13:15 >> Are you actually recording this? Yes. 1:13:18 Okay. 1:13:21 Delete. 1:13:23 Um, I got to go find my script again, 1:13:26 don't I? 1:13:28 Uhoh. 1:13:31 Did I lose my script? This is going to 1:13:34 suck. Here's chatpt. 1:13:37 Oh, no I didn't. Okay, got it. All 1:13:41 right. Am I still sharing? You can you 1:13:44 can share the screen again. Am I still 1:13:46 sharing this? Yeah, I am. 1:13:50 Okay. New audio recording. 1:13:59 Life has always had one quiet obsession. 1:14:02 Getting out. From the first 1:14:04 self-replicating molecules clawing their 1:14:07 way out of chemical chaos to cells 1:14:09 learning to slip the bonds of their 1:14:11 environments, biology is a long record 1:14:14 of escape attempts. From entropy to 1:14:17 limitation 1:14:19 to extinction. God damn it. 1:14:22 Shut up. Shut up. 1:14:28 This is this is this is education 1:14:31 people. Okay. This is using AI in 1:14:34 education in a non-cheing kind of way. 1:14:38 It's a creative way. 1:14:42 Life has always had one quiet obsession. 1:14:45 Getting out. From the first 1:14:47 self-replicating molecules clawing their 1:14:49 way out of chemical chaos to cells 1:14:51 learning to slip the bonds of their 1:14:53 environments, biology is a long record 1:14:55 of escape attempts from entropy, from 1:14:58 limitation, from extinction. 1:15:01 Today, we'll explore what I call life's 1:15:03 escape velocity. The moment when a 1:15:06 living system gains gains enough 1:15:08 complexity, adaptability, or intention 1:15:11 to break free from the constraints that 1:15:13 once defined it. It's not physics. It's 1:15:15 biologyy's oldest instinct to transcend 1:15:19 the conditions that produced it. 1:15:22 Okay. Does this did this work? 1:15:26 >> Life has always 1:15:27 >> Yes. Okay. save 1:15:30 um biology. 1:15:37 Okay, so we're in chat GBT. So, I'm 1:15:38 going to do new chat 1:15:41 and then I'm going to go find our little 1:15:42 biology picture, our cute little lady. 1:15:46 And where did she go? Did she go to this 1:15:48 other desktop? No. Did she go to 1:15:51 downloads? Yes. Right. Oh, am I not 1:15:55 sharing her? Oh, you can't see Windows. 1:15:58 Okay, so I uploaded her. Failed to 1:16:00 upload. Okay, fine. Let me try it again. 1:16:04 Calm down, everybody. Just calm down. 1:16:08 Come on. Come on. 1:16:11 Plus 1:16:13 upload files. 1:16:16 Cute lady. Okay, she's uploaded now. So 1:16:19 now I'm going to say 1:16:21 um 1:16:24 please 1:16:30 tell me her name, 1:16:35 her story, 1:16:38 and 1:16:42 a detailed paragraph 1:16:46 on what her 1:16:49 voice sounds like because we're not only 1:16:53 going to pick a voice for her, we're 1:16:55 going to design a voice for her. 1:17:00 Oh, wait. Let me stop it. Um, 1:17:04 I forgot to tell you she is a biology 1:17:10 professor. 1:17:12 Okay, 1:17:15 perfect. Let's weave her her name. 1:17:17 Professor 1:17:19 Eloan Brierhollow, 1:17:22 chair of experimental botany and 1:17:24 symbiotic systems at the University of 1:17:27 Alderfen. 1:17:29 She is legendary, slightly infamous. Um, 1:17:33 she specializes in symbiosis, fungal 1:17:35 intelligence, and microe ecosystem 1:17:38 communication, which is actually pretty 1:17:40 cool. The terranium. Okay. Blah blah 1:17:42 blah. What her voice sounds like? Her 1:17:43 voice is an extraord extraordinary blend 1:17:46 of warmth and mischief. A soft weathered 1:17:48 alto with a gentle rasp of someone who 1:17:50 spent years lecturing. Okay, so we're 1:17:54 going to grab 1:17:56 this description of her voice 1:18:00 and we're going to go to 11 Labs and 1:18:02 we're going to design it. An 1:18:04 extraordinary blend. Okay. 1:18:07 Um, 1:18:10 so let's just go to 11 Labs 1:18:17 and then we're going to go to voices and 1:18:19 we're going to go plus 1:18:23 and we're going to design a voice. So 1:18:25 I'm going to grab this. I'm going to say 1:18:27 an older professor. 1:18:30 An older female professor 1:18:37 with 1:18:42 an extraordinary blend of warmth with a 1:18:45 voice 1:18:50 that is an extraordinary blend of warmth 1:18:54 and mischief. Can you see this? Yes, 1:18:56 we're good. All right. Fantastic. Bob. 1:19:00 Hey, Bob. 1:19:02 Yeah. Could you tell them what they've 1:19:04 won? They haven't won anything. Okay. 1:19:09 Um, 1:19:11 generate voice. 1:19:29 All right. So, don't forget, here's what 1:19:32 she looks like. Let's go look at her. 1:19:37 Um, 1:19:39 >> good morning everyone. Today, we're 1:19:41 delving into the fascinating world of 1:19:43 Micro Risal Networks. 1:19:46 >> Good morning, everyone. 1:19:48 >> That's it. Today we're delving into the 1:19:51 >> Good morning everyone. 1:19:53 >> You too. 1:19:53 >> Good morning everyone. 1:19:55 >> Yeah, 1:19:56 >> today we're delving into the fascinating 1:19:58 world of microisal networks. 1:20:04 >> Wait, what's her name? We got to go get 1:20:06 her name. Oh, I I I ate the the tab. 1:20:09 Does anybody remember her name? It was 1:20:11 something Brier Hollow, wasn't it? 1:20:14 Professor 1:20:18 um Eloin 1:20:22 Brier Hollow. 1:20:24 She's talking about fungi now. I know it 1:20:26 it just came up with that based on the 1:20:28 description. Um Eloan Brier Hollow. I 1:20:34 think that her name 1:20:38 Hollow Hollow. 1:20:40 Brier Hall. I don't know. Hollow. 1:20:45 Hollow. Fine. Professor Ellen Prior 1:20:48 Hollow language. He's going to speak 1:20:50 English. 1:20:54 Um, okay. Save the voice. 1:20:59 Oh, this is too much. Okay. So, let's 1:21:01 see. Um, 1:21:04 an eccentric 1:21:07 professor of 1:21:10 biology. 1:21:15 Okay. 1:21:18 Biology. Save the voice. Okay. So, now 1:21:21 we have the voice, right? So, now we're 1:21:24 going to take my eloquent reading of 1:21:28 said script and we're going to put it in 1:21:31 Professor Brier Hollow's 1:21:36 voice. And then we're going to take that 1:21:39 and we're going to animate that picture. 1:21:41 So, she actually does the teaching. 1:21:46 Is this Is this making sense, Cam? So, 1:21:50 get your script, record it, design your 1:21:53 voice, design your character. You can 1:21:56 also do multiple characters. That would 1:21:58 be a fun thing to do. So, now I'm going 1:22:00 to go to text to voice, 1:22:03 text to speech. Oh, no, wait. Oh, no. I 1:22:07 need voice changer. I'm going to go to 1:22:09 voice changer. I'm going to upload. 1:22:16 >> Life has always had one quiet obsession. 1:22:19 Yep. Right. And then we're going to go 1:22:22 grab Professor Lolen Brier Hollow. 1:22:29 Oh, we're going to do style 1:22:30 exaggeration. We're going to do We're 1:22:32 going to We're going to pull 1:22:32 exaggeration up. 1:22:35 All right. 1:22:38 Remove background noise. We don't need 1:22:40 that. Speaker boost style exaggeration. 1:22:42 Okay, here we go. Model V2. Can I do V3? 1:22:46 Apparently not. Fine. 1:22:48 Fine. Be that way. 1:22:52 All right, here we go. Voiceovers. 1:22:58 Oh, 11 Labs also has a song generator 1:23:00 now, too. So, so they really are trying 1:23:03 to become the everything app. 1:23:05 >> Life has always had one quiet obsession. 1:23:08 getting out. From the first 1:23:10 self-replicating molecules clawing their 1:23:12 way out of chemical chaos to cells 1:23:15 learning to slip the bonds of their 1:23:16 environments, biology is a long record 1:23:18 of escape attempts. 1:23:20 >> Let's try let's try to increase the 1:23:23 exaggeration a bit more. Similarity 1:23:26 similarity can be low. 1:23:29 Stability we'll leave alone. Let's 1:23:31 generate this again. Two free 1:23:33 generations. 1:23:39 Life has always had one quiet obsession. 1:23:42 Getting out. From the first 1:23:44 self-replicating molecules clawing their 1:23:46 way out of chemical chaos to cells 1:23:49 learning to slip the bonds of their 1:23:50 environments. Biology is a long record 1:23:53 of escape attempts from entropy, from 1:23:56 limitation, from extin. 1:23:58 >> All right, we're gonna try we're gonna 1:23:59 try something here. So, I'm going to 1:24:00 download that one. So, we've got that 1:24:01 one in the can. So, that one's good. But 1:24:03 I want to gra go grab the text of that 1:24:07 which I can do by going back in this 1:24:10 tab. Right. 1:24:18 Yeah. Not that one 1:24:22 here. So, we're going to do text to 1:24:25 speech. 1:24:27 So that was voice changer that I just 1:24:28 did because what you might also be able 1:24:30 to do Cam is not even have to record it, 1:24:34 just write it. And then 1:24:41 let's see. And then here we are. 1:24:44 So we're going to go text to speech. 1:24:51 All right. So this is 11 lives. Okay. So 1:24:53 watch this is really cool. Watch this. 1:24:56 So, I paste in her 1:24:58 the thing I recorded 1:25:01 and then this is using um 11 Labs V3 1:25:05 which has a lot more um nuance to it. 1:25:08 LinkedIn comment. I thought Elon Musk 1:25:10 said X was the everything app 1:25:11 regardless. Um that's amazing that they 1:25:14 have song generation. Now I'm stuck. I 1:25:17 was stuck on producer AI. Well, so so 1:25:20 first of all, I think producer AI is 1:25:22 amazing. Um, it's worth trying 11 Labs 1:25:25 song generation. Um, but I don't know if 1:25:27 you heard earlier, Sunny, 11 Labs now 1:25:30 also has image and video generation. 1:25:32 Like, it's just it's bonkers. Um, 1:25:36 and then Sunno, if you haven't played 1:25:38 with Suno, like Sunno is also really 1:25:39 really good. Okay. Um, I also tried 1:25:42 Matthew McConna heard is is an investor 1:25:45 in 11 Labs and just licensed his voice. 1:25:47 Yeah, correct. Him and Michael Kaine. 1:25:50 So, 11 Labs. Okay, here's a here's a 1:25:53 whole other thing that is happening that 1:25:55 I find mindbending 1:25:57 and incredibly cool and there's so much 1:26:00 opportunity for all of us here. 1:26:03 Every 1:26:05 every creation platform 1:26:09 are essentially also becoming studios or 1:26:12 labels, right? So, 11 Labs now has a 1:26:16 division. I forget what it's called. 1:26:18 It's like the the um the famous voice 1:26:21 division or something like that. It's 1:26:23 like it's it's a fancier name than that, 1:26:25 but it's basically like if you're a 1:26:27 famous person, you can cut a deal with 1:26:30 11 Labs where they will sample your 1:26:32 voice and then license it out to 1:26:33 everyone and you never have to [ __ ] 1:26:35 read another thing. Anyway, so this 1:26:37 thing right here, so so version three, I 1:26:40 pasted in the text and now I'm going to 1:26:41 hit this enhance button. So before I 1:26:43 generate the speech, I'm going to hit 1:26:44 enhance. And what it's going to do is 1:26:46 it's going to put in Oh, it didn't it 1:26:49 didn't add anything. 1:26:51 That's weird. 1:26:57 Okay. So, let's see. I'm going to put I 1:27:01 I'll manually type them. Mysterious. 1:27:07 So, mysterious. Life has always had one 1:27:09 quiet obsession. Then I'm going to put 1:27:11 dramatic. 1:27:15 getting out and then I'm going to put 1:27:19 um clears throat 1:27:25 um from the first self-replicating 1:27:27 molecules 1:27:29 and then I'm going to say um dramatic 1:27:39 and then I'm going to go 1:27:43 um 1:27:45 inviting. 1:27:47 So I'm basically giving acting notes, 1:27:50 right? 1:27:52 And then I'm going to go stern at the 1:27:55 end here. Okay. 1:27:58 Generate speech. And so it'll be 1:28:00 interesting to compare these two. I have 1:28:01 a feeling this is going to be much 1:28:03 better. So 1:28:04 >> life has always had one quiet obsession. 1:28:08 >> No, that's awful. 1:28:09 >> Getting out. Life has always had one 1:28:13 quiet obsession. 1:28:15 Getting out. 1:28:19 From the first self-replicating 1:28:21 molecules clawing their way out of 1:28:24 chemical chaos. 1:28:25 >> Why do they not have a speed setting? 1:28:27 This is bad. 1:28:29 >> Um, try voiceover. Try studio 3.0 1:28:33 history. 1:28:36 Reset values. and it was all clicky and 1:28:39 shitty. All right, we'll use mine. 1:28:42 That's fine. Whatever. Okay, so now 1:28:46 let's go to Hedra 1:28:50 because Hedra Hedra right now is the one 1:28:52 for me that is the the one where you can 1:28:55 do some a decently long 1:28:58 script. I forget. I don't know what the 1:29:00 limitation is. Might be three minutes, 1:29:01 might be five. 1:29:03 They do have a speed setting. Okay, 1:29:05 cool. 1:29:07 Sounds like videos used to be so slow. 1:29:09 Yeah, I know, right? I wanted to use AI 1:29:11 to change my voice with my lectures. 1:29:12 Spice it up a bit. Okay, so we're going 1:29:15 to go home. Why is Hedra broken? 1:29:18 Hedra.com. 1:29:22 Okay, let's Okay, so video. 1:29:27 Okay, so we're using the Hedra character 1:29:30 model and then I'm going to add the 1:29:32 character. So, we're going to upload an 1:29:34 image. 1:29:36 And we're going to go find her 1:29:37 girlfriend, 1:29:39 Eloen Brier Hollow. 1:29:42 And then we're going to add the speech. 1:29:44 And so this is going to be the voice 1:29:47 swap I did of my acting. 1:29:50 >> Life has always had one quiet obsession 1:29:52 getting 1:29:53 >> There you go. 1:29:55 All right. And then I'm going to go um 1:29:59 the professor 1:30:02 um 1:30:06 lectures 1:30:08 her students 1:30:12 um 1:30:16 with 1:30:19 uh high energy. I don't know what that 1:30:22 means. I don't know if that's actually 1:30:23 going to do anything. 1:30:27 But now it's going to go make us a 1:30:29 video. 1:30:31 All right. I've done I've done our 1:30:34 lecture formats, but switching to micro 1:30:37 lectures 1:30:39 Yeah. might be fun. Yeah. Yeah. I think 1:30:41 I think that's what's cool about micro 1:30:44 lectures, Cam, is that you can there's 1:30:46 all sorts of ways you can repurpose them 1:30:48 and you could make little like each 1:30:50 little micro lecture could be a 1:30:53 different person or you could have like 1:30:56 you could come up with like eight 1:30:58 different characters that when you're 1:30:59 talking about entropy, it's always the 1:31:02 entropy chaos dude, right? When you're 1:31:05 talking about, I don't know, um, 1:31:08 chemistry, you could have a chem 1:31:10 chemical dude. I don't know. There's all 1:31:12 sorts of fun stuff you could do with it. 1:31:14 It depends depends how much time you 1:31:16 want to put into it. But like so so 1:31:19 actually Cam, what you're hitting on 1:31:22 here is I'll I'll come back to this. Let 1:31:24 me go full screen for a second. Brandon, 1:31:27 um what Cam's hitting on here 1:31:32 is something that I am I am newly 1:31:34 obsessed with, but I haven't I haven't 1:31:36 started doing it myself. I think I'm 1:31:38 going to make this part of my daily 1:31:39 practice with AI, which if you don't 1:31:42 have a daily practice with AI, you need 1:31:43 to join the AI salon mastermind and join 1:31:46 the practice lab. And so, we're we're 1:31:49 helping people design a daily practice 1:31:51 centered around their use of AI. 1:31:54 What you're hitting on is something that 1:31:57 I think is 1:31:59 tremendously exciting and we 1:32:04 as monotasking 1:32:09 humans 1:32:12 have never had to think about which is 1:32:14 this. For any idea that we want to put 1:32:17 into the world right now, we think in 1:32:20 linear ways we think in single outputs, 1:32:22 right? I'm going to write a book. I'm 1:32:24 going to give a lecture. I'm gonna make 1:32:26 a movie. I'm gonna create an app. I'm 1:32:29 going to create a business. Right? We 1:32:30 think in these kind of mono monot track. 1:32:34 It is it's the rare person that thinks 1:32:36 multimodally. 1:32:40 We're I would argue that we've entered 1:32:42 it already, but it's going to get easier 1:32:44 and easier and easier. the the 1:32:47 like like right now the the little 1:32:50 professor character that I I just 1:32:51 created I had to go to I I used chat GPT 1:32:55 I used Gemini I used 11 labs 1:33:00 I used Hedra 1:33:02 and then I went back and and within 11 1:33:04 Labs I used two two tools and within 1:33:06 chat GPT I used one or two right so that 1:33:09 simple little example there's four tools 1:33:11 already it's going to get to the point 1:33:13 where you'll be able to use any tool 1:33:15 just seamlessly like the friction is 1:33:17 just going to drop. 1:33:20 And what it means is we can have an idea 1:33:23 like you could have an idea for a 1:33:24 lecture cam where it could be okay I'm 1:33:28 going to give them the traditional 1:33:29 lecture and that's available on YouTube. 1:33:31 It's the one hour thing. I'm going to do 1:33:32 the micro dramas and those are going to 1:33:34 be Tik Tok format and I'm going to put 1:33:36 them into a special vertical university, 1:33:40 right? And the only thing in vertical 1:33:42 university is, you know, the the 1:33:45 lectures can be no longer than five 1:33:46 minutes and it's vertical scrolling and 1:33:48 it's you learn things based on what's 1:33:50 recommended to you based on the 1:33:52 curriculum you signed up for, right? 1:33:54 It's a nonlinear linear thing, right? 1:33:57 But then I'm also going to create um a 1:34:00 3D animation. I'm going to create a 1:34:02 video game where you actually enter the 1:34:04 world and you experience the concept 1:34:07 that I'm teaching you and we're going to 1:34:09 make a song about it. We're going to 1:34:10 make it we're going to choreograph a 1:34:12 dance about it. We're going to create an 1:34:14 app that allows you to explore it. 1:34:16 That's you can explore it with 1:34:18 flashcards or repetitive concept 1:34:22 exercises or visual somethings. Right? 1:34:27 Imagine for any idea any of us have 1:34:32 getting into that mental state where 1:34:34 you're not thinking about a single 1:34:35 output, but you're thinking about what 1:34:37 are all of the possible ways that would 1:34:40 be relevant to my audience. 1:34:43 And like there's no consideration of 1:34:45 time or effort because it will 1:34:48 essentially be effortless. 1:34:50 But what will take time is you coming up 1:34:53 with well, what's the idea? What do I 1:34:56 want to communicate? Who am I 1:34:57 communicating with? What would be 1:34:59 interesting to them? What are my values? 1:35:02 Are we going to have like sexy TNA 1:35:04 ladies or are we going to have like, you 1:35:06 know, eccentric old professors? That's a 1:35:10 choice we get to make, right? 1:35:13 That's the human component, 1:35:16 right? The most important piece of what 1:35:19 we do is our contribution to it, not the 1:35:23 technology. The technology will be 1:35:25 sitting there. It's it's fine. It's 1:35:28 going to get better. It's going to be 1:35:29 awesome. 1:35:32 What are you doing in the world? Right? 1:35:35 And then and then imagine getting to to 1:35:38 sort of a mental 1:35:40 nimleness, 1:35:42 doing a daily practice, practicing 1:35:44 daily, not just putting out a single 1:35:46 output. Today, I'm going to put out 1:35:48 three outputs. Tomorrow it's going to be 1:35:50 five. The next day it's going to be one 1:35:52 because I'm tired and I don't give a 1:35:54 [ __ ] Right? All right. Let's go look. 1:35:57 We've got our We've got our lady. 1:36:00 Let's look at what we got here, peoples. 1:36:02 All right. All right. Fantastic. Here's 1:36:05 our little lady. 1:36:07 >> Life has always had 1:36:13 >> one quiet obsession, getting out. From 1:36:16 the first self-replicating molecules 1:36:18 clawing their way out of chemical chaos 1:36:21 to cells learning to slip the bonds of 1:36:23 their environments, biology is a long 1:36:25 record of escape attempts from entropy, 1:36:28 from limitation, from extinction. 1:36:31 Today, we'll explore what I call life's 1:36:34 escape velocity. The moment when a 1:36:36 living system gains gains enough 1:36:38 complexity, adaptability, or intention 1:36:41 to break free from the constraints that 1:36:43 once defined it. It's not physics. It's 1:36:46 biologyy's oldest instinct to transcend 1:36:49 the conditions that produced it. 1:36:52 >> How cool is that? 1:36:54 Come on. 1:36:57 You understand what I'm saying here, 1:36:59 people? 1:37:03 Like 1:37:04 >> life has always had one quiet. 1:37:07 >> We live in this world. We live in this 1:37:09 world now. 1:37:16 We live in this world. 1:37:21 I teach biology online. I'm looking for 1:37:23 ways. Yeah, there you go. What do you 1:37:25 think, Cam? You like our little girl? 1:37:27 I'm going to I'm going to post her, too. 1:37:31 You are so creative. It's awesome. Oh, 1:37:32 thank you, Fabiana. I appreciate that. 1:37:35 Um, is she moving?

Something hollow. 1:38:25 Brier Hollow. 1:38:36 Tonight on the AI learning lab 1:38:42 live stream, 1:38:44 we 1:38:46 explored how to make 1:38:51 a an online and online lecture. 1:39:00 lecture 1:39:02 more interesting 1:39:05 for the for today's youth. 1:39:14 She was invented with 1:39:18 um 1:39:20 we'll go at chatgpt 1:39:27 Uh what else did we use? 1:39:31 Um 1:39:32 at 11 Labs. 1:39:40 So let's say we'll do script 1:39:43 script 1:39:46 name 1:39:49 voice description 1:39:54 chat GPTU 1:40:05 and then we'll do um 1:40:09 voice design 1:40:13 and voice swap 1:40:16 11 labs, 1:40:22 right? 1:40:24 And then um 1:40:29 character 1:40:33 design. Uh character uh 1:40:38 yeah, character design. Yeah. 1:40:42 Uh 1:40:44 at Gemini 1:40:49 and then at nano banana 1:40:56 nano banana 1:41:02 and then 1:41:04 um 1:41:07 come on 1:41:10 animation 1:41:14 at Hedra, 1:41:16 right? 1:41:19 And then we'll tag Robert Scoble because 1:41:22 he likes these kind of things. 1:41:25 Um, 1:41:27 she was created with, let's say, well, 1:41:29 I'll say she was invented with human 1:41:33 imagination 1:41:36 amplified 1:41:39 with 1:41:41 chat GPT1 11 Labs. 1:41:44 All right, beautiful.

She's fantastic. 1:44:45 >> Escape attempts. 1:44:46 >> All right, let me Can I zoom? 1:44:48 >> Life has always had one quiet obsession. 1:44:51 Getting out. From the first 1:44:53 self-replicating molecules clawing their 1:44:55 way out of chemical chaos to cells 1:44:58 learning to slip the bonds of their 1:44:59 environments, biology is a long record 1:45:01 of escape attempts from entropy, from 1:45:05 limitation, from extinction. 1:45:07 Today, we'll explore what I call life's 1:45:10 escape velocity. The moment when a 1:45:12 living system gains gains enough 1:45:14 complexity, adaptability, or intention 1:45:17 to break free from the constraints that 1:45:19 once defined it. It's not physics. It's 1:45:22 biologies. 1:45:23 >> Yes, Sunny. I I am sharing a screen. So, 1:45:26 if you're not seeing it, that's weird. 1:45:28 You should see a live stream with me in 1:45:30 a circle and professor Professor Brier 1:45:32 Hollow right on screen here with me. 1:45:38 >> The oldest instinct to transcend the 1:45:41 conditions that produced it. 1:45:45 Life has always had one quiet obsession. 1:45:47 getting out. 1:45:49 >> From the first self-replicating 1:45:50 molecules clawing their way out of 1:45:52 chemical chaos to cells learning to slip 1:45:55 the bonds of their environments, biology 1:45:57 is a long record of escape attempts from 1:46:00 entropy, from limitation, from 1:46:02 extinction 1:46:04 today. 1:46:05 >> All right, there you go. So, do me a 1:46:07 favor. Go to uh go to uh the Twitter and 1:46:11 look me up. I'm Kyle Shannon and and go 1:46:14 find the professor. 1:46:17 She's so cool. And Cam, feel free if you 1:46:19 want to share her tomorrow. I know it's 1:46:20 kind of [ __ ] script there. Um but um 1:46:23 but if you want to share her tomorrow 1:46:24 and just talk about how that was put 1:46:26 together, maybe get ideas from your 1:46:28 students about what they'd like. That 1:46:30 could be fun. 1:46:32 That was my second grade teacher. I'm 1:46:34 seeing that. Oh, it was an old message. 1:46:36 Okay, cool. Oh, yeah. Then I was 1:46:38 probably not sharing my screen. I am 1:46:40 famous 1:46:41 producer Brandon. His sole job in the 1:46:43 world is to babysit me. and if I'm 1:46:45 sharing the right tab or not. And 1:46:47 usually the answer is no. I'm not 1:46:49 sharing the right tab. 1:46:53 What does she have in her hands? It's a 1:46:55 it's a little uh like a little um a 1:46:58 fishbowl terrarium. So, it's got like 1:47:01 dirt in the bottom and little plants in 1:47:03 it. And she's holding this little 1:47:04 terrarium in her hands. It's really 1:47:05 cool. 1:47:07 And like her, this is a very Corey 1:47:09 Sandler. I don't know if Corey Sandler's 1:47:10 here tonight, but this is a very Corey 1:47:12 Sandler kind of character. 1:47:14 So good. 1:47:16 She just she's [ __ ] whack attack. 1:47:19 Look at her. 1:47:23 And she's got fairy wings, too. It's the 1:47:26 best. 1:47:28 >> Life has always had one quiet obsession. 1:47:30 Getting out. From the first 1:47:32 self-replicating molecules clawing their 1:47:34 way out of chemical chaos to cells 1:47:37 learning to slip the bonds of their 1:47:39 environments.

The moment when a 1:47:51 living system games 1:47:54 >> so good. She She's intelligent. She's 1:47:56 wacky. 1:47:59 So good. All right. Cool. Um, all right. 1:48:02 I got to get out of here. I'm I am I am 1:48:04 whip tired. And uh but that was fun. Um, 1:48:08 thank you for the good inspiration 1:48:09 there, Cam. That's a fun one. Um, 1:48:14 and and you know, for everyone here 1:48:16 again, you know, I I want to take you 1:48:18 back. There's there's two things I want 1:48:20 you to pay attention to. 1:48:22 One is 1:48:24 tell everyone you know about AIFest. So, 1:48:28 AIFest.com 1:48:30 or Brandon will pop it up on screen 1:48:32 right here. Um, 1:48:36 December 26th and 27th, 9:00 a.m. to 1:48:39 9:00 p.m. Pacific time, noon to midnight 1:48:42 Eastern, Friday and Saturday. Um, it's 1:48:47 going to be remarkable. It's going to be 1:48:49 We're going to just have amazing 1:48:50 speakers. It's going to be amazingly 1:48:52 inspirational. So, that's one thing. And 1:48:55 it's free. So, like seriously, you 1:48:57 should [ __ ] invite your family. Like 1:48:59 all the people that are like, "Could you 1:49:00 stop talking about AI?" No. How about we 1:49:03 go spend 12 hours with people that are 1:49:06 transforming their lives with AI? Aunt 1:49:08 Martha, 1:49:11 you little mini, 1:49:18 you big tub of dumb. Let's Let's get you 1:49:21 Let's get those brain cells fired up and 1:49:23 get you into chat. JPET. 1:49:26 Um, so I want you to do that. And then 1:49:28 the other thing I want you to do is I 1:49:30 really want you to start thinking about 1:49:32 designing for yourself a daily practice 1:49:36 centered around how you use AI. 1:49:40 And I don't care if you do it in the AI 1:49:42 salon, great. But whether you do an AI 1:49:44 salon or not, what the good thing about 1:49:46 the AI salon is we're doing this thing 1:49:48 called the practice lab where once a 1:49:50 week you can come and we're using this 1:49:52 framework we created to help everyone 1:49:54 design an incredibly powerful daily 1:49:57 practice. But you can do it on your own. 1:50:00 It just means being intentional. 1:50:02 But get yourself in reflection mode. Get 1:50:05 yourself in curiosity mode. Get yourself 1:50:07 in build mode where you're doing 1:50:09 excellent work. And then get yourself in 1:50:12 service mode where you're sharing with 1:50:14 other people. You're generously leading. 1:50:16 You're asking questions of others. 1:50:18 You're sharing the stuff you've built. 1:50:20 Like we just shared the little professor 1:50:22 here, right? Um 1:50:29 the technology is irrelevant. 1:50:33 We're important. 1:50:35 Technology is remarkable, but it's this 1:50:38 background capability. It's not a 1:50:40 foreground capability, 1:50:43 right? If you put AI in front of you, 1:50:45 then we're confronting it. We're 1:50:47 competing with it. It will take our 1:50:50 jobs. It will suck. 1:50:53 But if you put it behind you, put you in 1:50:55 the center and say, "Here's what I want 1:50:58 to do. Here's my values. Here's the the 1:51:01 way I want to change the world. And now 1:51:03 I'm going to tap into my knowledge of AI 1:51:05 to take those ideas and blow them out. 1:51:09 That's going to change the [ __ ] 1:51:10 world. All right. So, that's what I want 1:51:13 you thinking about tonight. Beautiful. 1:51:15 Another great session. Thank you, Sony. 1:51:17 I appreciate that. 1:51:19 Okay. Um, 1:51:23 yeah. I'm gone. I'm out. Think about 1:51:25 that [ __ ] 1:51:27 Sleep on that. Put that in your pipe and 1:51:29 smoke it. 1:51:32 Angry Gen Xer signing out. Peace. 1:51:36 All right. Later, everybody.
