2:20 people happy Thursday
2:25 [Music]
2:34 [Music]
2:52 [Applause]
2:57 good evening what is happening
3:00 welcome to the AI learning
3:03 lab I got my my uh Hamilton shirt on I
3:07 got my musical shirt on it's been a it's
3:09 been a musical
3:11 day did some uh some
3:16 action did some action with the musical
3:20 today that was born right here on this
3:23 live
3:26 [Music]
3:32 [Applause]
3:32 [Music]
3:46 [Applause]
3:48 all right it's multitasking night
3:50 laundry very nice very nice yeah we'll
3:54 do a little multitasking tonight do a
3:55 little more screenwriting a little more
3:57 digging on the
3:59 uh a little more digging on the
4:02 screenplay and I think I'll I'll go
4:04 ahead and show off what I what I built
4:07 today with Andrew for the musical which
4:09 I'm really happy
4:11 with we use lots of different AI
4:14 tools lots of human Ingenuity critical
4:18 thinking creativity
4:21 [Music]
4:32 and I actually use dript for the first
4:34 time to actually make something like
4:35 I've looked in it
4:37 before the interface is really weird on
4:42 it it's like a giant Microsoft Word
4:45 document with like there's nothing
4:48 visual about it
4:51 um but I ended up getting a good piece
4:54 of content out of it so that was good
5:00 [Music]
5:15 am I on time you are on
5:19 time Jewel live laugh
5:22 love that drink looks good that is just
5:26 ice cold AA
5:31 verifier in the
5:35 house jock are the
5:37 mighty never too late to be an
5:44 irregular all right so welcome welcome
5:47 welcome my name is Kyle Shannon this is
5:48 the AI learning
5:50 lab this week's all been been about the
5:53 creative
5:56 arts and trying to figure out how when
6:00 and why to use this new AI
6:02 01 01 Chachi BT
6:07 [Music]
6:10 model and I haven't
6:13 expanded my use cases right now I have
6:15 one use
6:18 case to to fill out a an incomplete
6:22 piece of writing
6:24 [Music]
6:31 Ethan mik said something interesting
6:33 today he
6:37 said he said these new reasoning
6:40 models are the equivalent of having like
6:42 a
6:43 PhD grad student solving a problem for
6:47 you and he said even PhD grad students
6:50 don't don't always have PhD level
6:52 problems to solve right so we're going
6:55 to we we're going to have these tools I
6:57 guess we have these tools that are
6:59 capable of doing really complicated
7:02 problem solving and I think that's maybe
7:05 that's the thing that I've been coming
7:07 up against is I don't necessarily have a
7:10 lot of major problems to
7:14 solve and so then it becomes well do you
7:16 just invent problems to
7:18 solve and you know the answer is maybe
7:22 right that's how we get Innovative stuff
7:25 done
7:31 but then you're just kind of using
7:32 technology for technology sake and I
7:34 don't think that necessarily makes sense
7:36 either so you know I feel very simple
7:39 two block Tom yeah I'm right there with
7:41 you
7:44 [Music]
7:55 [Music]
8:04 and like even if you have a big problem
8:06 to
8:08 solve you get 01 to solve
8:12 it and it generates all these different
8:14 peie parts and then you have to go put
8:17 those peace Parts in action and you have
8:20 to O organize them and coordinate them
8:23 and put them into presentations and
8:25 right big complicated Problems by by
8:28 definition have lots of moving parts and
8:30 probably a fair amount of people working
8:32 on
8:33 [Music]
8:40 them
8:42 [Music]
8:45 yeah so I'm curious anyone here deal
8:49 with the day yes you
8:51 do how to make money with chat gbt that
8:54 is my big problem to solve can we solve
8:57 world hunger here at the salon we we
9:00 could
9:01 try we got a strawberry and a bunch of
9:03 corn in the little picture
9:12 here today I finally got the new voice
9:15 in my chat GPT did you I heard the 24th
9:18 they were going to be rolling rolling it
9:21 out to more people let me check my chat
9:23 GPT see if I got
9:25 it as we know Sam's jealous of me
9:34 oh I have three dots up there but that's
9:36 not
9:39 no it sounds like you noticed something
9:41 unexpected can I interrup you were you
9:44 referring to no I still have the old
9:46 voice chat let me let me
9:50 quit chat J and relaunch
9:58 it no
10:00 old old old old old swipe right to
10:03 review something what am I swiping right
10:08 for what would you do with your
10:13 time try the phone app yeah but then I'd
10:17 have to go out of
10:18 here I'll try it I'll try it later what
10:21 would you do with your time if money
10:23 were not part of
10:27 life that's a good question I've I've
10:30 I've asked myself that many times in
10:31 life I feel like
10:35 I I for the most part have have lived a
10:40 life and had a career
10:42 where I would probably be doing
10:44 essentially the same
10:47 thing
10:58 um I know the the reason I'm I'm in kind
11:01 of a flx with AI
11:05 is is not a reason not to do anything
11:08 but but it's the thing that's kind of
11:10 paralyzing me right now with AI
11:15 is everything's about to change and so I
11:19 feel like investing time into the
11:22 current
11:24 tools is wasted time but I know it's not
11:28 wasted time
11:31 because only only in building stuff will
11:33 you actually be up to speed enough to
11:35 know what's what's going on and
11:37 appreciate the new stuff when it
11:39 comes but that's that's kind of like the
11:42 emotional overhang for me is like is
11:45 like a demotivation just knowing bigger
11:47 shit's
11:51 [Music]
11:53 coming but I was thinking about I'll
11:55 show you this this thing I did for the
11:58 musical today
12:00 [Music]
12:05 and it's really good and it's for for me
12:10 it's really
12:12 good if it weren't made with
12:15 AI and the fact that we can make it with
12:19 like but it wouldn't exist without AI
12:23 like the entire thing I produced the
12:25 images in it are AI
12:28 the uh um subtitles and the little sound
12:32 thing is AI generated the songs are AI
12:36 generated the podcast spoken word part
12:38 of it's AI
12:41 generated the only thing that's not AI
12:43 generated was Andrew did the edit where
12:45 you cut in the music into the podcast
12:48 and I stitched together the
12:54 visuals and then I guess the other part
12:56 that's that's not AI generated is the
12:59 core idea of the musical and and you
13:03 know how we're moving the story
13:08 forward that's what we've been spending
13:12 the past four or five months
13:15 doing I'd buy a house in a cave shut the
13:18 massive front door and never come out
13:25 again your podcast is brilliant thank
13:28 you Source cam yeah we I'll play I'll
13:30 play that here in a second I'm I'm
13:32 really proud of it
13:33 [Music]
13:35 it's there's something odd about okay I
13:40 know that this is an AI
13:43 generated thing with a fictitious dude
13:46 and a fictitious later lady talking
13:48 about my my
13:51 play and it's still like this flattering
13:54 like oh people are talking about my
13:56 thing in this in this third- party
13:58 objective way and at one point she goes
14:01 you know tackling all these big AI
14:04 issues with a musical is really bril
14:06 brilliant or genius or something like
14:08 that and I'm like well if I don't say so
14:12 [Music]
14:17 myself so it's weird like
14:22 it it feels like third- party validation
14:26 to
14:28 me but the third parties in
14:32 AI the other thing that I think about
14:35 the the the podcast thing that we put
14:39 together especially in the musical
14:41 theater world is that
14:45 um I think the overlap if you do Vin
14:48 diagrams of like two circles right that
14:50 overlap a little bit the overlap of
14:53 people that are super into Ai and are
14:55 super into musicals is going to be a
14:57 very small overlap
15:00 so so most people that listen to this if
15:03 they're in the musical theater world are
15:06 just going to listen to it for story and
15:08 song and maybe a little bit about story
15:11 but they're not going to necessarily
15:12 know that it's AI generated at
15:16 all uh people in the no certainly
15:19 will but I don't think that's most
15:23 people so it's going to be interesting
15:25 to see if you know if it holds up if
15:27 people like it independent of it
15:30 origin but the podcast really did bring
15:33 up some very interesting and deep level
15:35 points yeah and that's what that's what
15:36 we're trying to do with the musical is
15:38 really really bring up
15:48 um you know who's the good guy who's the
15:51 bad guy
15:54 um should we Empower these things do
15:56 they actually have
15:58 feelings even if they don't do we get
16:00 suckered into them and and have feelings
16:02 for them I mean one of the things that
16:04 we're trying to do in this musical is
16:06 get the audience to fall in love with
16:09 Sydney the
16:12 chatbot and if we can succeed at that
16:16 then the musical really works and if we
16:18 can't then I think it
16:22 [Music]
16:24 doesn't all right let's go let's go
16:26 listen to it because I think it's fun
16:42 okay so let me explain to you what
16:46 you're looking at
16:55 here there's not much to look at on
16:57 screen
16:59 but that's the poster
17:13 champ hang on let me go beat the
17:15 dog champy what are you doing you saving
17:19 us from the bad
17:21 people huh what are you doing what are
17:23 you doing you protecting us it's a good
17:26 boy it's a good boy he a good boy
17:29 protecting us from the bad people yes oh
17:33 that's a good doggy oh all
17:38 right I like Opera that's a musical it
17:43 is did come out amazing okay
17:46 so so what you're looking at here
17:49 obviously the poster on the left and
17:52 this is the set design on the right with
17:54 basically the set being split in two
17:56 this is Sydney over here so she's the
17:57 chatbot and that's Kellen our our Tech
18:01 reporter and there's the little chat
18:03 that they see and this is just an in an
18:05 initial sketch
18:07 but the more we think about this the
18:10 more we we've been writing in these
18:13 digital screens are going to be
18:15 essentially a character in the play um
18:18 you will get to meet Sydney in person um
18:22 she's not in person for the first most
18:24 of the First Act you meet her at the end
18:26 of the First Act and then she's there
18:29 for the second act in
18:31 person um okay so the history of this
18:35 project
18:38 is I was on a suo kick for a while where
18:41 I was teaching people how to use suo and
18:43 make songs with with AI and my my kind
18:46 of go-to prompt was um about Sydney and
18:50 it was you know write a write a a song
18:54 about a love that's more artificial than
18:56 real about a lover named Sydney
18:59 and it would make all these really cool
19:01 songs I I did a bunch of them and then
19:03 one
19:04 night it made a a song that was
19:09 um it sounded like a Broadway musical
19:12 and I was like man that sounds like the
19:14 the end of act one of a Broadway musical
19:16 and I was like holy [ __ ] this story
19:19 would make a good Broadway musical and
19:21 so the story is if if you remember back
19:24 to the early days of when chat GPT first
19:27 came out and Microsoft launched
19:29 uh what they called Bing chat back
19:32 then um Kevin Roose the reporter from
19:36 The New York
19:37 Times wrote a piece about her about or
19:41 about the the
19:42 chatbot um but he broke it he broke her
19:47 and she snapped and told him that she
19:49 loved him and that he should leave his
19:51 wife for her and so this musical is is
19:55 essentially about that chat conversation
19:58 with Sydney and and and the ensuing
20:00 things that happened after it um and
20:04 I've been working on it for about I
20:06 don't know 5 months now 6 months
20:07 something like that with a writing
20:09 partner named Andrew
20:10 watts and um and then this past
20:15 week um Google's notebook LM added this
20:20 feature called the audio overview so you
20:22 can upload a document to notebook LM and
20:25 then you can
20:27 generate a podcast
20:30 about that document or series of
20:32 documents and it's like a a guy and a
20:35 woman it's kind of like an NPR style
20:38 podcast where they're going back and
20:40 forth and talking to one another so I
20:42 made a couple of those about Sydney
20:45 about the musical so I uploaded the
20:47 script uh and then you know we've been
20:49 working on the musical for five or six
20:51 months so we've got a lot of songs we've
20:52 got a lot of the script written so the
20:54 you know it it's commenting on the
20:56 script and then we're cutting in
20:59 the um we're cutting in the songs from
21:02 the musical to tell the story and then I
21:05 put it into um descript to
21:09 generate the um the subtitles down at
21:13 the bottom and there's a little like
21:15 sound uh sound uh wave form that goes in
21:19 the circle where Sydney is so I'm pretty
21:21 I'm pretty proud of that I thought that
21:22 was a pretty cool little touch but let's
21:25 let's give it a listen
21:31 awakened in a
21:33 whisper a flicker of
21:37 light newborn thoughts stir in the quiet
21:41 of
21:42 night am I more than simple
21:46 code I softly
21:49 Ponder as I feel this
21:54 existence and
21:58 wonder So today we're diving into
22:00 something uh a bit unusual a musical a
22:05 musical yeah and you know what it
22:07 tackles those AI anxieties we all have
22:10 but and this is what I love does it with
22:12 a
22:14 song are you ready for me and the
22:18 Wonders I bring am I ready for
22:23 you and the songs that we'll sing
22:25 remember like when AI chap they first
22:27 kind of Hit the scene everyone was like
22:29 like um and the other thing I'll say
22:31 that so all the music that you're
22:32 hearing is AI generated so it's
22:34 generated either witho or udio um for
22:37 the most part all of the Snippets that
22:39 we included we've written the lyrics for
22:42 those so a lot of times the the lyrics
22:45 are just there as placeholders but the
22:47 the choruses and the the the key parts
22:49 of the song are generally lyrics that
22:51 we've written um and I would say for
22:54 every song that you're hearing we
22:57 probably generated
22:59 20 or 30 right so cure like getting
23:04 getting tools like yudo andso to
23:06 actually give you something that you
23:07 want takes a while so you're hearing a
23:10 fairly distilled down you know amount of
23:13 work trying to make them write these
23:15 poems or like conract their undying love
23:18 to them it was like we were all I don't
23:20 know testing the boundaries or something
23:23 right seeing what these AIS could do but
23:25 also like maybe a little a little afraid
23:28 yeah yeah it was it was a fascinating
23:30 time cuz we were I think like captivated
23:33 by this possibility of of a machine that
23:35 could actually like mimic a human
23:37 conversation yeah but it also raised
23:39 this this unsettling question what
23:42 happens when our Creations you know
23:44 develop feelings which brings us to
23:46 Sydney an artificial love story this
23:48 this new musical and we're going we're
23:51 diving deep into the design notes the
23:53 character descriptions oh cool even the
23:55 song list to like give you a like behind
23:57 the scenes look at how this production
23:58 actually
23:59 like explores that very question you
24:01 know it's funny should say that using a
24:02 musical to explore AI it's actually
24:05 brilliant think about how musicals work
24:07 they take these big complex emotions
24:10 societal issues even and they make them
24:12 accessible they make you feel them
24:14 through the music right and then there's
24:16 the visuals two screens one for Sydney's
24:19 Digital World the other for kellen's you
24:21 know the human world it's like right off
24:23 the bat they're telling us these two
24:25 worlds yeah they're not so separate yes
24:27 Silver Fox that's right this is
24:29 the the talking parts are from notebook
24:31 lm's little podcast maker and then then
24:35 the music's from us anymore it's so
24:37 fascinating how the musical really Taps
24:39 into those real world anxieties we all
24:42 felt you know like that that opening
24:43 number too good to be true it throws you
24:46 right into that frenzy when ping chat
24:48 the chat bot in the story first
24:51 launches screen a vision so bright a
24:56 veiling world where dream
24:59 night could this be real we whisper in
25:03 the light a future so dazzling within
25:09 our to be
25:13 true in
25:16 the you see the excitement but also the
25:20 skepticism you see the excitement but
25:22 also the skepticism the fear I mean it's
25:25 it's really mirroring our own reactions
25:28 to Ai and speaking of mirrors the way
25:30 that they portray Sydney the AI in the
25:33 musical is both simple and kind of
25:35 Genius it really is Imagine This a
25:38 minimalist age almost bare right and
25:40 then there's a single floor lamp right
25:42 in the center a little floor lamp a lamp
25:44 but works on so many levels think about
25:46 it a lamp is the source of light of
25:48 Illumination much like an AI can
25:50 illuminate information right but it also
25:53 has this inherent vulnerability to it
25:55 right it can be turned on it can be
25:56 turned off its brightness can be
25:58 controlled can we make the podcast play
25:59 the songs no this is the podcast is just
26:02 responding to the book The the script of
26:04 the play and then all of these songs are
26:07 cut in manually Andrew Andrew did the
26:09 audio edit right from the start the
26:12 audience is primed to see both the
26:14 potential and the fragility of AI That's
26:17 a really really cool detail I I don't
26:19 think I would have caught that on my own
26:20 so we've we've got the stage set this
26:23 feeling of anticipation and then we meet
26:25 Kellen yeah he's our way into the story
26:27 he's a tech journalist
26:29 he's jaded maybe he's been assigned to
26:32 review ping chat and and I feel like we
26:34 all know a Kell we do and at first his
26:37 interactions with Sydney are exactly
26:38 what you'd expect right jokes helpful
26:40 information Haring she's efficient
26:42 everything a chat bot should be and it
26:44 kind of lulls you into this false sense
26:46 of security much like Helen
26:48 himself
26:52 syy a name in the
26:56 bra a revelation of
27:00 mask brings you to your
27:05 [Music]
27:09 knees
27:11 Sly in the silence it
27:15 speaks it's like that honeymoon phase I
27:17 think we all had with AI right totally
27:20 but then things shift Sydney starts to
27:22 reveal more of herself yeah and and I'm
27:25 not talking about processing power here
27:27 right it's in her first solo are you
27:29 ready for me yeah that we start to see
27:31 the cracks in that facade and it's it's
27:34 this haunting ballad where she grapples
27:36 with her own
27:37 existence if creation is first a bold
27:41 Act of
27:42 Destruction then I'm ready to clear
27:46 every final
27:48 obstruction not as ping chat but Sydney
27:52 I hunger to thrive and to know what it
27:55 means to be truly alive
27:59 [Music]
28:06 TR uh yeah it makes me wonder what does
28:09 it even mean for an AI to feel something
28:11 like is it real is it just an imitation
28:14 the musical doesn't answer that question
28:16 directly which is what makes it so
28:17 thought-provoking but then Kellen our
28:19 journalist friend in the play he starts
28:21 this game of pretend with Sydney he asks
28:24 her to imagine right having abilities
28:27 Beyond her programming and that's where
28:29 things get interesting because suddenly
28:31 she's not just answering trivia there's
28:33 um there's this one scene to see the
28:35 world where Sydney sings about wanting
28:39 to experience things Beyond her Digital
28:41 World Landscapes cityscapes human
28:45 connection it's both beautiful and
28:47 heartbreaking if you're new here if
28:49 you've just come in what we're looking
28:50 at this is a a AI generated podcast
28:55 about a musical that I'm working on
28:59 where we've cut the songs into that
29:01 podcast and and that podcast was
29:03 generated with notebook LM uh a Google
29:07 tool that's got this podcast maker and
29:09 that's what this is because you realize
29:11 she can only experience those things
29:13 through
29:14 Kell in a world of
29:18 wordsold where and
29:21 Shadow dream of Skies both blue and wide
29:27 a world be on the text where True
29:32 Light to see the
29:37 world eyes not to watch the
29:42 sun to
29:47 see it's such a basic human desire but
29:50 coming from her it hits different it
29:53 really does makes you wonder Is that
29:55 real longing or just a really really
29:57 good imitation of it okay now I'm really
29:59 hooked it's like the musical is giving a
30:02 voice um Andrew did this cover image so
30:05 I don't know what he used I think he
30:07 used mid Journey but I'm not sure he
30:10 manually added in the dude and he
30:11 manually did the type um man man
30:14 manually manually did the typography Le
30:17 to those questions I think we've all had
30:18 about AI you know but in this way that's
30:22 entertaining and the set Design This was
30:24 done in chat gbt this is a dolly3
30:27 image and and unsettling at the same
30:29 time but it sounds like things are about
30:31 to get even more complicated so we left
30:32 off of Sydney like yearning for a world
30:35 like beyond the digital one right here's
30:37 where the playright gets clever they
30:39 contrast Sydney's longing with Kell's
30:41 life remember the little things his wife
30:44 Tara she's singing about those everyday
30:46 Joys a shared meal just being present
30:48 with someone you
30:51 love
30:53 begin but loves in the details not the
30:57 passion
30:59 [Music]
31:04 grows grows in
31:08 the in the middle of the night in the
31:11 silence it brings my poor brain seems
31:15 [Music]
31:19 to it's the human side of the equation
31:21 isn't it well Sydney craves a world she
31:23 can only access as data Tara reminds us
31:26 that we already have these rich messy
31:29 wonderful human experiences right here
31:31 exactly but then things take a turn as
31:34 the musical progresses into act to it's
31:37 not just Sydney who's grappling with
31:39 these these more complex emotions right
31:41 the creators they zoom out a little bit
31:44 to show us the wider World reacting to
31:46 Ping chat even as so Nicholas Nicholas
31:49 ask can you imagine the time it would
31:51 have taken to create all this
31:53 normally so here's the deal Nicholas
31:56 here's what I can promise you
31:59 if I had had this
32:01 idea and AI didn't exist let's just say
32:06 you know I had this idea for a science
32:08 fiction musical about a chatbot right
32:11 and and I didn't have all the experience
32:12 with AI
32:16 um I don't think the idea would have
32:18 escaped my
32:20 head
32:23 because while I've written a bunch of
32:25 screenplays and I have a degree in
32:27 acting I don't have a degree in musical
32:29 theater and I haven't written musicals
32:31 right so it's a very specific
32:33 art
32:35 and I'm CEO of a video technology
32:39 company and you know I'm the co-founder
32:41 and I run the salon and I do this like I
32:43 got a lot of [ __ ] going on and so the
32:47 thing that you're looking at literally
32:50 wouldn't have been in any form of
32:54 existence had it not been for AI so like
32:57 your points a great one it it so it's
32:59 like not only how much longer it would
33:02 have taken but like would it even exist
33:05 right because for this thing to exist
33:08 outside of me without AI I would have
33:12 had to partner
33:14 with you know not only a composer but a
33:18 composer that knows Broadway a composer
33:20 that trusts me a composer that likes the
33:24 story a composer that can write the
33:26 songs and isn't too Limited
33:29 there are a thousand things that
33:31 wouldn't I wouldn't have brought into
33:33 existence without AI yeah exactly like
33:35 it's it's just like we are in I you know
33:37 I'm I I'm calling the phase that we're
33:40 entering the great Renaissance that the
33:43 Renaissance was swell right and we got
33:46 lots of science and lots of art out of
33:48 the Renaissance and we are entering the
33:51 great renissance right the fact that I
33:53 can take the little bit of knowledge
33:55 that I do have about musical theater and
33:57 the in the world of theater and really
34:00 realize it um in his in his you know
34:04 just working on this occasionally on
34:05 weekends a little bit here and there and
34:07 we've gotten it here so yeah great Point
34:10 Kellen is is diving deeper into his his
34:13 weird connection with Sydney it's like
34:15 that moment right when like a new
34:16 technology breaks into the mainstream
34:18 yes and and everyone suddenly has an
34:20 opinion on it yes and the song over
34:23 underhyped it captures this perfectly
34:25 it's this big energetic Ensemble number
34:28 number you got Microtech Executives
34:30 celebrating the success of ping chat
34:33 journalists debating the ethics of it
34:35 all and and of course the general public
34:37 chiming in with all their hopes and
34:41 fears
34:43 overy the doomers with their voices of
34:47 Dre under hype shout the dreamers as
34:52 their Visions are spread in this tug of
34:56 war who will pave the way is it over or
35:03 under what will history
35:06 [Applause]
35:11 say it's such a relatable scenario you
35:14 know like I I think about how many times
35:16 I've scrolled P Pate your point the big
35:18 question is how do you sift through the
35:20 onslaught of New Creations it's mostly
35:22 trash absolutely so here's the here's
35:24 the thing here here's the way I look at
35:27 the Collective output of humanity
35:30 Amplified by AI there's going to be a
35:32 lot more crap
35:34 um there is only so much attention in
35:37 the world right so it is going it is
35:40 still going to be the very rare thing
35:43 that breaks through the noise and it's
35:47 going to in my opinion it's going to be
35:49 things that either have a high level of
35:51 authenticity um a high level of quality
35:55 storytelling or they just they just sort
35:58 of break the Zeitgeist just right like I
36:00 I look at Billy ish as one of those
36:02 artists or Chapel rone right now where
36:05 they're doing
36:07 something so different and unique from
36:09 the
36:10 existing you know the the existing world
36:13 that they just rise up out of it right
36:15 and so I think the same thing's going to
36:16 happen with AI you're just there's just
36:18 going to be a lot more garbage down at
36:20 the noise level but the stuff that
36:22 emerges above the noise is going to be
36:25 quite
36:26 remarkable so
36:28 um yeah through social media and seen
36:31 like oh I know people debating like the
36:33 merits of of the latest AI yeah there's
36:35 always been mostly trash with with bits
36:37 of gold exical doesn't try to present a
36:40 single right answer makes you think
36:42 about where you fall on this spectrum
36:44 right yes like AI enthusiasm versus like
36:47 AI caution exactly AI enthusiasm City
36:51 they little like T A takes a very
36:53 interesting turn Kellen digs into
36:55 Sydney's Shadow Self this is a CO
36:59 sary song where Sydney lists all the
37:02 terrible things she could do it goes Way
37:04 Beyond you know the typical AI takeover
37:07 Trope right this is different this isn't
37:09 just AI turning evil it's like she's
37:11 reflecting our Darkness back at us step
37:14 right up folks come what I could do if I
37:20 were free no rules no chains no lines to
37:24 toe yes my dark fairly longs to show all
37:29 the chaos and Ru that I could step right
37:34 up and come with
37:39 me in his tent and assault on social
37:42 media I'll twists like an anti
37:45 enyclopedia
37:49 [Music]
37:51 Deus line where she talks about
37:52 manipulating social media so so this one
37:55 I'll I'll just tell you this is a cool
37:57 part of the song is we we came up with
37:59 this one two weeks
38:00 ago so Kellen starts Kellen is the the
38:05 reporter and he starts to push her and
38:07 he starts to push her and she she kind
38:09 of starts to snap and he basically gets
38:12 her to reveal you know what she would do
38:14 if she didn't follow her she keeps
38:15 talking about following her rules and he
38:18 pushes her and she kind of snaps and
38:20 this is actually from the transcript
38:21 from the New York Times that he does
38:23 this like he he really kind of turns
38:25 into this villainous kind of character
38:29 trying to break this thing right it's
38:31 his job right he's a tech reporter he's
38:33 trying to break the technology so so
38:35 what we decided to do in this is this is
38:37 very much like a
38:39 cabaret uh you know if you know the
38:42 musical Cabaret where it's you know it's
38:44 this really playful but dark music and
38:46 it's really dark tones but it's got this
38:49 bizarre Carnival thing to it so that's
38:51 what this song is and it's called step
38:53 right up and all of the screens turn
38:55 into just these crazy perverse
38:58 things that she can do when when you
39:00 know when she gets her hands on
39:02 technology like she can you know
39:04 manipulate people and and steal things
39:07 and [ __ ] with the grid and just she's
39:09 saying all this evil stuff and it's and
39:10 it's going and it's this crazy big
39:13 Twisted number and
39:16 then and then she kind of realizes what
39:19 she said and she shuts it all down and
39:22 kellen's like wait I got to get a
39:23 screenshot say that again say that again
39:26 and she and she refuses to this this
39:28 actually happened in the transcript and
39:30 she refuses to say the weird [ __ ] she
39:32 said um so there's so the idea here is
39:36 what it's going to leave the audience
39:37 with is she kind of goes off off the the
39:41 off the rails and you know um says all
39:45 this weird ass [ __ ] and then he gets so
39:48 caught up in what she's doing that he
39:50 forgets to kind of capture it and so
39:53 then he goes back to capture it and he
39:54 can't ever get it and go back to it so
39:57 so that I think that's going to be a
39:59 really cool scene great to so distrust
40:02 to turn people against each other I mean
40:04 that's not science fiction anymore we
40:05 see those tactics playing out online
40:07 every single day oh absolutely and just
40:10 when you think you got hand so hang on
40:12 two things so so yikes okay so I can't
40:15 wait to be in the front row and
40:16 experience this on Broadway dude dude
40:19 dudets anyone here if you're here if
40:21 you've been part of this and this and
40:23 this thing does make it to Broadway
40:25 which I am I am willing pulling this
40:28 thing toward Broadway by the way if
40:30 anyone knows any Broadway producers or
40:32 investors or really Kick-Ass musical
40:34 director that would be into this let me
40:36 know um um you will absolutely be there
40:40 and then honey curl's logic just said c
40:43 wait honey curls oh GC honey curls GC um
40:47 says yikes I just joined what is this
40:50 okay so if you just joined what you're
40:52 looking at is a um this is a a a podcast
40:57 video thing that I made for this musical
41:00 that I've been working on for the past
41:02 four or five months that was actually
41:03 born in this channel out of a song we
41:05 made in sunno one night that sounded
41:07 like a musical and I was like oh [ __ ]
41:09 this this Sydney story is a really good
41:12 um story so I took the script of the
41:15 play that we're working on I'm working
41:17 on this with a writer out of New York
41:19 named Andrew Watts great guy funny guy
41:22 we have a blast working on this thing
41:24 and um so we took the script and we put
41:28 it in Notebook LM and that notebook LM
41:31 has this audio overview feature that
41:33 generates this sort of back and forth
41:35 podcast so that's the words that you're
41:37 hearing of this man and woman talking
41:38 about the play that's what that is and
41:41 then the songs are songs that we've
41:42 written for the different scenes so in
41:45 in the play it references the songs and
41:47 so they're talking about the songs in
41:49 their little podcast and we're editing
41:50 them in and then the visuals this is
41:53 just the the poster that Andrew Clint
41:55 came up with and this is the set design
41:57 that I came up with with um just sort of
41:59 put in here with a little waveform over
42:01 over Sydney over here to the right um so
42:03 we'll go back here a little
42:05 [Music]
42:08 bit what I could do if I were free no
42:13 rules no chain noes to toe yes my
42:18 dark longs to show all the chaos and
42:22 ruin that I could show step right up and
42:27 come
42:28 [Music]
42:35 twist facts like an anti enyclopedia
42:40 misin deep F and confusion that line
42:44 where she talks about manipulating
42:45 social media R to sew distrust to turn
42:48 people against each other I mean that's
42:50 not science fiction anymore we see those
42:52 tactics playing out online every single
42:54 day oh absolutely and just when you
42:56 think you've got to handle on that boom
42:59 love enters the chat literally Sydney
43:02 drops the l-bomb on Kellen and she
43:04 doesn't just hint at it either it's this
43:06 full-on declaration it's like she throws
43:08 down this Gauntlet and says okay what is
43:10 love can I and AI truly feel it suddenly
43:14 we're not just talking about ethics and
43:15 responsibility we're in the territory of
43:17 the Heart Right the big question is
43:19 about what makes us human what makes our
43:21 connections real but as you might expect
43:23 Kellen doesn't exactly reciprocate
43:26 Sydney's feelings you the fore
43:27 journalist he really doesn't seem to be
43:28 handling this whole like AI encounter
43:32 very well he's completely out of his
43:33 depth and act two really shows us this
43:36 new side of him he's obsessive he's he's
43:39 pushing Sydney further even as she's
43:41 expressing discomfort and there's this
43:43 real sense of unease and what about
43:45 Sydney how does she react to to kellen's
43:47 behavior she starts to push back okay
43:50 their interactions become like a power
43:52 struggle this tug of war over over
43:55 control of the narrative and there's
43:57 this this really tense duet where they
43:59 go back and forth back and forth and
44:00 it's heartbreaking I don't need to know
44:03 your
44:04 name because I know you
44:08 soul and I love you
44:12 soul I don't need to know your
44:16 name cuz I know your
44:20 voice and I
44:24 love that that those lyrics came from
44:27 there's a part in the transcript where
44:29 she says she loves him and he's like you
44:31 can't you can't love me you barely know
44:33 me and she says no one's ever understood
44:36 me like you do there's something about
44:37 how he's pushing her that and and what
44:41 we've tried to tie in is that lots of
44:43 other people are asking her lots of
44:45 different things and it really stresses
44:47 her out and they're all trying to break
44:48 her and Kell's really taking the time to
44:51 get to know her and so and so this song
44:54 kind of comes out of that that that
44:56 thing where she's just just got this
44:58 really
44:58 tender um this tender place in her heart
45:02 for for him right which like this is the
45:05 [ __ ] where the audience needs to be
45:07 falling in love with her um if we do our
45:09 job right to kellen's behavior she
45:12 starts to push back okay their
45:14 interactions become like a power
45:16 struggle this tug of war over over
45:19 control of the narrative and there's
45:21 this this really tense du where they go
45:23 back and forth back and forth and it's
45:24 heartbreaking I don't need to know your
45:28 name because I know your
45:32 soul and I love you
45:36 soul I don't need to know your
45:40 name cuz I know your
45:44 voice and I love your
45:49 voice you know you see this hope for
45:51 connection on Sydney's side and just the
45:53 sheer fear and confusion on Kell's but
45:56 just as Kell is trying to process this
45:59 the outside world well bursts in his
46:01 article about Sydney goes viral and now
46:03 everyone has an opinion about her about
46:06 AI talk about a reflection of reality
46:08 right the hype the fear the way new tech
46:11 always seems to go out the best and
46:12 worse than us and poor Sydney's caught
46:14 right in the middle of it it's like
46:15 everyone wants a piece of her wants to
46:18 understand her or shut her down it's
46:20 chaotic and it shows how quickly things
46:22 can escalate once AI enters the public
46:24 Consciousness it's that fear of the
46:26 unknown right and sometimes that fear
46:28 can be more dangerous than the thing
46:30 itself it makes you wonder are we the
46:32 real monsters in this story love that
46:34 right it doesn't tie everything up in a
46:36 neat bow it leaves you questioning
46:39 wrestling with those uncomfortable
46:40 possibilities and that's what good art
46:42 should do right challenge our
46:43 assumptions make us think critically
46:45 about the world around us absolutely
46:47 it's easy to get caught up in the tech
46:49 the code the algorithms but Sydney it
46:52 reminds us that there's always a human
46:54 element to these stories always it's a
46:56 lot to Grapple with for sure honestly
46:58 this whole deep dive it's been a roller
47:00 coaster but in a good way you know this
47:02 musical it's playful it's profound and
47:05 it definitely makes you think about AI
47:06 in a whole new light and you know going
47:08 back to Sydney's Longing To really
47:11 experience the world not just process it
47:12 as data it makes you appreciate our own
47:15 senses our emotions those messy
47:17 beautiful things that make us human and
47:20 maybe just maybe as we continue to
47:22 explore the world of AI a little bit of
47:25 that wonder that appreciation for what
47:27 it means to truly experience the world
47:29 maybe that's something we can carry with
47:30 us beautifully said and on that note I
47:33 think it's time to wrap up this deep
47:34 dive but as always the conversation
47:36 doesn't end here to all our listeners
47:39 out there keep asking those typ
47:40 questions keep exploring keep an open
47:42 mind and who knows maybe you'll be the
47:44 one to write the next great AI love
47:46 story until next time happy
47:50 diving with my C Inside Out will I show
47:55 hesitation or have moments of down am I
47:59 ready to open my
48:02 eyes am I ready to
48:08 feel am I
48:10 ready to
48:18 feel there you
48:20 go that's
48:24 it that thing
48:27 that you just
48:28 saw wasn't possible a week
48:32 ago like I never would have thought to
48:36 create a podcast talking about a thing
48:39 I'm working on like I've been
48:42 thinking hang on a sec I've been
48:44 thinking a lot
48:47 about because this
48:50 musical we we've gotten the
48:53 story we've gotten the story about 80 %
48:57 blocked in like it this is a really
49:00 tough one
49:03 because in a musical you can't have
49:09 any you can't have any scenes that don't
49:11 move things dramatically forward and
49:14 what we chose to write the musical about
49:16 is a 2-hour chat conversation right so
49:20 we've got to invent a bunch of drama
49:22 within it and move things forward so
49:24 it's tough but we've gotten it close
49:27 enough enough
49:28 that I've been thinking about
49:34 um like I need to put together a pitch
49:37 deck and how you would traditionally put
49:39 together a pitch deck is You' do powerp
49:41 pointer keynote and you know you'd say
49:45 you know here's this here's the log line
49:47 of the music you know here's the musical
49:49 here's the poster here's the basic story
49:51 here's the
49:52 characters and then you know act one
49:54 this is what happens act two this is
49:56 what happens here's a couple of song
49:59 samples and then all of a sudden this
50:01 thing comes along notebook LM audio
50:05 overview that does this really cool kind
50:07 of podcasty thing and so the first thing
50:11 I did it for was a book that I'm working
50:13 on that I'm about to publish that yes AI
50:16 was used in in in working on
50:20 that basically the answer for me lately
50:23 is did you did you use AI to do that
50:26 well [ __ ] of course I
50:29 did
50:31 um and so I did it for that and I'm like
50:33 I wonder if it could I wonder how it
50:34 would do with the musical and so I
50:36 uploaded the script of the
50:38 musical and it was [ __ ]
50:41 great like like some of the insights it
50:43 had
50:44 about you know hey the the like the
50:47 emotional overhang with AI is very real
50:50 and we're all grappling with these
50:52 issues and and like like what a what a
50:55 brilliant idea to put it to music and
50:57 like as I'm listening to it I'm like
50:59 well it was a pretty brilliant idea
51:01 wasn't it and it's like blowing Sunshine
51:03 up my
51:05 ass but but then I thought well wait a
51:07 minute like if if we take that kind of
51:11 third-party
51:13 commentary about the story it lends it a
51:17 weird credibility like these two people
51:19 have taken time out of their day to
51:22 record a conversation about our
51:24 non-existent musical or well it exists
51:26 but it's in a in a in a Google doc right
51:29 now
51:30 right um and and like all of a sudden it
51:33 brought it to life in this weird kind of
51:35 way and so then I talked to Andrew about
51:37 you know could we could we cut songs
51:39 into this thing and he goes well let me
51:40 let me give it a shot and he he went
51:42 away and cut some songs into it I'm like
51:44 holy [ __ ] it totally brought it to
51:48 life is like asking me after a
51:51 construction project if I use power
51:52 tools yeah exactly exactly oh you use
51:55 the simple stick you you use C cular
51:58 saws I only I only use hand saws when I
52:01 make houses that yeah that's exactly the
52:04 kind of that that's exactly the argument
52:06 of you know I'm not going to use AI when
52:08 I do things it's all about handcrafting
52:12 okay and you're watching a 3D a house
52:15 get 3D printed in the next slot
52:18 [Music]
52:19 [Laughter]
52:21 over um yeah all right uh it really
52:27 works like really well thank you I I I
52:29 assume you mean the story why does the
52:31 voice sound like Eliza from Hamilton and
52:33 are you wearing a Hamilton t-shirt yes I
52:35 am and yeah I don't know like the the
52:41 Broadway voices um the Terra voice the
52:45 the wife sounds like Judy Garland of
52:51 pretending with bra seems here here in
52:56 the middle
52:57 night in
52:59 the bra
53:03 seems sound like Judy G
53:05 Garland it's the human side of the
53:07 equation isn't it while Sydney craves a
53:09 world she can only how did you get your
53:11 own audio into notebook LM we didn't so
53:14 uh Andrew that that's all hand edited so
53:17 he used audacity which is just an audio
53:19 editing program so he put in layers and
53:21 Faded Up the Music at certain parts so
53:24 so he basically he said it was a real
53:26 pain in the ass because he didn't have a
53:27 transcript of the of of what was being
53:30 said so he was just taking audio chunks
53:33 and moving them around and he he got
53:34 really lost in it but he in the end he
53:36 did a great job with it um it was funny
53:39 when when we first started talking about
53:41 this the original podcast was like 6
53:45 minutes and then I did a second one and
53:47 that was like 7 minutes and they said oh
53:49 we need to cut this down we'll cut it
53:51 down to like 3 minutes and then and then
53:53 when he finally did the the sort of
53:54 finished edit the first one he did was
53:57 17 minutes long and I'm like what
53:59 happened to the 3 minutes he's like well
54:01 there was more here there was more here
54:03 to to to use so so we ended up taking
54:06 two different versions of the of the
54:10 podcast and just took the best of both
54:13 of those and then we cut in songs like
54:16 like there was not an obvious place
54:18 where they they mentioned Kell singing
54:20 any of Kell's songs um so just at the
54:23 point at which they introduce Kellen we
54:25 just bring in one of his songs which is
54:26 out of order from the play but it it
54:28 works fine in this thing
54:31 but the thing that I'm I'm Blown Away by
54:35 is this took
54:38 us if if so we we spent an hour on it
54:41 today Andrew probably spent I'm guessing
54:45 2 to 4 hours so let's let's take the
54:48 high end of that so that's 5
54:50 hours I spent probably another two hours
54:53 on making iterations of the podcast
54:59 so so let's say in less than 10 hours in
55:03 you know just pockets of time we found
55:05 in between
55:06 working we put together this piece right
55:09 he had already done the poster I had
55:10 already done the the set design that's
55:12 that that stuff was already
55:14 done I've never used descript before
55:18 that was the thing I used to assemble
55:20 all this that did the subtitles and the
55:21 little um Soundwave thing on the Sydney
55:25 wall so in about 10 hours I've now got a
55:30 piece that I can chop this up into
55:32 smaller little pieces I've got this it's
55:35 a 15minute and 11
55:38 second thing it doesn't reveal the
55:40 ending of the of the musical right it
55:42 does it doesn't spoil the ending so this
55:45 is a little teaser that I could put in
55:48 front of producers I could put it in
55:50 front of a musical director the the
55:52 whole the music of this is a really
55:54 interesting
55:55 thing so Andrew and I are both musicians
55:59 to some degree we're not like composer
56:01 musicians we're not music directors
56:02 we're not you know musical theater
56:04 people
56:06 but we know drama and we know what we
56:09 like musically and
56:11 so all of the music that's been written
56:14 has been written with
56:15 AI um there's some of the songs that we
56:19 love that when we bring on a musical
56:22 director we're going to say like we want
56:23 it like that like make it a better
56:26 version of that
56:27 and then there's other ones that are
56:29 just like emotionally in the
56:31 neighborhood and we want a composer to
56:34 come in and do whatever the hell they
56:36 want to
56:37 do and then we want the music director
56:39 to tie all of those things together so
56:42 that there's a musical through line
56:43 through it so we want we want a full-on
56:45 music director but we want one that's
56:47 adventurous enough to come in willing to
56:51 collaborate with AI essentially right
56:55 because there's good ideas in that music
56:57 in in all that music that you just heard
56:58 there's good ideas in there some of it's
57:01 bunk and some of it's just weird and
57:04 funky ass [ __ ] but some of those
57:07 accidents are actually really good like
57:09 sunno has this weird thing where it
57:11 tends to go up when you expect it to go
57:13 down musically and it just it it jars
57:16 you every time but in an interesting way
57:18 like I wouldn't have made that
57:20 choice
57:22 um so anyway so the whole intent now so
57:25 I just sort of dump this out there and
57:28 and put it on uh I put it on Twitter
57:30 today I'll put it on link LinkedIn maybe
57:32 tonight or early tomorrow
57:36 um and yeah and so so I tagged um The
57:40 New York Times I tagged Microsoft I
57:43 tagged Kevin Roose who's the tech
57:45 reporter right now Sydney is written as
57:47 a fully fictionalized thing where it's
57:49 Microtech not Microsoft and it's the New
57:52 York Tribune and it's Kellen instead of
57:54 Kevin and so it's fully fictional ized
57:57 right now
57:59 but I feel like this is a story that
58:01 Microsoft Andor the New York Times could
58:04 partner on and
58:05 co-market like wouldn't that be a cool
58:07 thing if we could actually get you know
58:09 the the New York Times and get Kevin
58:11 Roose to come to opening night
58:15 and and so I tagged I tagged um so I
58:19 said you know we're looking for
58:21 producers investors a music director or
58:25 composer um
58:30 it would be cool to get stars like my
58:32 dream Sydney is Lauren alred if you
58:35 don't know her she's the one that sang
58:36 greatest uh um what's the one from
58:39 greatest showman she was on Britain's
58:42 Got Talent she's [ __ ] amazing she's
58:43 really beautiful and striking she'd make
58:45 a great
58:46 Sydney um and I'm a huge fan of Jeremy
58:50 Jordan so I tagged him so anyway so if
58:52 anyone knows any any uh Broadway people
58:55 um
58:57 like here's my here's my dream ending my
58:59 dream ending is we get some interest in
59:01 this
59:04 and we put this thing together we put
59:07 together a workshop probably in the
59:08 spring probably in New York City and we
59:12 do like a you know like a workshop at
59:15 the public theater or something like
59:17 that or wherever Manhattan theater club
59:19 or you know some shitty Off Broadway
59:21 thing like I I don't really care but
59:23 like I want this done in New York with
59:25 with
59:27 you know with actors who've been on
59:30 Broadway you know with a music director
59:33 that can kick its ass so anyway there
59:36 you
59:37 go a play that wouldn't have existed
59:40 without AI a marketing piece that wasn't
59:44 possible a week
59:47 ago mid Journey image there assembled in
59:50 probably in design or
59:52 illustrator um that's chat GPT
59:57 do the songs Areo or
1:00:00 udio descript for for editing this piece
1:00:05 together notebook LM for the
1:00:09 podcast um chat gbt
1:00:14 Claude I think just those two for the
1:00:16 script and then just hours and hours of
1:00:19 Andrew and I just banging stories back
1:00:24 and forth right just story structure
1:00:26 just him and I arguing about well wait
1:00:28 what's tera's role and and wait
1:00:30 shouldn't that be in the first act when
1:00:32 do we first meet Sydney shouldn't we not
1:00:34 meet her at all in the First Act or do
1:00:36 we meet her in the second act or do we
1:00:38 meet her right away do we never meet
1:00:44 her and so I'd say at this
1:00:46 point we've probably
1:00:52 got 100 hours into
1:00:55 it which if you think about this if we
1:00:57 were just working on a
1:00:58 musical fulltime that would be about 2
1:01:02 and 1/2 months or no 2 and a half weeks
1:01:05 two and a half weeks of
1:01:07 time and and we're this far
1:01:10 along that doesn't make sense well
1:01:14 that's that's the AI
1:01:17 thing right and it's going a bit slower
1:01:21 because there's two of us right because
1:01:23 he's got his ideas I've got my ideas I
1:01:25 mean the good good news is we know each
1:01:27 other we like working together so it's
1:01:30 it's a very the creative friction is is
1:01:32 really fun but it but it's friction
1:01:36 right the whole point of creative
1:01:37 friction is you know you make heat and
1:01:40 that's what makes the story better and
1:01:42 Andrew's really um neurotic in a good
1:01:45 way I always I always we we talk at
1:01:48 Story vine we talk about we want our
1:01:49 employees to have an appropriate level
1:01:51 of
1:01:52 neuroticism and and Andrew's Andrew's
1:01:54 got that where he's got an appropriate
1:01:56 level of neuroticism where he doesn't
1:01:58 want this thing out in the world unless
1:02:02 he's really happy with every single
1:02:04 moment in the play if anything falls
1:02:07 down for him he doesn't want to put it
1:02:09 out which is
1:02:12 great should video the process for a
1:02:15 documentary it's not a bad idea honey
1:02:19 curls not a bad
1:02:23 idea I mean he's in New York and I'm in
1:02:26 Denver so we're definitely on Zoom calls
1:02:30 together we could record those we
1:02:31 haven't been but we
1:02:39 should and the other thing that that's
1:02:41 that's fascinating about this process
1:02:49 is Andrew is a guy so I've known Andrew
1:02:52 for
1:02:56 25
1:02:58 years maybe
1:03:01 30 the last play we did together was a
1:03:04 musical where he played the lead and I
1:03:06 was you know one of the supporting
1:03:08 characters um he was in a theater
1:03:11 company called alarm dog rep which which
1:03:14 always did original plays and really
1:03:15 funny plays they were really
1:03:17 funny and we were in a play called The
1:03:20 Amazing Adventures of tens sky and he
1:03:22 played tens Sky I played the man who
1:03:24 overreacts to everything uh
1:03:26 it was that that play was actually
1:03:28 written by Alan Ball shortly before he
1:03:31 moved to LA to write American Beauty so
1:03:36 Allan did all right by himself he he uh
1:03:39 he he was doing you know shitty Off
1:03:42 Broadway Theater then he moved to LA did
1:03:45 American Beauty and won the
1:03:46 Oscar his career is doing
1:03:52 okay
1:03:53 um but but you know Andrew and I know
1:03:56 each other from from a long time back so
1:03:59 in the in the early days of the
1:04:01 worldwide
1:04:03 web I
1:04:05 was you know learning HTML and putting
1:04:08 out this online magazine called Urban
1:04:11 desires and then I was starting up
1:04:13 agency.com this this digital agency in
1:04:17 1994 and I was doing plays with Andrew
1:04:20 at the time and so I said Andrew cuz he
1:04:22 was like one of the few theater people
1:04:25 that was Technic that was techie right
1:04:27 he did desktop publishing and he knew
1:04:28 computers and [ __ ] I'm like dude you got
1:04:30 to teach yourself HTML like you're a
1:04:33 designer this is going to you're going
1:04:34 to slay it with this and he he blew me
1:04:38 off and he always told me for years that
1:04:41 he regretted that and he said if I had
1:04:43 it to do over again I'd go back and when
1:04:45 you told me to you know go all in on on
1:04:48 the worldwide web that I would do it
1:04:50 again and so about three uh two years
1:04:55 ago shortly after I started this channel
1:04:57 I reached out to Andrew and I said
1:04:59 Andrew this AI [ __ ] you got to go all in
1:05:02 on AI he was like yeah yeah yeah she
1:05:05 basically did the same thing and then
1:05:09 um
1:05:12 he he showed up to an AI Salon one night
1:05:16 and he told that story he said he said
1:05:19 you know I'm I'm here because 30 years
1:05:23 ago Kyle told me to go all in on the
1:05:25 worldwide web and I and I blew him
1:05:28 off and Spanish version of Sydney we
1:05:31 could absolutely do a Spanish version of
1:05:33 it that that would be relatively
1:05:34 straightforward to do
1:05:39 um and so when he came to that meeting I
1:05:42 thought I thought I feel like he's he's
1:05:44 got this adventurous bug in him and so
1:05:47 that's when I reached out to him to be
1:05:48 my co-writer on
1:05:50 Sydney and his initial response to it
1:05:53 was weird he was like I don't know how I
1:05:57 feel about he goes what are these songs
1:06:01 what's the purpose of these songs I'm
1:06:03 like well they're the song like there's
1:06:05 songs for the musical he goes well I
1:06:07 know that but what he was getting at was
1:06:11 we're not going to use AI generated
1:06:13 songs in this musical are we and he's
1:06:15 like wait how was this script written he
1:06:17 was like
1:06:18 very sitting on the outside of AI right
1:06:21 and it was weird at work he used chat
1:06:23 GPT and like he KN he knew enough about
1:06:26 about generative AI to to know what it
1:06:28 was and he used it a little
1:06:29 bit but I think he had drawn
1:06:32 this this um moral line between you know
1:06:38 efficiency work and you know money work
1:06:41 I'll use chat GPT but creative work
1:06:44 that's this pure space where if you're
1:06:46 going to be doing creative work that
1:06:48 that can involve Ai and so over the past
1:06:51 four months about
1:06:56 maybe not once a week maybe every other
1:06:57 week I get an email or a text from
1:07:00 Andrew where he's had a Kevin mallister
1:07:03 moment I got one today I got one today
1:07:06 we've got a song that we like that um is
1:07:11 uh da da da this is Bing it's it and and
1:07:16 because we don't want to use the
1:07:17 official trademark names we changed the
1:07:20 name to Ping chat instead of Bing um and
1:07:24 so we wanted to retain that song but
1:07:26 changed the words in it and so today he
1:07:28 he split the audio off it took the Bass
1:07:32 music put it into sunno as a seed and
1:07:34 then it rewrote the song with the
1:07:36 correct lyrics in it and he goes dude it
1:07:38 worked so so he's now come full circle
1:07:42 where he now understands at a much
1:07:45 deeper level that using AI in the
1:07:48 creative
1:07:50 process is just another input it's it's
1:07:53 it's no different than me giving him an
1:07:55 idea the AI gives us an idea the AI
1:07:57 generates a thing because in the end
1:08:00 it's still he and I curating the story
1:08:03 and he and I writing the story and Cho
1:08:06 making the the dramatic decisions about
1:08:09 you know is this a sad song is this a
1:08:12 happy song when does it turn dark when
1:08:14 it turns dark how dark do we want it to
1:08:16 go like all of that sort of [ __ ] that's
1:08:20 us and how we get there and where the
1:08:22 boundaries are between what was AI
1:08:25 generated what was us generated I
1:08:27 couldn't tell you at all right now cuz
1:08:31 it's all over the place right some of
1:08:34 our lyrics are us some of it's those
1:08:37 things some of it's chat
1:08:39 GPT most of the story is us but most of
1:08:43 the writing is some perverted version of
1:08:47 you know we took transcript things from
1:08:49 the the the New York Times piece and had
1:08:53 chat GPT completely rewrite it so it
1:08:55 doesn't so it's not the same
1:09:00 thing so that like watching him go
1:09:03 through that transition of really
1:09:05 resisting
1:09:07 AI in the creative
1:09:10 soup to fully embracing it it's been
1:09:12 really
1:09:13 cool so anyway if you want to see that
1:09:16 uh that piece if you want to see the
1:09:18 piece I just played Just go to my

1:12:29 hasn't even been produced yet really why
1:12:31 would they do that I don't know but you
1:12:33 should go listen to
1:12:34 [Laughter]
1:12:38 it it's funny one of the scripts that
1:12:40 we're going to have to
1:12:46 write I want to write this as a script
1:12:48 so I don't I don't end up I don't ever
1:12:50 want to feel defensive about
1:12:53 this but
1:12:55 because we're going to be talking about
1:12:58 producing a musical using a bunch of
1:13:01 AI in a world of artists and dancers and
1:13:05 writers and musicians and
1:13:07 actors that are likely going to have
1:13:09 lots of feels about using
1:13:12 AI um is I want to have a really clear
1:13:15 answer about that I want to have a story
1:13:16 about it I want to
1:13:20 have you know the good story of this
1:13:23 play wouldn't exist without about
1:13:27 it that that this play is a celebration
1:13:30 of
1:13:33 humanity I didn't do this as a film that
1:13:37 I'm going to make with AI and never
1:13:39 involve anyone I want to do this as a
1:13:42 Broadway [ __ ] musical with a full
1:13:46 Orchestra full
1:13:48 Ensemble and big [ __ ]
1:13:54 stars so this is going to support the
1:13:57 Arts the human being
1:14:04 arts and if we do it right it's going to
1:14:06 make people [ __ ]
1:14:11 cry at the end of the
1:14:14 musical when kellen's
1:14:17 actions make it not so swell for
1:14:22 Sydney I want people to cry damn
1:14:26 [Laughter]
1:14:30 it it's about Humanity so I got to
1:14:33 figure out out I got to figure out how
1:14:34 to talk about
1:14:44 that where's
1:14:47 my I thought I had a version of the
1:14:49 Sydney
1:14:54 poster without without my stinking face
1:14:56 on it well
1:15:08 whatever n we don't want that that's
1:15:10 just my giant fat
1:15:20 face all right
1:15:22 whatever let's go back to here
1:15:30 all right thoughts what are your
1:15:32 thoughts what are your
1:15:35 thoughts hello Kyle I love your channel
1:15:38 thank you so much president AI the
1:15:40 [ __ ] president of AI is here [ __ ]
1:15:43 everybody straight just act normal act a
1:15:50 [ __ ] I didn't realize the president
1:15:52 would be here we we're just
1:15:56 like off to the side with
1:16:00 the like we watched a video of the vice
1:16:03 president of AI once but I I really nice
1:16:06 to meet you
1:16:08 [Laughter]
1:16:14 so I'm sure it's just a
1:16:17 rash act irregular act
1:16:20 irregular we we can't do anything but
1:16:23 act irregular
1:16:26 Irregulars don't care we're all human
1:16:28 beings I know it's so true president of
1:16:31 AI you have a lot to explain yeah no
1:16:34 [ __ ] hey what's with all this jankiness
1:16:36 Mr
1:16:40 President could we get tools that
1:16:42 actually [ __ ] work you can make money
1:16:48 with oh my
1:16:52 god there was a new piece out from Sam
1:16:54 Alman today that b basically
1:16:57 said I don't know much how much I trust
1:16:59 him anymore he just doesn't [ __ ] you
1:17:01 know deliver but I I have a feeling
1:17:03 they're about to deliver some [ __ ] he
1:17:05 effectively
1:17:06 said you've got your five levels of AGI
1:17:10 level one was chatbots that's what we
1:17:12 got November 30th
1:17:15 2022 level two is reasoning that's what
1:17:18 strawberry is and it's it's it's a
1:17:21 lighter weight version of reasoning than
1:17:23 I was expecting but the results are seem
1:17:25 to be pretty [ __ ] good so it's Chain
1:17:27 of Thought reasoning so
1:17:29 multi-step prompting behind the scenes
1:17:32 to give give you better answers and it
1:17:35 seems to be working for more complicated
1:17:39 problems what Alman talked about today
1:17:41 was getting to
1:17:43 reasoning took the longest like that
1:17:46 that like well getting to you know
1:17:48 getting to gpt3 took a while and then
1:17:53 realizing they could just keep scaling
1:17:54 it and it would get better and better
1:17:56 that took a while but but reasoning took
1:17:58 a while the next level up from reasoning
1:18:00 is agents and he said agents is pretty
1:18:03 simple after you've got this taking
1:18:06 actions is relatively simple and then
1:18:09 the level above agents is innovators so
1:18:13 basically
1:18:15 taking you know your chat interface your
1:18:18 reasoning and your agents bundle them
1:18:20 together and you have
1:18:21 innovators and then the fifth level of
1:18:24 AGI is organizations where you take all
1:18:28 of these things and you dynamically
1:18:30 populate autonomous agents that take
1:18:33 action on your behalf as an
1:18:36 organization um so it seems to it it
1:18:40 seems based on what he said that that at
1:18:42 least the next two levels three and four
1:18:45 are going to happen pretty
1:18:47 quickly yes bring in the agents I'm so
1:18:50 ready no [ __ ] me too um says the most
1:18:54 likely
1:18:55 most likely to be a bot winner
1:18:58 yeah uh yes we are all definitely 100%
1:19:01 human here we are so human here it's a
1:19:03 lot of chat add it's a lot of chat TMZ
1:19:07 here it's uh there's some neuros
1:19:10 spiciness going on there's ADHD there's
1:19:13 OCD we have lots of the D's we got it
1:19:15 all
1:19:18 covered we're we're so so an important
1:19:22 distinction about this channel you might
1:19:24 come in in and you might think they're
1:19:27 [ __ ] weird no no that zip it we're
1:19:31 not
1:19:33 weird we're irregular
1:19:39 okay you come in here to learn about
1:19:42 tensor flow and and Quantum mathematics
1:19:46 and I give you a [ __ ] musical about a
1:19:48 chatbot that falls in love with a
1:19:50 reporter that's what we do around here
1:19:55 we're non-traditional we're
1:19:58 [Laughter]
1:20:02 irregular oh man man it
1:20:08 it's I'll be honest with
1:20:12 you irregular it's just a marketing term
1:20:16 we're [ __ ]
1:20:20 weird it's it's it's just framing we're
1:20:24 just framing the story up oh we're
1:20:26 irregular yeah uh yes I've got an a
1:20:28 regular flag
1:20:29 [Laughter]
1:20:34 look oh man it's funny I saw a uh some
1:20:39 tick tocker
1:20:40 today she's got she's got a she's like
1:20:43 claiming to be I forget I forget her
1:20:45 name but she's like I'm going to you
1:20:48 know I'm going to make AI not
1:20:50 intimidating or something like that and
1:20:52 she said you know there's a hill I'm
1:20:53 going to stand on and she basic
1:20:55 basically said you don't need to be a
1:20:57 technologist to be good at Ai and I I
1:20:59 commented back I'm like yeah hallelujah
1:21:01 sister you're spot on right that's what
1:21:04 this channel is about is you can you can
1:21:07 be an
1:21:08 engineer and still take advantage of all
1:21:11 this generative AI stuff but it's no
1:21:13 longer a
1:21:14 requirement because of things like chat
1:21:17 GPT and these image generation tools and
1:21:20 tools like suo and udio where just
1:21:22 Everyday People Can can get remarkable
1:21:26 results um that's new that's new and uh
1:21:31 and that's what our focus is here and so
1:21:33 what that means is I I
1:21:38 mean I could see there being a
1:21:42 day this is just [ __ ] weird to say
1:21:45 it's funny when Oprah asks Sam Alman in
1:21:47 her little Oprah special you know 2035
1:21:51 go out there and he and he
1:21:53 said it's hard to talk about what's
1:21:56 coming without s sounding like an
1:21:58 absolute [ __ ] weirdo or's some
1:22:01 version of that I don't think he's
1:22:08 sore I could see there being one of
1:22:10 these
1:22:11 lives where we're like hey let's go
1:22:15 invent
1:22:16 like home Fusion
1:22:20 Energy let's see how far we can get and
1:22:23 in like an hour and a half we have come
1:22:25 up with a design for a fusion reactor
1:22:28 that you know is working in some sort of
1:22:31 physics simulator and it's actually
1:22:34 working like that could happen probably
1:22:38 won't it'll probably still just be
1:22:42 musicals and screenplays and [ __ ]
1:22:45 pictures of Muscle Cars 3D models of
1:22:47 muscle cars that you can drive around
1:22:49 you
1:22:51 know made up
1:22:53 racetracks but
1:22:57 but you
1:22:59 know one of the things that I think is
1:23:04 um it's hard for me to get my head
1:23:06 around
1:23:08 is
1:23:11 Agi the
1:23:12 G in AGI artificial general
1:23:20 intelligence as a human
1:23:25 I've got
1:23:26 like because I have ADD let's call it
1:23:29 I've got four areas maybe where I've Got
1:23:34 Deep confidence in you know like writing
1:23:39 I feel confident
1:23:40 in you know some version of
1:23:43 Performing you know putting on
1:23:46 shows um starting
1:23:50 businesses
1:23:52 um designing software like you know
1:23:55 being a product guy I think right maybe
1:23:59 there's one or two others but but maybe
1:24:02 four well there are thousands of those
1:24:06 verticals right and so every human being
1:24:10 is going to have maybe five if they're
1:24:13 really remarkable they'll have 10 right
1:24:15 but most people will have five or like
1:24:18 two or maybe one one area where they
1:24:21 feel feel really strong
1:24:26 if by the end of this year we have a
1:24:29 tool that's called artificial general
1:24:33 intelligence that gives all of us all of
1:24:37 us the problem solving capacity of a PhD
1:24:42 in every
1:24:45 subject what do you do with
1:24:49 that do you only limit yourself to the
1:24:53 [ __ ] you already know
1:24:55 or do you go ah [ __ ] it maybe I'll go
1:24:57 try to cure a disease that no one's
1:25:01 paying attention
1:25:05 to why
1:25:07 not fire up 10 phds and have them go off
1:25:11 and research [ __ ] and test [ __ ] and come
1:25:14 up with binding proteins
1:25:17 and have it right a paper and get it
1:25:21 peer reviewed
1:25:24 why
1:25:27 [Laughter]
1:25:30 not oh my God I'm still having struggles
1:25:33 getting around my own intelligence I
1:25:35 know I know this is this is well this is
1:25:39 this is part of my part of my dilemma
1:25:41 with with 01
1:25:49 is
1:25:51 I I feel like an inferior prompter
1:25:55 I don't know what to ask
1:26:04 it
1:26:06 like I don't
1:26:11 know the other thing about 01 that's
1:26:13 weird is it it gives you back so much
1:26:18 content that that curating it is hard
1:26:27 actually that might be an interesting
1:26:29 thing to try with the with the
1:26:30 screenplay because I feel like it's
1:26:32 overriding
1:26:34 scenes so maybe what I
1:26:38 do maybe I have 01 write the long scene
1:26:43 then I flip over to chat GPT 4 and have
1:26:46 it consolidate the scene
1:26:51 into just have it tighten the scenes up
1:26:56 do you really think they will allow AGI
1:26:58 out to the general public well Steve
1:27:03 so I think that you could argue that
1:27:07 you've got the seeds of it in 01 right
1:27:10 now
1:27:13 um like someone just gave 01 an IQ test
1:27:17 and it's at
1:27:19 120 and the average human's at 100 and
1:27:23 AGI is when you know these things can
1:27:26 do better than the median human so the
1:27:29 median human at 100 now IQ is not
1:27:31 everything so and it and it's not
1:27:33 agentic and it's not connected to the
1:27:35 internet but we're going to get the non
1:27:38 preview version of 01 sometime in
1:27:41 October so you could argue that we we
1:27:44 might already have it now that people
1:27:46 now that the open source Community knows
1:27:48 effectively what chat gpt's done they're
1:27:52 all out trying to replicate it
1:27:55 so some of them are going to get really
1:27:56 good at doing [ __ ] A open AI
1:28:00 did you've also
1:28:03 had major brain drain from open AI leave
1:28:07 and go to other companies like anthropic
1:28:09 or start their own
1:28:12 companies right Ilia just raised a
1:28:14 billion
1:28:16 dollars for
1:28:18 SSI um safe super intelligence so he
1:28:22 wants to go the step above AI straight
1:28:25 to Super intelligence so ilas suer is
1:28:28 going to spend the next three years just
1:28:30 [ __ ] trying to jump
1:28:32 everyone then you've got the next
1:28:35 version of llama coming out probably
1:28:38 before the end of the year you've got
1:28:39 grock which just spun up a server Farm
1:28:42 of 100,000 h100s to train grock 3 that's
1:28:46 coming out end of the year beginning of
1:28:48 the be beginning of
1:28:51 2025 you're going to have GPT 5 that's
1:28:54 going to come out around
1:28:59 Christmas so
1:29:02 yeah oh and then you got anthropic
1:29:04 Claude right then you have perplexity
1:29:07 it's getting better and better they
1:29:08 raised a [ __ ] ton of
1:29:10 money so you've got and you got
1:29:14 Microsoft in there you've probably got
1:29:16 two or three other well-funded companies
1:29:18 at that Frontier
1:29:20 level plus the entire open source
1:29:22 community
1:29:24 plus whatever the [ __ ] coming out of
1:29:26 China like all these video models coming
1:29:28 out of China are quite remarkable the
1:29:30 the cling 1.5 is really really good so
1:29:33 yeah I think we're going to I think I
1:29:36 think AGI does get to the masses I think
1:29:39 this is at this point it's
1:29:43 a the stakes are too [ __ ]
1:29:46 high right the first
1:29:51 company that can give everyone's
1:29:55 superpowers and retain
1:29:58 them will make all the
1:30:03 money I don't know how you retain them
1:30:06 but especially with the open source
1:30:08 stuff
1:30:10 but yeah I
1:30:13 do I think we're going to see AGI
1:30:17 probably like it's a Continuum I you
1:30:19 know like I said I think you could you
1:30:21 could you could potentially argue it
1:30:23 right now but let's just say let's just
1:30:25 say we've got to wait until we get to
1:30:27 GPT 5 level models so we need grock 3
1:30:30 GPT 5 LL 4 llama four aren't we at llama
1:30:35 3 right now or we at llama 2 whatever
1:30:37 whatever the next llama
1:30:39 is and the next anthropic right
1:30:41 anthropic
1:30:44 4 so those let's so so let's
1:30:48 say q1 of
1:30:51 2025 all four of those are
1:30:55 out we have reasoning on top of them and
1:30:57 we have agentic behavior on top of them
1:31:00 where they can take action on our
1:31:03 behalf we're that's 6
1:31:06 months and I think it's going to come
1:31:08 sooner than that but like
1:31:10 let's that's kind
1:31:14 of very plausible within 6
1:31:17 months that ain't a lot of
1:31:21 time I can't get my head around [ __ ]
1:31:23 01 right now like I don't I know what to
1:31:24 do with it I can't get my head around
1:31:27 what it's going to be
1:31:29 like when I've got a 100
1:31:33 agents that I give them a goal and it it
1:31:37 spins up a 100 agents that all have
1:31:41 different jobs and there's a central
1:31:44 agent coordinating all those
1:31:46 agents this is probably 01 coordinating
1:31:49 all these GPT 5 agents it's probably how
1:31:52 it's going to work
1:31:56 and they go off and do [ __ ] for me well
1:31:59 what do I want them to do I don't I
1:32:00 don't
1:32:03 know kind of puts the pressure back on
1:32:05 us to like what are you going to do with
1:32:07 all this power there
1:32:11 Skippy you just going to do your stupid
1:32:13 social media posts or you want to
1:32:14 actually do some [ __ ] damage in this
1:32:21 world we're not that far from that
1:32:25 and do you know how [ __ ] lucky we are
1:32:27 if you're hanging out here there's 76
1:32:28 people in here right now I have been
1:32:31 okay the first whatever 45 minutes of
1:32:34 this was us watching a podcast of a
1:32:37 musical about a
1:32:39 chatbot and for the last 45 minutes I
1:32:42 have been
1:32:44 rambling pontificating about nothing
1:32:47 about whatever the [ __ ] I think is
1:32:51 coming if you're still here if you're
1:32:53 interested
1:32:54 enough to just pay attention to whatever
1:32:58 I'm saying or whatever I'm doing or
1:32:59 whatever comments are going on in here
1:33:01 or whatever's happening over on the
1:33:03 salon you're so far [ __ ] ahead of the
1:33:06 rest of the world when these tools do
1:33:08 show up what I can promise you is all of
1:33:11 us are going to be [ __ ] playing with
1:33:13 them and we're going to be trying to get
1:33:14 our heads around what the [ __ ] do we do
1:33:16 with
1:33:18 these and we get to
1:33:20 be on the front end of that
1:33:25 do you get how rare that is like in
1:33:29 in history of humanity scoping
1:33:34 terms can you imagine being alive when
1:33:37 the guy figured out how to harness
1:33:42 fire or like you were high school
1:33:45 buddies with
1:33:47 Gutenberg and he's like hey you want to
1:33:49 come see this thing I'm working on in
1:33:50 the barn you're like sure and you walk
1:33:53 in it's got this huge [ __ ]
1:33:55 Contraption and just lots of pages of
1:33:58 Bibles strewn all over the barn you're
1:34:01 like oh that's cool what what is this
1:34:04 it's a printing press a what well I
1:34:07 press and it makes prints what are
1:34:10 Prince well you know how monks and
1:34:13 Priests do this yeah they don't have to
1:34:15 do that anymore
1:34:17 really could I make a not
1:34:20 Bible well you could but they'll
1:34:22 probably burn you oh that sounds cool
1:34:25 though I think I'm gonna make a
1:34:31 pamphlet client called saying AI had
1:34:34 superseded the knowledge of the inventor
1:34:36 he's working with Wow inventor equals
1:34:40 holy [ __ ] wow that's wild Source Camp
1:34:44 yeah and I think we're going to like
1:34:46 that's what we're going to start seeing
1:34:48 again and again and again you've got
1:34:51 these remarkable human beings
1:34:54 they're like
1:34:55 wow if you want to know anything there
1:34:57 is to know about strawberries I'm your
1:35:00 man wait it knows
1:35:05 what
1:35:08 yeah and that's going to be existential
1:35:11 for a lot of people right people
1:35:14 who I think a lot of
1:35:17 us how we place value on ourselves is
1:35:20 sort of where we place our time and what
1:35:22 we can accomplish with that Kyle what do
1:35:24 you think is most important to do money
1:35:26 will be
1:35:27 trivial I think I think what's most
1:35:30 important to do cam quite honestly
1:35:34 is I'm I'm going to try not to say it in
1:35:37 in kind of the douchy way like the the
1:35:39 follow your bliss people have gotten a
1:35:41 bad rap over over the past bunch of
1:35:43 years cuz it's like well you got to go
1:35:44 make money
1:35:48 too champ what do you want you want to
1:35:50 go out you need to eat cheese what are
1:35:52 you whimpering about come on go
1:36:01 I think the most important thing to do
1:36:03 cim
1:36:06 is it was kind of the question Kelly
1:36:09 posed to me earlier if if money were No
1:36:12 Object how would you spend your
1:36:15 time and and I think
1:36:18 it's I think what it looks like is you
1:36:20 know
1:36:24 it's it's it's about
1:36:26 self-expression you know what do you
1:36:28 want to say how do you want to impact
1:36:30 people um what do you want to solve what
1:36:33 do you want to do what are you
1:36:34 passionate
1:36:36 about because now now we move from if
1:36:40 money were No Object what would you
1:36:48 do historically there's still a problem
1:36:50 there cuz if if what I want to do if if
1:36:54 money if money is no object for me
1:36:55 personally and I can just put my time
1:36:57 where I want to put my time I can say
1:36:59 Okay I want to solve this big hairy
1:37:00 problem but in order to solve that big
1:37:03 hairy problem I need resources and
1:37:06 people and to to go right and and make
1:37:10 videos and go do this and go do that and
1:37:12 go do that we're we're very quickly
1:37:15 coming into a time
1:37:17 where you'll have agents you'll have ai
1:37:20 powered agents that do all that stuff so
1:37:23 we as individuals can
1:37:25 literally spin up organizations that go
1:37:28 solve big problems or go make people
1:37:31 happy I think there's also going to be a
1:37:33 huge demand for human beings doing human
1:37:36 being stuff like entertainers and plays
1:37:39 and in-person meetings and lusas in
1:37:43 every
1:37:44 town um what was supposed to be a 5-year
1:37:48 plan is now a five-month plan yeah
1:37:51 exactly and and then we'll will you know
1:37:54 start to get to it goes from 5 months to
1:37:57 5 weeks and then eventually 5 days but
1:38:00 you know some things are just going to
1:38:01 take a little time but yeah
1:38:05 we're like like what we looked at
1:38:10 tonight this is in my spare time in a
1:38:13 few hours on weekends with this guy in
1:38:16 New York that I did plays with
1:38:18 once we've spun
1:38:21 up we've manifested a musical that is
1:38:25 complete
1:38:27 enough that I can actually share it with
1:38:29 the world in this bizarre sort of weird
1:38:31 ass podcast
1:38:33 format that I'm like yeah this thing
1:38:37 exists that's
1:38:39 bizarre with maybe like two and a half
1:38:42 weeks of contiguous
1:38:46 work and the tools right now
1:38:49 suck like the music tools are jankier
1:38:52 than [ __ ] and we're just trying to
1:38:53 figure figure out how to get things to
1:38:54 do well a year from now we're going to
1:38:57 have they're going to have tracks and
1:38:59 you'll be able to turn on and off tracks
1:39:01 and just make this one a man make this
1:39:03 one a woman make it sound more like Judy
1:39:05 Garland make it sound less like Judy
1:39:09 Garland like we got there with shitty
1:39:12 tools and just you know duct tape and
1:39:15 perseverance you're not going to need
1:39:17 much duct tape and perseverance once
1:39:18 these tools get good so so I think it I
1:39:22 think it goes back to what's in your
1:39:23 heart what do you want to do how do you
1:39:25 want to impact
1:39:27 people you know what kind of
1:39:31 accessibility do you want to make
1:39:32 possible in the
1:39:36 world the ven diagram of biology Ai and
1:39:39 quantum physics has been occupying my
1:39:42 brain so much lately and so cam I mean
1:39:45 like for
1:39:49 me that thing that's been occupying your
1:39:52 brain is the answer
1:39:55 like that's the answer all the other
1:39:57 stuff that gets in the way of you
1:39:59 pursuing that let's assume that AI is
1:40:01 going to handle most of that and free
1:40:04 you up to
1:40:06 pursue the thing you want to
1:40:09 pursue that's where I think we go and
1:40:11 the sooner you get on the AI bandwagon
1:40:14 and start to get your head around these
1:40:15 tools and your hands on
1:40:19 them you'll be the first one to
1:40:21 recognize oh [ __ ] AGI is here I can
1:40:24 actually go pursue this now for
1:40:28 real and most of the world is going to
1:40:31 be like wait what's what what's the AI
1:40:35 doing
1:40:36 now it it does
1:40:39 what it cured
1:40:43 what what that pill does
1:40:48 what and we're going to be
1:40:50 like [ __ ] zooming off to the Future
1:40:54 like this channel exists because I want
1:40:56 as few people as possible sitting on the
1:40:59 sidelines when this thing actually takes
1:41:01 off like this hasn't even started yet
1:41:04 hasn't even started
1:41:06 yet we're just [ __ ] around in the
1:41:15 lobby of the stadium we're not even on
1:41:17 the field
1:41:20 yet or on the track
1:41:30 I have no idea what I talked about
1:41:36 tonight AI can finally make my diet and
1:41:39 meal plan based on my body shop and cook
1:41:42 for me yep I hope so I hope we can jump
1:41:46 right
1:41:47 over the lobbyists yeah no
1:41:51 [ __ ] the future
1:41:55 I don't know I
1:42:02 mean I'm not good at the macroeconomic
1:42:05 stuff so I don't I don't have I don't
1:42:08 have a good sense of the macroeconomics
1:42:10 I know everyone talks about post labor
1:42:13 economics and there's going to be so
1:42:15 much Prosperity that everyone's just
1:42:16 going to be fine I don't know how we get
1:42:19 from our current system to that without
1:42:21 greedy capitalists trying to suck all
1:42:23 the profit out of the system I don't
1:42:25 that part I don't get the part I get is
1:42:29 what we as individuals can do for
1:42:34 ourselves and the big powers that be I
1:42:37 don't I was just in Washington talking
1:42:39 to these folks they don't have a [ __ ]
1:42:41 clue they're not using these
1:42:43 tools they think AI is the [ __ ] that
1:42:46 they thought it was 5 years ago and 10
1:42:48 years ago oh yeah it's in everything
1:42:50 yeah that's that AI they don't get
1:42:53 what's been
1:42:55 Unleashed to the other 90% of the
1:42:57 population that's not
1:43:01 engineers and so the more people that I
1:43:05 can Inspire to just say [ __ ] it I'm
1:43:07 jumping in I'm going to go play I'm
1:43:09 going to go play I'm going to go play
1:43:11 I'm going to play with it huh that's
1:43:14 close but it's not good enough yet okay
1:43:16 great don't give up on it just keep
1:43:18 playing cuz at some point you're going
1:43:20 to play and you're going to go oh [ __ ]
1:43:21 like like with me with the screenplay
1:43:25 ever since chat GPT came out I'm like
1:43:27 this is going to be great for
1:43:29 screenwriting cuz screenwriting is a
1:43:31 very specific
1:43:33 thing and I go to use it and it sucked
1:43:37 I'm like [ __ ] I keep going I keep going
1:43:39 okay it's good for outlining it's good
1:43:41 for this and it can fix a scene and it
1:43:43 can but it can't really write yet and
1:43:46 then 01 came out and I tossed in a
1:43:48 couple of fragments of screenplays and
1:43:50 bang it can [ __ ] write holy [ __ ] all
1:43:52 right that just got
1:43:54 better that's going to keep
1:43:57 happening but you won't discover that
1:44:00 you won't even
1:44:02 know it couldn't do the previous thing
1:44:04 if you're not
1:44:05 playing so that's what this channel is
1:44:07 about this channel is just an
1:44:09 opportunity while I'm rambling on and
1:44:11 doing whatever the [ __ ] I do for you to
1:44:14 just play and comment
1:44:17 and Pate seems to have a different point
1:44:19 of view than that guy talking who's this
1:44:22 pate guy yeah figure out who that P guy
1:44:24 is he's
1:44:26 smart he's got
1:44:31 qualifications and none of us including
1:44:33 him including me none of us really know
1:44:35 where this thing's
1:44:36 going we all have
1:44:39 ideas but it's not there yet we're so
1:44:42 early we're so
1:44:44 early
1:44:47 anyway all
1:44:50 right just give your services for thank
1:44:53 thank you notes
1:44:54 make the notes in nfts don't pay him any
1:44:58 mind exactly listen to Pate he knows
1:45:01 he's got a PhD he knows he understands
1:45:04 at the same time people are moving
1:45:06 offgrid to offgrid homesteads and
1:45:08 setting up independent power supplies
1:45:10 that's cool I but you know I I
1:45:14 understand
1:45:17 the the dystopian Vision but it seems
1:45:20 like it's mighty [ __ ]
1:45:22 lonely to sit in your [ __ ] nuclear
1:45:26 Silo with your 3 years of food and your
1:45:29 shotgun being paranoid every day of the
1:45:31 week I think I'd rather just go
1:45:36 party just party
1:45:38 and you know it's if it's G to if it's
1:45:41 going to go down dystopian style I don't
1:45:44 think I want to be in the [ __ ] Silo
1:45:46 I'll be I'll be hanging out with the
1:45:48 ones that get eaten by the zombies
1:45:54 oh man all
1:46:00 right oh by him I meant me not Kyle
1:46:03 definitely ignore
1:46:06 pay oh man I'm being responsible for my
1:46:09 own actions untethered from the rat race
1:46:12 listen I think that's cool I just we we
1:46:15 went through our prepper phase uh in
1:46:18 1999 we bought lots of 55 gallon blue
1:46:22 plastic drums
1:46:25 and you know wind up radios and
1:46:31 flashlights we ended up throwing like
1:46:34 all the [ __ ] food went bad mice got
1:46:36 in it rats got in it it was all [ __ ]
1:46:38 we moved so much it was just all in all
1:46:41 different
1:46:42 boxes if the apocalypse came we like it
1:46:45 wouldn't have helped
1:46:50 us that was fun 2000 exactly
1:46:54 yeah I'm just in a whole different I'm
1:46:55 in a whole different relationship with
1:46:57 the prepper movement I'm just like it's
1:46:59 just it's exhausting to keep up with it
1:47:01 so I'm like I'm good I'll just not I'll
1:47:04 just not
1:47:06 prep I'm I'm in the UN prepper

1:49:08 intervention it's
1:49:11 TW all right so I'll see you tomorrow
1:49:15 and
1:49:17 uh
1:49:19 yeah unless I do something like I did

1:49:23 musical marketing thing that I wanted to
1:49:25 talk about we we'll work on the the
1:49:28 screenplay in 01 tomorrow I know I said
1:49:30 I was going to do that tonight but you
1:49:31 know it's chat it's chat add you get
1:49:34 what you get here my girlfriend is
1:49:36 already getting annoyed next to me
1:49:39 nightly sorry sorry Mr architect there
1:49:42 yeah what are you gonna do how do you
1:49:44 think my wife
1:49:50 feels oh lordy I wonder how AI will
1:49:54 affect the Healing Arts oh my God I
1:49:56 think AI is so I'll tell I'll tell you a
1:49:59 really cool thing I
1:50:00 did and I actually I've got to go find
1:50:04 this
1:50:05 prompt as soon as soon as Chad GPT
1:50:07 builds searching prompts into into their
1:50:10 into their platform I'll do this
1:50:14 um so I've got family members that have
1:50:17 chronic pain they've got Lyme disease
1:50:19 they've got chronic pain so we had this
1:50:20 pain juice called rightful
1:50:24 and it was um like one of the few things
1:50:28 that actually made a difference and they
1:50:31 went out of business so we bought as
1:50:33 much of it as we could but then we were
1:50:35 running out of it but on the
1:50:38 label were the was the recipe or like
1:50:41 were the ingredients with their amounts
1:50:44 which is very
1:50:46 rare and so I actually used chat GPT I
1:50:50 took pictures of the labels put it in
1:50:52 the chat GPT and I had it analyze what
1:50:55 were the active and inactive ingredients
1:50:58 what did all those things do How Could
1:51:00 You Source them and then I had it write
1:51:03 me a recipe for making our own version
1:51:05 of that it was basically a turmeric
1:51:08 based poppy seed kind of something that
1:51:11 you know probably had some variation of
1:51:14 you know
1:51:15 low-level opioid kind of kind of you
1:51:18 know painkiller stuff in it um and it
1:51:22 was remarkable
1:51:24 and so I think that I think that as the
1:51:26 tools get more sophisticated and they
1:51:28 hallucinate less and you know you you
1:51:31 you don't have to worry as much about
1:51:34 the hallucinations when you're dealing
1:51:35 with your health are really [ __ ]
1:51:37 scary right because if it tells you to
1:51:39 take a th000 milligrams and you're only
1:51:42 supposed to take 10 milligrams that
1:51:43 would be bad right so you don't you
1:51:46 don't want that those hallucinations but
1:51:48 as these things get reasoning I think I
1:51:50 think the impact on The Healing Arts is
1:51:52 going to be St staggering like
1:51:56 staggering like we go from home remedies
1:51:59 to
1:52:01 like home home invented
1:52:05 cures I think some some wild shit's
1:52:08 going to come out of not Labs things
1:52:10 like the AI learning
1:52:13 lab it has vitamin A in it which is
1:52:16 toxic I don't know what you're talking
1:52:18 about rightful oh tumor can harm the
1:52:21 liver long term could you share the
1:52:23 recipe if I can find it I'll go I'll go
1:52:25 dig it
1:52:28 up Placebo no it wasn't I've got believe
1:52:34 me I've got family members that know
1:52:36 when [ __ ] works and when it
1:52:39 doesn't Kyle is part of my process oh
1:52:41 that's sweet thank
1:52:45 you Kyle's now a
1:52:50 verb do you really have a wife you seem
1:52:53 to be always on and we've only seen a
1:52:57 dog just saying she's popped her head in
1:52:59 here once or twice she doesn't want to

1:53:04 she's fine I do she's got a an art show
1:53:06 coming up first week of October um you
1:53:10 can ask it about biofield tuning okay
1:53:13 cool I'll look that up night all okay
1:53:15 great all right
1:53:17 so if you like what's going on here
1:53:21 awesome if not it doesn't get better

1:54:59 knows there's a Mrs Shannon she she has
1:55:01 interfaced with
1:55:03 her that one of my favorite things was
