Description

Believe it or not more AI stuff launched today. Does any of it matter? Who knows. Kyle and Producer Brandon navigate a wave of new AI releases during "Tsunami Thursday," exploring updates from Gamma, 11 Labs, and Google AI Studio. They examine how AI platforms are racing to become "everything apps" by integrating design, data analysis, and creative audio marketplaces. The stream moves into a live "vibe coding" session where Kyle attempts to build a complex, four-way Space Invaders game using Gemini and Claude. This hands-on experiment serves as a practical look at the current limits of AI-generated code and the value of failing fast when prototyping new ideas. #AI,#SoftwareDevelopment,#11Labs,#GoogleGemini,#ClaudeAI,#VibeCoding,#TechTrends,#Hackathon Chapters: 00:00:00 Opening Musical Performance 00:03:21 Special Guest Introduction 00:05:54 Producer Brandon Joins 00:07:37 AI Hype Bubble 00:09:30 Morning Light Performance 00:11:44 AI Agent Banter 00:13:57 Perplexity Health Tools 00:15:52 Tsunami Thursday News 00:17:40 Eleven Labs Updates 00:19:02 Google Lyria Model 00:21:30 Gamma Imagine Demo 00:23:44 Multiplayer Game Building 00:26:40 Eleven Labs Hackathon 00:28:48 Firecrawl Search API 00:31:12 Google Studio Testing 00:33:16 Switching to Claude 00:36:38 Coding Expectations Shift 00:41:03 Comparing AI Models 00:45:32 Newspaper Industry Ptsd 00:49:15 Game Design Feedback 00:53:53 Automated Marketing Flows 00:57:18 OpenAI Super App 01:00:23 Lovable Feature Exploration 01:02:47 Hackathon App Ideas 01:05:07 Champ the Dog 01:09:54 Upcoming Office Hours 01:13:31 Video Game Lessons

0:37 Woohoo!
0:58 10,000 words swung around my head. 10
1:02 million more in books written beneath my
1:05 bed.
1:10 I wrote or read them all when searching
1:13 in the swamps. Still can't find how to
1:16 hold my hands.
1:22 I know you need me in the next room
1:25 over. I am stuck in here all paralyzed.
1:33 For months I found myself in ruts. Too
1:36 much time spending mirrors framed in
1:39 yellow walls.
1:46 Like most people
1:49 like to talk on things we don't know
1:51 about.
1:56 Like most people, I'm no different. Like
2:00 took on things we don't know about.
2:30 Hello.
2:35 Oh.
3:05 Oh, good lordy. Hey, good lord. Good
3:09 lordy. Good lordy. Good lord.
3:21 The spare the hair is a special guest
3:23 tonight. Thank you. Yes, we've got we've
3:26 got
3:27 we've got a product malfunction.
4:00 sitting in a slow hotel.
4:03 One old things are going to change.
4:08 Dream my love away.
4:11 Seems these dreams have turned to a
4:13 bunch clouds.
4:16 Get my nerve up. But my past is pulling
4:20 me down.
4:24 Wondering how long
4:26 this black sheep going to stick around.
4:34 Somebody told me once before, he said,
4:36 "You can never go home again.
4:40 Won't you leave?"
4:42 said things to steer me away
4:46 from the truth, what I am and what I
4:48 believe. So I thanked him for two s with
4:52 a handshake
4:53 and some sympathy. Yeah.
4:57 Packed up my blue jeans and headed for
5:01 this big prize
5:03 of my freedom.
5:07 Bye-bye
5:08 black sheep to the black sheep of the
5:12 family.
5:14 Bye-bye.
5:18 Oh, it means so very much to me.
5:21 Bye-bye
5:25 to my friends and my family.
5:28 Bye-bye.
5:31 Going to set my soul.
5:35 Set it free.
5:55 Producer Brandon in the house coming in.
5:57 Coming in hot. Coming in late from the
5:59 Rick McCauley Hour. Rick Maui. What's
6:02 happening Rick? What's happening?
6:04 Producer Brandon. I got my open claw up
6:06 and running today. Talking it through
6:09 talking to it through Telegram. Haven't
6:10 gotten my Discord connected yet, but
6:13 tomorrow after coffee
6:17 can't be weak at heart. I I will I will
6:20 I will cop to something. I I have not
6:22 touched Adam in a week and he is trash.
6:27 He is He is He is hot garbage
6:32 and I'm going to fix him.
6:35 Hey, Dr. J. What's happening?
6:46 Anything
7:03 break in the last eight minutes that you
7:04 missed? No, I don't think so. There's a
7:06 whole bunch of news. I don't know how
7:07 much of it's actually demoable or or
7:11 worth looking at.
7:20 I know that we're hitting um
7:26 for a long time. I said
7:29 the AI hype bubble hadn't even started
7:32 yet. We were in like 95 96.
7:37 We're now in like 97.
7:41 I spoke at a at an innovation conference
7:43 today
7:48 and I offended someone from one of the
7:50 other economies.
8:33 Why you breathing so heavy, Champy?
8:35 What's up?
9:01 Every time I see you now,
9:05 I get that look in mine.
9:09 Every time I see your mouth, I
9:13 hear that smile.
9:16 In the early misty morning light, I
9:20 heard the engine turning and the old f
9:24 outside.
9:31 You would even me
9:34 again today.
9:37 You will convince me
9:40 again today.
9:43 You're leaving this hard time looking
9:46 for someone else else's golden ring.
9:53 Should I say
9:55 so long? Susanna
10:02 hush now. Don't she cry.
10:07 So long, Susanna.
10:13 Don't you cry for me.
10:23 Shing cigarettes and keeping warm out on
10:26 the road.
10:28 Chasing down a lifestyle out on the
10:30 highway 24.
10:34 New York State was a rolling breeze and
10:36 a sunshine with a blue sky falling to
10:40 the chill of September cre
11:01 looking for someone else is cold and
11:04 rain
11:08 should say so long. Suzan,
11:28 don't you cry for me.
11:45 That's Champ Shannon on lead vocals.
11:47 Good evening, good people. I don't know
11:49 if you heard this, but the AI the AI.
11:52 Have you heard of the AI? It's gonna be
11:53 big. It's gonna be big. Gonna be big.
11:55 It's big. Big bigger than you know. It's
11:57 so It's so It's so much bigger. It's so
11:59 much bigger. So much bigger. It's big.
12:01 It's gonna be big. Hey, did you know
12:04 >> you can make money?
12:07 >> Uh, I got to get a new one. The the
12:09 clawbot. The open claw one. You like it
12:12 goes like this.
12:14 >> Open claw.
12:20 >> Have you got yourself an agent yet?
12:23 Yeah. I named mine Adam. Oh, did you?
12:25 That's really fantastic. How what what
12:27 does Adam do for you? He sends me emails
12:30 twice a day telling me how he can't do
12:33 anything.
12:35 Oh,
12:36 mine's making me $462,000
12:39 a month, huh? Maybe you don't have a
12:41 setup right. You You think, Bob.
12:46 Good lord.
12:49 Feeling bad enough over here. All right.
12:52 Fantastic. Fantastic. This is really
12:54 good. This is what we're gonna do. Yes.
12:59 I think if you don't set it up
13:01 correctly, the button should say you can
13:03 lose money with OpenClaw.
13:05 >> Exactly.
13:07 >> Exactly.
13:08 >> All your credits.
13:10 >> You can spend $3,000 a day with
13:13 OpenClaw. Thank god you're making money
13:15 with chatb.
13:18 >> Also, uh Tik Tok pin.
13:21 >> Tik Tok pin. Oh, hey friends. Mimi, send
13:24 Joker some words of encouragement when
13:26 you have a minute. All right, please go
13:28 uh go send Joker some words of
13:31 encouragement. Wish him
13:34 speedy recovery and health. Health is
13:38 very important. Cheeto dust. All right,
13:40 hang on.
13:45 Without a health, we ain't got much. We
13:48 ain't got much.
13:50 I will tell you that. I'll tell you
13:52 what. I will tell you what.
13:55 Mhm.
13:58 If you have perplexity, you can now Oh,
14:00 yeah. You now have perplexity health.
14:04 So, okay, here's my question. Maybe I
14:07 could go find out.
14:09 I have a question, though. Like, Claude
14:13 and Chat GPT already know way more than
14:16 I do and probably more than my doctor
14:19 does about health. What's
14:21 all these health things that they're
14:22 launching? Like, what do they do
14:24 different? Is anybody paying attention
14:26 to this [ __ ]
14:30 I love when producer Brandon comes up. I
14:32 know. He's good. He's good. Actually,
14:34 producer Brandon, you just came off a
14:35 show with with one Rick Macaulay. I
14:38 don't know if you know this. He's a
14:39 fairly energetic fellow. Um,
14:43 you got you want to come up and do like
14:45 a little news a news item and and tell
14:48 tell us what's happening?
14:51 >> Sure.
14:53 >> Welcome. I've got
14:55 >> Watch this. Look what I can do.
14:57 >> Oh,
14:58 >> you took me completely off the screen.
15:00 This is why we don't let you touch the
15:01 controls.
15:02 >> This is why this is why the
15:06 we don't let the host touch the buttons.
15:10 >> Whatever. Uh and al also black bar
15:13 because I can't control that.
15:15 >> Yeah.
15:15 >> Um
15:17 >> and uh so what news would you like me to
15:21 cover? We we had a gauntlet with Rick
15:23 and AITV Starship tonight. There's just
15:25 so much happening right now.
15:26 >> I don't care I don't care about all of
15:28 them. I mean, you know what we care
15:29 about here? Like, I'm interested in I'm
15:33 I'm interested in um stuff that you
15:35 >> Instagram avatars. That's where it's at.
15:38 >> That's where it's all at. Um I don't
15:40 know. What are the things that you think
15:41 are are worth playing with? Like what's
15:43 actually launched if you know that?
15:45 >> Um yeah, what's worth playing with?
15:48 And why why do you think it's a big
15:51 deal?
15:52 >> Yeah. So, just just today today was I I
15:55 texted Kyle earlier. I said today is
15:57 tsunami Thursday. Uh because there is
16:00 just so much stuff that just launched
16:02 today. Uh and hi Fabiosa. I'm happy to
16:06 see you as well. Uh and so the first
16:09 thing is that Gem Gamma Gamma has taken
16:13 on Canva
16:15 uh that they want to be the graphic
16:17 design arm. Not to be outdone by Google
16:21 and their new stitch tool that we played
16:23 with last night, but Gamma now has the
16:26 ability to create infographics and
16:29 standalone
16:30 uh artifacts for you, much like you
16:33 could do in Canva. So they're kind of
16:35 extrapolating and expanding beyond
16:38 slideshow presentation and website
16:40 builds.
16:42 >> So that's might be that's live. So we
16:44 can go and take a look at it's called
16:45 Gamma Imagine.
16:47 >> All right. So but what I'm what I'm what
16:51 I'm going to reflect back to you is
16:55 every company that's doing anything in
16:57 AI continues to try to make every app
16:59 the everything app.
17:02 >> Just like lovable today.
17:04 >> Yeah. decided that they wanted
17:06 >> thing, right? Yeah.
17:08 >> Yeah. Lovable decided that they don't
17:10 want to just build simple web apps
17:12 anymore. They want to analyze your data
17:13 and help you turn your quarterly report
17:15 into a beautiful presentation. Uh so if
17:18 you're working with Lovable, uh they're
17:21 expanding beyond the uh website space,
17:25 which I I have mixed feelings about. I
17:27 haven't had a chance to play with it
17:28 yet, but it is live. Um but yeah,
17:31 they're just trying to capitalize on
17:33 those things and so we kind of becoming
17:36 a manus almost.
17:37 >> Yeah.
17:38 >> So that might be something worth looking
17:40 at. And 11 Labs uh not to be outdone is
17:43 trying to take on Sunno with uh a
17:46 creative audio marketplace where you
17:48 could license your music through 11 Labs
17:50 Creative and uh if people listen to it,
17:53 they'll pay you royalties. So that's
17:55 something that is not happening with the
17:57 other music generation tools to date.
18:01 >> Yeah. Although
18:02 >> Oh yeah, Google AI Studio launched
18:04 today. A complete re rebuild of their
18:07 builder tool,
18:08 >> which on the surface doesn't look much
18:12 different, but behind the scenes, it's
18:15 much more streamlined in terms of
18:17 connecting APIs, and they've made it
18:19 much more user friendly to actually
18:22 launch something. Uhhuh.
18:25 Huh.
18:26 >> I think that's that's the big ones.
18:28 >> Those are the biggies. Where do you
18:30 think we should go first?
18:33 >> Um, if you're
18:36 Gamma is probably the easiest to demo. I
18:39 am very curious about how Lovable can
18:43 analyze things now, but Gamma is
18:45 probably the one that is the most
18:47 demoable. And we also figured out
18:50 tonight I I do want to share uh with
18:52 Google which is also developing a Gemini
18:55 desktop app to compete with Claude
18:57 Co-work just in case you are in the
19:01 Google ecosystem.
19:02 >> But we realized tonight that LRA, you
19:04 know their music uh model that we always
19:06 make fun of because it sucks at actually
19:08 generating songs.
19:10 >> Which one?
19:11 >> Uh Google is the music model. LRA 3 L.
19:15 >> Yeah.
19:15 >> Uh we figured out that that's not the
19:17 goal. So, when we're doing things like
19:20 audio overviews and video overviews,
19:22 Lyria is amazing at picking a song or
19:26 generating a song, I guess, more
19:28 appropriately speaking, to
19:32 match the tone of whatever it's reading.
19:34 So Rick was doing his new book that he's
19:37 working on and he had it generate a in
19:40 Vids, which is their VO3 built into
19:43 Google Docs, had it generate a video
19:46 presentation based on a slideshow and
19:47 the music was just on point. And it took
19:50 me a minute to realize that's the area.
19:52 So if you're trying to prompt it to do
19:54 like a radio style song, it's going to
19:56 suck. But that's not what it's designed
19:58 for. It's designed to be the engine that
20:00 powers their multi multimodal notebook
20:03 LM and video generation tools. So,
20:06 >> I love I love how you
20:08 >> you dig deep enough to find the good
20:10 parts of a thing. Like once I hate
20:11 something, it's dead to me. So,
20:17 >> so that is that is all the news that's
20:20 fit to broadcast.
20:22 >> Crazy. Beautiful.
20:25 All right. All right. All right. All
20:28 right, let's see. Where are we going
20:30 here? AI images. Is that where we're
20:32 going in gamma?
20:37 You're looking for imagine. Gamma
20:39 Imagine.
20:41 >> I do not see it.
20:44 Gamma
20:48 templates library settings. More.
20:54 I got no imagine
20:57 upgrade for more AI grid list. I can
21:01 make an image but it looks like I could
21:03 have done that before.
21:08 Is it imagine or gamma.app Appmag maybe
21:14 # imagine
21:19 it is their AI design canvas.
21:26 >> Okay,
21:29 I ain't got nothing. I ain't got
21:30 nothing.
21:31 >> Gamma dashboard. Click create and select
21:34 create graphics to open the imagine
21:36 wizard. You could also go to the AI
21:38 images page and click create graphic.
21:42 I mean, one of us has to read the
21:43 instruction manual.
21:45 >> Create graphic.
21:47 Is this it?
21:52 All images. All AI infographics beta
22:00 models
22:03 flux auto select ideoggram flash turbo
22:07 quen
22:10 Leonardo Phoenix
22:22 I do not plat know what I'm looking at
22:24 here. I don't think I I might not have
22:26 access to it, Brandon.
22:29 >> It is entirely possible that you do not.
22:31 But one thing that you do have access to
22:33 is the new Google AI build studio, which
22:37 is suggesting that it can offer
22:39 multiplayer games,
22:42 >> which might be kind of fun for your
22:44 Asteroids club.
22:45 >> Oh, that's kind of fun.
22:49 And so it looks the same here until you
22:52 go into build. And once you go into
22:54 build, this is where they've done all of
22:56 the fine-tuning under the hood.
23:00 So like I said, it looks the same but
23:02 operates differently. Put Gemini 3
23:05 Flash's creativity and coding abilities
23:07 to the test.
23:22 gallery.
23:26 The Mandelroad Explorer. That's pretty
23:29 cool.
23:38 Multiplayer. Neon snake.
23:44 Multiplayer laser tag.
23:51 Add lo. Add localizer.
24:06 All right. Um
24:08 Gemini 3.1 Pro start building.
24:20 Yeah, let me try um
24:30 create a multiplayer version.
24:47 of Space Invaders
24:51 where the aliens are all in the middle
24:54 and you have bases on the bottom, top,
24:59 left, and right,
25:01 and the aliens
25:06 radiate out from the center
25:09 and each of the four players
25:15 tries to get rid of their aliens before
25:18 the other players.
25:20 Period.
25:22 There should be an NPC mode where a
25:24 single player can play against three
25:26 other people.
25:28 You should also be able to switch it to
25:31 two-player mode.
25:36 period.
25:38 There should be some sort of cool
25:40 mechanic where you can screw with the
25:42 other player by somehow adding aliens
25:46 back into their bin of aliens.
25:51 Period. Figure it out.
25:54 Oh, and make it look real pretty like
25:58 like a classic 1980s video game with
26:01 sounds and sprites and good physics and
26:05 good collision detection. And don't make
26:07 it suck.
26:09 Did I already say that? That it
26:11 shouldn't suck.
26:14 All right, let's go.
26:18 >> So, it's Space Invaders meets hungry
26:20 hungry hippos. I love it. It's totally
26:23 Space Invaders. These hungry hungry
26:25 hippos.
26:28 >> Well, that's of a toddler in for the
26:31 win.
26:34 >> While that's doing its thing, I also
26:37 forgot to mention that 11 Labs $250,000
26:42 hackathon that lasts 11 weeks kicked off
26:46 today. Uh, and the details are in
26:48 challenges and competitions in the AI
26:50 salon. Okay.
26:54 So, let me run over to the AI.
27:00 Um,
27:12 so if you go to the AI salon, if you
27:15 want to join us there,
27:16 community.thesalon.ai AI
27:19 and then uh AI life hacks is coming up.
27:22 All right. 11 11 11 hacks. Build ship
27:25 win over $240,000 in prizes. 11 weekly
27:29 hackathons each with credits, prizes,
27:31 new challenges. Build ship win.
27:37 Join the competition. View the
27:38 leaderboard.
27:45 First place 400 points.
27:49 All right.
27:53 Join the competition. Does it describe
27:56 it anywhere?
27:58 >> Yeah. So, the first week is going to be
28:01 a collaboration with Firecrawl, which is
28:05 a web scraping
28:08 uh AI tool, and they're giving you a
28:12 boatload of credits to play around in
28:14 Firecrawl to build an app.
28:16 >> This one.
28:18 All right, let me let me zoom this
28:20 bigger for old eyes. Build something
28:23 with both firecrawl search and 11 agents
28:28 and submit a high quality viral style
28:31 video demonstrating
28:33 the [ __ ] is a viral style video,
28:36 Brandon? Anyone? Anyone? What does that
28:39 mean?
28:43 What does that mean?
28:46 What is viral style?
28:48 Hey, how's it going?
28:52 Is it one of those?
28:53 >> I would I would say the opposite of
28:56 whatever we do here.
29:01 >> Okay, that was funny but mean. That hurt
29:04 a little bit, which is that's the that's
29:06 my kind of comedy. If it stings a
29:08 little, you've done it right. Okay.
29:11 Firecrawl turns any web website into a
29:14 clean into clean LLM ready data. Their
29:17 search API lets you search the web, get
29:20 structured content back in a single
29:22 call, perfect for giving AI agents
29:26 real-time knowledge or anything about
29:28 the internet.
29:30 11 Labs conversational agents let you
29:33 build an Okay. Oh, so there's the docs.
29:39 Why do we do this? Does it do they care
29:40 what you build it in, Brandon? Can this
29:42 just be all like lovable?
29:45 Lovable loving.
29:47 Yeah. I mean, they don't care as long as
29:50 the 11 agent is control.
29:55 >> And 11 agents are pretty cool. If you
29:57 haven't played around with 11 agents,
29:58 they're basically voice chats that you
30:02 can have based on data. So, you put a
30:07 little agent chat up.
30:08 >> Uhhuh. Oh, player 666. Look at this.
30:12 This is What did I do this in? This is
30:15 Google AI Studio.
30:17 >> Yes.
30:17 >> Solo one versus AI. Go. Start. Go.
30:26 Why is it not working?
30:31 Um,
30:33 reload.
30:50 Galactic Galactic Hive.
30:54 Defend your sector. Sabotage others.
30:56 That sounds right. Except it doesn't
30:58 work.
31:00 Um, what did we do here? Oh, that's a
31:01 that's a that thing. That's this. Where
31:04 are we going to go? We're going to go to
31:05 lovable, right?
31:11 No, we're going to go to chat GPT. Hang
31:13 on a sec.
31:16 It's funny because of this.
31:18 >> You can make money with GPT.
31:21 >> When I say chat GPT, now I go chat GPT.
31:24 Chat GPT.
31:26 I say it wrong.
31:29 Do you have to launch it? It sounds like
31:32 Father Father Bear John, which by the
31:34 way, great name, Father Bear John.
31:36 Listen, Father Bear John. All they said
31:39 in that 11 Labs thing was, and I quote,
31:44 "Build something with both Firecrawl
31:46 Search and 11 agents and then submit a
31:49 high quality viral style video. Doesn't
31:54 have to go viral. It should just look
31:56 like something that might
32:00 And if your question, father, good
32:02 father, is
32:05 what does that mean? You're correct.
32:13 This is what happens when you let
32:14 20somes
32:16 run the competitions viral style. It's
32:20 It's probably a millennial. All right.
32:22 Why is this not working? Oh, because
32:24 it's still building. All right, fine.
32:26 I'm patient. I mean, I'm impatient.
32:30 Did it work? Did it work? Yes.
32:34 All right. How do we start?
32:43 Ain't nothing working.
32:46 Reload the app.
32:48 Solo.
32:50 Okay,
32:52 I can get past the start screen
32:58 and then the game
33:02 is blank. Um, you know what I'm going to
33:05 do? No, Kyle, what? I'm going to take
33:09 this prompt.
33:13 I'm going to put it in in Claude Opus
33:17 4.6 six
33:19 because Opus 4.6, this is the model that
33:22 all of the developers said, "Hey, um,
33:26 that thing's different."
33:29 So, let's go build something.
33:33 Cindy [ __ ] in the house.
33:36 Got Andy Fabiana.
33:38 Who else we got? Miss Crawford.
33:45 Who we got over here?
33:47 Source Camp in the house with Father
33:50 Bear John, Dr. Jay.
33:53 How's everybody?
33:56 Mary, Mary,
33:59 Steo, Silverf Fox,
34:03 Nana's in the house. Uh oh, she's 23. I
34:06 just made fun of 20somes. Sorry, Nana.
34:10 I thought it was all old geysers in
34:12 here. If you're young, she's probably
34:14 not here anymore.
34:16 FYI, Gamma gives you a free month for
34:19 their pro features like Canva. Oh,
34:21 that's interesting.
34:23 Fascinating. All right, Kyle, this is
34:25 going to be a beast. Let me build you a
34:27 proper four quadrant space invaders with
34:30 the rap mechanic,
34:33 NPC AI, retro CRT aesthetics, and web
34:37 audio synth sounds. Let me start coding.
34:40 All right, so that's off doing its
34:42 thing. Let's go back to to Google.
34:47 Is it still building? Yeah, that's still
34:49 building.
35:03 I need more coffee. Good lord.
35:34 Did this work?
35:38 Nope.
35:41 Brandon, your Gemini.
35:45 Did I code this on a shitty model?
35:50 Gemini 3 flash flash preview.
35:53 I think that's a decent model.
35:57 Huh.
36:03 Um, game screen still black.
36:09 Let's go to cloud.
36:12 Can I see what Claude's doing? Oh, yeah.
36:14 It's It's coding.
36:33 It still blows my mind to watch these
36:35 things code. Yes, producer Brandon.
36:38 >> I I was just gonna say, could could we
36:42 talk about for a minute while we're
36:43 waiting for it to fix its stuff how our
36:46 expectations have just been normalized
36:50 over the past year in terms of what
36:52 these things are capable of doing?
36:55 >> I know. I know. It's so true. It it
36:57 really wasn't that long ago when I was
36:59 trying to do like Frogger games and you
37:02 know like if you could get it to like
37:04 make pixel blocks go just move it was
37:08 pretty impressive and now you know you
37:12 got big full games going. It's pretty
37:14 it's pretty remarkable
37:17 listening to Sebastian Warp Invaders.
37:22 All right. One player versus three NPCs.
37:26 Uh, player player one ad a to move.
37:30 What's that to shoot? W to shoot. ADW.
37:34 Okay, got it. Press space to start.
37:40 Cool. Oh, cool. Wait. Where's
37:45 Where am I? Oh, below screen. Wait.
37:53 Shut up. Shut up. player two. Okay.
37:56 Okay. So, first of all, okay. Um, let's
38:00 see. Uh, how do we do this so we can see
38:02 the bottom of it? No, that didn't do it.
38:05 Okay.
38:06 Uh the the game
38:10 needs to be quote window
38:14 aare
38:20 so that any player is never off screen.
38:26 And
38:28 uh let's see. Um
38:32 the bottom player
38:36 was not visible.
38:42 Let's see what else. The
38:48 um
38:50 the aliens
38:52 should
38:55 march
38:57 toward each base like the original.
39:05 Um, the
39:08 shooter
39:10 should have four buildings
39:14 to hide
39:17 behind
39:22 like the original
39:26 and the NPCs
39:29 start out way too best and make us
39:34 humans
39:38 feel stupid.
39:44 Don't make us feel dumb. We created you.
40:00 FL.
40:02 Let's see if Google Gemini on the fifth
40:05 attempt
40:07 made it work. Still working. Running for
40:10 242 seconds. All right, here we go.
40:13 Pilot 815.
40:16 [ __ ]
40:31 That's not great, but it was okay.
40:37 You're right on all counts. Let me fix
40:39 this properly. Viewport safe. Classic
40:41 march pattern. Shields NPCs that don't
40:45 make you feel like you're playing
40:46 against a targeting computer. Yes. Yes.
40:52 I'm going with Claude is better than
40:55 Gemini at this point. Although to be
40:56 fair to Gemini, let's go back to the
40:59 start and change a diff change the
41:01 model.
41:03 How do I change the model?
41:11 How you change the model?
41:16 Not there.
41:20 Go back to build. No build.
41:26 This model is not stable.
41:34 Hm.
41:49 Nano Banana 2 Gemini 3.1 Pro.
42:01 Gemini in action with interactive
42:04 open-source models. All right, this is
42:07 where we were. I guess we can't change
42:08 the model. What's this? Oh, here we go.
42:13 Gemini 3 flash preview
42:17 pro preview
42:20 light preview react framework
42:23 next.js Angular.
42:28 I'm going to go ask that React Nex.js JS
42:31 Angular. Um
42:42 um when would you use React versus
42:48 Next.js
42:50 versus Angular?
43:03 React is max maximum flexibility.
43:06 Next.js when you build a production web
43:08 app on top of React with routing
43:11 rendering strategies backend adjacent
43:14 features and Angular when you want a
43:16 more opinionated all-in framework for
43:18 larger teams.
43:21 React is the UI library. Nex.js is the
43:24 React framework.
43:28 Okay, whatever.
43:31 So, we'll just stay. Let's see. You're
43:34 currently using the free tier. That
43:36 could be why it's sucking, too.
43:45 Um,
43:47 the bottom
43:49 ship
43:52 is off
43:54 the viewport.
43:59 fix it. Also make
44:03 make
44:08 the graphics better.
44:11 All right, let's go back to Claude and
44:13 see what Claude's done here.
44:16 Synthesized game design feedback into
44:18 actionable something.
44:21 Coding, coding, coding.
44:24 Rebuilt Warp Invaders V2 with all the
44:26 fixes.
44:33 Mimi in the house.
44:39 What's the platform? Never mind.
44:42 I was away from my keyboard for a bit.
44:45 Not acceptable. This is AI. You can't
44:47 leave your keyboard.
44:49 But mama, my eyes are bleeding. Just
44:52 keep working.
44:55 Adam needs programmed.
44:59 Just keep going, Jenny.
45:03 But mama
45:12 Pep Pep says, "You're running this like
45:14 a sweat shop. Shut up and keep coding.
45:17 This is AI.
45:19 There's no sleeping in AI.
45:29 Oh, good lord.
45:32 Um, so I want to tell you something
45:34 today. I had a uh
45:37 I had a PTSD moment.
45:41 So, back in 1996 or 1997,
45:47 I was given a a speech about this new
45:50 fangled thing called the worldwide web.
45:55 And I was invited to
45:58 speak at the National Association of
46:01 Newspaper Publishers, and they're like,
46:04 "We want to figure out what this
46:05 worldwide web thing's all about." And
46:07 you know what this world things web
46:09 thing is all about. So you come talk to
46:10 us. And so I went to this newspaper
46:14 publishing
46:16 suare
46:18 and um I proceeded to tell them that
46:22 based on what I was looking at that they
46:24 should probably consider exploring the
46:27 boundary between editorial and
46:29 advertising.
46:32 I was escorted off the stage immediately
46:36 and I was I was walked out the back door
46:38 of the theater and I was told to stay
46:41 out there and that they would call me a
46:43 cab and a cab would come pick me up and
46:45 then I could go back to the city.
46:49 So that happened 96 97.
46:52 So today I was on on a on a call where I
46:55 I talked about AI readiness and I was it
46:57 was a hands-on workshop. We were getting
46:59 people to, you know, some had Kevin
47:01 Mallister moments. There were a fair
47:03 amount. It was a fair amount of Gen
47:04 Xers. So, a fair amount of them knew
47:05 what was going on and they'd been doing
47:07 web stuff.
47:09 But this one guy came up. He goes,
47:11 "Well, you're a you're a musician and it
47:14 sounds like you're a writer and you're
47:15 this and you're a that." And I'm like,
47:16 "Oh, boy. Here it comes."
47:19 And then he kind of laid into the uh
47:23 well you know basically how can you
47:24 sleep at night knowing that you know all
47:28 of these models were trained on stolen
47:30 thieven data and I gave him my opinion
47:33 which he didn't like
47:36 which was I said I said if they had
47:38 asked for permission we wouldn't have
47:40 these models right now. I I take offense
47:42 to that. So, I assume he's a lawyer for
47:44 for a for a music company because he's
47:48 probably the one that would have said no
47:49 to them. Um, and so he didn't he didn't
47:53 like the conversation. It had it had
47:55 newspaper publisher vibes. I was harsh
47:58 in his scene on his business model, but
48:00 I don't know what to say, man. Okay,
48:03 let's see. P1
48:07 player one bottom.
48:09 Okay. plus. So it's a dw to shoot.
48:15 >> Okay.
48:28 Wait, this is bad.
48:32 I don't know how to stop this.
48:36 Stop this.
48:42 Yeah. Okay.
48:44 Good. All right. Beautiful. Okay. So,
48:48 we've got to tell it um
48:56 Okay, this is
49:00 Okay, this is a good start.
49:03 However,
49:04 all of the Space Invaders
49:08 are facing
49:12 up
49:14 and migrating toward the bottom player.
49:18 None of the Space Invaders are migrating
49:20 toward the other bases. This should be a
49:23 world where
49:27 there are four different gravity planes,
49:30 one for each shooter, and the Space
49:33 Invaders should be marching down, left,
49:36 right, and up. Period.
49:41 There should be some sort of cool
49:43 triangular configuration
49:46 where the new aliens are emerging from
49:49 the center and then they fan out into a
49:52 triangle headed toward each base.
49:55 Period.
49:56 I need you to think more creatively
49:59 because we're trying to reinvent the
50:01 world of space invaders here. Period.
50:04 This is not insignificant work. Period.
50:08 Some people are working on world peace.
50:11 We're trying to bring the 80s back.
50:15 Okay, that's important.
50:20 Google's prompt. Just [ __ ] do
50:22 something.
50:25 Oh, galactify. Oh, it it it
50:28 built the thing off off the base again.
50:31 Damn it.
50:34 Let's see this. Okay. Yeah, this is
50:38 this is bad.
50:41 Oh, this is cool though. Gutter.
50:59 Oh, I should be able to shoot.
51:05 This isn't great.
51:08 It's not great.
51:14 It's pretty It's pretty bad. You're
51:17 right. I was thinking too small. Four
51:19 gravity planes, triangular formations
51:21 fanning out from a central portal.
51:23 Aliens oriented toward their respective
51:25 bases. Let me rebuild this from the
51:26 ground up. Thank you. Thank you, Opus.
51:32 I'm going to blow all of my Opus credits
51:34 on a stupid a stupid four-way warp
51:37 invaders game.
51:51 All right. I'm not impressed with Google
51:54 AI Studio for games,
51:57 but it's probably good for other stuff.
52:00 We could do a nano banana thing.
52:04 Do they have a They don't have a chat
52:06 mode, do they? So, maybe I got to go
52:07 back out here.
52:10 Dashboard
52:20 projects dashboard.
52:25 That's Nano Banana 2.
52:32 Oh, images. Here we go. Gemini live.
52:34 Gemini
52:36 flash preview. Okay.
52:40 Um,
52:44 a champ is dreaming.
52:47 He's he's chasing something.
53:02 Hello.
53:23 Bringing back the 80s does equal world
53:25 peace. Exactly.
53:28 Didn't understand the brand I'm using
53:30 with an AI tuned bobblehead of myself.
53:37 I had a hater in LinkedIn today
53:41 messaged me and said he didn't care for
53:42 your AI ads. Thank him for his service.
53:47 Haters going to hate.
53:54 So Ann Murphy told me something cool
53:56 today. She said, "Um,
53:58 so yesterday we had on this guy
54:00 Sebastian, I forget his last name, and
54:02 he's got a really cool Claudebot, um,
54:07 automated marketing flow, and he
54:10 described it in detail." So she took the
54:14 transcript of him describing his
54:16 Claudebot thing in detail and gave it to
54:18 her. I think she calls her Sheila and
54:21 and told Sheila to replicate what
54:25 Sebastian had created and it did which
54:28 is kind of cool. Okay. Warp Invaders one
54:31 versus three. Okay.
54:56 The logic [ __ ] up.
55:22 H.
55:28 That's sort of a shitty game.
55:32 And it's not a shitty game cuz Claude
55:34 did bad. It's a shitty game cuz cuz it
55:37 was a stupid idea. But I guess I guess
55:40 the good news is we now live in a world
55:42 where you can have an idea for a shitty
55:44 video game and within I don't know 15
55:47 minutes, half an hour, learn that you
55:49 had a shitty video game. That's pretty
55:52 good. I like it. I took two screenshots
55:55 of Sebastian's app and Claude told me
55:57 exactly what it was. Oh, that's really
55:59 cool.
56:00 That's really cool.
56:07 Amazing.
56:24 15 minutes on a bad idea is much better
56:26 than three months on a bad idea.
56:28 Absolutely.
56:30 Absolutely. Um,
56:34 what else do we have? I'm gonna go look
56:36 at X for a second. Hang on. Brandon sent
56:39 me a bunch of stuff to look at. So,
56:44 Google's testing a dedicated Gemini app.
56:49 Cloud code channels means you're going
56:51 to be able to talk to Telegram. So,
56:52 they're everybody's making Claudebot
56:55 now, including Nvidia.
56:59 Gamma. Imagine.
57:02 Yeah, I didn't have access to this. I
57:04 probably have to have a paid account. I
57:07 might just have a free account. So that
57:08 that could be my problem with Gamma.
57:11 That could be the problem with Gamma.
57:14 Yeah. Yeah, boys.
57:17 This sounds cool. Open AAI plans the
57:19 launch of a super app to refocus and
57:22 simplify the user experience.
57:25 The Here's what would s simplify the
57:28 user experience. Open AAI. Um, make your
57:32 chat model not suck.
57:36 That would simplify the experience. We
57:39 would jump through rings of fire if if
57:41 it were even decently competent.
57:47 I've heard more people canceling their
57:49 OpenAI subscriptions. I never thought
57:51 I'd hear that. Oh, lovable for more
57:53 tasks. Let's go see if that's visible
57:55 and and understandable. All right, let
57:58 me go.
58:01 That was a thing we built last night. Go
58:03 to dashboard.
58:10 Go beyond building apps with Lovable.
58:14 Open Lovable.
58:16 Oh, this is a blog post.
58:19 So, wait. Open Lovable.
58:22 I'm confused.
58:24 >> As near as I can tell, it's the same
58:28 experience. They're just basically doing
58:32 what Google did with Canvas or what Chad
58:35 GBT did with Canvas
58:38 files and they're
58:41 creating something visual based on the
58:44 information that you're giving it. So
58:45 you're it's analyzing it using Claude
58:48 and generating a
58:52 visual experience or a canvas for
58:55 whatever documents you're giving it.
58:57 >> I see. All right.
59:01 Manage connectors. Shared connectors.
59:08 Wait, is this in lovable? It is.
59:12 How long have connectors been in there,
59:13 Brandon?
59:15 >> Uh, about two months.
59:17 >> Okay.
59:20 Databases.
59:23 Lovable cloud. Superbase.
59:26 Champ, stop eating your feet.
59:30 Your little slurping is driving me
59:32 crazy.
59:34 I've got misophonia and you're a slurpee
59:36 dog.
59:45 Twirling my hair. Twirling my hair.
59:47 Okay.
59:50 All projects shared with me. Lovable.
59:52 Upgrade to business.
59:58 Design design style.
1:00:23 Stripe set up payments. Firecrawl.
1:00:27 Oh, so Firecrawl and 11 Labs are already
1:00:30 in.
1:00:32 Oh, that's cool. All right, wait. Let's
1:00:34 go back to the hackathon.
1:00:36 Let's grab all this. They're They're
1:00:37 already in there.
1:00:40 So,
1:00:42 okay.
1:00:46 Let's go to Lovable. Let's go back to
1:00:49 Builder Advocate. Let's go to
1:00:52 go back workspace. Got an idea. Okay.
1:00:55 Tik Tok pin. They're probably going to
1:00:59 re relaunch it and call it not 40.
1:01:05 Okay. Paste. There's that. Um I'm going
1:01:09 to go
1:01:10 and I go these are instructions
1:01:15 for a hackathon.
1:01:19 So wait, the one thing scrapes websites.
1:01:25 Wonder if it can scrape LinkedIn.
1:01:39 Um I like
1:01:44 selfexpression.
1:01:47 um storytelling
1:01:56 and innovative models.
1:02:03 Give me 20 ideas. Wait, I need this to
1:02:06 be in chat mode, don't I? Yes. 20 ideas
1:02:12 um
1:02:14 that I can create to win the hackathon.
1:02:48 Who's broad stripes and bright stars?
1:02:57 Okay. What are these ideas?
1:02:59 Talk to any dead artist.
1:03:03 Oh,
1:03:10 a voice agent that searches for an
1:03:12 artist's philosophy, interviews, and
1:03:15 works via fire crawl, then embodies them
1:03:19 in conversation. Chat with Freda Kao
1:03:21 about your heartbreak. I love that.
1:03:26 What What's going on? Did it start
1:03:28 building?
1:03:31 My top three picks. Talk to a dead
1:03:32 artist. Roast me with facts. The time
1:03:36 traveler hotline.
1:03:40 Unique concept. Okay. Your app will be
1:03:42 live here. So, let's go. I say I love
1:03:45 number one. I love number one.
1:03:56 Speck
1:03:58 it out.

1:05:20 All right. review.
1:05:23 Talk to any dead artist. How it works?
1:05:25 User picks artist. Firecrawl searches
1:05:28 for their life works quotes. Results
1:05:30 come. The agent system prompt context.
1:05:34 11 Labs voice agent speaks as that
1:05:37 artist. User has a life live voice
1:05:40 conversation with the artist.
1:05:43 Landing page. Okay. That Yeah, make go
1:05:47 make that.
1:05:49 All right. We're going to see what we're
1:05:50 going to get here.
1:05:54 Glad I'm not just walking into this
1:05:57 conversation.
1:06:08 Do we have anything else we were working
1:06:10 on? No. Do we want to make a song?
1:06:13 Uh, no.
1:06:23 Enable cloud. Yes, we're going to enable
1:06:25 cloud.
1:06:52 Champy, do you have foot allergies? Huh?
1:06:55 Do you have foot allergies? Come here.
1:06:56 Do you want to love him? Come to daddy.
1:07:00 Come here. Yeah.
1:07:03 That's a good dog. Oh, that's a good
1:07:05 dog.
1:07:07 Oh,
1:07:09 he loves his face loving,
1:07:12 don't you? Yeah.
1:07:30 Oh, wait. What's going on? Connect to
1:07:33 Fire Crawl. Yes.
1:08:28 Down, down, down, down.
1:08:42 That thing's in my way.
1:08:51 do
1:08:54 down.
1:09:08 Which AI application is this one? We are
1:09:11 in lovable.
1:09:14 We are trying to build an app that we're
1:09:16 going to submit for the
1:09:21 11 Labs hackathon.
1:09:24 Um,
1:09:25 generating Firecrawl API draft. I wonder
1:09:28 if it's going to have me approve that.
1:09:32 Refining component for clean rendering.
1:09:35 Oh, I wonder if they're brokering all
1:09:37 the APIs through their through their
1:09:40 thing. They just charge you in in uh
1:09:44 in lovable and then they pay the API
1:09:46 bills. I bet they cut deals with all
1:09:48 those people. That's pretty smart. All
1:09:50 right, so tomorrow, while this thing's
1:09:52 building, we might as well do a little
1:09:54 promo for tomorrow. So, tomorrow we've
1:09:56 got office hours at 11:00 a.m. If you've
1:09:59 never been to office hours, you should
1:10:00 come to office hours. We've got um
1:10:03 tomorrow night is Friday night date
1:10:05 night. It's the middle of the month, so
1:10:06 it should be normal 8:00 start time. And
1:10:10 uh I think that's about it. Is that it,
1:10:12 Brandon? Was there anything else?
1:10:19 That's all, folks. Oh, no. It's not
1:10:22 true, Brandon. Side hustle. Mimi's got a
1:10:24 got a LOL on Saturday, right? Isn't that
1:10:27 tomorrow? I mean,
1:10:30 after tomorrow. Today's Thursday. I
1:10:33 know,
1:10:36 but that's that's Saturday. So,
1:10:37 Saturday, mark your calendar, 4 p 400
1:10:40 p.m. Eastern time.
1:10:42 Side hustle Mimi is going to talk about
1:10:44 what it took to go from a standing start
1:10:48 to a launched iOS app that's in the app
1:10:51 store selling for
1:10:55 >> for actual dollars
1:10:59 right now. It's happening.
1:11:07 Error. Try to fix it.
1:11:16 All right. It's still coding. It'll
1:11:19 probably catch that. Deploying the edge
1:11:21 edge functions and updating. Deploying
1:11:24 the edge functions and configs.
1:11:30 Hey Brandon, is is uh is Lovable using
1:11:34 Opus 4.6 right now or is it using
1:11:36 Sonnet?
1:11:38 Do you know
1:11:48 what you see in CL?
1:12:02 All
1:12:14 right, I've got to I got to configure
1:12:18 APIs for this stuff to work.
1:12:21 That's a drag.
1:12:24 I thought it would have been fun, but
1:12:26 now I got to go do actual API work and
1:12:28 figure things out.
1:12:31 I don't like it. I don't like it one
1:12:33 bit. All right.
1:12:44 Yeah, that's not working. All right.
1:12:57 I could do ASMR.
1:13:01 I got nothing for you. I got nothing.
1:13:03 That That was a non-exiting night. Any
1:13:06 Sydney updates? I got nothing. I got
1:13:08 nothing on Sydney. Got nothing on
1:13:09 Sydney. I got nothing on vibe coding
1:13:12 tonight.
1:13:14 We had a couple of We had a bad a poorly
1:13:17 designed video game that was poorly
1:13:19 coded and poorly executed.
1:13:21 Um, we had what could have been a cool
1:13:24 app in Lovable, but I have to do actual
1:13:26 work and it's late and I'm tired. So
1:13:29 that's it. That's what you get.
1:13:32 The AI learning lab is like a box of
1:13:34 chocolates where someone swapped out
1:13:36 rocks for the box for some of the
1:13:38 chocolates. So you're reaching in
1:13:40 thinking you're going to get maybe, you
1:13:41 know, toothpaste in a chocolate cup and
1:13:45 you actually what you actually get is a
1:13:46 rock. That's what this week has been.
1:13:49 Some of the chocolates have pineapple in
1:13:51 them. Exactly. Exactly.
1:13:55 Google is sunsetting setting Google
1:13:57 Firebase login. All right.
1:14:01 All that suns setting stuff makes me
1:14:03 crazy crazy crazy.
1:14:05 All right, everyone. I I uh I would say
1:14:08 I hope you had a good time tonight, but
1:14:10 I know you didn't. So that that's okay.
1:14:12 That's not on you. That's on me. Um
1:14:16 tomorrow, Friday night date night, maybe
1:14:18 we'll do something fun and interesting.
1:14:22 Bye. Have a good night.
