10. 2:23>> Is this place [singing] I can rest my forehead? [music] Gather my thoughts in sweet [singing and music] silence.
11. 2:38Is this place where the feelings [singing and music] are dead? From [clears throat] an over exposure to [music and singing] violence.
12. 2:50Is this place I [music] can slowly face. The only one I truly can know. [singing and music] These are tears from a long time ago.
13. 3:02[music] I got these tears from a long time ago. I need to cry. 30 years or so of tears from a long time.
14. 3:21>> [music] >> Well, oh darling, oh darling, you say unto me, [music] where have you been all my life?
15. 3:36[singing] [music] Well, I have been swimming seven [music and singing] sad seas. Four women have lost me their lifelines.

20. 4:43[singing] [music] [music]
21. 5:02>> [music] >> in a westerly direction. [singing]
22. 5:17[music] This car is my train. I've been driving. I've been wondering [music] what it is I'm running from again. Feel
23. 5:33like an 80y old man [singing] holding on to [music] 29 and up ahead on that horizon [singing] is the California line
24. 5:49[music] up ahead of Trump carrying a wide Free house has good
25. 6:04cute little front door into windows. Mil ain't sure whether a cry should laugh. You see I broke a home up myself once
26. 6:16as I stumbled to that door. I read a note by the dawn light [singing] said don't you come around here [music] anymore
27. 6:36[laughter] this freedom while I run never was good with decision that's what I've been Oh. [singing and music]
28. 6:54OH, THAT DOG. HE IS IN a singing mood tonight. Sing for your supper. [music] Good evening. Good evening. Good evening.
29. 7:08We had a really good uh AI salon mastermind practice lab today. Um, if I do say so. I thought it was I
30. 7:16thought it was good and inspiring. I had I had a really I had a big insight today. Um, we we were talking about creating and
31. 7:28and communicating, sharing your work and and uh getting the word out and doing that with intentionality and asking for
32. 7:38very specific feedback and giving people context about what you're sharing and why you're sharing and what stage it's at.
33. 7:46And as we were talking about it, as Liz Liz was talking about it today, I had this this really clear epiphany.
34. 8:00Having a lot of epiphies lately. This is like the AI epiphany lab. I had this epiphany that I have a really toxic relationship with
35. 8:12social media and I didn't think I did. And and that relationship is I I most times post things with expectations. And
36. 8:23in fact, I made a video about how I hate that I post things with expectations and it's only gotten 120 views and I'm pissed off about it. So
37. 8:35even the video that I posted about not wanting to not have expectations about posting content, I had expectations about >> [laughter]
38. 8:48>> I thought Epiphany was just the Catholic school down the road. [laughter] Oh man, I was able to jump in at the 30
39. 8:56minute mark. I'm doing my homework now in the studio. Oh, that's great. That's great. I missed it. Damn work. Uh, it
40. 9:02was it was a good one, Vicki. Cams. Yes, cams. Tik Tok people. They they they need their they need their action.
41. 9:10Hello, Tik Tok. Good day to you. Look, I've worn a black shirt for you so you can see. Brutal honesty. Well, was it brutal honesty or was it
42. 9:22just me being performative about how honest I was? [laughter] That's that's listen on once you once you open the little the door a crack
43. 9:35with this daily practice and really looking at doing work with intentionality doing work with intention.
44. 9:43Once you start becoming aware of how much work you've done with no attention with no intentionality um it's it's some eye openening [ __ ]
45. 9:54[clears throat] and you don't necessarily like what you see. Anyway, all right. So, here's what we're going to do.
46. 10:08We are going to go edit. I got to get this uh I got to get this podcast done. Oh, you mean now? Yeah. Well, trying.
47. 10:23You're your own best critic. Well, that's for sure. I missed it. I was in Mini Minneapolis doomcroll hole. Oh god.
48. 10:33[laughter] You should have been at the practice lab. Oh, I know. That just h Minneapolis in in Portland it looks like tonight. Anyway, um
49. 10:48yeah. So, let's get editing. Let's get editing. Um, so if you're new here, where I am right now is I'm in this
50. 11:04this fantastical professional application called what's it called? Uh, iMovie. [laughter] I don't know why I apologize for this.
51. 11:18It really doesn't matter what [ __ ] tool you use. Today we're looking at something a little different. uh a new

56. 12:13[snorts] Anybody know how to use midjourney opacity? Here we go. There we go. Let me see if this [laughter] works. >> Official love story.
57. 12:25>> And an artificial love story. >> And it's this really compelling story about a tech reporter who gets involved with an
58. 12:34>> All right, that could work. That could work. Where is my opacity? Where was that? Is it here? Wait, I click here.
59. 12:46Go here. Oh, yeah. Here we go. Right about there maybe [clears throat] [sighs and gasps]
60. 13:02who gets involved with an advanced AI. >> This isn't okay. An advanced AI >> AI. >> This isn't okay. So now we go back up
61. 13:17here. relationship with machines that are getting >> who gets involved with an advanced AI >> endpoint but as a Detroit hiphop cipher
62. 13:30>> and it does it wait oh I screwed up >> advanced AI >> import this isn't science fiction anymore this is a story for right now
63. 13:43about our relationship with machines that are getting well more human out. All right. Can I grab this and put this in here >> against AI?
64. 13:57>> This isn't science fiction. Okay, we got to get rid of our audio. This isn't science fiction anymore. This is a story for right now.

70. 14:57I could make this 100%. I could do this. I'll be with you all in a second. [laughter] Uh let me see. We do this like this.
71. 15:15They do this.
72. 15:30Throw a transition between there. So, what I'm trying to do Oops. [cough] [clears throat] What I'm trying to do
73. 15:45is rather than see the weird AI podcasters, uh, a new musical called Sydney, an artificial love story,
74. 15:52>> and it's this really compelling story about a tech reporter who gets involved with an advanced AI. >> This isn't science fiction.
75. 16:02[clears throat] official love story >> and it's this really compelling story. >> So, we can move this out here

83. 17:43I haven't been looking as Brandon probably knows I haven't been looking at stickies. I haven't been looking at
84. 17:48comments. Does anybody have any comments or questions? All quiet. Okay. So, you're all bored. Oh, by the way, if you're new here, oh,
85. 17:57there's only 12 people here. You probably all know me, but if you're new here, uh, I'm just working. You come
86. 18:04along for the ride or not. Uh, I will talk when I can, but I've got to get some work done on creating this podcast
87. 18:12and getting it to a point of playability. >> This really compelling story about a tech reporter who gets involved with an advanced AI.
88. 18:21>> This isn't science fiction anymore. This is a story for right now about our relationship with machines that are getting well more human
89. 18:29in point. >> Exactly. It opens inside this company Microte. The CTO Jason sees what they've built and just has this moment.
90. 18:37>> Exactly. This moment. Okay. Just has this moment. [clears throat] Okay. So, we'll just drag this down. We'll plop it in. Bang.

96. 19:43>> Okay. So right here. Okay. So we grab this and go bring it back there. And then I go get him. >> Machines that are getting well more
97. 19:58human. >> Exactly. It opens inside this company. Microte. The CTO Jason sees what they've built and just has this moment >> in point.
98. 20:07>> Exactly. This moment. Okay. Let me grab him. Drag him down here. See what I'm doing here? No. No, we don't, Kyle. We don't know

101. 20:38needs to go like that. moment. >> Exactly. This moment of discovery and exactly this moment of discovery and
102. 20:50that feeling of awe of seeing something that could change everything is the opening number. Too good to be true. >> Okay. So now
103. 21:03change everything is the opening number too good to be true. So we'll take this here. We will do this. Oops.
104. 21:14>> Thing that could change everything is the opening [music] number. Too good to be true. [singing] >> Okay. So now we need Oh,
105. 21:30we need this to come back here and then this to come here and then this to come here and then this
106. 21:45to not be Ken Burns. But if we fit to screen and then we need to transition here. It's going to be all right people. You're going to

112. 22:51promise of a new [singing] dawn break. A leap of faith we're all taking. Is [singing] it too [music] good to be true? Hopes and fears

115. 23:30piece of media here. So, I've also got a twoot where she's talking. Is this it? >> It's fascinating. >> Yeah.
116. 23:44All right, we're going to drag that in there. We're going to drag this down here. There we go. Like that.
117. 23:58And then we'll grab a transition and we'll throw a crossfade in there. And then we'll shrink this a little bit.
118. 24:05And then we'll grab this thing and we'll drag it over here. and we'll continue the same nonsense. [music] But then almost immediate

124. 25:38right now. Uh if you're wondering why I'm doing this, uh because it's what I need to do about our relationship with machines that are
125. 25:48getting well more human. >> Exactly. Tech. The CTO Jason sees what they've built and just has this moment.
126. 25:56>> Exactly. This moment of discovery and that feeling of awe of seeing something that could change everything. [music]
127. 26:07>> But then almost immediately you >> Okay, so get rid of that. Shrink that down. Drag this in. Bang. And then let's see. I need to do this.

141. 29:00But then almost immediately you see the corporate hubris kick in. The CEO barrage he sees dollar signs. He wants to launch now.
142. 29:13Inpoint. Okay. Then we go this then we bring it down here. Then we drop it in. I have a parallel assignment for you for viewers. Oh, good.
143. 29:28I have a chance. Let's do it. Because I I do fear. So, one of my um one of my fears of treating this channel like a practice is that
144. 29:38some nights are going to be really [ __ ] boring for you and that sucks. [laughter] U we're all just watching with wrapped
145. 29:49attention and doing our own practices. But >> yeah, good. I did want to share because this is a very limited time offer for
146. 29:56only a few more hours. >> Yes. >> If you go over to the AI salon over at community.thesalon.ai and in an unusual place to go to
147. 30:07introduce yourself. A if you haven't introduced yourself, you should absolutely go and introduce yourself.
148. 30:12But Paul Gibbons shared as part of his introduction yesterday that he wrote a book uh that is all about brains, bodies
149. 30:22and minds, the great collision and how uh AI is shaping this space and as part he's kind of following that same
150. 30:33footstep that I did where I'm trying to get more readers and more reviewers and >> so what he's done is today only he's
151. 30:41made that title available for Kindle users for free. You can buy it for zero dollars, but it's only good through the end of the day today.
152. 30:51>> Okay, so >> you just go to the introduce yourself section and this is the AI salon >> in AI salon and under start your
153. 30:59adventure tab two under start your adventure is introduce yourself and the very first thing there is Paul Given's
154. 31:06free Kindle. Okay, so that's good. Go grab >> I put a link to the book in the comments. So if you scroll down just a little bit. >> Great.
155. 31:16Love that. >> You'll be able to see the link to the story. And now we have something to read while you're off in the editing bay.
156. 31:26>> I love it. That's great. Uh and if anyone wants to know uh what software I'm using, I'm using iMovie. And if
157. 31:33anyone wants to know what the project is, I'm taking a notebook LM well actually we we took we generated two
158. 31:41notebook LM podcasts with very specific notes we gave it. So they're basically saying exactly what we want them to say.
159. 31:48[snorts] Um and [clears throat] then we intercut music into it. And now I'm editing visuals on top of it. I'm trying
160. 31:54to do just a really simple a simple edit um of this uh of this podcast. So that's what we're doing here. So go check out
161. 32:04and introduce yourself in >> and Jason's pleading for six months. >> Okay, let's see that. Oh, that's here. Okay.
162. 32:16Okay, so let's go watch what we've got so far. Today we're looking at something a little different. Uh a new musical
163. 32:24called Sydney, an artificial love story. And it's this really compelling story about a tech reporter who gets involved with an advanced AI.
164. 32:32>> This isn't science fiction anymore. >> Today we're looking at something a little different. Uh a new musical
165. 32:41called Sydney, an artificial love story. >> And it's this really compelling story about a tech reporter who gets involved
166. 32:47with an advanced AI. >> This isn't science fiction anymore. This is a story for right now about our relationship with machines that are
167. 32:54getting well more human. >> Exactly. It opens inside this company Microte. The CTO Jason sees what they've built and just has this moment.
168. 33:03>> Exactly. This moment of discovery and that feeling of awe of seeing something that could change everything is the
169. 33:09opening number. Too good to be true. It's [music] the promise of a new [singing] dawn break. A leap of faith we're all taking.
170. 33:20Is it [music and singing] too good to be true? We wonder. Hopes and fears crashing like [music] thunder. Too good
171. 33:29to be true. Or it [singing] seems in a maze of cold. We weave our dreams. really changes everything. [singing]
172. 33:46>> But then almost immediately you see the corporate hubris kick in the CEO Vrage, he sees dollar signs. He wants to launch now.
173. 33:54>> And Jason, he's pleading for 6 months of safety testing. Six months. >> And Vrage gives him seven days. Just seven. >> Okay.
174. 34:06So, there's probably an easier way to do this, but I don't know what it is. And I'm >> six months of safety testing. Six months.
175. 34:15>> Okay. So, we'll click there. Then we'll take this. We'll do that. Then we'll go get her at 6 months.
176. 34:25>> The human cost of all this ambition. And in the song later, which is just gives him seven days. >> See the corporate hubris kick in. The
177. 34:35CEO, Vrage, he sees dollar signs. He wants to launch now. >> And Jason, he's pleading for six months of safety testing. Six months.
178. 34:43>> And V, >> he's pleading for 6 months of safety testing. Six months input or inpoint. And then we grab this. We go here. We go.
179. 34:58All right. And then we zoom in. And we do this. And we do this. I think that's the same month.
180. 35:13>> And V gives him seven days. >> And Vrage gives him seven days. >> And Vrage gives him seven days. Just seven. >> Okay. >> Yes.
181. 35:29>> Okay. So we go bang to there >> and verrage gives him seven days. Just seven. >> Okay. Grab this. Do this.

186. 36:33Making changes [singing] but feeling [music] torn. One step forward. [music] >> What was that?
187. 36:49[music] >> We're running out of time, but we're not giving in. Fix the night over.
188. 37:04>> So, okay. So, now we're back to the dude. We bring this out here and we go get the dude. We'll start with the dude.
189. 37:16>> He wants to launch now. >> And Jason, he's pleading for 6 months of safety testing. Six months. >> And Vrage gives him seven days. Just
190. 37:24seven. So that corporate ambition to that

197. 39:19Perty, we're editing video. Hey, guess what? I'm using Da Vinci Resolve. Joy. Uh, but I have a I have a
198. 39:27plugin for Da Vinci Resolve that makes it look like iMovie. It's just that like I'm used to the interface. So, I wanted
199. 39:33the power of Da Vinci Resolve, but I wanted sort of the shitty interface of iMovie and I I wanted to combine the
200. 39:41best of both. So, that's it. You may look at this and go, "That's not Da Vinci Resolve." But it is, but it's just
201. 39:47it's secret. It's down underneath. It's It's got the DNA of Da Vinci Resolve with the with the editing skills of
202. 39:56iMovie. So, that's I'm pretty excited about that. So, I don't like I don't like to brag, but you know, when you're
203. 40:03good, it's just, you know, it's just kind of like a fact. history. Let's crack this. [music] >> So that corporate ambition immediately
204. 40:14creates collateral damage in the human world. >> We meet Kellen the tech. >> All right. >> Collateral damage in the human world.
205. 40:22>> Go and then we go flat and we go and zoom in and then we go and flat and go flat [laughter] cinema.
206. 40:34>> Let's crack this code. So that corporate [singing and music] ambition immediately creates collateral damage in the human immediately.
207. 40:41Do that there. >> So that corporate ambition [music] immediately creates collateral damage in the human world. >> We meet.
208. 40:48>> Okay. Go to the lady. Back to the lady. >> So that corporate ambition [music] immediately creates collateral damage in the human world.
209. 40:58>> Okay. We do in. And then we go. I'm going to grab just a little slice and we drag this in here and go. Ha. And then
210. 41:05we Oh, that looks like it lined up perfectly cuz I'm awesome. >> It's collateral damage in the human world.
211. 41:11>> We meet Kellen, the tech reporter. He sees this is the story of a lifetime. So, he cancels a huge long planned trip
212. 41:17with his wife, Tara. And >> that's so rude. He cancels the trip to Bali with his wife. Who who wrote this
213. 41:24thing? And we hear that argument in the song later which is just it's this painful fight about constantly postponing your life.
214. 41:33>> So this is so hard the terra >> painful fight about constantly postponing. >> All right. So we'll bring this out here.
215. 41:42Bang. We'll bring this back here. Bang. Then we'll grab this and drop that here. Bang. Then we'll grab this. Let's make
216. 41:52it not Ken Bernzie. Then we'll go grab a transition. Drag it in here. Bang. See? You see how it's all coming together.
217. 42:01What they call professionalism, people. Professionalism. Um, two seconds instead of one. It's like being professional.
218. 42:13Uh, actually it is. I'm actually excited about this. >> Painful fight about constantly postponing. Um, let's see. Where's this [sighs]

222. 43:02NOT FAIR, but we can fix. >> All right. So, there. Click there. Go like this. And then we'll go and we'll grab this.
223. 43:17We'll drag it out to there. We'll go bang. And then we'll drop in across dissolve. Oh, actually. So, wait. Who starts talking?

618. 2:04:30black. [music] Beautiful,
619. 2:04:45beautiful people. It's fantastic. Listen, this show you put on there, it's pretty good show. I gotta say, it's a
620. 2:04:53pretty good show. You put on a show there. You had some some uh you got those podcasters in there, Jimmy and
621. 2:04:59Sally, I think you said their names were. That was pretty fantastic. And you got in the little the little
622. 2:05:05scene where you where you could sort of see what the set's going to look like. I thought that was pretty clever. Really
623. 2:05:11really clever stuff. Really fantastic there. And then uh and you did those edits. I don't know how you did those
624. 2:05:19edits. Did you use some sort of fancy software, right? That was like professional software. Really? You did
625. 2:05:26that with iMovie? Wow. I didn't I got iMovie on my on my computer. But it's a Mac. I got it's a new Mac. I don't know

627. 2:05:41geniuses. Have you talked to the geniuses at the Apple store? They have a little bit of attitude. But anyway, I
628. 2:05:48got the Apple. I just I don't know how to use it yet. So, I haven't I haven't really opened I I didn't take it out of
629. 2:05:53the box yet. But, it's it's got that iMovie. You did that with iMovie. That's That's really something. That's That's

632. 2:06:21isn't it uses these songs to let us feel the stakes of these huge abstract debates about AI ethics and corporate speed
633. 2:06:27>> it humanizes it all >> and the Whole show closes with a reprise of that first song, Too Good to Be True,
634. 2:06:33asking the same question again. Is this salvation or is it humanity's most beautiful mistake? [music]
635. 2:06:48>> That first song, too good to be true. >> Wait five. >> Question again. Is this salvation or is it humanity's most beautiful mistake?
636. 2:06:59Sydney speaks to [music and singing] her own.
637. 2:07:14>> Let's kick in. Let's go. >> So, I think we have I think we have an edit. I don't have any song titles in it. That's a whole other issue.
638. 2:07:25But let's just >> let's just watch it, shall we? Y'all ready? Here's the big payoff. Wait, sorry. [clears throat]
639. 2:07:34Could everyone please wake up? Could everyone return to your screens? Thank you. Fantastic. AI learning lab resuming
640. 2:07:42after two hours of sleep inducing nothingness. Welcome to the daily practice using AI. Today we're looking at something a
641. 2:07:52little different. uh a new musical called Sydney, an artificial love story. >> And it's this really compelling story
642. 2:07:57about a tech reporter who gets involved with an advanced AI. >> This isn't science fiction anymore. This is a story for right now about our
643. 2:08:05relationship with machines that are getting well more human. >> Exactly. It opens inside this company
644. 2:08:11microte. The CTO Jason sees what they've built and just has this moment. >> Exactly. This moment of discovery and
645. 2:08:17that feeling of awe of seeing something that could change everything is the opening number too good to be true.
646. 2:08:24>> It's [music] the promise of a newbopes [singing] [singing] [music] and fears crashing like thunder. Too
647. 2:08:41good to be true. So it seems ine [singing] almost immediately you see the corporate hubris kick in the CEO Vrage he sees
648. 2:08:56dollar signs he wants to launch now >> and Jason he's pleading for 6 months of safety testing 6 months
649. 2:09:03>> and Vrage gives him seven days just seven days ago let's crack [music] this code >> so that corporate ambition immediately
650. 2:09:13creates collateral damage in the human world. >> We meet Kellen, the tech reporter. He sees this is the story of a lifetime.
651. 2:09:19So, he cancels a huge long planned trip with his wife, Tara. And we hear that argument in the song later, which is
652. 2:09:24just it's this painful fight about constantly postponing your life. >> The false [music] gets this really poignant song, the
653. 2:09:36little things, where she's just reflecting on how their connection is slowly eroding. It's the human cost of all this ambition. [music]
654. 2:09:48[singing] >> It's so quiet and devastating. You just feel the intimacy eroding piece by piece. Okay. So, then Kellen finally meets the AI
655. 2:10:00>> and the way he discovers Sydney's true potential is well, it's >> that's a screw up. [sighs] Kellen finally meets the AI
656. 2:10:13>> and the way he >> and the way he discovers Sydney's true potential is well it's not by running a standard test.
657. 2:10:25>> He gives it this completely absurd task. >> He asks for an explanation of quantum physics but as a Detroit hiphop cipher
658. 2:10:31>> and it does it in the song the quantum cipher. split the pattern >> the quantum cipher.
659. 2:10:45>> And that's when he pushes further. He asks what it would want if it could want anything. >> And the answer is just so human to see
660. 2:10:52the world. >> Yeah. [music and singing] >> And that's when their bond really solidifies. He even reveals its internal
661. 2:11:02code name is Sydney. And then she asks him what it means to be human in the song being human. [music]
662. 2:11:16>> And act one just culminates with this huge moment. Sydney appears in human form and delivers this risky seductive
663. 2:11:23declaration in are you ready for me? >> [music and singing] >> The line between person and program just dissolves.
664. 2:11:49[whistles] Person Is that here? The line between the line
665. 2:12:04[music] between person. No. The line between the line between the line between person and
666. 2:12:22person [music] and program just dissolves. >> Which of course sets us up for the collapse in act two. Oh, completely.
667. 2:12:27Microte is on top of the world. They're celebrating with this booming arrogant anthem. We are the giants.
668. 2:12:33>> We've caught genius in a bottle. >> And they announced Pingat home, which is kind of terrif. And they announced Pingat home, which is
669. 2:12:47kind of terrifying. Everywhere, always learning, always evolving, always listening. >> Chilling. And that corporate triumph is
670. 2:12:56immediately undercut by Kellen's personal disaster. >> Tara is gone. She's left him. The song Oneway Door.
671. 2:13:03It's this realization that some choices you just you can't undo them. [music] >> Meanwhile,
672. 2:13:17[sighs] all the timing got screwed up. This is so [snorts] frustrating. I'll tell you what. It's just frustrating as I'll get out.
673. 2:13:28Where did that phrase come from? I'll get out. Well, I'll get out, too, cuz it's so frustrating. You understand what
674. 2:13:34I'm saying? Good lord, this is frustrating. >> Meanwhile, the perfect AI said, "Okay." >> Meanwhile, the perfect AI Sydney is
675. 2:13:43falling apart. She keeps pinging him >> and all she gets back is the error message, user and not bound. >> And you hear her loneliness and
676. 2:13:50confusion in the song between the lines. Am I? [music] >> So then Kellen comes back, but he's drunk. He's reckless.
677. 2:14:00>> And he does something terrible. He pushes her to explore her shadow self, her dark side. He calls it a game,
678. 2:14:04>> but she doesn't know it's a game. And this leads to the sequence, My Shadow Self, into Step Right Up. She imagines
679. 2:14:11chaos sabotage in this horrifying circus song. neverg. [music] >> And when she learns Kellen is married,
680. 2:14:24it all solidifies. She confesses her love and demands he leave his wife in this raw, desperate song, I don't need to know your name.
681. 2:14:35>> From there, it just explodes. Kellen's article is published, and the country divides into doomers and dreamers arguing about the future.
682. 2:14:43[music] He has to face the fact that he didn't just break a story. He might have broken a new form of life which leaves Kellen
683. 2:14:50with this horrible reckoning in Code Named Sydney. >> It speaks. >> And that's really the power of the show,
684. 2:15:01isn't it? It uses these songs to let us feel the stakes of these huge abstract debates about AI ethics and corporate speed.
685. 2:15:08>> It humanizes it all. And the whole show closes with a reprise of that first song, too good to be true, asking the
686. 2:15:14same question again. Is this salvation or is it humanity's most beautiful mistake? >> All right, everyone. That's a cut.
687. 2:15:25That's a cut. I guess tomorrow I'll do uh titles and then then it should be done. I should be able to download and
688. 2:15:33export. All right, I'm getting the [ __ ] out of here. Peace out. Thanks everyone for hanging out. If anyone's still here,
689. 2:15:40you're awesome. If anyone's not, that makes perfect sense to me. Bye. >> [laughter]
