Description
What's your vibe tonight? Coding? Storytelling? Inventing novel breakthrough? Or another Stephen Hawking meme? Choice is yours.
In a fascinating live session from the AI Learning Lab, host Kyle Shannon embarks on a collaborative journey to create a complete song from a single, spontaneous guitar lick. Using ChatGPT to generate poignant lyrics about two people on the verge of a relationship at a pre-dawn carnival, Kyle then turns to Suno AI to bring the music to life. The process is a masterclass in iterative creation, as Kyle and his audience experiment with numerous prompts and styles, tweaking everything from instrumentation to vocal delivery. They navigate technical glitches and creative dead-ends, constantly refining the track from a simple folk pop ballad into a beautifully minimalist and emotionally resonant final piece titled "Before the Lights Come On."
Beyond the captivating songwriting demonstration, the conversation delves into the broader implications of generative AI in creative fields. Kyle tackles the debate on AI and originality, comparing its learning process to human cognition, which also builds upon past experiences. The session also offers valuable insights for other creators, including a practical guide on using AI as a brainstorming partner to develop novel premises for writing projects. Furthermore, Kyle provides a candid look at the current state of AI video generation, discussing the capabilities, high costs, and artistic potential of tools like Midjourney, making this a must-watch for anyone interested in the hands-on application of AI in the arts.

The 0:49 only one I truly can know. 0:53 These are tears from a long time ago. 0:57 Got these tears from a long time ago. I 1:01 need to cry 30 years or so. 1:05 These are tears for a long time. 1:08 [Music] 1:10 No. 1:12 [Music] 1:18 Oh darling, oh darling, you say unto me, 1:25 where have you been all my life? 1:29 [Music] 1:32 Well, I have been swimming the seven sad 1:35 seas. 1:38 Poor women have tossed me their 1:40 lifelines. 1:42 I'd pull them into the waters. 1:46 might have them, but I didn't know. 1:51 These are tears from a long time ago. 1:54 Got these tears from a long time ago. I 1:58 need to cry. 30 years old. So, these are 2:03 tears from a long time. 2:06 [Music] 2:25 Welcome, welcome, producer Brandon. 2:26 Producer Brandon a little late tonight. 2:28 Checking in a little late. Not a 2:29 problem. He's got a whole other show he 2:31 does. Not just as producer, he's he's 2:34 he's he's star of the show. And you're 2:37 like, well, producer Brandon's star of 2:38 this show. I Exactly. 2:41 He's busy. So there you have that. Dr. 2:44 Jay, what's happening? What's shaking? 2:46 What's going down? 2:48 Good evening, good people. Share the 2:50 live if you would be so kind. 2:54 [Music] 2:59 You like that? 3:01 [Music] 3:12 [Music] 3:32 [Music] 3:37 What's Hello. 3:40 Is this it? 3:42 [Music] 3:45 Wait. 3:53 [Music] 3:57 Huh? 4:00 [Music] 4:23 Is that higher? I think it's higher. 4:26 [Music] 4:39 [Music] 4:44 I can't remember those chords. 4:50 What I can tell you is I'm as good at AI 4:53 as I am at guitar. 5:01 He's not very good at guitar. What are 5:03 we going to do? I It's called the AI 5:06 learning lab. I would think he would 5:07 have some qualifications. I came in here 5:09 to learn something about artificial 5:11 intelligence. I heard from my work. I 5:13 don't work there anymore. They let us 5:15 all go. But I heard from my work that 5:17 artificial intelligence was the future. 5:19 And so I've come here for that. And he 5:21 he claims to not know anything about it. 5:25 [Music] 5:54 Wonder if I should turn that into Suno 5:56 song. H I bet I can't remember it. 6:01 I bet I can't remember it. Let's see if 6:06 I can. 6:09 We're going to So, hello. 6:13 We're going to share this tab instead 6:15 because if we don't share the tab 6:16 correctly, Brandon gets all sorts of 6:18 twisted up in a bunch. Cams. Yeah. Yeah. 6:22 Yeah. All right. cams, bars, black box 6:26 thing. 6:29 Okay. Wait, what was that? 6:34 Wait, 6:37 [Music] 6:44 that's all it is. 6:46 Let's see what Suno 6:50 can do with that. 6:52 We're going to add audio. We're going to 6:54 record. We're going to turn my little 6:56 microphone 6:57 down toward my guitar. 7:00 8 minute limit for audio uploads. I 7:02 don't think we're going to come close to 7:04 that. 7:08 Okay, I got to give it permission. Oh my 7:11 god. Why does it dump it over to the 7:14 iPhone all the time? 7:17 All right, hang on. Hang on. Start over. 7:21 Everybody just calm. Your browser 7:23 browser has lost connection. All right. 7:26 I might not be able to We'll figure this 7:28 out, people. 7:34 [Music] 7:51 Wait. 7:55 [Music] 8:04 Okay. Let's see. I got to cut off the 8:07 beginning of this. 8:09 Is it here? No, I don't think so. Let's 8:12 see. 8:37 [Music] 9:02 Okay. He should be able to hear me now. 9:09 Champy's at the top of his game. All 9:10 right, here we go. 9:13 I'm going try this again. Let me get 9:15 this wire out of the way. 9:19 By the way, what we're doing here, if 9:21 you didn't if you didn't know, because I 9:23 I didn't I just had a brain fart and I 9:26 was just playing around on my 9:30 [Music] 9:33 I just came up with this little lick 9:35 that I thought was kind of interesting. 9:37 And uh then I thought, "Oh, wonder what 9:39 Sunoa could do with that as a song." So, 9:41 we're going to figure that out. 9:49 [Music] 10:01 [Applause] 10:02 [Music] 10:13 Okay. 10:15 [Music] 10:28 Okay, so we just recorded that crappy 10:31 little lick played mediocre 10:34 mediocrely. 10:38 We're going to save that to library. 10:42 All right, lyrics. What does that sound 10:45 like? 10:46 We're not going to use human lyrics 10:49 because why? 10:52 Um, all right. We're going to go to 10:54 chat. JP Thai. 10:57 Welcome everybody. If you're new here, 10:58 how many folks are in here right now? 11:00 Oh, just a handful. This is This is all 11:02 irregulars. You all know me. If anybody 11:03 doesn't know me, I'm Kyle. This is the 11:05 AI learning lab. We're gonna figure some 11:07 [ __ ] out tonight. Okay. Um, 11:12 you're 11:14 a 11:17 Grammy awardw winning 11:21 lyricist. You know what would be nice is 11:23 if I could upload that little lick to 11:26 chat GPT and have it hear it. I could 11:28 probably do that over at 11:31 at Gemini, couldn't I? your 11:33 award-winning Grammy award-winning 11:35 lyricist 11:38 known for 11:42 clever word play and 11:46 um profound 11:49 imagery. 11:51 All right, good. 11:54 Isn't five multimodal? 11:57 I 12:00 I don't know if it can do audio like 12:02 song analysis. I've never tried it. We 12:04 can You know what, producer Brandon, 12:05 throw that on the purple post-it. Let's 12:08 try that next. Yes, you're late, Mr. It. 12:10 It ruined everything. It ruined 12:12 everything. 12:14 Everyone was here. We were ready to 12:16 start. We lit the candles. Everybody was 12:18 getting ready to blow them out. And 12:20 someone was like, "Where's Mr. It?" So, 12:23 the candles just melted down. The cakes 12:25 ruined. 12:26 Anyway, welcome, welcome. Okay. 12:30 Um, profound imagery. What does it sound 12:32 like? 12:37 Um, 12:45 [Music] 12:50 I got it. 12:53 write 12:55 a song 12:58 about two people 13:03 who haven't quite 13:07 decided 13:10 if they are more than friends 13:16 as they walk around 13:21 a carnival. 13:25 a few hours before it opens. 13:31 That's nice. 13:34 All right, here we go. Soulpiercing 13:38 lyricist. Oh, that's good. I should have 13:39 done that. 13:41 The struggles of swimming upstream 13:43 against the current. 13:45 The current like salmon. That's good. 13:48 That's okay. Let's see what we got here. 13:49 What's it called? Before the lights come 13:51 on. I like that genre folk pop ballad 13:55 with cinematic imagery crossed between 13:57 Phoebe Phoebe Brides and Paul Simon. The 14:00 ferris wheels asleep, its arms still 14:02 folded tight. We walk between the 14:04 shadows and strings of halfway light. 14:07 Ooh, strings of halfway light is 14:08 beautiful. The popcorn stands are 14:11 dreaming of laughter. They'll be fed and 14:14 your reflection in a puddles turning 14:16 pink instead of red. Wow, that's 14:18 beautiful. 14:19 You say it's strange to see it empty. I 14:22 say it's strange to feel this Kong. You 14:24 smile like you know something. I know 14:26 I've already begun. Aw. 14:30 Before the lights come on, before the 14:32 crowd arrives, before we name what this 14:34 could be, before this the day survives, 14:38 we linger in the middle. We linger in 14:42 the middle where the maybe feels like 14:45 song. That's a great line. We linger in 14:48 the middle where maybe feels like song 14:50 to hearts not yet decided before the 14:53 lights come on. This is [ __ ] good. 14:58 Okay, so let's copy all this. We don't 15:01 need no stinking brains. 15:03 Brains is tasty. 15:05 H you know that brains is tasty. 15:12 That's Chichin Chong, by the way, if 15:14 you're triggered because I'm making a 15:16 fun of someone. I'm not. I'm mimicking 15:18 Chichin Chong. Okay. Um, okay. We're 15:21 going to paste the lyrics here. We're 15:23 going to go grab the title. 15:28 [Music] 15:32 Do we want this to be a female or a 15:34 male? 15:36 I think it's from a point of view. Hang 15:38 on. 15:40 Um, 15:42 style influence. Okay. So, wait. So, we 15:45 got to get the the style folk pop ballad 15:48 with cinematic imagery. Oh, so, okay. 15:51 So, here's what we're going to do. I'm 15:52 going to go back to chat. Oh, I haven't 15:54 sw switched my tab. Okay, I'm back at 15:56 chat GBT. I'm going to grab um I'm going 16:01 to grab this description and I'm going 16:02 to have it kill the artist names. So, 16:06 I'm going to say, um, give me a new ve, 16:12 that's not give. Give me a new music 16:16 prompt 16:19 that doesn't 16:22 include artists name but captures 16:30 their styles 16:33 as you intend. I want chat to to design 16:38 this song. 16:41 Can you give Sunno? Can't you give Sunno 16:44 the same name? Oh, the same. I could 16:46 tell it to do this. 16:49 Yeah, but that's okay. It's captures. 16:52 Captures. Okay. 16:56 [Music] 17:03 Extend the lyrics. Four more versus 17:05 female. Of course. Okay. Sarah Mclofflin 17:07 cross crossed with Corey Sandler. I like 17:10 it. That's solid. Okay, great. Create 17:12 Jesus Christ. Um, 17:16 I need this as a simple 17:20 200 character 17:23 prompt. 17:26 Good lord, you went overboard. 17:40 Hey Corey, did you see Sarah Mclofflin 17:42 on uh on the Kelly Clarkson show singing 17:45 her 17:48 angel? 17:49 Which which, you know, Kelly Clarkson 17:52 was like, I can't I can't hear that song 17:54 anymore. I just think of Sad Puppies. Um 17:57 but man, they sang they sang a duet and 18:00 Kelly Clarkson's um harmonies on that 18:04 were [ __ ] she's incredible, man. 18:07 Incredible. Um, by the way, is is audio 18:11 Can you hear my voice good? Is it better 18:13 or worse than it has been for the past 18:15 couple of weeks? I think this mic I got 18:18 is is shittier. I don't know. Like I've 18:20 got either a bad cable or bad settings 18:25 or something. 18:27 Okay, it's okay. Okay, fine. Okay, now 18:29 we're going back to Sununo and I'm 18:31 actually going to switch my screen this 18:32 time. So, we're going to go down here. 18:34 We're going to go style. We're going to 18:36 pop that in there. 18:38 Bittersweet folk pop ballad set in a 18:41 quiet carnival before dawn. I don't know 18:44 what actually it'll be interesting to 18:46 soon see what Sunno does with that. If 18:48 we get like some Collopy music or 18:50 something. Two friends on the edge of 18:52 love, soft acoustic, ambient shimmer, 18:54 tender vocals, nostalgic yet full of 18:57 unspoken hope. Fine. Let's let's let's 19:00 see. Let's see how it do. All right. 19:05 Um, 19:07 so we'll go verse. 19:12 I gota I got to put all these lyrics in 19:15 uh what you call it brackets. So hold 19:18 please while I do some 19:22 whatever this is called. 19:25 Manuel labor. 19:29 We linger in the middle. 19:44 pre chorus 19:47 bracketology. Yes, this is this is the 19:49 bracketology. It's exactly what's 19:50 happening here. Uh if you're new here, 19:53 how many folks here? We got some some 19:54 new folks in. I'm Kyle Shannon. This the 19:56 AI learning lab. What we're learning 19:58 tonight 20:00 is I played a little teeny tiny 20:02 just guitar lick. 20:05 And then I thought about what it sounded 20:07 like. 20:08 And then I had Chat GPT write me some 20:10 lyrics and they were actually pretty 20:12 [ __ ] good. 20:15 Um because I've done this before and the 20:18 lyrics are like laughingly bad, but this 20:21 was not bad. Okay, so we got that. Now 20:26 we're going to scroll down here. We got 20:28 our style. 20:30 Advanced options. Exclude styles. No, 20:33 we'll do that. We're going to go female. 20:35 Corey Sandler insisted. And if Corey 20:38 says it's got to be a woman, it's got to 20:39 be a woman. You don't mess with her. You 20:42 just don't do it. She can throw clay. 20:46 Okay. She can throw clay. So, if you 20:49 think she's messing with you, she's not. 20:52 So, we just do what she says. That's 20:54 what we do around here. Weirdness. 20:56 Let's go. We're going to go up a little 20:58 bit in weirdness. We'll go to 67. 67. 21:03 There should be something that happens 21:05 there. If a Jenzer is nearby, they're 21:08 probably laughing right now. Oh boy, 21:10 I'll tell you. 21:14 All right. And the song is called Before 21:15 the Lights Come On. All right. Here we 21:18 go. Do you want to hear my Do you want 21:19 to hear my uh Oh, no. That's not That's 21:22 a different thing. 21:25 We're making new songs. Oh yeah, here's 21:27 the recording. 21:32 Oh, I didn't trim it. Dang it. That may 21:35 not matter. 21:36 Can I trim this? 21:39 Edit. 21:44 I thought I did trim it. 21:47 Maybe I didn't. I don't know. 21:50 Whatever. Let's Let's just go see what 21:53 what Sununo did. 22:13 [Music] 22:16 Hang on. I got to reshare because when 22:18 when my microphone took a dump. This is 22:22 sounding like an amazing little song. 22:24 It sounded like like a really sweet 22:28 sweet little song. 22:31 I've been doing a lot of incredible 22:33 guitar solos 22:35 in the call and response direction. Oh, 22:37 that's cool. 22:40 You can insert stage direction that can 22:43 include a call and response solo to an 22:45 instrument. Oh, cool. 22:47 Okay, here we go. Uh, record it. We're I 22:50 mean, we're wherever we are. We're at 22:52 the beginning again. Here. Here's here's 22:54 our little song with our with our not 22:57 only poorly played little guitar piece, 22:59 but like the piece at the beginning that 23:03 was just janky. 23:05 [Music] 23:15 A ferris wheels asleep, its arms still 23:18 folded tight. We walk between the 23:21 shadows and the strings of halfway 23:23 light. The popcorn stands are dreaming 23:26 of the laughter they'll be fed and your 23:28 reflection in a puddle's turning pink 23:31 instead of red. 23:34 You say it's strange to see it empty. 23:39 I say it's strange to feel this calm. 23:43 You smile like you know something. 23:55 >> Hold on. 23:57 There's There's a There's an audio 23:59 artifact in there. 24:02 Yeah, we you lost it because I had two I 24:04 had two shares up and uh 24:08 so something something was weird. Let's 24:10 let's listen listen to the other one for 24:12 a second. And then I think I want to go 24:14 edit. I think what I'm going to do is 24:15 I'm going to edit the the jankiness out 24:18 of the beginning and then remaster it. 24:20 And then we'll use that as the basis. 24:24 [Music] 24:33 >> The ferris wheels asleep. It arms still 24:36 folded tight. We walk between the 24:39 shadows and the strings of halfway 24:42 light. The popcorn stands are dreaming 24:45 of the laughter they'll be fed in your 24:48 reflection. In a puddle is turning pink 24:51 instead of red. You say it's strange to 24:54 see it empty. 24:56 >> Wow, that's so cool. Okay, so let's go 24:58 fix this recording and make another 25:00 couple of couple of couple of actions. 25:04 What's going on? Why can I not go edit 25:08 this? 25:10 Open an editor. 25:12 [Music] 25:17 In the studio, you have complete DAW 25:19 controls and you can clone your voice, 25:22 too. Yeah, I haven't really dug into um 25:25 all the stuff you can do now in Sunno. 25:28 Here's the part that's [ __ ] up. Let's 25:30 hear. Listen. 25:33 Okay, that was bad. So, can I just 25:35 delete this? No, of course not. Oh, 25:37 wait. I did. 25:41 Okay, there's that click. So, let's get 25:43 rid of Let's get rid of 25:47 I think I have this twice. So, let me 25:51 grab that. Oh, no. That's not right. 25:55 No. Oh, okay. I see what I can do. 26:05 How do I grab the end of this? 26:20 Um, can I zoom in? Yes. 26:31 [Music] 26:51 [Music] 27:21 Um, 27:25 save his new song. 27:31 23 second. Wait, 23 seconds. I don't 27:34 think it's that long. Anyway, all right. 27:35 Maybe it is. 27:37 All right. And then we're going to go. 27:40 This is it, I think. 27:43 Oh, you're not seeing this. 27:46 Share this tab instead. 27:47 [Music] 27:50 All 27:55 right. Um, who knows why it's given that 27:57 pop. Let's remaster it 28:01 and see if it depopifies it. So, we're 28:04 going to go 28:06 remixedit. 28:07 We're going to go create 28:10 remaster. 28:20 Remaster 28:22 remastered successfully. Beautiful. 28:26 Beautiful. Beautiful. Beautiful. 28:29 Beautiful. Remastering clip. 28:32 Where's our remaster? 28:40 [Laughter] 28:42 Remastered. Okay. Oh, there's two of 28:44 them. 28:47 [Music] 28:56 Okay. 29:00 [Music] 29:07 That was good. 29:12 Right. 29:24 I like that weird [ __ ] it did with it. 29:26 Okay. So, this one we're now going to go 29:28 cover, 29:30 right? We're going to cover this one. 29:34 All right. So, it's loading that there. 29:37 Beautiful. 29:39 Beautiful. Beautiful. Beautiful. 29:43 And then 29:45 we got to go back to chat jeep 29:48 and I need to get my style prompt. 29:53 So we're So there's our style prompt and 29:57 then we got to go back and get our 29:58 lyrics. 30:05 Oh crap. Oh, you know what I can do? I 30:07 can go to this other song where it's got 30:09 the lyrics in there. 30:11 before the lights come on and I can go 30:13 get me some lyrics. 30:17 Um, yeah, there we go. 30:23 Now I don't have to do the editing. 30:25 Copy. And then I go 30:28 back. 30:31 Did I lose everything? No. I pop my new 30:35 lyrics in. 30:38 All right. Fantastic Bob. And then I go 30:42 down to our advanced options 30:45 and we put in a little lady. We do the 30:48 weirdness up a little bit like we talked 30:50 about. 30:52 Audio influence, we're going to leave it 30:54 25. Style influence, we're going to 30:56 leave it 50. That's fine. And then we 30:58 need our song title 31:01 before the lights come on. 31:07 before the 31:09 lights come on. 31:19 Yeah, I guess that's good. Okay. Create. 31:25 Now we should have a song that's similar 31:27 to what we had before, but without the 31:29 popping the popping stuff. 31:39 Hopefully it's kind of like that because 31:41 I'll I'll do a a remaster of this one 31:44 because this one's really cute. 31:54 It has that little pop in it. So, we'll 31:56 rem Actually, you know what? Let's just 31:57 [ __ ] it. Let's go remaster that one 31:59 right now. remaster. 32:13 All right, 32:14 that one's getting remastered. 32:21 And then we've got 32:26 [Music] 32:35 The ferris wheels asleep arms still 32:38 folded tight. We walk between the 32:41 shadows and the strings of halfway 32:44 light. The popcorn stands are dreaming 32:46 of the laughter. They'll be fed in your 32:49 reflection in a puddle's turning pink 32:52 instead of red. You say it's strange to 32:55 see it empty. 32:58 I say it's strange to feel this calm. 33:03 You smile like you know something 33:08 I don't know. I've already begun. 33:13 Before the lights come on before the 33:16 crowd arrives. 33:20 [Music] 33:26 Why am I getting goosebumps? 33:30 AI can't be creative. 33:33 AI can't be creative. 33:36 The the trolls come in here and they 33:38 tell us this night after night after 33:39 night. It can't do anything original. It 33:41 can't do anything creative. 33:44 Sorry. Yes, it can. Holy [ __ ] That was 33:47 really good. Um, it was a little little 33:49 janky, but but really beautiful. Let's 33:52 hear this one. 33:56 [Music] 34:09 The ferris wheels asleep, its arms still 34:12 folded tight. We walk between the 34:15 shadows and the strings of halfway 34:18 light. The popcorn stands are dreaming 34:21 of the laughter they'll be fed. And your 34:23 reflection in a puddle is turning pink 34:26 instead of red. You say it's strange to 34:30 see it empty. 34:32 I say it's strange. 34:36 >> All right, let's I want to We've got to 34:38 add a little something to this. Um, 34:42 it's completely changed it. Yeah, 34:44 exactly. That one, that one was 34:45 completely changed. Let me go see if I 34:47 can find the remaster here 34:50 of 34:53 that original one. That was really 34:54 sweet. 34:57 Yeah, here we go. Before the lights come 34:59 on remastered 35:01 Tik Tok pin. 35:04 I got goodies on Oh, I got gooseies on 35:07 my recent songs. I I I I created YouTube 35:11 channel called sleep 35:14 to house them. Oh, that's so cool. Yeah. 35:18 I you know, it's funny. I was talking to 35:20 my friend Steve today and he was saying 35:22 something about, you know, it not being 35:25 able to have a novel thought. 35:28 And I was like, well, how do we have 35:31 novel thoughts, right? He goes he goes 35:34 he goes how can it have a novel thought 35:36 if it's only been trained on things in 35:38 from the past and I'm like how does our 35:41 brain work? Like what's it been trained 35:44 on? Things from the past, right? Like we 35:49 [ __ ] went in our head when we were eight 35:51 and when we were five and when we were 35:53 13 and then we learned to play a song at 35:55 27 and then we wrote a song at 28 35:59 and then we got 36:02 stalked by some crazy [ __ ] in New 36:04 York and then right all that shit's in 36:07 the past but it's in there somewhere 36:11 and how do you get it out? I don't know. 36:13 You have you you create some sort of 36:16 probability calculator that when someone 36:18 gives you a a prompt, 36:20 you you have a bunch of tokens that get 36:23 zapped together and spit it out 36:27 remarkably like a large language model. 36:33 Jeff Flanigan, I live in the past like a 36:35 lot. Most people do. Most people do. Um 36:40 it's great. I created lullabibies with 36:42 both lyrics and instruments. They're 36:43 killer good. Now you have eight hours of 36:46 it. That's awesome, man. All right, 36:47 let's let's listen to this remaster. 36:59 The ferris wheels asleep, its arms still 37:02 folded tight. We walk between the 37:04 shadows and the strings of halfway 37:07 light. The popcorn stands a dreaming of 37:09 the laughter they'll be fed and your 37:12 reflection in a puddle's turning pink 37:14 instead of red. 37:18 You say it's strange to see it empty. 37:22 I say it's strange to feel his calm. 37:27 You smile like you know something 37:31 I don't know I've already begun. 37:35 M 37:37 before the lights come on. Before the 37:40 crowd arrives, before we name what this 37:43 could be, before the day survives, we 37:47 linger in the middle where the maybe 37:49 feels like song. Two hearts not yet 37:52 decided. Before the lights come on, 37:58 [Music] 38:04 a prize bear in the windows got a rip 38:07 along the seam. You laugh and say he's 38:10 just like me, stitched up from a dream. 38:15 [Music] 38:20 >> Huh. Okay. Not crazy about it. It's 38:23 okay. Okay, it's good. It's good. Let's 38:25 we Let's We got to go create something 38:27 remarkable. Like the seed here is really 38:30 good. So, let's go change this 38:31 bittersweet folk pop ballad. 38:35 I'm going to say with 38:38 um hints of 38:42 carnival music. We're not going to put 38:45 the story in here. Music. 38:53 soft acoustic, ambient shimmer, tender 38:55 vocals, nostalgic 38:58 yet full of unspoken hope. Um, the song 39:06 starts 39:08 sweetly 39:10 and builds 39:18 with drama and joy. 39:23 Boom. Oh, and I want to do another 39:25 version. 39:27 So, there's two of those going. I want 39:29 to pull down the weirdness 39:33 and I want to increase the style 39:34 influence. We're going to flip those two 39:37 and we're going to create those. Okay, 39:40 here we go. Lannis Moriceet. It's got a 39:42 little of that in there. Electro Synth. 39:45 Can someone drop the genre info he's 39:48 using? So, the genre info that I wrote, 39:50 I'll put it uh I'll I'll drop it in 39:53 YouTube and then um 39:58 and then if someone could dump that over 40:00 to TikTok, that would be great. There's 40:02 YouTube. 40:04 Um there you go. That's the That's the 40:07 prompt. All right, let's Well, let's see 40:08 how good the prompt Let's see how good 40:10 it is. So, hopefully it keeps a little 40:13 of my original guitar in there. 40:21 [Music] 40:39 The ferris wheels asleep, its arms still 40:42 folded tight. We walk between 40:51 >> that still had some weird uh uh popping 40:54 and audio [ __ ] in it. I wonder if it 40:58 it might be my browser session where 41:01 it's actually not in You know what I'm 41:03 going to do? No, Kyle. What? I'm going 41:06 to download that. 41:10 I'm going to download that MP3 and see 41:12 if it's still got the artifacts in it. 41:13 It might be my browser because I haven't 41:15 restarted my browser in a while. 41:24 >> Oh, it's Oh, well. 41:28 The ferris wheels asleep, it arms still 41:31 folded tight. We walk between the 41:34 shadows and the strings of halfway. The 41:38 popcorn stands a dreaming of the 41:40 laughter they'll be fed in your 41:42 reflection in a puddle's turning pink 41:45 instead of red. 41:48 You can just imagine this video, right? 41:50 Like two like two young little sweet, 41:53 you know, like teens or early 20s 41:56 walking, you know, walking down like a 41:59 dirt road carnival. People are getting 42:02 ready in the background. Lights are 42:04 coming on here and there. There's lights 42:06 in the puddles. 42:10 You say it's strange to see it empty. 42:14 I say it's strange to feel this calm. 42:19 You smile like you know something I 42:24 don't know. I've already beun. 42:29 Before the lights come on and before the 42:32 crowd arrives. Before we name what this 42:35 could be. Before the day survives, 42:39 we linger in the middle where the maybe 42:42 feels like song. Two hearts not yet 42:45 decided 42:47 before the lights come on. 42:51 [Applause] 42:51 [Music] 42:55 [Applause] 42:57 All right. I I This must be 43:01 Hang on. I just downloaded two two 43:04 things. Let Let me just listen to him 43:05 quick. 43:08 YouTube, you're not going to hear this 43:09 probably. 43:15 [Music] 43:22 The ferris wheels asleep, its arms still 43:25 folded tight. We walk between the 43:28 shadows and the strings of halfway 43:30 light. The popcorn stands a dreaming of 43:34 the laughter. They'll be fed in your 43:36 reflection in a puddle's turning pink 43:39 instead of red. 43:42 You say it's strange. 43:48 >> All right. Um I think it's better. I 43:50 don't know. Okay. Whatever. Okay. Back 43:53 to this. Let's hear the other versions. 43:57 [Music] 44:02 in there. I think we're just going to 44:04 have to accept it. 44:08 [Music] 44:11 >> That was horrible. 44:14 [Music] 44:21 >> The ferris wheels asleep, its arms still 44:24 folded tight. We walk between the 44:27 shadows and the strings of halfway 44:30 light. The popcorn stands a dreaming of 44:33 the laughter they'll be fed in your 44:36 reflection in a puddle's turning pink 44:39 instead of red. You say it's strange to 44:42 see it empty. I say it's strange to feel 44:44 this calm. You smile like you know 44:47 something. I don't know. I've already 44:50 begun. 44:54 Before the lights come on, before the 44:57 crowd arrives, before we name what this 45:00 could be, before the day survives, we 45:04 linger in the middle where the maybe 45:07 feels like song. 45:12 Two hearts not yet decided 45:16 before the lights come on. 45:24 [Music] 45:27 A prize bear in the windows got a rip 45:30 along the seam. You laugh and say he's 45:33 just like me, stitched up from a dream. 45:36 The smell of rain and sawdust makes the 45:39 air taste almost sweet. I count your 45:42 footsteps next to mine. They nearly 45:44 match the bead. You toss a coin, it 45:47 spins between the quiet and the breeze. 45:51 It lands on something fragile, something 45:54 trembling between me. Before the lights 45:58 come on, before the noise begins, before 46:02 the world demands, we choose where all 46:04 this story ends. We're written in the 46:08 margin where the ink's still barely 46:11 strong. 46:13 [Music] 46:15 Two souls half in the promise 46:19 before the lights come on. 46:21 >> All right, we're gonna I think it needs 46:23 to be a little punchier. So, bittersweet 46:26 folk pop, 46:31 rock ballad 46:34 with hints of carnival music. I'm going 46:36 to kill soft acoustic. 46:38 We'll leave ambient shimmer, 46:41 tender vocals, nostalgic yet full of 46:44 unspoken hope. The song starts sweetly 46:46 and builds 46:49 builds, 46:50 let's say, to a joyful 46:54 beat. 46:57 All right. Seeing their children's 46:58 children on the rides while their 47:00 grandparents wearing huge smiles. Kyle, 47:03 seriously, a bit of an Irish low 47:06 with boron and penny whistle. Ah, yeah. 47:09 Okay, this is good. Um, I'm just going 47:11 to add that at the end. A bit of an 47:14 Irish 47:16 lil 47:19 with I don't know what a boron is. Boron 47:22 and penny whistle. Boron 47:26 and penny whistle. 47:29 That's cool. 47:31 I like that. 47:32 I love music nights. I know. This is 47:34 fun, right? I didn't plan on this. Irish 47:36 drum. Oh, yeah. That's good. Uh 47:40 like uh let's see. Um 47:43 poke ball pad with hints of carnival 47:45 music 47:52 and 47:54 an Irish lil with boron. Oh, that's the 47:57 hand drum. 47:59 Got it. Irish drums with boron and penny 48:02 whistle ambient shimmer tender vocals. 48:08 Okay. Okay. This should be good. This 48:11 should give it a little bit of magic. 48:18 This should give it a little bit of 48:19 magic. And hopefully because it's going 48:22 to have a bit more of a drive to it, we 48:25 won't get that clicking and popping 48:27 because I think that's from my original 48:29 my original file introduced that. And 48:33 Brandon's point's a good one. It kind of 48:34 sounds like an old crackly album. 48:38 [Music] 48:47 The ferris wheels asleep, its arms still 48:50 folded tight. We walk between the 48:53 shadows and the strings of half. 48:56 the popcorn. 48:59 [Music] 49:08 >> The ferris wheels asleep, its arms still 49:11 folded tight. We walk between the 49:14 shadows and the strings of halfway 49:16 light. The popcorn stands are dreaming 49:19 of the laughter they'll be fed and your 49:22 reflection in a puddle's turning pink 49:24 instead of red. You say it's strange to 49:28 see it empty. 49:30 I say it's strange to feel this calm. 49:36 You smile like you know 49:40 I don't know. 49:41 [Music] 49:45 >> I don't quite like that one. I want to 49:47 go back. I want to hear that remaster 49:48 one. The cute little remaster. 49:56 [Music] 50:06 The ferris wheels asleep, its arms still 50:09 folded tight. We walk between the 50:12 shadows and the strings of halfway 50:14 light. The popcorn stands are dreaming 50:17 of the laughter they'll be fed and your 50:19 reflection in a puddle's turning pink 50:22 instead of red. 50:25 You say it's strange to see 50:29 [Music] 50:32 this calm. 50:34 You smile. 50:38 >> Can you switch time signatures? I think 50:40 that is in three, isn't it? 50:44 D. 50:46 [Music] 50:53 >> Before the lights come on, before the 50:56 crowd, 50:57 before we name what this could be before 51:00 the day survives, we'll linger in the 51:03 middle where the feels. 51:07 >> I think it is a six. 51:12 The drive is now 44 though it's 51:14 underlying 68. Yeah. 51:17 But how can I change that? That I don't 51:19 know. Have you done that, Corey? Like 51:22 what what would I prompt? Do I do that 51:23 as a as a cover or a remaster and then 51:26 change the time signature? I don't know 51:28 how to do that. If anyone knows how to 51:30 do that, tell me. Um, all right, let's 51:32 go. I changed the prompt here from 51:35 bittersweet folk pop rock to just 51:37 bittersweet folk rock. 51:41 [Music] 51:50 The ferris wheels 51:53 arms folded tight. 51:56 >> Is that in the song? This is what I 51:58 can't figure out. 52:00 [Music] 52:05 >> The ferris wheels asleep. It's arms 52:09 folded tight between 52:12 >> that those cracks are not in the songs. 52:15 They're 52:16 >> they're in the playback. 52:19 [Music] 52:21 >> The popcorn stands are dreaming of the 52:24 laughter they'll be fed and your 52:26 reflection in a puddle's turning pink 52:29 instead of red. 52:33 You say it's strange to see it empty. 52:37 [Music] 52:38 I say it's strange. 52:40 [Music] 52:44 >> Yeah, it's a glitch. There's a glitch in 52:46 it, but like when I replay the same 52:48 section, the glitches are in different 52:50 spots. 52:54 [Music] 52:59 >> You say it's strange to see it empty. 53:03 I say it's strange to feel this calm. 53:08 You smile like you know something 53:12 I don't know I've already begun. 53:16 Before the lights come on before the 53:19 crowd arrives. Before we name what this 53:22 could be before the day surides. 53:26 We linger in the middle where the maybe 53:29 feels like song. Two hearts might get 53:32 decided 53:34 before the lights come on. 53:37 >> Nice. Nice. 53:40 A prize bear in the windows. Got a rip 53:43 along the seam. You laugh and say, 53:47 stitched up from a dream. The smell of 53:50 rain and sawdust makes the air taste 53:53 almost sweet. I count your footsteps 53:56 next to mine. They nearly match the 53:58 beach. 54:00 You toss a coin, it spins between the 54:04 quiet and the breeze. 54:07 It lands on something fragile. Something 54:09 trembling between. 54:13 Before the lights come on, before the 54:16 noise begins, before the world demands, 54:20 we choose where all this story ends. 54:23 We're written in the margin. Where the 54:26 ink still barely strong 54:30 [Music] 54:31 before the lights come on. 54:34 God damn. That's a good song. Those 54:35 lyrics are good, man. Um, okay. So, that 54:38 got a thumbs up. That's pretty good. I 54:40 like the driving thing. I just tried to 54:42 do two more in 68. So, let's hear this 54:44 this other one. That's the indie indie 54:46 rock. 54:53 [Music] 54:56 The ferris wheels asleep. It arms still 54:59 folded tight. 55:01 >> There. You just asked for it, Cy. 55:03 There's your alto. 55:09 >> The popcorn stands are dreaming of the 55:11 laughter. They'll be fed in your 55:14 reflection in her puddles turning pink 55:17 instead of red. 55:21 [Music] 55:23 Suno's got that weird thing where it 55:24 just it does that weird sort of octave. 55:30 It does that in a lot of songs. It's 55:31 weird. It's very It's very kind of a 55:34 telltale sign of a sunos. 55:37 >> Let's try these other ones. These are 55:39 the ones I prompted in 68. We'll see if 55:40 they're in 68. 55:42 [Music] 55:52 The ferris wheels asleep, its arms still 55:55 folded tight. We walk between 55:59 the strings of halfway. 56:01 The popcorn stands 56:05 fed. 56:09 [Music] 56:18 The ferris wheels asleep, its arms still 56:22 folded tight. We walk between the 56:25 shadows and the strings of halfway 56:27 light. The popcorn stands a dreaming of 56:30 the laughter they'll be fed in your 56:33 reflection in a puddle turning pink 56:36 instead of red. 56:40 You say it's strange to see it empty. I 56:45 say it's strange to feel this come. 56:50 You smile like you know something. 56:55 I don't know. I've already begun. 56:59 Before the lights come on. Before the 57:02 crowd arrives. Before we name what this 57:06 could be. 57:14 I think I'm killing the soul of this 57:16 thing. I'm going to pull out the 57:17 bittersweet. 57:21 Like, I feel like the earlier versions 57:24 that were more simple 57:28 are really what this song's about, but I 57:31 think it's worth exploring. 57:35 [Music] 57:44 The ferris wheels asleep, its arms still 57:47 folded tight. We walk between the 57:49 shadows and the strings of halfway 57:52 light. The popcorn stands are dreaming 57:55 of the laughter. They'll be fed in your 57:57 reflection. And a puddle's turning pink 58:00 instead of red. You say it's strange to 58:04 see it empty. 58:06 I say it's strange to feel this. 58:10 >> You know what the thing is? The lyrics. 58:13 It's strange to see it empty when 58:15 there's a bunch of instruments 58:17 underneath that. It doesn't have that 58:19 same kind of haunting feeling of it 58:21 being empty. It feels not empty. 58:24 So, I think we've got to I think we have 58:27 to re 58:37 The ferris wheels asleep, its arms still 58:40 folded tight. We walk between the 58:43 shadows and the strings of halfway 58:45 light. The popcorn stands are dreaming 58:48 of the laughter. They'll be fed in your 58:50 reflection in a puddles turning pink 58:53 instead of red. You say it's strange to 58:56 see it empty. 58:59 I say it's strange to feel this calm. 59:04 You smile like you know something I 59:08 don't know. I've already begun. 59:13 Before the lights come on. Before the 59:16 crowd arrives. Before we name what this 59:19 could be. Before the day survives. We 59:23 linger in the middle. Where the navy 59:26 feels like song. Two hearts not yet. 59:31 >> All right, I'm gonna try that. Corey, 59:33 cello and acoustic guitar could work 59:34 good with this. Yeah, now this is just a 59:36 Disney song. Yeah, I agree. 59:38 Yeah, we're we're uh we're bleeding the 59:41 life out of it. But, you know, this is 59:43 like the cool thing is we have all the 59:45 previous versions so we can go back. 59:48 This is so you know if you wonder like 59:51 I'm working on this musical 59:54 Sydney and we've written a you know a a 59:58 fair amount of the songs have been 1:00:00 written in some version of this where 1:00:03 but the difference in a musical is we 1:00:05 know we know exactly the emotion that we 1:00:08 want for a particular scene 1:00:10 and it's a lot of it's a lot of just 1:00:14 cranking through dozens and dozens and 1:00:17 dozens thousands of these until you get 1:00:18 something that's close and then you kind 1:00:19 of circle around the drain for a while. 1:00:21 It take it it's it's a bizarre process. 1:00:25 Um, 1:00:27 but it's like I you know I kind of feel 1:00:29 like 1:00:31 the people that say that this isn't a 1:00:33 creative process haven't done it 1:00:36 right. Like it's like this is a weird 1:00:39 song. Like I didn't write the lyrics. I 1:00:41 wrote the little guitar lick, but that's 1:00:44 not writing a song. 1:00:46 But that first thing that we got out of 1:00:48 it was really kind of magical, right? 1:00:51 And so it's like, can you make it better 1:00:53 without losing the magic? And that's 1:00:55 that's part of the art. And maybe maybe 1:00:58 not. Maybe you don't end up with 1:00:59 anything usable out of this. 1:01:04 [Music] 1:01:07 [Applause] 1:01:13 The ferris wheels asleep, its arms still 1:01:16 folded tight. We walk between the 1:01:19 shadows and the strings of halfway 1:01:21 light. The popcorn stands are dreaming 1:01:24 of the laughter they'll be fed. Your 1:01:27 reflection in a puddle's turning pink 1:01:29 instead of red.

Wait, before we play the 1:32:43 song, um, 1:32:46 coming up with concepts, premises for a 1:32:48 novel 1:32:53 here would here would be a fun thing to 1:32:54 do. So, one of the things that um, Chat 1:32:58 GPT is really good at is sifting through 1:33:02 a bunch of sort of idea vomit. So, what 1:33:06 I would say is 1:33:08 um 1:33:10 put chat GPT into conversation mode 1:33:13 where you're talking to it and tell it 1:33:16 you want to come up with premises for a 1:33:18 novel and then just literally 1:33:21 ju and just tell it I'm going to I'm 1:33:23 going to just share a whole bunch of 1:33:25 unrelated ideas and just say, you know, 1:33:29 here's a story from when I was a kid. 1:33:31 Here was a dream I had once. Here's a 1:33:34 dumb idea I had for a thing once. Here's 1:33:37 the kinds of things I like. Here's the 1:33:38 kinds of things I don't like. Literally 1:33:41 just let your brain 1:33:44 like not not 1:33:47 take anything seriously. Just get it as 1:33:50 much out of your head as you can. Your 1:33:52 opinion, stories you've got, things like 1:33:55 that. When you get a bunch of that stuff 1:33:57 out, say, "Okay, I've said enough. Now, 1:34:00 what I want you to do first is I want 1:34:01 you to organize my thoughts into themes 1:34:05 or or or a framework or something like 1:34:08 that. Just give it some sort of 1:34:11 direction to organize your thoughts. 1:34:14 And then once it's organized your 1:34:16 thoughts, then say something like, 1:34:20 you know, if I want to turn, you know, 1:34:22 something in these thoughts into a 1:34:24 novel, 1:34:26 what do you think are the five bit best 1:34:29 ideas in my, you know, scattershot of 1:34:32 thoughts that could that could evolve 1:34:35 into a novel concept 1:34:38 and then let it come up with that and 1:34:40 and look at what it comes up with. And 1:34:42 then if you don't like any of them, tell 1:34:44 it why you don't like it, you know, tell 1:34:47 it, "Nope, I don't like any of those, 1:34:48 and here's why." 1:34:51 And then and then tell it to give you 10 1:34:53 more. And then and then you'll you'll 1:34:57 probably within 15 minutes, you'll end 1:34:59 up with three or four concepts you'll be 1:35:01 really excited about. And then I would 1:35:03 take each one of those and and run them 1:35:06 down their own sort of chat GPT 1:35:09 brainstorming session. 1:35:12 And then, you know, one or two of them 1:35:14 will probably hit dead ends, but 1:35:16 there'll be one that like as you run 1:35:18 down the brainstorming session, it'll 1:35:19 completely open up. So, that that would 1:35:22 be a fun way to do it because you don't 1:35:24 want to just ask it to give you concepts 1:35:26 that are not related to you, right? This 1:35:28 is a novel. So, if you're going to be 1:35:29 spending 30 days writing, you know, 1:35:33 getting the [ __ ] out of your soul, 1:35:37 then have it be come from your soul. So, 1:35:39 have it be about you. So just, you know, 1:35:42 put no judgment on any ideas and and 1:35:44 they don't have to be related at all. 1:35:46 Just vomit them into the machine and 1:35:48 then watch how it organizes them and 1:35:50 then just turn that into concepts. I 1:35:52 think that'll be good. Claude Sonnet had 1:35:54 been telling me off for procrastinating 1:35:57 and not writing anything. That's 1:35:58 hilarious. Great idea. I do that with 1:36:00 chat GPT to write poems, 1:36:03 then combine poems in Sunno and have 1:36:05 them create the song. Yeah, that's 1:36:06 great. That's awesome. 1:36:09 All right. So, here's our video that 1:36:10 we're going to try to upload to um uh to 1:36:14 to Twitter, which should be comical. 1:36:18 [Music] 1:36:27 The ferris wheels asleep, its arms still 1:36:30 folded tight. We walk between the 1:36:33 shadows and the strings of halfway 1:36:36 light. The popcorn stands are dreaming 1:36:39 of the laughter they'll be fed and your 1:36:42 reflection in a puddle's turning pink 1:36:45 instead of red. 1:36:51 You say it's strange to see it empty. 1:36:55 I say it's strange to feel this calm. 1:37:01 You smile like you know something I 1:37:05 don't know. I've already begun. 1:37:10 Before the lights come on, before the 1:37:13 crowd arrives, before 1:37:19 [Music] 1:37:21 >> Good question from El Diablo Blanco. Um, 1:37:26 I've seen subscription sites advertised 1:37:29 with all different AI programs. Do you 1:37:31 recommend any of these? 1:37:33 Um, 1:37:35 I I I I'm a mixed bag on them. 1:37:40 It is absolutely a pain in the balls 1:37:45 to have multiple subscriptions and try 1:37:48 to keep up with all the different models 1:37:49 and blah blah blah blah blah. So, there 1:37:52 is something very seductive about having 1:37:54 a single interface where you can have 1:37:56 access to all the models. Um, one of the 1:37:59 old school ones, you know, like three 1:38:02 years old, but but one of the ones that 1:38:04 people seem to like a lot is Poe Poe. 1:38:07 Um, it's really good. There's there's a 1:38:10 bunch of them right now that are just 1:38:11 kind of thrown together sites where 1:38:13 they're they're literally just throwing 1:38:16 APIs into a single chat interface and 1:38:18 then they charge 2030 bucks a month. Um, 1:38:21 PO's been around long enough that it's 1:38:23 pretty good. Um, it also depends like 1:38:26 what PO has is large language models, 1:38:30 image models. I think it might have 1:38:32 audio models and it's got video models, 1:38:35 too. Um, so there's there's things like 1:38:38 PO that have lots of different models in 1:38:41 them. And then there's ones that are 1:38:43 more creative specific like um like 1:38:46 Leonardo's one of them, Korea is one of 1:38:49 them that have lots of different models 1:38:53 you can choose from, but they're just 1:38:54 for like video or they're just for 1:38:56 images or images and video things like 1:38:58 that. Um here's the downside to them 1:39:03 for something like chat GPT. It's not 1:39:06 just the chat GPT5 API that you want 1:39:09 access to. like chat GPT itself is like 1:39:12 25 different tools and so if you're in 1:39:16 someone else's environment just using 1:39:19 the chat GPT API you're using some small 1:39:23 percentage of what's there so you end up 1:39:25 not learning 1:39:27 what the core model site actually is 1:39:30 like like 1:39:32 what I would say is if you want to play 1:39:34 with lots of different models what might 1:39:36 make sense is do a subscription to 1:39:39 something like PO where you can POE 1:39:41 where you can do lots of different 1:39:43 models but then I would also do a 1:39:45 subscription to chat GPT 1:39:47 just so you can experience all the stuff 1:39:50 it offers and like really dig deep on a 1:39:52 single model 1:39:54 because it's just a different 1:39:55 experience. So that that's that's my two 1:39:58 cents on that. Um I find those things 1:40:01 distracting and confusing and often not 1:40:04 really adding value. Um, you know, 1:40:07 there's lots of open- source ones, too. 1:40:09 I don't know. I don't know. I I could 1:40:13 spend if chat GPT stopped right now, I 1:40:16 could spend the next three to five years 1:40:18 not even scratching the surface of it. 1:40:20 It's It's that deep. There's so much 1:40:22 going on there. 1:40:24 Um, imagine.art. I just found that 1:40:26 because but so expensive. I'm still 1:40:30 wavering on spending on a video model. I 1:40:33 listen, Corey. I'm I'm right there with 1:40:35 the the video models right now are all 1:40:38 so expensive. They really are. They're 1:40:40 like like like uh the new Sunno in the 1:40:44 API is is 10 cents a second, which means 1:40:47 a 10-second video is a dollar. Do you 1:40:50 know how many [ __ ] videos you have to 1:40:52 make to get the videos to not suck, to 1:40:54 be usable in some form? Like if you 1:40:57 wanted to do a video of this 1:41:01 music video, it's three minutes and 28 1:41:04 seconds long and it's, you know, th 1:41:06 those things are generating 5-second 1:41:08 clips. So So you're going to probably 1:41:11 have to do a hundred different clips to 1:41:15 get enough video to do this. Well, if 1:41:17 you're doing that in Sunno, that's a 1:41:19 $100. Now, if you compare that to what 1:41:22 it would take to go out and film on set, 1:41:25 it's really cheap. But if you're just 1:41:27 [ __ ] around with AI, a hundred bucks 1:41:30 is ridiculous. Not wait, Sora. Yes, 1:41:34 sorry. Sorao is the song maker. Sora is 1:41:38 the one I was talking about. It's 10 10 1:41:39 cents a second for Sora, too. Um, that's 1:41:43 just expensive. There's there's other 1:41:44 ones that are cheaper, but good lord. So 1:41:48 if you really want to experiment with 1:41:50 video, what might actually make sense is 1:41:53 spin up an instance of like Google 1:41:55 Collab 1:41:57 where you have a a virtual machine in 1:41:59 the cloud and run some open- source 1:42:01 models like set up some GPUs in the 1:42:03 cloud. I assume that would be 1:42:05 significantly cheaper, but I don't know. 1:42:06 But then you got to then you got to 1:42:08 [ __ ] set up a you know a virtual 1:42:10 machine and go research all the open 1:42:12 source video models. So, just the the 1:42:15 other here's the other thing I would 1:42:17 say. If you're just exhausted by not 1:42:19 knowing what the [ __ ] to do with video, 1:42:22 give it a year, 1:42:24 right? Because we're just now we're just 1:42:27 now getting to the point where the 1:42:29 physics in these models are good enough 1:42:33 that you you can get mostly usable 1:42:36 videos most of the time. A year from 1:42:40 now, they're going to be rock solid and 1:42:42 there's going to be a bunch of really 1:42:43 cheap ones that are just fine. 1:42:46 Tik Tok voc users salon. Okay. Um, 1:42:52 videos frustrate me. They frustrate me 1:42:54 too, Silver Fox because I'll tell you 1:42:57 when when videos don't um frustrate me 1:43:01 like the song that I did 1:43:04 um 1:43:06 to Kill You for a Dollar. Let me show 1:43:08 you this video and then I'll I'll tell 1:43:10 you why it didn't drive me as crazy. 1:43:15 Um, where am I going? 1:43:21 Am I sharing? I'm not sharing right. 1:43:24 Hang on. 1:43:36 Here 1:43:48 we go. 1:43:55 Am I sharing? Oh, no. Not 1:44:03 okay. 1:44:19 [Music] 1:44:35 to kill you for a dollar. 1:44:40 Desperate 1:44:42 for an end 1:44:46 to this monotony monotony. 1:44:49 [Applause] 1:44:53 You look like a warm one. Your future 1:44:56 all set. Let me lick your pockets. I'll 1:45:00 take what I can get. I don't need your 1:45:03 kindness, your contact, your jokes, or 1:45:06 your pitiful love. Do you have any 1:45:09 smokes? 1:45:11 Can't go back to Kansas or three channel 1:45:14 TV. You know what's coming in. Your 1:45:17 future is me. The rats control the sewer 1:45:21 pipe. And in this waste they multiply 1:45:25 and feed upon their young. 1:45:28 And here 1:45:30 they flock. 1:45:32 They strain. 1:45:35 They push to be 1:45:39 much more 1:45:41 than they can be. 1:45:43 [Music] 1:45:47 Eyes like sharks. 1:45:51 They lack 1:45:53 the light 1:45:55 to look upon 1:45:59 their destiny. 1:46:04 [Music] 1:46:05 to kill you for a dollar. 1:46:10 [Music] 1:46:14 Flicker and static feel chill to the 1:46:17 bone. This is the channel that leads you 1:46:21 back home. A dollar buys you power. A 1:46:25 dollar buys regret. A dollar buys a 1:46:28 silence your conscience won't forget to 1:46:32 kill you for a dollar. 1:46:39 [Music] 1:46:40 To kill you for a dollar for a dollar 1:46:44 for a dollar. 1:46:47 So, the reason that wouldn't didn't 1:46:49 drive me that crazy is because 1:46:53 I basically just found a style in 1:46:55 midjourney that I liked and I just 1:46:58 wanted 1:47:00 like video snippets and sort of images 1:47:04 as if they were filmed in the late 80s 1:47:07 in New York City in Spanish Harlem, 1:47:09 which is where that song what that what 1:47:10 that song's about, being an artist in 1:47:12 New York City during the crack epidemic 1:47:16 And 1:47:17 so it just had to be like a wash of 1:47:20 reality and a wash of emotion and it was 1:47:24 kind of like I I tried to to semi, you 1:47:28 know, include images that went with the 1:47:30 lyrics, but I didn't really think about 1:47:32 it that much. So if you're doing 1:47:34 something like that, the video stuff's 1:47:36 brilliant. Like that like emotionally 1:47:39 that captures what it felt like back 1:47:42 then to me, right? It's like that's what 1:47:44 it felt like. Um, 1:47:48 but the minute you start to get into, 1:47:52 you know, I want to have someone sitting 1:47:53 here and at this line I want to have 1:47:55 them look over here and then I want a 1:47:56 ball to come into the scene. The minute 1:47:58 you try to do any kind of actual 1:48:01 storyboarding, holy [ __ ] [ __ ] it's a 1:48:04 disaster. 1:48:06 Um, 1:48:09 the sound comes in better here, but the 1:48:11 picture comes in better on X. That's 1:48:13 hilarious. Okay, so the the video clips 1:48:16 are midjourney video. Yes. What 1:48:21 what plan includes? So So Corey, um 1:48:26 the 1:48:28 $60 plan? You can get videos in the $30 1:48:33 plan, but there's so few of them that 1:48:36 it's just not worth it. So, if you want 1:48:39 to actually do videos in midjourney, 1:48:41 it's the $60 plan. Um, and it gives you 1:48:44 a fair amount. Like, I don't I don't 1:48:47 think I have any fast hours left. 1:48:50 You need the pro plan. Yeah, you do. But 1:48:52 it's it's really good. Like, so so 1:48:56 there's there's two things. If you want 1:49:00 if you want audio generated for your 1:49:02 clips, then you need to use something 1:49:05 like V3 or Sora 2. 1:49:09 But if you just want So Corey Sandler, I 1:49:12 feel like for you, how does it compare 1:49:14 to say cling? 1:49:17 I think that the 1:49:22 similar to the the image fidelity in 1:49:25 midjourney where the the images are just 1:49:27 on a different plane artistically. 1:49:30 I feel like the video is similarly on a 1:49:33 different plane artistically 1:49:35 like midjourney just look I it's hard to 1:49:38 describe what midjourney seems to do is 1:49:41 actually understand the artistic intent 1:49:43 of the image if that makes any sense. 1:49:46 So, if you've got a really flat image 1:49:48 that's like, you know, sketched shapes 1:49:51 and sketched drawings, it'll kind of 1:49:53 recognize it as a 2D plane and then any 1:49:56 animation it does stays in this 2D 1:49:58 plane. But if you've got something if 1:50:00 you've got an image that has kind of 1:50:02 depth to it or like sometimes an image 1:50:04 will feel kind of 3D, Midjourney seems 1:50:07 to catch that really good and turn 1:50:10 things appropriately 3D and like it's 1:50:13 just I don't know, it's just a really 1:50:14 smart model visually. Um, but it doesn't 1:50:18 generate sound. So, if you want to do 1:50:19 dialogue and all that sort of stuff, you 1:50:21 have to throw that into like Hedra or or 1:50:23 Runway, uh, whatever the [ __ ] their 1:50:26 their, you know, voiceover thing is. Um, 1:50:30 anyway, um, I think it's quite 1:50:32 beautiful. You've never used it. Let me 1:50:33 go, let me pop over to MidJourney. I'll 1:50:36 show it to you, but I don't think I have 1:50:37 enough I don't think I have any fast 1:50:39 credit, so I don't think I can make a 1:50:41 video right now. 1:50:43 Um, 1:50:45 mid journey mid journey. Mid joiny mid 1:50:49 johny mid johny. 1:50:52 All right. 1:50:56 So here I am in a mid joiny and the way 1:51:00 it works is you can basically take any 1:51:04 image like here's a cool image 1:51:08 and then down here in the lower right 1:51:10 it's just animate image low motion high 1:51:13 motion. 1:51:15 Um, you can you can do it as a loop so 1:51:18 so that it ends where it began or you 1:51:20 can do it as a regular 1:51:23 um thing. If I hit low motion, it's 1:51:25 probably going to error me out. 1:51:28 Submitting. Oh, no, it didn't. 1:51:34 I'm in I'm in relaxed mode. 1:51:37 Well, it'll it'll take a while, but 1:51:39 that's it. Like it is. And it you get 1:51:41 four videos for every every time you hit 1:51:44 the button. It's really really good. 1:51:47 You've never even used it for images, 1:51:50 Corey. Oh my god. You're You will love 1:51:52 MidJourney. It's insane. It's so good. 1:51:56 Um here, let me show you, Corey. Let me 1:51:58 show you a couple of things. 1:52:01 Um 1:52:04 I don't even know where to begin. So 1:52:06 there's a thing called mood boards. So, 1:52:08 if you've got existing images or 1:52:10 photographs, Corey, or even like your 1:52:12 your pottery, just shapes that you use 1:52:14 to inspire your pottery, you can create 1:52:17 mood boards. Like this is a mood board 1:52:18 that I made of, um, photography that I 1:52:22 did, uh, sky photographs that I made 1:52:24 over the years. Um, and so I can choose 1:52:28 this mood board and then I'll get images 1:52:30 that have skies in them that look like 1:52:33 stuff that I that I shot. It's it's it's 1:52:35 insane. And then you can mix mood 1:52:37 boards. Um, so let me see. Let me go 1:52:40 back here. So I can go let me let me do 1:52:43 I'll put in one of those sky ones. 1:52:46 Let's see. Yeah. So, so it popped 1:52:50 it popped the uh the code right there. 1:52:54 And then let me do I'll do this sign 1:52:57 one. This is this is another set of 1:53:00 photographs I did of like these street 1:53:02 signs on Kfax Avenue here in Denver. 1:53:06 And so 1:53:08 I'll add that one in there. 1:53:12 So now I've got two different mood 1:53:14 boards sitting up in the prompt. 1:53:17 And so I'll just type in a prompt. I'll 1:53:19 say like um cowboy walking 1:53:24 down the street 1:53:28 as cars 1:53:31 pass 1:53:33 him by. 1:53:35 at golden hour 1:53:42 and then we'll see how it does. 1:53:46 That video is going to take forever. 1:53:51 But these these images may show up at 1:53:54 some point. We'll come back to them. Um 1:53:59 let me let me show you some other 1:54:02 like here. These are a bunch of the 1:54:04 videos I did for To Kill You for a 1:54:06 Dollar. 1:54:20 [Music] 1:54:22 I And that video I I did so many videos 1:54:25 it blew out my subscription. 1:54:27 I blew up my subscription like three 1:54:29 days into the month this month and I 1:54:32 just I'm I'm like I'm like [ __ ] it if if 1:54:36 you know if they're not going to do it. 1:54:37 Like look at the the quality of the 1:54:39 images in Mid Journey is just insane. Oh 1:54:41 Corey, let me show you another thing. 1:54:43 So, so just like you have mood boards, 1:54:46 if you go to the explore tab, so in the 1:54:48 upper leftand corner here, 1:54:53 um 1:54:54 over here to the right, there's three 1:54:57 different things. There's images, 1:54:58 videos, and styles. So, if you go to 1:55:00 images, these are just images that 1:55:02 people have made. But if you go to 1:55:04 styles, these are all now um 1:55:08 style references that you can create 1:55:11 images in those styles. So let me see 1:55:14 what my last prompt was. My last prompt 1:55:17 was 1:55:23 cowboy walking down the street. Okay, so 1:55:25 there's there's my cowboys. We'll look 1:55:27 at that in a second. But if I go back 1:55:29 here and you say try this style, it 1:55:32 takes whatever your last prompt was and 1:55:35 it does it in this new style. 1:55:38 So 1:55:40 let me try 1:55:42 that one. And then you can also search 1:55:45 for these. You can search for like um 1:55:48 drama 1:55:50 and then now here's a bunch of dramat 1:55:52 dramatic styles. So, let me find 1:55:55 something here that looks cool and 1:55:57 dramatic and would look cool with a 1:55:58 cowboy. Uh, this one. So, I'll try that 1:56:02 style. And so, now if I come back here, 1:56:05 now it's creating four new images of 1:56:09 each of those styles. It's really slick. 1:56:11 But here's, 1:56:15 you know, here's the thing based on like 1:56:17 this is absolutely kind of those are 1:56:19 absolutely my skies, you know, similar 1:56:22 to my skies and has the sort of color 1:56:24 grading of of the images I make. 1:56:29 You know, they're kind of weird and 1:56:30 overly processed, 1:56:33 which I just kind of dig. So, 1:56:37 it's it's just it's just really good at 1:56:39 understanding images. Really good. 1:56:46 All right, I got to get out of here, 1:56:48 people. 1:56:50 I hope that was helpful for everybody. 1:56:52 There's Ann Murphy in the house.
