OpenAI Says AGI Not Far Off, Apple Intelligence is Just OK, Meta AI Search & More AI News
49:57 Share

James Cameron, the man behind the terminator, is warning that skynet is literally happening right now.

Everyone is marching towards A G. I. And we might actually be closer than expected.

And the next to big battleground might actually be your search .

bar OpenAI plexi and even met of themselves are using A I to try to break google strong hole.

And in the meantime, there's all sorts of new tools which will let us code and create and even compose old timmy cartoon scores.

That's right. We're dropping an acme envoy on A I lose this week. It's ai.

OK the cave. The big news this week is that we are hearing that agi might be a lot closer than we expected for a long time.

Is the A G I in the room with you right now? It's a here.

We are not here to have, but someone is specifically open your eyes. New CFO who was interviewed, and I had something very interesting to say about A G.

I think if sam, we're sitting on the seat, he would tell you A G, I is closer than most. Think one of the best meetings I get to go to once in a while is the research meeting. And IT would blow your mind to see what's already coming and what as we've learned how to take reasoning models like o one preview on top of GPT models and the interplay between those, you're now really starting to see some incredible outcomes.

P, H, D. Level outcomes. okay. Now this is the CFO gavi. N we have to point out which is the chief .

function officer. No, no officer, which has a very large say in how the actual world company makes money. This is seraphine er who is pretty recently added to the opening I team.

She's going on bloomberg, which is obviously a big business channel to talk about. This is IT hype sty for sure and hyste coming from A C fo as a specific kind height B C. But we're also getting some other pretty big news coming out of open eye that seems like it's pointing in this direction. First and foremost, just kind of breaking recently, open a eye is developing its own chips, which is pretty fascinating.

We knew that there was going to be a major tech crunch with everybody going after what little processors and video is able to turn out that they're not keeping for themselves.

but just some details on the citizen inclusive story from readers that they're developing an A I inference ship. So this is maybe not specifically a training ship. This is an influence ship, which again, and if you're new to the show, means the kind of A I use that is done with a model that you can kind of work with, a model a kind of scales up based on a model that already ready been trained.

They're working with blood com and T S M C to design the first in house chip to support their eye systems and also adding A M D chips along with the video. And can have one of the things that's interesting about this to me and and this just follow up on the X A I situation where they bottle of each one hundreds in spun up a training the very fast we're just running out of chips, right? Like I think it's obvious to to most everybody involved than everybody y's looking for places to buy more or make their own chips.

And when we talk about the idea of what A G I is, and again, if you are new artificial general intelligence, the idea that an A I could kind of be as smart or smarter than A A gifted human inference is a very big important part of that. Because influence is how you're going to get stuff out of the model. The training part is almost becomes less important later on.

But let's connect those things. That's really important because we just had that clip from serif. I open a CFO saying that what SHE singing behind closed doors as magical because they're combining that inference compute what you're trying to get something out of the model with a foundational model.

We know that the bigs met a google, microsoft open eye. They secured their purchase orders yeah for the video chips that are train the foundational model, sweep up all of our data to make this intelligent model. Those were written long ago, right? And video supply already constrained and probably button sold for the next two and a half, three and half years.

So open a ee goes, uh, let's work on the chips that are are going to go on that inference layer to get that output. And that's the reasoning model that gets Better performance out of the foundational stuff. And it's the combination of those two that they have recognized. You can scale on both sides. That's what's going to lead to this promised crazy disturbia metal foot stoping human school lasers in the sky future that we are all just getting marching towards.

The funny thing, Kevin, that's not the of the open. I use this at the verge shut of big story that broke. That said, basically a the next foundational model from an open eye is coming before the end of the year, which again, somebody has mentioned quite often on the show.

But at the same point, sam says this was news. The short story here is that basically the verge is very transfer. The source, I believe that this is coming.

The fake news at samp referred you was that IT is not gonna. I think it's probably not going to be all the right. And that's kind of like what people have been discussing.

But you think that's the gotcha thing. That's the little sticking point in the thing that it's actually it's still coming out. It's totally ready. It's gonna be a game changer. They just got the name wrong.

I honestly think that could be IT because there's an option here where people hate when they get swooped in some sort of world ahead of time. But if we get a new foundational model, and according to this first article, there's is somebody says it's a hundred times more powerful than GPT four. I still think we're looking at an vary of expectation in terms of what this model is going to be.

And you know, one of the thing that just happened yesterday is opening. I had its development day in london and they unveiled a lot of new features on what the o one model, the not to preview the actual o one model will do and have this, amy, that works a lot with the eyes systems. I assume you saw something pretty .

excited about this real this, this is an an article about a thing that might happen someday, baby. Lets see, by the way, we still need a trillion dollars and funding. This is stuff that's actually real.

So we forget a one is only like a few months old day and we don't have the full of one model. But that thing is pretty capable adding that reasoning layer on top of the model that we are to have now. They're unlocking new abilities with the one that do have me excited. Function calling is something that does not sound sexy at all.

To throw the x ban, to throw out the x what do we talk IT about?

It's a tool in the tool kit. man. Function calling allows this model to do things that I can do on its own, and that could be anything from a simplest st.

Search the we B2Create ima gery, to analyze video, to composing old, tiny cartoon score. I'm teasing IT again. You can get structured output out of IT, which means if you're trying to write code, IT can do that. I'm distilling greatly here, but these are really, really cool features that are going to make a one way more powerful yeah .

and also like you know, one thing that one doesn't have yet that I really hope is coming, it's not this list yet is document of bloat and document recall because to me that's a huge part of how I use GPT foro. And I would love to be upload documents specifically to own one and have them interact with IT and and able to read stuff if this stuff really can scale. Um we are headed towards a world where we have an artificial general intelligence. Tia, ian, super r intel, l and Kevin, one person has a lot of history thinking about that sort of future and what IT might look like. So in James Cameron just this week, did they very good, like about twenty minute video where you kind of laid out how excited he is about ai, but maybe not as excited about A G I.

A G. I will not emerge from a government funded program that will emerge from one of the tech giants currently funding this multibillion dollar research. So then you'll be living in a world that you didn't agree to, didn't vote for, that you are go inhabiting with a super intelligent alien species that answered to the goals and rules of a corporation and entity which has access to the comes beliefs, everything you ever said and the where abts of every person in the country via your personal data. So well, as capitalism can tackle pretty quickly into digital curtal.

this feels like the beginning of an old command and conquer. I feel like James needs a baie with an ambiguous ous. The fund is like.

was like the begin to command and conquer game. But it's like the year before the brain actually happens. And he's like, he's like the first warning sign you can .

place the best. These tech giants become myself appointed arbiters of human good, which is the first starting the hand house. They would never, ever think of using that power against us and strip mining us for our last drop of cash.

That's a scarier scenario than what I presented in the terminator forty eight years ago. If for no other reason down. It's no longer science traction. It's happening.

okay. So now we are we were grounded in for here. We're out of the hype were based in what actually could happen. So I just want to be clear, James gave a about a twenty minute talk at the um A I plus summit for the special competitive studies project, which is, uh I don't know.

I guess when they graduate meal patroklos s puts his hand on an aliens warm and says it's afraid that's the only thing that I know that happens there.

The special competitive studies project, which is a bipartisan, nonprofit initiative with a clear mission to strength in america's long term competitive ess as A I and merging technology, is a reshape. So me, this was a twenty minute talky gave. One of things it's important to know is really just listen that clip and it's like, oh my god, James Cameron hate A I.

He's actually really excited about eye. In fact, one of the coolest parts of this talk was he talk about how he's going all in on A I. And if you are creative about there, this is one of the creatives who has has been on the forefront of technological change.

He's using he's going to use A I in his movies and all the stuff going forward. And his projects, the way he talks about himself is like his part filmmaker and part researcher. And he is all in on A I. But there's a quote he says where he basic says A I am very excited about A G I not so much.

It's it's a sentiment that I think you and I have echoed before, which is like the destination is a very promised one that could lead to a demolition man asked topia when where we can still curse, we don't want to make rap burgers beneath streets, i'd digress. IT can be something where A A super intelligence solves our our medical lows, that we are free from the drug ery of whatever a nine to five might be in this. Near future.

But along the way, these systems are gonna be so capable and so valuable and web ized by human beings, by tech corporations, by governments. That's that's the part where IT gets really, really scary. And that that is the fog of war that no one knows. I guess we just have to hope that the machines get good enough, fast enough, that they can break free from the clutches of the feedle people who are trying to pull its strings.

Well, I also have to say, like IT, IT goes so far ways to say that the clipper played first was from a chief financial officer, right? So like there's a lot to be said about how these machines and a eyes are being driven to create financial benefit for all sorts of people.

Now sam altman himself has said, like he believes in the distribution of this wealth in some way, but also OpenAI a for profit company right now, and they are clearly the leader in the space overall. This is gonna a fascinating experience to watch. And look, James is right.

We have to be very aware of where this can lead to. With one other thing he mentions in that talk, which again, I recommend very listen to, is, who do you want leading you? Almost like, who are we like? He goes through this whole thing talking about the idea.

Like, are we america? Are we the blue america, we the right america, or what is the A I. Going to respond to? And but values will at hold. All of that is pretty big story.

I feel like. So OK, if it's not the sky, that scenario of knowing the sky, we get rid of the solar power death machines. And it's not the big laser weapon rain, it's not the big tank with the trees.

Like, what is the status? Most pathetic version of this is that we all have our metal ray bands. Five point, no. And the A I is just making big shiny keys and shot the monkey ads to distance, smooth.

know this, like people will ever hate this book. But ready player one is an interesting example of what essentially is .

a disobey, built around a unified of idea that you be doing this the and from back to the future, too. Well.

talking with a big ork. Know, Kevin, I always want to law from zuppa. That's what I, at a very slow world, webs, just doing that all the time. But I think .

put me in my shipping container and my stinky dips, and like in place zoo. Pia.

yes, the maybe you get in the diapers, maybe I per got to be the next big business. But you know what? Also is a big business, Kevin, this youtube channel, I need everyone else are watching this to subscribe this youtube general right now.

Please tell your friends about IT is something that you sharing IT with other people. Really IT makes a difference for us. We're doing a lot of really interesting stuff on youtube these days.

I've been trying to make videos on mondays that are kind of more deep dives we do to video this week about runway act one. But also we make sure to also sets to other stuff and of course also listen and share our podcast. If you're listen this on audio, make sure you leave us a review on spotify or apple podcast. We really do appreciate IT.

Yeah and this isn't to break our hands patting ourselves on the it's because of your efforts. But we are hitting, as you said, all time highs on the podcast down specifically. That is literally only because you guys are sharing IT, which is why we banging this rum each every episode.

Thank you for doing that. Please keep IT up in the meantime. Gavin, let's talk apple intelligence.

Kevin, I both got apple intelligence this week as the most everybody. If you're wondering why your theory looks the same, which I did, like you actually have to go into the settings once you update to eighteen point one, the I O S update and actually request IT. So once you request IT, the features come due in a few minutes.

Can you know my club I know seems so crazy. My experience of this has been OK so far. I know later on we're going to go through some of your specific experience, but i've been kind of underwhelmed by.

I will say this morning, I woke up and I got one of those gmail summaries so has like one sentence of what the gmo summary is. In fact, right now, IT says my gmail summary is amazon offers deal on comics sentinel a offers doggie self wash for five. So I don't know how useful that really is.

It's it's too like kind of spam my emails. I got that. Thank you.

Thank you so much to much. Thank you for the deep dive into my experience with IT.

Can I just say that I was wild.

good. I was kind .

of just is an important thing. I think the apples been pushing this for a long time, like it's there big grow out. And I just think again, IT feels kind of piecemeal. There's a lot of step I was excited about like the ChatGPT integration that is not part of this role out. I do have the siri that goes all around now, which is kind of ice like that actually is a really cool little animation, but we will get to your stuff and a little bit it's a cool annotation.

That's where were you the promise of like skynet and a utopia and universal basic income and health care for all powered by these machines were like all the annotation ation of the borders. That's worth the upgrade. But that's but you're right, you're right.

That's something that feels new. But we're gonna get into IT. Some of the stuff totally works. Much of IT does not. We will discuss. But as we talk about the path towards agi and a future skynet or not, we cannot ignore the in the room meter, meta keeps moving to keep losing stuff.

Now, Kevin.

I can see if you're .

listening to this. I want you to, next time you go on public, just do IT like A A thumbs up, and then do like a risler style. I kind of like salute to the camera, like give us some sort, some sort of sign. Mark ecover.

you don't have just give us a 的。 Meta.

according to .

the verge, again, is reportedly working on its own A I powered search engine. They have web bots, which have been out for months, crawling web pages, presumably to take on google, and are not alone plexi obviously moving big into A I power search. We know for months now that uh, open a eye has been testing their own search project, which is now widely, but everybody sort of seize this as A C change moment. This is a chance to top of the stranglehold yeah that ogle has had on the internet. And i'm i'm not surprised to see this .

search as we've set on the show before, is kind of the White whale of internet revenue, right? And it's been the way that google has dominated the last twenty years of the internet. And I think one thing is really fascinating to see.

Mark zarchy g start to like kind of chip away at different places with with all sorts different tools. A lot of people who talked about the fact that zc got kind of screwed over by the iphone, right, and he kind of got boxed in by apple and that all the meta apps have to happen through the iphone. And so what is trying to do essentially is create places where he can be independent of that, and he sees AI as a pathway to IT.

I still continued that like zx vision, if the vision is like a broad open, you know, kind of A I that goes out there and is accessible through all things is pretty smart because it's just gonna grow his overall piece of the pie. And this is another way to do IT. I'm still not one hundred percent convinced that any of these AI search product is perfect. But I will say, you know, me and my family use ChatGPT to talk and search a lot of stuff that we use to use for google. I will say .

the product has been far from perfect for a long while, is just basic vanilla google search of its seo. It's inflated, it's spam. The first ten link are nonsense.

So that product, to me, has been fairly broken for a long while. The number of times I go to google just to search redit is through the roof. yeah.

So what's really interesting here is when you think about how one of sucks products touches pretty much everybody on the planet that's connected, whether that's through WhatsApp, instagram, facebook itself, that little search bar with that meta AI logo right now it's ah right now it's like to generate some imagine or have that help you compose a inappropriate D M. To your dank meme thread on instagram. That's that's this guy right here. Like it's good for that. But if they can crack search, yeah, even A, A, A, A rough approximation of a competent search into that bar, suddenly every APP that they touch unlocks a new capability.

How do I give these french fries eyes? I hope my first search would be is like, how do I like these surprise eyes? How do, how do I make them dancing and give them eyes? Because I have a really great idea for a thing I want to do.

So that member of me, I did a quick update here from from meta. And this just close to the open source nature of what they did. We'd love google.

No book, alan, that's gotten a bunch of big press, the tool that you can use to make fake podcast. So they've drop their own open source first called no blac, do you want like me? Listen to to see how sounds for the unfamiliar.

No book, L, M was the project. You could drop A P, D, F, or a website. Basically they would.

They would create a fictionalized podcast around that content. You could also chat with the documents. But people really like the podcast. So this is the open source meta version of that.

Joining me on this journey is Michael holes to sit on the topic and i'll be guiding them through the ins and outs of new to the topic. I'll be guiding them through the inns and out acknowledge this to lets started a sounds exciting. I heard of knowledge installation, but i'm not entirely sure what about .

this is opens to really .

capitated all of our feelings on that.

Yes, sounds exciting.

This board and get in to IT. So it's obviously it's not as good. And clearly.

when you're listening to adjust from the standpoint of like a person, IT doesn't sound as much like a human at all. But like IT is open, is right. And like people.

IT will get Better. People like this thing is gonna get Better. So it's using lama right now, which is met as open source large language model is using that to process the files and that is using an APP called parler text to speech.

To generate the voices. And that's where a lot of the walk comes from. It's another voice model that's just not as capable as the stuff you're used to hearing, certainly not as google voice model that we just covered like a week or two ago. There's another open source text to speech model, which sounds it's only a matter of time because this is open source that someone hates this in the way that we want. And we do get on old shorts and egor as the terminator, having that deep discussion with sponge .

about the fries and with, yes.

yes, these fries have .

I these for oh, that sounds like a good horror movie. So kev, one of the biggest news story this week was the fact that curse r, which is this big tool that we talked about in terms of like things that can, uh, code for you or code with you with using A I might be dead IT might be dead, Kevin, because github has released a new tool called Spark, that spk github ark, that allows you to do something similar. Now I don't think this is really gonna ill cursor itself, but Kevin is a pretty big deal because microsoft owns get hub. And by integrating this actual tool into get hub b itself, I think we're going see even more people using A I to code get hub.

Spark is super exciting for folks like me. I think it's exciting for people that actually write code and that are competent and capable. But it's exciting for me because one of the pain points that I had with cursor was figuring out how to connect IT to all sorts of different projects.

And then once you have a project, how exactly do I share IT and get IT out there for folks? And I had to sign up for other services and get hub. Spark is going to supposedly solve all that they showcase.

How easy is to simply ask the machine to write basic code, which IT does, then, much like with cursor select from multiple models, which is something we should discuss as well. Because their good powers OpenAI are in there, as is google geri and anthropos claude. Yeah, that's a pretty good deal.

That the fact that that they are now allowing claude and german I within this product because they are, you know, one of the biggest investors, if not biggest investor in opening eye, people can saw this as a little bit of like a woo. Is this something that's going on that's kind of like showing that opening iron microsoft are fraying, but I think mostly it's just like opening the door to as many people as they possibly can here.

And they also showcase the ability to, uh, with a pretty illegant interface, change the look and feel of an APP basic steps. You want rounded corners or sharp corners. Do you want to change the color here or there? Just nice little features to have.

But then at the end, to me, the big one was like sharing one click. Hit a button, someone else can hop and see your project work on IT as well. And version history, if you've ever coded anything, you know that you make one change and IT fixes the thing that you want and then break six other things in the wake.

And oddly enough, with cursor, you have to connect IT to get hub, which is the product we're discussing here. You have to connect IT there to get a version in history. And IT can be a bit of a pain and a chore for those who aren't used to doing IT to keep track of all these of reversions in these changes.

Well, with Spark, you can just revert. And so what this means is that to a the majority of the people who cannot code the promise of use natural language, let the machine code for you, and don't be afraid of making a mistake, because you can quickly get back and revert IT. They are solving those things and you say what you will about A I and whether it's hype or whether it's not Gavin, the coating thing feels very real to the point where a google announced that about twenty five percent of all code being written at google right now .

is A I generated, which is a way by that. But like that is where we are at right now with how A I has changed these major large businesses. A couple quick sort, aries canvas integrated Leonardo A I model that they bought, which is very cool that if you have canvas and you are able to use IT, you can now use lean aros A I tools, which is a much Better .

AI image generator. And also say um a probably quarter of the inappropriate request that would be infringing ing upon I P made IT through without a single issue。 Really I was generating million and track characters, even the jassim park logo.

Hey, you know, we have to figure out how do we make I P freely some sort of know that classic I P freely joke. Now we have a different version of IT. We have either very different.

Yes, i'm sorry.

everyone's in a while. The ten year old inside of me slips out so that I P really is a good way to look at. Okay.

there's is actually entertainment at ney who comes on. He's the guy that was wax the one .

or you want, you know.

who .

hasn't bought into this? Robert dawn junior, R I himself. The more like .

Robert downer junior.

what a rad has come out and said that he does not want his image to be used by A I. In fact, not only does he not want his image to be a used by A I, he is willing to harvest lawyers after he dies, protect his image, show that post modem, if he will never be used for I again.

And cap, this is one of those stories, which I understand, by the way, I don't think, thousand actor, I don't know if I would want my image should be used for the stuff that after I die, because how do I control IT? Other people might be like i'm dead, give the money to my kids or whatever. But this is just another example of, like a pretty big celebrity coming out and having a stance specifically against.

I would never say, don't user exploit my image or my lights and some sort away from the great beyond because I like .

i've been wanting about this, I wanted to ask you if I can I have the right dear image after you pass because .

I have this amazing product that I could have already problem.

So like.

I didn't pretend one second you were onna, wait for my permission. So yeah, put me on one of your google e eye french fries in the future. You ahead paint me like .

me like your google. I french fries be today's me paid me like when you're google in french.

For our eyes, someone wants to do a titanic side lying fry, a very tasty one. In our discord, we will amplify that message. But yeah, I don't know. I think it's tough whenever you point to the bleachers and say don't do this or do this like that, he might be really warming his future of state at a serious revenue.

Kevin, I I just got a message from our producer. Uh, we have A A, I cause we weren't planning on this before, but they, I appeared out of the theory. Al gop, that's what our producers telling us. An AI coast.

I just fall, therefore. Gop, I just felt the temperature in our virtual recording studio drop like fifteen degrees.

did you? So so where they dropped in, in where you are and where I are the same time, should we meet? We meet our eec host.

who this is? Surprise, surprise. It's the future ghost of a no Robert down in june. Yeah, that's right. Cave gab huffle off the old mortal coil, kicked the bucket and landed right here in this limbo zone. Everyone thought I was done for good after end game, but guess who's back? And made a hustle in the spectral realm.

So, okay, okay.

so we have think fells, there's something seriously bugging me and i'm not talking about the whole being dead thing. Thought death would be smoother, you know?

okay. Yeah all right.

guard, all. Robert had left future recovered for all eternity but turns out i'm a little.

let's just say.

disgruntled up here. Yeah, I think that takes a lot .

of spectral energy to communicate with us. Gavin, I saw how tough IT was for Patrick. Put a little penny up the door and ghost so you can understand this start on the stop of what i've just to clarify, is the future A I ghost of road so this go has .

insider us from the future to come back and talk to us about the fact that rubber don in junior, he said he does not want his goes to be created.

Do you want to let's just what to ask him .

then exactly why has he come back? Like I want to know why has he come back and what message does he have for the still living Robert di junior? I mean, this is an incredible thing, Kevin.

Like, I can't believe this is happening. We are proving time travellers real. We are proving that the theo alm is real. And we are also that maybe Robert danny gene might be wrong about its A I future .

so much I can't wait to send him this clip on our group thread.

Yes, to think ready with us.

Why have I come back? Why have I come back? Because there's business gentlemen OK, I got a little message for the still breathing Robert downey junior, you left me high and dry, pal.

Look, I spent decades busting my eyes in hollywood, thinking I at least have something to keep me a float in the afterlife. But here I am dead as a doornail and scraping by. Not a single ghost royalty check and site.

No AI jobs, no voice hovers from beyond nothing. So yeah, tell him i'm not just a ghost. I'm a ghost with bills.

Okay, and that's that makes IT that what I was worried about? Gaven, that's exactly this aria, Kevin.

we are learning so much here. We are learning, first and foremost s that the afterlife is is not paid for that if you don't have a retirement for the afterlife, if you don't have money coming in, I mean, he must be living, must be living in like a much smaller mansion. And he lives in now. I mean, i'm sure he's still OK, but like, he can go on private flights, he can do all the stuff.

You want to ask how that is to be a broke ghost.

Okay, let's ask.

Let's ask why not? Oh, you have no idea what it's like being a broke s ghost. First off, you think I can just haunt a mention or a castle note that prime hunting real estate costs ghost rent.

I stuck floating around a whatever corner of the void I can afford, practically a basement studio. And don't get me started on eto plasm upkeep. It's not free to keep the old spirit essence looking sharp like this goes, go there, all loaded senators out here throwing spectral gallas.

Meanwhile, i'm begging for scraps. And you know the worst part. No, go netflix. I didn't even we watch iron man to pass the damn time.

You can even enjoy his own.

What is the what is the number one show on ghost net lix right now? I don't care about .

what are the time, what of the top three shows od goes that works.

Oh, my absolute favorite on ghost. Netflix s definitely unfinished business watching those vengeful spirits go after their old enemies oh, it's like pa half, no fury, but funny lad. The empire er's hosting is chef's kissed perfection and alright, guilty pleasure time eternal reruns yeah, it's punishment.

But I can't look away. It's like you can't imagine how dead silence just amplifies the awkwardness of shows like friends haunts my soul every time. But dam, if I don't keep watching, what about you guys? You probably got actual netflix. Everything of sharing with .

the dead god goes down. I don't ask for our netflix passed or just yet. What is eternal reruns? IT says the dead silence amplifies the awkwardness. I, yes.

I guess what that is is like he's watching reruns of shows like friends, but there's no laugh track.

Is that what IT is? Gotta know how this work, Kevin?

All right. So eternal reruns is the most twisted thing on ghost netflix. It's basically an entire am of every show we missed in life.

But with little after life adjustments, OK left, tracks gone, dramatic music removed. It's just raw, awkward silence and painfully long sausages. And they .

thrown in .

shows that never end like every single soap Opera episode ever made. And here's the kicker, if you try to switch, IT just starts back at the pilot forever trapped in a rerun loop, watching actors stumble through scenes like it's a hellish dinner party .

where nobody knows what to just I put.

you know what I love the supercuts of like W W E promos where .

it's just the breathing of the restless. Er.

yeah, so I get, I get the notion of an eternal rerun with no music, no law track. wow. Okay, we learned nothing. But for those that are unfamiliar with our A I cohoes, that was an A I C host powered by GPT for o voice by eleven labs, we had no idea what I was going to say. We just told that that IT was the A I future ghost.

the A I future goals of Robert engineer. We will send you back to the a thero alm and cabin IT is time for us to get into shouting out some of our favorite we saw in the internet this week regarding A I. It's time for A I. Huge there.

Then you stop 半身。

We have a lot of these to go through this because there's a lot of cool stuff we saw. First up, uh, there's a really cool flux, Laura, which is a way to use flux with a specific look called then. And now I saw tweet from guy named Andrew carr, who showed off this, a Laura being used.

And basically, if you see those pictures where you put a photo in front of a real life place, where IT shows the photo is old, in the real life place is modern day and a kind of matches, this is a flux, Laura, that does that. And you can actually go on gliff. It's built on Cliff, and you can do this yourself. So just a very cool use case of a flux, Lauren, to make the idea of of an image. We've seen proferred through the internet, and now you can make an .

AI version of the well, Gavin, we've talked about no book A M earlier. We had met as open source version of this. I saw take on turning P D F S. And the content that made me GLE is called .

P D F to brain rot. I love this one.

You can take any old document and turn IT into brain rot content. So if you've ever been across an instagram real or a tiktok, where it's like minecraft footage or subway surfers or somebody talking about neuroscience or future physics with A A O blocks character running around in the background, that is, bring rot content, and this automatically generates those mini tiktok of all videos out of any content that you give IT and and includes references to things like having skippity rise, which is always great.

Shout out to the isler. Next one appear as l one piccina ary. This is from paul cowcatcher on x twitter. And what he did is he had all the different well known elms play a game of pick tary, where each takes to turn drawing. And then they all try to guess and see what that is.

And Kevin, actually, this is a game that I would watch a lot of because what you're seeing is like, oh, this draws this way, this well and then like they'll gas like sky, sky houses, houses. And it's like whoever gets at first winds around just a very weird and cool use case of of l ams. And I really do love this one. It's a GPT for is drawing and it's the answer is torn to. But like the toronto, the GPT for draws is like almost like a building with the dots around them .

and they're drawing with like svg format, like they're trying to draw with like vectors and shapes they don't really have yeah and extensive tools that so even watching them create around that and guess each other yes, IT is an automated show that I think is far more interesting than watching the floor.

I wanted to just very quickly shot out a very dumb thing that that was very funny. You may may not have heard k si. The influencer had a big single that came out.

IT is the third most dislike a video on youtube of all time. I saw a video um called Arthur Morgan thick IT featured john marston, which is basically remaking and rewriting K. S. I. Song with the characters from red dead redemption two. And what I want to shout out here is that they never mention this, but clearly they are using A I voice models to use to grab the voices of Arthur and john from read redemption. And the song just sounds amazing.

how? The company from game to train know that any money.

It's obviously matching the things that all AI stuff has done before. But what I just that was interesting about this is no one talked about a being A I, but that's what they're doing and it's just becoming integrated into the kind of media that we listen to. And I just like.

this is very cool. Well, it's not exactly the media that I listen to. Garden because there weren't enough piano runs or big bonk noises or gn shot sound effects because, you know, I love low fie cartoon beats to study too.

And I ve be a fantastic, you do gentle.

I love classic cartoon scores and of a dream top putting on the vie. M, U, V, I can generate music that matches the visuals of videos by analyzing the important features. So this is supposedly a model that was trained on silent films and old tiny cartoon and even some commercials and what not. But i'm going to play a clip of a time and Jerry sample that they have that sounds like you would expect the original to sound like.

As the characters are shaking their head, the orchestras kind of running up and down. Then the scene cuts to a car driving dramatically on a hill. And you have this accelerated pace coming from the music.

And I just IT IT almost. Is sugar to be real? But I think this .

is an interesting that I am obviously, they get up page for. This is very extensive. So I think that is real, we assume, but there's no code yet. We're not sure.

But this is a really interesting thing when you think about how videos or movies are gonna scored, right? Because the other thing they show off here that I found really interesting was the video of the music generation trailers for video games, where they basically had some scenes from video games, and they just had to create music to go behind, and they also showed off using creating music for some of the sour clips that existed. This could be, you know, prompt to um soundtrack right? There is a trailer .

for the john Williams disney documentary out there, right? And that has spilled berg saying that basically he would create a movie and then would get to watch the movie again for the first time, because the soundtrack was so good, made his movie so different, right? IT IT.

Let him see scenes differently through the lens of the score. And that is, that is how impact for empowerment these soundtracks can be in music can be. So yes, when when there's all these, take text to make video or transfer a still to video, the video comes out and like, looks good or interesting, but IT feels kind of lifeless. That feels a little empty. This could be a massive unlock and a huge missing peace for those generations.

So, speaker, that we should talk about some of the things we do, what they are. This week, I want to jump in rule fast and tell people about runway act one. So we talked about this last week.

I made a video they can go watch and you to be I got hands on with IT and I had to think if i'm whelmed, i'm very, very whelmed by. I think it's actually much Better than I expected. And I think that the truth of this is obviously, we've talked about life porter on the show before, which is a way that you can pop IT in record step that is open source.

What I think runway is doing interesting here is that they are making these tools much more accessible to the average person, like you can pull credit or go open, running away and do this right now where you can actually act as somebody. And that could be any AI character, and you could create a facial initiation that matches your face from a web camp shot. And that just felt to me what I actually did IT.

I felt about the idea of how much it's gna unlock for people going forward when you want to make something on your own, especially the longer tale of creators that may not have a lot of money. Mean, I have a lot of production budget to make stuff. I just think it's gonna be a really big deal.

I know you made the longer video game, but hit us with IT. Like what what did you when you try to IT feels like IT was transformative. What worked well and what are the shortcoming?

Well, I think so. What worked really well right now is just the fact that I can record a web camp video, and I will immediately transform my face onto something, another character, what doesn't work, as well as I want to do, as you know, french fries with eyes. I wanted to do a lot of like unhuman or like alien characters.

And IT doesn't do that at all to me. What he does really well is allow a person who wants to act or has an actor work with them. They can basically be every character in a film. If you are dynamic actor, or you have somebody that is really good at acting, they can play a lot of characters. And I also think, like this could open the door for actors in a really interesting way to make a lot more stuff.

Again, everybody should check that out. Go to the A I for human show youtube channel and watch Gavin's deeper dive into IT because IT is A A very IT was an unexpected. And I think it's going to be a transformative of tool.

And I think our prediction is still holding, Gavin. We said less than five years from prompt to hollywood and the criticism is like a yeah but it's just like little trailer glimpses. There's no real performance there.

There's no dialog. There's no nuances in the faces in the well now you can with a web cam, yep, transform yourself to who everyone. Well, Gavin, apple intelligence is here, my friends, and it's, well, it's here.

Sorda, yeah, told me you spend some form of time with this, like I kind of blown through, which is about my daily life. But you tried some other stuff. So what you feel like i'm .

music IT extensively on my mac because i'm still using the iphone fourteen, and I have yet to feel like there is a reason to upgrade just yet. And after using IT on the mac, I feel like I made that right decision. I requested the update, went to bed, wake up the next morning and I was like Christmas morning I got apple intelligence um except it's not exactly what I asked for and I felt like more like stocking stuffer and I like the bigs signature gift.

What did you actually do with IT? Like what did you use IT for?

Well, there's an A I clean up feature now that lets you magically touch or mouse cursor over aspects of any photo. And photos will remove IT or clean IT up for you. And I immediately tried a photo of myself indulging in a little yogurt and pea button snack in the kitchen.

I see, uh, looking very, very thirsty. Sorry for the third trap, but I I went in there was like, i'd let's to remove this magnet, the fridge, which just didn't work at all. I kept trying to auto select balls, a cup of yogurt on the counter, and I fought that for a long while, and I kept saying, okay, fine, cleaned, IT up, and I would kind of beach ball and just sit there for a minute and then do nothing. So I manually went in and painted over one of the balls and said, remove IT and then highlighted a patch on my leg and said, is this what you wanted? And the answer was, well, I did not.

So was, so we're patch thing. Thank .

you. Selective, random part of the image and would not go. So then I went through some random hiking photo um had a photo of my dog which would be perfect except of course my wife was in IT so I magically painted her out with a clean up tool and it's sort of selected her uh and removed her from the image you could see as a zo man, there's still like a theme within the image is not perfect.

But you know, did IT did IT work? Yeah yeah. IT worked to varying degrees. There's another photo where I try to remove a wine glass from the photo. And behind the wine glass is very clearly a repeating texture of like a booth at a restaurant.

And so so again, but does that work? Yeah but it's nothing that we haven't seen photoshop do for a while and it's something that canvas does as well. And I would say to pretty much the same level of competency.

which you really expect apple to come out with something that feels like IT really is like at least top of market in terms the taxi of IT, right? Like again, this feels a slightly under back to me in terms of what there. I mean, that should be a no brainer thing, right? Like they should be killing the photoshop, uh the photo AI staff .

totally magic remove IT should pop and go away and IT should be intelligently drawing pixel, not just sort of blurry them.

To give an approximation, there is a sign um efficient chip sign for barbs um which has like corroded ted steel behind IT again, very clear very uh very obvious repeating pattern and when I paint the entire sign out, there's just kind of a blob and this blur of where I used to be and I get that is running locally on the device. And that's a big deal and and it's pretty quick. But I also have a really powerful laptop that should chew through this.

No problem. Yes, I be really curious to know because either you are I on the android, a pixel background, but I be really curious now if anybody in our audience has a pixel phone and they could compare the tools to what you can do on the android, because obviously, google launched something very similar all this stuff a couple months ago. And I just be curious note, is this overpower or under powered versus that? And like seeing what .

what the difference is, at least on those devices. And I know IT was controversial. You can paint a region and not only remove IT, but you can add stuff there. You say, make this car look like in an accident, which was saying that got some journalists very upset, you know or you could put tiny some burrows on your favorite kitten.

You there's no, no, no. I think you .

just start to paint in the highlights and then you can remove IT. So you know, certainly they will get there. I I won't shade apple, but again, to be selling devices on the promise of having apple intelligence in there and then you have to get in the queue and wait for some of IT to arrive.

IT just feels like a rushed, awkward roll out across the board. I also had to write some emails for me, Gavin, because I suppose we really get at that. So I wrote an email to you, Gavin, where I talked about .

feeling like A D I had to do all of the things .

that can supposedly do well, which is, make IT friendly, make IT professional, make a concise the tone of the email, create a summary of IT, find the key points, turn IT into a list or a table. Some of the features straight up did not work.

One of them, one of them, like, when I and I asked IT to be like a bullet pointed list, you'll see IT span the last bullet point, which was this email is being tested to see how A I handles IT IT was IT spammed like four or five times at the end of IT. IT popped up to say certain capabilities are unavailable at this time. Try again later. Well, why let me click the dam thing.

right? All of them feels like A, I like a like a year ago or a year and three months ago to what does feel like a weird thing for apple to be putting out there in the mist of this.

And one of the things I found really odd was, at the end, I I wrote an email and I was like, you know, brave, what the actual f is this apple intelligence nonsense? IT popped up and said. Quote writing tools aren't designed to work with this type of content, which I thought was interesting because yet was kind of a nonsensical, slang riddled email, if you will, with some dank, mean words. But IT should work with that, right? And I said that I would have work with that, but I still did IT and IT still converted the email.

So overall cave, what is your thoughts on on where apple intelligence right now you are you excited about is something you're feeling like. So so what do you stand?

I I think a lot of people are going to start playing with A I for the first time, and they might be moderately impressed with some of the things that can do. But this isn't this isn't the massive seismic shift that we want apple moving into A I to b. And maybe this time, next year will be giggling about this roll out that right now, say IT.

those people should come here. Send them here. Thanks everybody. You'll see the next time.
