What have I become? I can't describe this This is my mid-mic crisis
Hello and welcome to the mid-mic crisis. I am Bunchu alongside my esteemed colleague and co-host Chamber. Chamber, how you doing, buddy? I am doing well. It's middle of summer. I feel like the summer's over already. Dude, it's so crazy. I feel the same way. I'm like, wow. It's so crazy that, you know...
When you were a kid, summer felt like it was the longest thing. You felt like you had so much time. And now it's like, I don't even know there is a summer. It's like four weeks. I don't even know there is a summer. It's just like, you know. We were talking about it. We're like, oh, what are we going to do? I'm like, no, whatever we're doing is planned. Yeah, that's it. Because there's only literally weeks between things. And then the kids go back to school. And then we're back to school.
in the afternoons. And I can't wait for it. Yeah. I mean, stay tuned for our upcoming new show, Smashing in the Afternoon with Chamber. Smashternoon. Smashternoon with Chamber. Alright.
All right. Before we get really into it today, I got to comment on your outfit as we do every week. Let's see the shirt today. What do we got going on? It's just a... Is that a full button down or is it a polo? Full button down, short sleeve, like a Billy Butcher.
uh, from, uh, the boys style. Uh, I like it. It's all ladies. It's a fucking gun. I am not sure you could say that on YouTube. No, if you're doing it in a Billy, Billy, Billy butcher accent, you're right. Right. Fair. Totally. You're right. Fair game. So, uh, all right, I've got the, the shirts looking good. What's the hat today? Oh,
It's the Chapeau. I dig that one. Yeah, I'm digging it. It just matches. It's got a match. I got pieces of flair too. I don't know if you do pieces of flair. I have a friendship bracelet from my kids. I've got, you know, it's a, my kids make fun of me. Yeah. They're like, you always put your matching bracelets on. Don't you dad? Yeah.
Wow. How many bracelets do you have to be able to color match your... Wow. This is something I'm learning. I ended up getting... It was on Amazon. Because I'm like, oh, I just wanted some new bracelets. And there was a 50-pack of assorted mix-and-match bracelets.
man bracelets yeah maybe they're maybe they're not for men we'll call them bracelets whatever and i got yeah i got like a shitload everyone's got wrists everybody does have wrists that's right uh so yeah so i have a whole bunch uh all sorts of different colors uh and uh yeah how about a how about an etsy store only for gender neutral bracelets called wrist takers oh
Low wrist, low wrist, high reward. That's your tagline. That's it. Nailed it. All right. That'll do that. That'll do it for us today. Uh, you know, the, uh, all right, we got a lot to talk about today. This one's going to be fun. Um, what's new in your life before we get started? Anything crazy going on? Nothing. You know, we're going to take, uh, I think we'll be off next week. Uh,
Oh, that's news to me. I'll be away. I figured I'd tell you now. Okay. I'm going to be, I mean, more than likely not do the show. I'm going to bring my stuff. Oh, wow. Okay. And then, you know, we'll play it by ear. But more than likely, probably not doing the show next week. A little high, you know, a little getaway. But yeah, nothing much. Yeah.
I went, it's funny. I went for a little hike yesterday. My family was away, so I was by myself. So I went for a hike in town. And it's strange to me how you could have like these historic sites within your community and like nobody even knows about it.
My wife's like, oh, you got to go to like the meeting tree. And I'm like, what the hell is that? She's like, oh yeah, it's like the 700 year old tree in the middle of town. Like we have like a kind of like a forest in the middle of town. I feel like it's just like homeless people, like making their way through the different parts of town. I'm like, there's no way I'm going. And it was beautiful. Yeah.
And then about 45 minutes, an hour into this hike, I come across this meeting tree. And it's like, yeah, like I said, it's like 700 years old. And apparently where I live is like the end of the Underground Railroad. It's like the last hike there.
You're where it comes above ground. It does. Yeah. It turns out not underground above ground railroad. Got it. But this meeting tree is a part of the underground railroad. And it's where, you know, people looking for safe passage would, would meet. And it is in the middle of nowhere. Like it's not in, but yeah, I'm like, Oh, this was just in my town. And like, I feel like nobody talks about it. And it's this,
unbelievable like site. Uh, it's like Rocky mountain level. Like, Oh my God. Like, wow, this is wow. Interesting. Uh, we're going to need pictures next time you go. I feel like everybody has these things in their communities. Probably. Yeah. I have like, I have shit like that all over here. It's like, uh,
uh minds minds that you can go into like like like you know yes yeah black lung kind of stuff okay all right i see that's amazing yeah yeah so we have a we already have a question for for one minute of pain later when hawk to an interview so pain has been trying painstakingly uh no pun intended working on that interview so hopefully we'll have the exclusive at some point uh she's gonna be at uh at
Bitcoin Nashville? Bitcoin Nashville, yeah. Really? I mean, that's what I saw. I don't know if it's accurate or not, but I definitely saw somebody say that. Well, everybody's going to Bitcoin Nashville. Right, except for Payne.
I haven't heard back from the official Bitcoin Nashville account yet. You did tweet at them as we said we were going to last week. I did. All right. A couple of things to plug here before we get into it. First of all, give us a like, a subscribe, a share. Chamber, do you need to smash that like button? Yeah, you definitely need. I mean, you can tickle it. You can give a little...
One of those. All right. Absolutely. Anything will do. Anything will do. All right. Other plugs for the day. Come and hang out in the Firebrain AI community. We have 75 members strong. I'm actually thinking about closing this at around 250. So get in while you can. And it's free for now. Probably won't be free forever. We've got a ton of awesome stuff going on there. If you missed our podcast,
coffee hours. I do tutorials in there every week. Pretty fun to do. The people are coming out in droves. We had about 20 people on the one this week, which was really, really great. Yeah, very cool. And then don't forget to...
come and check out my other now automated, fully automated daily podcast, Firebrain AI, the daily Ember. And that's the stuff we've got going on. Chamber, anything you want to plug before we get into it? No, I did have a question though. I came across...
Hold on. Wait a second. By the way, am I jumping on my jump? No, no. I did have a question for you though. Have you been listening to this at all lately? I, I would say, uh, I listened to the first three episodes. Okay. I need your, I need your opinion. So after the first three, actually, after maybe the first three or four, I decided I wanted to change up how,
I'm doing the script. I wanted to make it a little shorter, a little more punchy. I think it's funnier now. It's not just me reading the news. So yeah, Payne says in our chat, he listens every day, a lot more jokes. So there you go. So I need your opinion. Go listen to it and tell me what you think.
And, you know, I think it's funny, though, the more jokes I've added, I think a little more you can tell that it's AI because the delivery is comedic timing. But honestly, overall, I think it does a really good job. And the fact that I didn't write the jokes, like,
It's actually pretty witty and punny. So check it out. I need to hear your opinion on the new scripts. And now they're like literally 10 minutes bite-sized and you get everything you need to know. So today the big topic was Meta and Zuck launching the new open sourced Lama model, which has sort of been a big thing for us.
surpassed chat GPT or sorry, GPT 4.0 on some things and Claude and some things. So it's a big deal for that to be open source. So that's the main topic today, but all right, chamber. Now you can, sorry to interrupt you. I need to tell you about the punch here. I came across a video. I think it was on YouTube of you discussing, you know, AI stuff. Hmm.
And I'm not a hundred percent sure if it was you or like, I'm like, I don't know. Like I, it was quick. I'd only watched me. I mean, I would say maybe a minute at the most I watched of it. And I was just like, I genuinely don't know. What was the video? Was it a tutorial video or was it like a YouTube short? It was like a tutorial video.
If it was the tutorial, it was probably actually me because I have to actually record those. I was shook. I'm like, I genuinely did not know. I did, however. It's funny that you say that because the tutorial that it was was how to actually automate YouTube Shorts. Yes, that's what it was. That's exactly what it was. Okay, so the tutorial is me. The YouTube Shorts are AI. Okay.
Yes. Yeah, I was blown away. I was blown away. So if you go find that tutorial on the Firebrain AI channel, you too can learn how to automate hundreds of YouTube shorts in just 30 minutes. There you go. Unbelievable. What do you think? I'm in. I'm invested. Now that I know it's you, I'm going to even watch it even more.
I recorded a much shorter one just before the show. It's only a minute and 40 seconds, so that's more. Because I don't like being duped. Because I felt like I was being duped. I'm like, am I getting tricked by AI right now? Because I don't like that. No dupe. That was me. Okay, good. I'm very excited now. All right. So shall we get into our topic du jour today? I think this one's going to be a fun one. Hit the drop. We're talking AI. See?
so two things before we jump into this um one i hear we have a new segment today
We do. It might be terrible. I'm very excited for that. It might be terrible. You created it. I have no idea what is happening for this segment. So I'm very much looking forward to it. I'll give you the background moments before we actually do the segment. Okay. And then secondly...
So as part of this new endeavor of me creating a bunch of content and YouTube videos, I actually made my first real thumbnail the other day. The like, like the kind that I refuse. I refuse. You know what I'm talking about? I know what you're talking about. You want to see it? I do. I might use it for our, I might use them for ours now.
Hold on. Are you ready? Let's see. I've got it right here. Now, don't be too mean to me. This is the first one I've ever done. This is the first one I've ever done. So here it is. We've got the... Can you see it here? I've got to bring it up there. There it is.
it's good the next one's just the next one's just gonna be i've got i mean i've got the expressions for youtube let's just i mean it hurts there's one um there's one laker um youtube you know youtube uh show that i watch a lot and they just pivoted to those and my heart my heart broke a little bit i was just like oh
I feel like you guys, they were, but I mean, they were the number one and currently still are like the number one, like they didn't have to. But that's my point. The, the increase will be worth doing even for the number one pot Laker podcast in the tribe, uh,
Because they have multiple hosts. They have multiple hosts. No, I think this is their California-based group. I'm going to make AI-generated versions of screenshots of you, and I'm going to start making thumbnails where me and you are looking at each other like it's a buddy comedy. Ha ha ha ha ha!
You know? I like it. I like it. We'll be back to back like this? Yeah. Absolutely. I like this. All right. Let's talk about what we're supposed to be talking about today. I sent you this last week sometime. This was a topic I wanted to cover last week, and we didn't get there. We took too long on the, you know, whatever the heck we were talking about last week. And I'm glad we didn't get there because now we're going to do a whole show on this specifically.
platform. And I, I told you that this may break your brain a little bit. And I did tell you, you would have to do a little homework. So I sent you a video and, uh, to watch. And I sent you the website to use. And, um,
I'm curious to hear what your initial reactions are before getting any detail of what it is and what it does. What were your reactions to this? So I watched, you sent me a video, about a 30 minute video to watch
By the way, shout out Louis Pican, who sent me the video and also created the guide that we're going to be showing a little bit later. So shouts to Louis. Is it Louis Pican or Louis Picon? He probably would pronounce it Pican, and I am an uncultured swine that says Pican. No.
No, I feel like I flip. I vary depending on... It might be in the future how you know AI version of me versus the real version of me is how they say pecan or pecan. I like the idea of...
having a tell one like a safe word yeah yes in oh i like this maybe it's the pecan theory maybe that's it maybe we we blow this out and it's the pecan theory this is gonna be good this is gonna be good uh so there it's funny because in the podcast there are some tells one of which one of which every time i want the script to say content
pain just said it as well yesterday's episode of the podcast said the wrong form of content and it says content which is which is really funny yeah i think it did it again today so uh i'm gonna have to scan my scripts for that word and scrub it out just change it to con tent two words or i'm just gonna put pecan
Or Pecan. Yeah. I'm definitely putting Pecan in the script tomorrow and just seeing how it says it. So, all right. So tell me what you thought of this tool. So I watched the video. It was very thorough. And I started immediately kind of five minutes into the video. I'm like, okay, let me pull up the website and I'm going to start trying this out. And I was blown away. You can...
It's the speed in which things get created, I think, is what's super impressive to me.
That's really the big takeaway is how- - The speed and like the understanding. - Right, yes. - Yeah. - Oh, by the way, WebSim just gave us a like on Twitter, so shout out. - Oh good, so maybe we should talk about them. - Yeah, we're definitely totally talking about this right now. - Okay, so the platform that we're going to be talking about today is websim.ai. Chamber, tell the people what your understanding of WebSim is.
Well, it is, you know, using my unending knowledge on words. I took the word web and I took the word sim and extrapolated that it was a website simulator tool.
you know, site that uses, that's AI powered. And that's the conclusion I came to. And sure enough, I was correct. This is a AI powered website generator, I think is probably the best way to put it. I would say- Or maybe there's a better way. Well, I would say it's not necessarily a website generator, more so a-
simulated version of the web. That is true too. All of the web, right? But correct me if I'm wrong, you can create, download, and then upload to HTML and actually create these websites, right? Yes, which is, this is like one of the craziest parts of this, right? So like as we're going through this and doing some examples,
as we're doing some examples here imagine being able to create on this simulated web and then download that html code to kind of reproduce the thing in real life right and host it so i think that's kind of one of the big things that makes this super magical right so um
The possibilities are kind of endless here. And we'll bring up a prompting Bible that our friend Louis Pican created for us and for the world that he will lead you there to check it out if you wanted to play around with this. It's really an in-depth prompting guide for this. It's literally 35 pages. It'll take you from beginner to very, very advanced versions of what you can make here. But let's check out...
And I want people to really understand and see the stark difference between what my friend Bunchu here creates and what I create. Because the difference is going to be stark.
These aren't my creations, but when you come up here and you enter websim.ai, you'll see kind of what people have created and you see their usernames and how many times it's viewed, favorited, all of those things. But I mean, like, look at some of this stuff. This is a trading websim and you can click into it and see, and this is actually giving you, looks like real-time price. Are these real-time prices?
It very well could be. Look it. These are reflexive charts. I can zoom. They're trading view charts. This is wild. So somebody just prompted this, right? And it becomes to life. So this is a GPT trading desk. But let me go home. Okay. So essentially, since this is a simulated version of the web, you can...
treat it as such, right? So you can see you've got your nav bar up here. And let's say, Chamber, in real time, what do we want to create? I'm going to say, there's two ways. Yeah, I was going to say there's two ways to do it. I thought it was very interesting both ways. But let's do the regular prompt first. Okay, so there's kind of two ways to do this, right? So you can, let's
Think about what's happening here. So you've got this simulated web happening in front of you, right? And it's this interactive simulation platform. It allows you to kind of like explore all these possibilities of an alternate internet and, um,
you can create all of this stuff on the fly. And so you'll either be prompting this by kind of creating a URL that serves as the prompt. So you could do, you know, something like let's, let's try one ready. Sweet potato toes.com. Yeah. Well, you could do that. Let's say Twitter for dogs.com and let's see what happens. So now this is creating this on the fly and,
And it's doing this all on the backend just at using the... There you go. Look, just using my twitterfordogs.com as the initial prompt. Isn't that crazy? Amazing. I mean, it gets the color coding. It's unbelievable. Watch this. We have a good friend who used to have a handle that...
maybe suggested some dog-like activities. So let's do twitterfordogs.com slash NFT Bark slash at NFT Bark. And let's see what happens when I do that.
And it's literally creating it. Creating this on the fly in real time. And that's why it takes a little long, but there you go. He's got a crypto loving canine NFT artist, blockchain enthusiast, creating awesome digital art for the goodest boys and girls. And now it's like simulating his page. Unbelievable. Oh, can I re-woof this? Does this work? But
But so you could do stuff like Twitter for dogs. Now, let's see if I do something like, I don't really know how to...
how to prompt this in a URL form. I think I do something like this. You can add parameters here to the URL that are essentially like query strings, right? So you add something like question mark and now you can do a parameter. I wanna see if I could do like dark mode equals true. I don't know if that's exactly how you would do it. We're going to try this out and see if that works. I don't know if it'll work.
I bet you it does work. I feel confident. You think so? Because I wonder if you did, because it's pulling. Oh, there you go. Look at this. This is wild. And it added a button here. I wonder if I can talk about this. 100%. I bet you it does work. You think so? My guess is yes. Okay. Okay.
We're going to try it when it's done. So now we've got dark mode version of our friend NFT bark and we're going to up dark mode equals false. And yep, it's going to go back. Dude, this is insane. I wonder if you did like, cause you did Twitter for dogs. I wonder if you did X for dogs and it would give you like the X.com like aesthetic.
Because this is giving you the classic Twitter blue and everything, right? Well, check this out. So the other thing I was going to do here is I wonder if... So you know how what we don't have here, this looks like Twitter, but what we don't have here is like the sidebar, right? Right. So I wonder if I go and take a little screen grab of the...
the real sidebar on Twitter. And you got this, if you go in here, you can add an image, right? So let's see if I can just do this and post.
So this is an example of the other way that you can prompt this, right? So you can either do it as the URL or you can prompt it in natural language. So I'm just going to say, add this sidebar and see what happens. Let's see if it adds the sidebar or something similar. What do you think? I feel like it's going to work. I don't know. So far, so good. So far, the prompts have worked.
And I've created what we're looking for each time. I feel like there's a sidebar showing up right now. There it is. This is crazy, dude. This is so wild, right? This is, yeah, this is bonkers. And now you get, Oh my goodness. So you could take this and save the, I guess, save the programming for it and then convert this to an actual website if you wanted to.
Yeah. So you can, you could now totally, um, it's taking a little longer cause obviously we're trying to do this. So many people, so many people on, on Wifter, uh, probably, but yeah, look, dude, it just populated this entire sidebar just from the screenshot. Isn't that nuts? That is crazy. Okay. So now we've got, you know, our buddy Steve's, um,
our buddy Steve's NFT Bark profile serving the, the goodest boys and girls we've created are, you know, our, our sidebar here. And yes. So like, if you click these three, you can download the, or if you click the little hamburger over here, you can download your code, right? So now I've just downloaded this HTML. So if I go and put this in a, you know, a code,
or like a VS code or something like that, you can actually recreate this exact same thing. So when you think about that, right? Like, okay, this thing is making things come to life before my eyes in terms of a website. And I can kind of have this back and forth reflexive conversation with it until I get something that I'm really excited
in love with or the functionalities that I need, etc, etc. And then you can literally just download the code and deploy it yourself. Right? Isn't that wild? Well, that's the interesting thing, right? You can play like the obviously, you know, the your first pass at this, like when we were when you first put in Twitter for dogs calm, it was a very basic one. Now we've added sidebar. And I mean, this is very like, beginner level stuff.
As you learn how to kind of use the prompts properly and, and really kind of understand the full scope of what this can actually do. You could spend, you know, an hour, two hours and really have something pretty in depth, I think.
A hundred percent. So let's try something different. So this is, this is a fun little novelty trick, right? But like you said, let's try to see if we could do something that works. What if I did something like audio dot visualizer and just see what happens. I like the URL or like the URL style. Cause then there's a little bit of a randomness to it as well. Yes. Cause it's just kind of,
Here's what I interpret as what you're saying, right? So I wonder, wow. Okay, so I've got a play button here. I've got to choose audio file here. And let's see kind of what else, if there's anything else. It looks like it's done here. But what happens if I click play? Oh, wow. Okay, so when I click choose audio file, my...
My stuff came up, like my folder came up and I can actually upload something. So I'm going to see if I can do that. I don't know if it actually worked or not, but I chose... Oh, look at that. Holy shit. Can you hear that? I can hear it. Yeah, absolutely. Dude, that's freaking wild. Your voice sounds wild though. Okay.
Is it changing your voice also? Or is that what your voice sounds like? No, I think that's what my... Well, I don't know. I can't hear what you're hearing. I can hear what I'm hearing. It sounds fine to me, but I'm not sure. But okay, so now we've got this. Now there's another thing that you could do here. So people can create like plugins, right? And save them and share them, right? So like if you found a plugin or something that you really liked, you could...
add that to your specific website, right? So let's say- So like the one you were showing me earlier, like the trading one, if I created say like a Bitcoin type site and I wanted some trading view, I could add those to what I'm creating. Is that what you're saying? Yeah. So like here, you can find somebody's plugin, you use their username and then you backslash with the actual, you know, whatever their website
Their plugin was called, I don't remember what this one is. I just had it saved. So I'm going to see what it does here. I don't really remember exactly. Oh, there you go. Look at this. Oh, so now I can see all the code. This is cool. I knew I saved it for a reason. Now I had choose audio file, run, stop.
Now I can see all of the code. So I saw a wild, we'll get to some more examples in a second, and then I'll kind of just walk through again, step-by-step how to kind of start doing this. Right. So, um,
One of the crazy examples that I saw was somebody created the snake game like we did a couple weeks ago. And they actually fed the code back to it. So...
the snake could understand what was happening and the snake was telling you why it was making moves and talking like it was a real snake. It was fucking nuts. Okay. Yeah, dude, it was crazy. I'll try to find that demo, but okay. So first, but let's, before we start sharing some more examples here,
Here's basically what you want to do. And I'll throw this up from our friend, Louis Pecan, who created this insane 35 page total mega prompting guide here. And we want to, I can't find it. Hold on. Is this Mr. Pecan's?
Here, while you do that, I'm going to show you some stuff that I've put together. Here, I got it. Or do you have it? Yeah, I got it. So he put together at lulipicon.com. Go check it out. He put together this incredible 35-page killer prompt guide for all this. So this is...
how you can kind of get an understanding of the basic structure. So as we said, when using WebSIM, you'll be either providing URLs or using natural language to actually prompt these things. So just like we did, websim.ai slash web.
whatever the heck you want to create. You can add those parameters, but basically here's your step-by-step guide to get started with this at a very beginner level. So you're thinking of any idea, you're constructing that kind of base URL,
followed by the path that represents your idea. So for example, let's see, he's got websim.ai slash virtual classroom, and then something like that would pop up. Let's see what happens in my background if I go and create that, and I'll share it in a second while I talk through this.
So then you can add parameters to the URL and provide additional context or instructions. So websim.ai slash virtual classroom. And then you can add those themes, futuristic and education, all of those things. Wow, this is wild. Look what this just did for me.
Hold on. Look at what this one just came up as. So this just created, this was the virtual classroom prompt. So you've got students, you've got videos, share screen, leave class. Insane. It's kind of like Zoom, right? And then you can actually, so after you add those parameters, if you wanted to, so let's use the one he did here and see what that gives us.
You can submit your URL to WebSIM and obviously it'll generate the site. You can explore the generated website following the links. You can navigate, you can add all of this stuff. So this is a...
like sky's the limit stuff. And then you can get really, really, really in depth here. Um, like he's building an entire like multilingual translation system. Look at this. Yeah. Isn't that crazy? This is unbelievable. Yeah. Um,
Super cool. So like, I want to try this one. He's got something in here that says embrace serendipity, uh, occasionally throw in a surprising or contrasting URL element to spark creative connections, um, using like random words, et cetera. So he's got, uh, hold on one second. He's got quantum coffee blends. Okay. Let's see what this one's going to do.
I'm very interested to see what your brain came up with. It's not going to be quantum coffee blends, but that's very good. So he's got quantum coffee. And look at this thing. This is pretty cool. The Mozart roast. Symphony aroma, time warp flavor. Wow. Very cool. Add to cart. So you could create... I wonder if this works. Maybe. That button doesn't work, but I bet you if you did the next...
prompt of that, you could get it to work, right? So this, we will post a link to this prompting guide that he created because it's pretty insane and will get you way more than just started. You'll be able to create a ton of really cool stuff. Chamber, let's see what you create. So this is the most recent one here.
I'm like, well, what would be fun? I'm like, oh, let's do like a, I said, I wanted a sketch generator for I Think You Should Leave with Tim Robinson.
So what it does is it generates an idea and then you can generate a script from it. So the first one here is a man insists, I thought this was good. A man insists on bringing his own hot dog to a fancy restaurant. And I'm like, I like that idea. So then you can go and click generate script.
Well, first of all, hold on. That is so on brand for an, I think that was, that was the first one. So you go, uh, a man insists on bringing it and it gives you, uh, it gives you the full script, you know, uh, extremely fancy restaurant nighttime. The restaurant is dimly lit with crystal chandeliers, white tablecloths, uh, a
Dave and Sarah approach the maitre d'. Dave is holding a paper bag. Maitre d' says, good evening. Do you have a reservation? Sarah says, yes, under Thompson for 8 p.m. Maitre d' noticing the bag. I'm sorry, sir, but outside food is not permitted in our establishment. Dave, oh, this? It's just my hot dog. I always bring my own hot dog to restaurants. Okay.
Which you can hear. You can hear it. Like this is bang on. Bewildered. I'm afraid I can't allow that, sir. We have a strict policy. Interrupting. Listen, pal. I've got a rare condition where I can only eat my own specially prepared hot dogs. It's a whole thing. You don't want to discriminate against someone with a medical condition, do you? So yeah. So it gives you the full sketch.
So you can go back to the generator.
And then I think you just click that button and it just generates ideas over and over again. So I thought that was fun. So it says click to generate button. The next one, the birthday party. - I wonder if you went to the top and said, add images of Tim Robinson or something. - So do I put it in just like right here? - Yeah, I would just do, take the slash away and just say, add Tim Robinson images or something.
I don't know. Let's see what happens. To the background. Because I love the iterative, recursive process that you can do here to like...
beef up the design like let's see if this works i have no clue if it will this is totally unrehearsed unscripted and we're just i literally just came up with this like five minutes before the show started that seemed to not have work we're not experts here yet that's okay though but oh wait what something is happening what is that is tim robinson with a bill will oh there it is oh shit oh
It's like AI Tim Robinson. It's not actually Tim Robinson. This is terrific. Dude. A man refuses to stop doing. Oh, my God. I love how they just are like floating around. This is great. They just move randomly. Oh, my God. Another idea. Does it generate different pictures?
But yeah, so I thought this was fun. It took me forever to figure out where everything was held. I did the same thing. Okay, so tell the people where it's held because you asked me this. Forever. You literally just have to take your arrow and move it to the side and then the side pops up for you. So you can do all your history here as well.
Did you create any other cool ones? Cool ones? Yeah. Like I did a, this one's fun. I actually, I really like this. Like Bitcoin TA for beginners. Oh, look at you. Whoa. Look at you. All right. I feel like that's not an accurate chart, but you know, trade with, you know, I think I said include trading different trading philosophies. So you got, that goes in there. Yeah.
Um, there's a resource. What's, uh, what's scanning across the top? Uh, this part here.
Like up top, there was a ticker and it was actually working. Oh, go ahead. Oh, right there. Yeah. Oh, this is, it just says like Bitcoin. It's just news about Bitcoin. It says breaking Bitcoin reaches new all time high, which is not accurate. But yeah, I thought that one was pretty cool. I also did like, I asked my daughter to help me out. We did a,
Brookhaven secret location. So it's a website. So Brookhaven is a game. Oh, is this like what you're talking about? Oh, that's a game. It's a game within Roblox. And within that specific Brookhaven game, there's secret areas where you can find. So I just said to compile all the secret areas and describe where they are. So there was that one. So like there's the hidden bunker, secret rooftop garden. So like that kind of thing.
Some of these are wild. So like, okay, let's go give people an idea of how advanced these things could get, right? I also did a Lost breakdown as well, like the TV show Lost. Oh, I like this. Is that a map of all the stations? Yeah, the Hydra station, the Others Village.
the beach, the hatch, the temple. But yeah, and then all of the seasonal breakdowns there as well. This is awesome. I mean, there's so many actual real world use cases for this, but you could also see like, you could, Chamber, kind of create this
simulated version of what is the internet to chamber, right? And you can share this stuff and it's really, really nice. Because once you publish them, you can then send the link to people and then they can play around with it. So here we've got, um,
This is, I went to the top of the month, right? So you can see here, this one is published by someone named Restless Willow. It's got 519 likes and over 20,000 views. Let's see what it does. It says interdimensional cable TV. So like, oh, wow. Okay. Okay. Okay. Let's do a random channel.
And it is going to... Does this work? That looks like Adrian Brody with no eyes. I feel like that is Adrian Brody. I feel like my ability to pick out Adrian Brody out of a crowd is unmatched.
this is insane this is a fever dream i'm like shocked that this thing can actually work is this sandstorm the music video yeah are you i could just watch this i don't know if this is the actual music video
I have no idea what this actually is, right? But I mean, that's the thing. Like that's, that's one, that's the top viewed thing this month. There's plants versus zombies, which is an actual probably working game. Here you've got a sound font keyboard. Okay. I don't know what this does, but it probably works. Are you using the keys like E-A-F-D-G? Oh, I didn't even think of that.
Yes, I am. Okay, E works. Only E works, it seems. That is pretty cool, though. Super cool. I could select... Oh, look at this. Oh, you want to hear a little glockenspiel? Sure. I woke up this morning. I'm like, it'll be a good day if I can hear some glockenspiel. Hell yeah. It looks like I could record. I could play. I could stop. I don't know what this does. What does this do? Oh, changes keys and octaves, I guess.
Wow. Okay. The glockenspiel. Should we, there's a random button up here. Should we try that? Yeah. Random. All right. And then this will be the last thing that we do. Oh, what is this? Look at this. Oh, am I trying to outrun this thing? There's a score. Yeah. I don't know how you're supposed to get away. Uh, I think I'm going to try to pick to get inside the biggest bubble. Oh, I see. I don't know. I feel like that. Shit.
Dude, this is insane. All right. So that is web sim.ai. Check it out. We will definitely link to Louie's, uh, incredible prompting guide here, um, in the show notes, but also check out Louie pecan or pecan, whichever you choose.com to get access to this. Thanks Louie for letting us share this today. Super, super fun. Uh,
We've got about 10 minutes left. By the way, if you create, if you listen to this and start playing around with anything on WebSim, trying to get yourself some really cool creations, share them with us because I'm super interested in how...
freaking weird i'm sure all of you really really are when nobody is policing your internet right and the internet is your creation in your mind how weird do you get uh pain over there trying to generate us a hawk to an interview on web sim and actually you know what we should have done uh i got one more experiment here and while we're while we switch gears
Okay, Chamber. So you've got a new segment. Let's do it. I do have a new segment. So I'll give you a little background first. Wait, wait, wait. No, no, no. I want to hear the drop first, and then I want to hear you explain it. So this is our new segment. Chamber, enter the drop.
Okay, so this is called What's Too Many. What's Too Many. Okay. What's Too Many. 5, 10, 15, 20. What's Too Many. I was just out for a walk. I don't know. I think it was yesterday I dropped it in there.
And I was listening to an audio book. Yeah, you came into our chat and just said, what's too many? And I was like, what is he talking about? I was out in the middle of the forest with very little cell reception. I also consumed some edibles prior to going. And if you're like me, I forget things really, really quickly. So I had this high idea.
and I wanted to get it down. I didn't have any paper to jot it down, so I went right into our chat, and I put in what's too many. And the reason I did that, I was listening to an audio book, and in the book, this kid is talking about how he ate, I think, seven hot dogs because it was summertime, and he was excited. When he was a kid, he sat down and ate seven hot dogs. I'm like, that's too many hot dogs to eat. And I started thinking, I'm like,
what's too many hot dogs? And, uh, and then I, I really, you know, I, because of, uh, my, my, the, you know, where my mind was with the edibles, I really couldn't stop thinking about it. And then I'm like,
what's too many of a lot of things? And then I started thinking, I'm like, what's too many, you know, what's too many mosquitoes? Because I was walking by a river and there was mosquitoes. I'm like, two mosquitoes is too many mosquitoes. And so, and then I started thinking, I'm like, right? Like two mosquitoes is too many mosquitoes. So then, but I want to know what too many hot dogs was for you. What's too many hot dogs. So are we talking one sitting? Yeah. Not a contest. Okay. Just like dinner. Yeah.
What's too many hot dogs? Four. Four is too many? Yeah. I think five is too many. I regularly eat three. I don't disagree. Three standard size hot dogs is normal. I think four, if you want to go a little nuts, but five is too many. That's where I fell on it. You think three is normal, huh? I think three is above average.
Like I think two is average. One is below average amount of hot dogs. I think three is above average. And I think four is like, okay, that's the maximum amount of hot dogs of standard size hot dog, not Costco hot dogs. Cause I think once you convert to Costco hot dogs, it's like two hot dogs. Like after two, I think three is too many Costco hot dogs. Would you agree there?
How many? Three? Three is too many Costco hot dogs. Yes. I think two is like, okay, that's a lot.
but then three is too many. Okay. So I'm saying four is too many hot dogs for me. I regularly eat. I regularly eat three, like a dinner setting for me on a hot dogs would be like, I'm definitely having two. I'm likely having three and four. I feel like that first one doesn't even count. Like first one's like, yeah, let's have everybody else do it. Yeah. The Carver hot dog back, you know?
I love how, by the way, that hot dog was the first topic that the generator generated. Of course it is. Totally not planned. So I have no idea how it knows. I have no idea how it knows. So I think, I think going forward, uh, we do what's too many. Uh,
And it could be we could do a couple of different ways where we generate random words. My thought was like, oh, we could just generate three random words and we can either pick the same word or each pick our own word and then explain why X amount of that word is too many. And then we can have debates on whether or not it's it's that number is correct or not.
I love it. I love it. I like the random word generator. We could actually also use... Here's how we should do it. We should create a little AI prompt in one of these either ChatGPT or...
Claude. We could create one in. Oh my God. Web sim. What's too many.com on Web sim. This is what we're going to do. Okay. So for next week, we will bring up, by the way, not sponsored by Web sim, but you know, hit us up, my man. Like, come on. They gave us a retweet by the way. So, okay, good, good, good. The, uh,
The, yeah, okay, we'll do whatstomany.com for WebSim. We'll actually try to create a working version of this in which it gives us the, you know, the object and we respond with the number. What would be really cool is like if you could share that and people who did it and then it kept like a tally of like how many people said what number.
That's a good point. Yes. All right. So we're going to try to create this. Chamber, do you want to take the first crack at it? I think this is- I will. So again, I'm going to be away next week, but maybe this is something I can work on while I'm on the beach. Yeah. You can start. It's iterative. Yeah. I think so. I like that. I think this is what we're going to do. What's too many? I like this. It is the birth of a new segment. Welcome to the world. What's too many? I like it.
We will get one minute of pain coming up soon and we will ask him what's too many. But before we get there, we got I got two more things. One, while you were while we were talking about what's too many, I thought it would be fun to try and create mid mic crisis podcast dot com. And here's what here's what it gave us. So we've got our little microphone up here where comedy meets technology. I didn't tell it.
that we were a comedy. I feel like it's known that internet. I guess what's up. I guess so. And then I tried to have it add our logo here. Um, I gave it that and it created this. I think that's pretty cool. That,
That is very cool. Yeah, I agree. About the show. Welcome to Mid-Mic Crisis Podcast explores the hilarious intersection of comedy and technology. Join our host, veteran comedian Jake Miller and tech enthusiast Sarah Chen as they navigate the wild world of modern humor in the digital age. I doubt these buttons work, but I bet you you could get this to play random audio. Oh, yeah. You know?
Maybe we'll try to work on this as well. But subscribe, and it's got your Spotify, your Apple Podcasts, Google, Stitcher, et cetera. This is better than I could have done, that's for sure. What do you think? 100%, yeah, this is great. All right. And then last but not least, I've got some dad talk. Well, let's do it. Dad talk! Dad talk! It's time for some dad talk!
All right.
I like how we have a nice, uh, the drops are all different types of music. I think we don't, we don't just stick to one. Oh yeah. I like, I like that too. I mean, we're multifaceted here. Many facets we have. Yes. So many facets. Um, some of, some have said that we're the most faceted podcast. I've heard it. I've heard it. Lots of fact, the biggest, the most, the many facets, huge, huge facets. Um, the, uh,
Okay, so my dad talk today, we're basically following my parenting life of my three and a half year old. Yeah.
We are on to, so we had the Spider-Man and the Spider-Man letter, et cetera, et cetera, about the listening. Von Fronten says, what's too many facets? Great question. Chamber, how many? There is no number. Unlimited. I agree. Infinity facets. Infinity facets. That's right. So yesterday, how...
My son decided he really wanted a new toy, a very specific new toy. And, um,
I would say that up until this point in his life, he has been spoiled. Yeah, no, I agree. I feel the same way about my children. Yeah, they get a lot of what they want kind of whenever they want. Do they ever not get what they want? I feel like that's where I'm at. I'm like, they just always get what they want. I'm trying, right? I'm trying. And I think part of it is like,
you're trying to figure it out, right? You want to keep, you want them to be happy. You feel like you want to give them things and, uh, you know, be their best friends and all this stuff, but you also need to start teaching boundaries and all of this stuff. So he wants this toy and, um,
so we're, we've gone to the teaching of like, okay, we put up a chore chart and we're like, Hey, we, I want you to, I want you to have this thing, but I'm not just going to go buy it for you. So for the next week, uh,
If you, you know, eat your dinner every night and if you pick up your toys every night, we're going to do we're going to give you a sticker. And if he fills up with seven stickers, we're taking you to the store to buy your toy. And yeah. Yeah. Any idea what the toy is?
I was going to say like that. We've all attempted a system and I hope it works for you. Because the problem with any system is,
is a user error. It's us. It's the parents because the follow through on the system is never great. I had a whole accounting set up for my daughter and I just stopped tracking her income. And then, so I just said, screw it and just bought her whatever she wanted. What's the toy though? Is it a, I don't know. Like what could I, he's three and a half.
I'm impressed that you're making a three and a half year old do chores. Cause my six year old, I'm trying to just started doing chores, trying to teach how to do it. That's good. Cause there's, but so you're already doing better than me. You're already doing better than me. The young ones are very memetic, right? They see you using something and they want that thing. So the toy that he wants is a drill.
Like a drill. Like a tool, a drill, yes. Are you a handyman? He wants a drill just like mommy has.
That is, I mean, at least there's somebody in your house that knows what you're doing. Just like mommy has. And that is, that is it. So my wife, I came up from work from the basement yesterday and she shows me. She's got her tool belt on. Yes. She showed me all of the bookshelf things that she hung. She hung some shelving in our living room for her plants. And I,
I guess she was using the drill and then my kid wanted the drill. So he wanted a toy drill just like mommy has. I grew up in a mommy does stuff household. So my dad's terrible to this day at everything. My mom is very good at these types of things. My mom definitely has. You want a fake website? I'm your fucking guy. No.
You want a shelf? Go ask mom. Go ask mom. That's a mom thing. That's a mom thing. So that's the thing. I love it. Yeah. So last night was the first night. Ate his dinner, cleaned up his toys, got two stickers, and then he immediately ran to the door thinking there would be a package there for him. It's go time. Yeah. And that...
So we're now in the, no, you need to do this multiple times thing and try to teach him how to earn stuff and the value. And that's the dad talk for the week. So he wants a drill just like mommy. And he expected it immediately upon doing the first milestone of it. So yeah. I'm very impressed. Are we ready for pain? We are. One minute of pain incoming.
Here he is. You know him. You love him. Producer Payne in the house. Payne GM, how are you?
I'm doing well, doing great. I know Chamber is in a rush to get to horse stuff, so whatever question you got for me, hit me up. Well, the first one, and maybe only one, what's too many? Yeah, I was really thinking about it, and I think it is age-specific. When I was playing basketball all the time, probably like eight, nine.
Yeah. You're an animal. That's amazing. I'm impressed. I'm impressed with this number. I refuse chamber. You played basketball. I refuse. I agree. It didn't come with an eight pack of hot dogs at the end of every game though. I didn't know these things were correlated.
My post-game basketball meal was a half dozen hot dogs. Like, no, no problem. Hit a bucket, get a dog, get a dog. I like it. I like it. Why? It was a it was a Big Mac meal with two McChickens, you know, the fries and everything. That was my post. That was my post-game meal.
We used to do four McChickens and an iced mocha. That was the order that we had at McDonald's back in those days. Four McChickens and an iced mocha for like $7. I was going to say that cost you, you know, 20 bucks now. I spent $60 this weekend at McDonald's. I'm not even joking. Stop. $60. I didn't know that was possible. Three kids and two adults. All up the dollar, man. And one of the kids.
only had fries at a drink. Wow. That's nuts. Okay. Well, all right. We got eight hot dogs from pain. That's wild. What's your current? Yeah. What's today?
I'm with bunch. Four is too many. Four. Okay. It's come a long way. You've come a long way. Chamber, these could also go out as polls on Twitter. So you should take all of our answers today. Eight, four, and five. What did you say? That's too many. What's too many hot dogs? Eight, four, or five. I love it. And then, okay, last question for you, Payne.
Thoughts on WebSim and are you going to go create something?
Web sim is absolutely amazing. I would, I did try to create a little bit of a Hawk to a interview. It did not, it did not go great. Yeah. She's not that viral yet. I thought, I thought maybe she, she would penetrate the web semi. Yeah. All right. Chambers being called for horse stuff. That's knocking on the door. Yeah. I mean, she's ready. Who the horse or your daughter? I'm not sure. It might be, uh,
My daughter, she's looking for a half a dozen hot dogs before we go on this back riding. That was one minute of pain. And this has been the Mid-Mic Crisis. Until next time, keep the mic hot. What have I become? I can't describe this.
This is my mid-mic crisis.
