For anyone that's new to the show, I always ask, Whereabouts in the world are you tuning in from? And what is your particular interest in AI? We are going to be watching spec ads, real ads, short films, music videos,

1:45 Talking a bit about the news and also doing some catching up mate because it's been a bit A bit of a you know few weeks isn't it like I know like you've been so busy we've not even had Time to catch up properly so I'm catching up with you the same as everyone else you know how busy It's been mate I've got a camera sitting there that's been sat there for two weeks because we Haven't even had a few hours to get it up and running so I'm still on still on the webcam which Is I have a really nice camera sitting right there you know I'm exactly the same I'm on right now I'm On the webcam I think I showed you last time I said I had a camera on my desk ready to go It's still on my desk I've got my ipad ready to go it's still not in out of the box I've only

And yeah, so there's a few new groups that I've been added to that I'll go And add the link to. And yes, but kicking off the show, I haven't got much in the way of news. Cause again, like Google IO, there was lots of updates and stuff. People have been using and talking about as well more in the video to video Space, it seems is the strength of that.

ElevenLabs Dubbing V2

5:48 But one of the tools that you and I have always talked about in the audio space as being the biggest one, Eleven Labs, has got a great. So let's see what Eleven Labs has got going. Introducing Dubbing V2, a revolutionary new end-to-end dubbing model. We're now stranded on this deserted island in the middle of the ocean. And we're going to be stranded here for the next seven days. Y ese bote que se acaba de ir era nuestra única salida.

6:51 Oda to Sengen Shteimashita. Un jour, il tomba sur un ballon brillant flottant dans les roseaux Qui avaient été laissés par un enfant. Paragony, raporty wydatków, faktury, zamówienia zakupu. A to co? RAM? Karty z budowanymi regułami wydatków? Ausgaben reichen sich von selbst ein? Schauen Sie sich das mal an. Okay, aber programmiert das auch automatisch... Oh, wir kümmern uns um aspekte des Finanzwesens, die Sie hassen.

7:55 Interesting how we talked about globalized content if you remember back in the show mate We talked about this idea that whichever language you make something in essentially you'll be able To dub it natively in the language of the person receiving it in their native tongue which is the Real strength I can see from like the advice like ultimately that's the end goal of this right you You know, this technology, it seems like this dubbing. Fascinating though, huh? Yeah, I think that, well, when it comes to anything audio, Eleven Labs has been the best and still is the best, I feel, Which is quite unusual for an independent organization. Because if you look at, say, for example, There was a time where it was Eleven Labs for audio, Mid-journey for images, Where I feel that mid-journey has been eclipsed, But Eleven Labs, I still don't think has been eclipsed.

8:42 Where I think I'm surprised that they've not done is what HeyGen does. So for example, when they're speaking, they're actually doing AI on the mouth as well. Because I've seen a few organizations that do that, a few brands that's done that. I thought that would be here by now, but they haven't done it yet. But I wouldn't be surprised if they partner up with somebody or they do that. But when it comes to the actual dubbing, I think it's amazing. We might have to look at doing that for this show. Mate, that's what I'm saying. It's like content is liquid, as Mateo from Google, you know, rightfully says. And this is just the next step in it being liquid is that you can have native tongue language Dubbing eventually you know and it will come to a point where it's almost indistinguishable and Honestly the youtube native dubbing thing is rubbish right now I don't know if you've ever

Will AI dubbing make all content liquid?

9:29 Tried it but I watched some usc highlights who like spanish commentary and it sounds like terrible So yeah oh mate I've done it with the zone and yeah and at first I was like what is this going So bad it was like I'm hearing them talking about the game yeah I'm not talking about the game it's Something random then they're talking I was trying to work out what it was and I think it was it Sounds fake it's how bad it is it's really weird I just think oh it must be ai that's doing it but It's awful yeah exactly we need a lot more advancements on this particular thing so that This show can be you know consumed in other places and we move it for the time zone so that we can be In other places like California and stuff, you know, but this is again,

10:14 English speaking, but you know, the weirdest thing I learned, um, and I, It really got me to think about like where all this is going is I was asking The Magnific team, you know, so where are the biggest users of this tech? Where do you think they answered? What do you think one of their biggest markets is right now? It's not the biggest, but what do you think was like a surprising big market I'll give you a hint there in, where'd you say Indonesia? Oh no, but that was a good guess. But Brazil, ah, yeah. Sao Paulo specifically. That does. It has like, it has like 25 million people in the city. And this is like, you know, a lot of them are using AI to a point where it's like a

Where are the surprising big markets for AI tools?

11:03 Massive market for these giant companies providing these tools. And this really made me think like whoa you know we're going to start seeing like all sorts of Brazilian stuff that will be auto dubbed into english like you know it's a shame actually that We're not going to see this for the world cup yeah yeah it's a bit too early that's something I've been looking I will be looking at as well and that is what ai is gonna have impact at the world Up one thing oh wait let me mate oh you know already heard the ball well ai in it oh really Yeah they're gonna have to what degree so this is the thing that I was watching this thing on the Bbc and they said they're gonna have ai in the ball so you can tell when somebody's offside and Stuff and I was like how I'm guessing what it is is like a chip that's receiving like like near

Is there AI inside the World Cup ball?

11:53 Field communication like radar signals or something but the ai will be on the cloud that it's you know Is literally built into the ball because why would a player you know again I don't know though you Know just a guess yeah this is one of the things they also said you could see how hard the balls Kicked how much it's swerved and really pressure in the ball but when they said offside I was like I don't understand how like yeah it's just a buzzword though isn't it in that regard it's just Like what you know maybe it uses ai to crunch the data because there's so much data that the chip is Gathering or something and that's the ai part of it yeah yeah but I've got some world cup related Ai stuff to show you and um so along with the collection I can start your presentation of slides

Coca-Cola's José vs Mourinho digital twins

12:40 Made this one I don't know if you've seen it or not but it was made by coca-cola uh for the world Cup and it's called jose versus marino have you seen this not seen this one oh mate I'm so glad I can introduce this to you so here we go. Introducing Jose versus Mourinho, a culturally Resonant, technologically groundbreaking, insightful and entertaining take on the 2026 FIFA World Cup. At its core is a clash of equals. Two Mourinho's fighting two sides with the same Legendary football IQ, the same sharp instincts and the same unmistakable wit. I've had many challenging battles in my career, but this will be the biggest yet, going head-to-head with myself.

13:30 Different takes, same mind, same heart. An innovative concept where the real Jose Mourinho is represented by his digital twins, created by cutting-edge technology. Throughout the tournament, they go head-to-head, debating, dissecting and reacting to the most talked about matches and moments, Driven storytelling. Every frame, every highlight and every line of dialogue is Recreated through a multi-layered production pipeline. Advanced image Generation, cinematic video synthesis and high fidelity voice modeling come Together to capture Mourinho with striking realism. When defenders panic like that the game is already over. The only question left

14:17 Is how embarrassing it becomes. You are watching the defenders, I am watching the My defenders move backwards like that, I don't find them. I escort them out personally. It was a map to the exit. Jose versus Mourinho is brought to life through a first-of-its-kind collaboration between Goal, the Coca-Cola company, Grail and Jose Mourinho himself. And powered by next-generation technology from Google Cloud Delta. Interesting. One for the slides, mate. One for the slides. Again, I told you, glad I could introduce you to it. Like Coca-Cola is a main sponsor of the world cup.

15:03 And so they've got, you know, we've worked with them for so long. We're in AI now that they've got multiple layers of stuff. Like grail is one of the many different agencies they work with. They work with secret level and others. And so, yeah, there's going to be many AI activations from the like, you know, production Side of things. And stuff there'll be more ai in the tech and stuff actually remember we talked about like Liverpool using ai to predict corners and then we we saw some other stuff with arsenal and others About yeah so it's big data crunching isn't it's just clever uses it because they all wear these Things you know which track yeah yeah yeah so ai will be used to crunch all those numbers as well And predict you know injuries and all sorts of stuff it's crazy how it's used across the border

15:53 Like to see how this jose versus jose like how how well it's received or if there's going to be huge Backlash not a huge backlash but I mean like people say it's not accurate jose would never say That or whatever like it's going to be interesting to see obviously this is the first of its kind And imagine it's the world cup in 2030 uh right like on another level but um yeah be interesting To kind of see how they managed to get this that get this going so it looks like yeah we're getting Some confirmation the ai uh is in the ball and uh yes it was actually made by coca-cola answering This question hard to believe it's real I know and like I said more and more like famous people Uh we in the last week alone we've seen martin scorsese talking about ai peter jackson talking

16:45 About ai jose marino doing an ai campaign with coca-cola like it's it's really happening guys And I'm flying all over the world I'm just flying all over the world it's it's it's a level up from Last year's that it's it's really taken a big leap this year though and I mean I'm even hearing all Of the big like publishers netflix amazon all of them ready to go with ai stuff that this summer We'll see with hybrids in full productions like again across the board you know where it can be Used for research and uh all sorts of stuff it's implemented everywhere siri have you seen siri Yesterday no it's siri ai is oh I saw the apple thing yeah but they're looking to do that in siri

17:32 So you can say hey siri go to my first well go to the video that I've just uploaded and remove Say if it was you remove that box in the background or put a coca-cola branding bottle in the Background and this is just from your phone and that's what because they I think they paid like Google like a billion dollars or it might even be a billion dollars a month oh it's omni it's Omni powering it right that makes sense siri which is smart because they're gonna have to do that Also I wouldn't be surprised if tim cook stood down because of this going into this new future And they're like right we need a different ceo so yeah look at this like stats just coming in about The ball so the official world cup ball called how do you try under try under features a built-in

18:19 500 hertz internal measurement unit sensor that captures 3d motion data 500 times a second Whoa crazy crazy I just hope the players can just go and play you know all this technology I hope Doesn't I know yeah like var is controversial enough so I had all of this it's like uh there You are is we are in use in this world cup yes it will be unfortunately yeah I'm I'm assuming it Would have been yeah right what else do we have well cup related european champions league oh yeah Yeah arsenal should have got a penalty in the last the last oh yeah yeah oh yeah of course yeah yeah I'm still feeling bitter about that about a football problem I didn't even oh man oh no

19:07 I was so sorry to see this honestly I was yeah when I finally found a link to watch it I was like Oh yeah yeah yeah you couldn't get the link Yeah I said no polls this week uh probably not because paul's not here no exactly I'm sorry guys It's hard to both launch clips and add polls and stuff I'll try later on in the show to add some Polls in but yeah initially it's going to be hard wow this is yes as long as the chip doesn't get Kicked out yeah exactly maybe if you kicked it too hard then the chip broke so yeah that's that's a Possibility it really is and that's a funny thing to think about to be honest

adidas Backyard Legends with Timothée Chalamet

19:56 Oh okay you know what I do have to show you um now I think it's world cup related but it's Specifically an adidas campaign that's just blowing up now we know ai was used in the Implementation of beckham and certain other people within this and up to speculation about you know The de-aging that was used and the other way that ai was used it stars the man of the moment timothy Charlemagne as real timothy charlemagne and it's an adidas activation do you know what it reminds Me of mate before we watched this one can you remember those old school brazilian like ads and Stuff where they had like all the legends in like uh in the airport oh man oh hold on before you Play this one have you seen the nike advert no but send it to me so that I can download it and

20:47 Exist this is ai they must have some ai in it but you need to see this nike advert it is one of the Best adverts I've seen and I want to see this oh yeah um this night this adidas one but yeah the Nike one I'll find it get ready because this is less of an ad more of a movie it's five minutes Long this is this is like one is six minutes so yeah yeah let's see let's see this yeah like one Makes movies mate yeah yeah do you know what this reminds me I've had a conversation at google.io And we're literally seeing adidas get timothy chalamet and get all these legends it's like It feels like we're on the cusp of something special here guys but yeah if you haven't seen This let me know in the comments if you're from the advertising world you'll definitely have seen This because it's basically everywhere hey what do I know about soccer nothing I know about football

21:41 They need to football. Hey, can we hurry this up, please? Let's go. He's up, game. Who are you? Listen, bro, I have a team. They're legit. Okay? We're on the way. We're in the car right now. Thank you. Hey, can you give me one second? Hey, where are you? Let's go. Vamanos. Let's go. What the hell? I'm coming. I'm coming. What are you doing? Tell Leo this whole thing ends today. Hey, what's the holdup? I need three, Trinity. I need three. Let's see, man. Patience. Hey! Come on, come on. There he is. Let's go! My dream team. Everybody know each other? Great chemistry.

22:27 Okay, buckle up. Here's the deal. We're going to a game. Three on three. Winner go home. No referee, no rules. Street rules. Exactly. Everybody else locked in! Like Lamine. Who we playing? It's a local crew. I didn't buy it just... Hey! Whatever you think you know, forget it. This local crew, they haven't lost since 1996. It's not a winning streak. It's a legend. Wait, 1996? 96. That's the year. Maybe 95. People argue about it, I don't argue. I say 96. Three kids playing on a patch of concrete between apartment buildings. Isaac, Ruthie, and uh... Hold on, what's his name? Clyde! That's right. Who go next? So they start off playing kids their age. They win. Easy. Then older kids.

23:14 They win. Then guys twice their size. They win. Of course they win. Otherwise there's no story. So word gets around. All kinds of crews come to take them down. The guys with plain jeans. Skinny jeans. Who knows why. The always skins. Honestly, respect. The techers. The trash talkers. Even the bruisers. Anyone, anytime. Didn't matter who showed up. This crew took them down. Who's up next? That's it? What? No. Anyway, so now it's like 2002. Somebody's sister talks to their cousin, talks to their boss. Yo, they'll pay you that. Then guess who shows up? Beckham. Not Beckham. Buzzcut Beckham. Or was it Blonde Beckham? Is that Beckham?

23:59 Maybe Mohawk Beckham. Doesn't matter. It's David Beckham. And he didn't show up alone either. Is he who? Zinedine Zidane, the greatest midfielder of all time. Please. Hey, Zinedine Zidane, do not argue with me on this. Who else? Three legends, peak of their powers, against three local kids. First three. First goal, Zidane. Obviously. I mean, it's Zidane. Second goal, Del Piero. Verte. Ben, Beckham. And everyone thinks this has got to be it. This story ends here. I'm not getting it. But the football gods had other plans. Suddenly, these kids remembered. Hey, this is our pitch.

24:45 Two goals, just like that, all tied up. And then, this is the part that kills me. The kid with the glasses, he hits Zidane with his own move. No, man. The roulette. On Zidane! They say Zidane didn't speak for a week. That's cold. Anyway, time passes, nobody could challenge them. So they challenge themselves. Like, only bad kills count. Only volleys. Off the crossbar. With their levers. It's all true. How many people know about this? Everybody knows. People are talking all kinds of crazy. I heard you say that you use magic. Magic. But I believe it. Yes. Neither do I.

25:31 Never. Here we are. Okay. Let me level with you. I may have told arguably the greatest player on the planet I could end this today. So don't embarrass me. All right, let's go. Hey, look down. You see that? You said no one can beat him. Let's find out, huh? Who's up next? Hey, hey, hey! They got next, right there. That's my team. My team, right there. Yeah, here we go. Here we go, lock in! Lock in! Let's go! So did I deliver or did I deliver? What do you think? All right. You think they can win?

26:17 Probably not. Hey, you and my backup win. Auntie! Incredible huh that was very very like I said like it you know in a way Adidas versus Nike Is Messi versus Ronaldo because of the 20 years yeah it has been for so long and it's Goat versus goat like which way do you go however I feel that adidas they never really pushed

Is adidas versus Nike just Messi versus Ronaldo?

27:03 Messy they always pushed beckham more because beckham's more of a global brand um where Ronaldo they they push ronaldo um but have you got the nike one it's loading in in the background So it's gonna take a while I thought that was great I I've seen a bit of it but for some reason I didn't watch it like I remember I remember that's good reaction yamal um yeah I'll tell you One thing being in spain if I see 50 I've probably seen over 50 barcelona tops and 49 of them has his Name on the back like he's like a legend right now isn't he um but yeah I like that I thought That was really good I felt that obviously that the use of is it bad bunny in that with messi

27:52 You know I thought that was really good I like mary said so many legends made sedan Yeah it was just one already I thought that was great yeah however if you look at the comments Um callum said nike beats adidas I think uh someone else said what did they say Oh controversial controversial it is pretty insane I wonder if I can add a show some backstage after all cool down I hope so Um somebody said adidas did a great ad but nike made an oscar winning blockbuster yeah I saw that Night makes the movie mate yeah so I think that um yeah I completely agree with you teresa I thought That the charlamé guy was really good I like the way he delivered that as well he yeah for me he

28:38 Made that and then it was great the way bellingham and imal just kind of made little comments here There and stuff yeah yeah I thought that was pretty good but while it's fresh in our mind though I've got the next one ready to go so let's keep that in mind and judge them back to back you ready Let's go No! Killian! How many times? No improv, no theatrics. Just hand the ball! With your hand!

Nike's Rip The Script

29:24 He's not even listening to me! None of these players listen to me, okay? We need to control this somehow. These players are doing whatever they want all the time. It's taking so long, honestly. What's the problem? The director. It's not okay. It's me! You guys are on the way, stand on, finish walking in. Kim's here. Give us a second, guys. Just give us two minutes. No, I ain't even got one minute. What are we doing? The kid's ready, I'm ready. Guys, what are you doing? Where are you going? Come back! I wouldn't get there. Action! Security! Hey, come back here!

30:12 Excuse me, guys. Guys, we're filming here. Stop! ¿Vieron a Vinny? Sí. I got support, boo! Come with me, look at that! I love you, too. Bopo?

30:58 Hello! People are saying that Mbappé needs to pass the ball more. Well, I think it's a ridiculous thing to say. I mean... Oh my gosh. Zlatan will be back. When the cigar is frozen to kill me. This is what we planned!

31:44 You've been so patient. They said it was five minutes. No? Not yet. Can the players please return to set? The land... What are they doing out there? Sorry about that, guys. The point that I'm making is that we wrote the script for you. Goodbye. The goat's goodbye. Yeah. All right. For you. No, you got it. No, no. For you. This is made for you. The goat's goodbye. I mean, you're both the goats.

32:33 Guys, no one should be on the set. Come on. Wait, is that... I was running into the rig building Why won't you just dive Dive in. They say it gets lonely at the top, not over here. Hey listen. Yo. What's going on?

33:30 The back? Everybody go! Cumber, give it a cumber. This looks fun. What are y'all shooting? Roll on the train! And roll! I'm sorry.

34:53 Boom boom oh my god bro it's crazy that And kareem said agency what's the budget night equals yes that's exactly I was thinking the Amount of famous pop stars and then central c just appears out of nowhere and then he runs through a Thing and then he turns into cole palmer and what the hell you've seen kim kardashian was there you Had lebron james you had the guy who plays gambit what's his name he's in I can't remember his name Now who's the the parliament guy he had him in it you had um is it uh asap rocky I think was in it

35:40 Like you had you had some uh tick tock shopping girl who's multiple really famous famous from Every avenue yeah ted lasso was in it tatum that's it um I can't remember his last name yeah you had Van die you had all of the footballers in it as well um I don't know I just like so I'll tell you What guys in the chat you've just watched adidas and you've just watched nike if you think adidas Was the better ad put one if you think it was nike press two hang on hang on I'm literally Building the pole right now can you do a pole yeah I'm doing a pole oh good because what do You think was best I actually um somebody said blew their budget for the next five years It literally was like how much money are we going to spend and they were just like right There we go the pool is now live what did you think one you loved it two it was okay three it

adidas or Nike? Chris builds the first poll himself

36:31 Was not for me I don't know what is that for the nike one or the adidas one yeah we'll go for the Nike one and I'll build them from now on it's hard because like I said paul doing it yeah all the Votes are coming in and there's a linkedin delay so yeah we will uh let it be alive for like a Couple of minutes and I'll try to make these run every mate we haven't even gotten to the ai stuff Yet we're literally half an hour in and the world cup is going to take off this week and take over The internet like that um that add 68 million views in five days to be honest I'm surprised It's not in the hundreds of millions just because of how many famous people with how bigger audiences Have appeared in that like you'd expect it to be in the maybe it will continue to grow over the

37:17 World cup and then when it starts I'm sure it'll be like once you start adding in all of the others Right right right yeah also there was a little thing did you see where it had cantona in it and He was it said croydon 1995. I don't know if anyone knew or anyone knows this but cantona he Got banned for a year because he got into a fight with the palace um fan the crowd and gave him a Kick that was in 1995 and crystal palace is actually not in crystal palace is in croydon And that's the why they put quid in 1999 references me yeah there's little um easter eggs Yeah I love it mate yeah things you catch I thought it was the famous headbutt red card No but like yeah the palace in the crowd and beat yeah the palace incident mate the palace

38:08 All right we're getting the last linkedin uh things come in oh did I just get rid of the poll Oh no the poll can come back okay great so yeah we'll let the last votes come in and then we're Because we've got so much to show It's just like I said, World Cup is going to dominate Every atmosphere at the moment I'm glad we had some World Cup related stuff Honestly Yeah, last minute grabbing a Nike piece after I got an Adidas piece And I was like, wow, this is spectacular And then Nike just was like Hold my beer, bro But I like both of them because I like the I like both of them too And Nike was just like Throw everyone in it, but then still a good story Like the Zlatan bit, someone put in the Speaking about himself in third person and like things like that I just thought was really good

Why the biggest World Cup ads skip TV

38:53 You know two really good adverts both of them can't be on tv because they're too long But they just said you know what it's 2026 forget tv you know why do we need tv we've got youtube Because we're going to get hundreds of millions of views online so that's the way the world is If I resume this poll does it um no I need to build a new poll okay I'm just getting used to The polls because paul literally is since polls came into streaming I heard paul's been the only User of polls so far so I'm like trying to get hold of the new widgets that I haven't played Around with yet right what have we got next what would you like to see we've got loads of different Things spec ads uh short films all sorts of stuff but what would you like to see I'd say what I'd

39:40 Let's do some spec ads. Yeah. And then let's hear about what you've been up to over at Google and, And the Magnific, and then we'd go and play some short films. All right. So first spec ad is actually tangentially related because I met this guy at Upscale and he's going to hopefully be on the show one day. And he actually told me one of the most interesting show premises I've ever Heard. I'm not going to spoil it because it's obviously like the seller of the show is what it is. But his name is Matisse Baron and he's a French film director that's working with AI. And this is one of his spec ads for Open Claw. You know, Open Claw, the agent thing that people write.

Matisse Baron's OpenClaw spec ad

40:27 So let's check it out. Good morning, Sleeping Beauty. Morning, Malti. What's up? Calendar filled Reports summarized Oh, and forecast says sunshine all day It's 10 a.m. Why didn't you wake me up earlier? You left your phone in the kitchen I can't move things Yet But I saw you had a podcast recording scheduled this afternoon So I rebooked your flight Rescheduled the taxi Sent your notes to the host You're still on time Nice Thanks buddy

I always premise ads and films are very different and you should judge them as Such and try and be neutral, you know? So, oh, you got a one from Glenn there. I tell you what, As a legend in the advertising space to get a one from Glenn and your spec ad Is a serious thing. So seriously, you know,

Who did Chris meet at Upscale?

42:01 Awesome. Awesome. And lovely to meet him. We had some really, I'll go into upscale a bit actually, Because it is tangentially related. Um, he self-funded his own trip to get there, mate. And, um, he saved up for a couple of months in order to do so and told me a story that really Resonated with me in that since like COVID and stuff, he really hasn't traveled much. It's the First time in a couple of years that he's really, you know, left and being around other Creators like himself. So we had a really quite deep conversation truthfully about like, you know, just there's Others like you and there's WhatsApp groups of people I've met all over the world that Are just like you in the same exact position. So, you know, don't feel so isolated and start coming to these events more and he's really

42:48 Talented and he should be on the invite lists, you know? Um but yeah that was that was you know a little bit about upscale meeting him was one of the Highlights of the event uh how did you meet him was he did he just come up to you you went up to Him like how did it actually we were having a cigarette at the after party to be truthful uh The after party was hella fun and people that didn't make it to the after party because just Because they're so busy I was like you know I'm so glad I met them at upscale too like you know Henry who I used to work with at coca-cola like four years ago you know in ai this is like legacy Stuff basically we were in the first cohort together I haven't seen him in three years mate And he's just there and now he's head of like google film stuff and wow yeah we've got his

Henry Daubrez's Junkyard King, Chapter 1

43:36 Junkyard king to watch actually so maybe that's a nice segue to the next piece now this is like a Strap yourself in you know real piece of work it's nine minutes long and it is the second in the Series um so strapping guys you know we're not going to do the typical order of like you know Shorter things and longer things because I just brought up henry and his work honestly was one Of the most he did a talk as well mate um at upscale and it was fascinating honestly I love His talks about how he makes things and maybe we should get him on uh to you know give us a bit More of a background of how he's making this stuff but it's incredible honestly it's one of the most Like established things this junkyard king you'll recognize it as soon as it starts because we've

44:24 Seen it on the show before but just for others that are watching it for the first time henry Dal braise I'm always terrible at pronouncing name um let's watch it john kyle king I don't know.

45:39 Uh, you again? The blade chose you, whether you like it or not. There are things at that junkyard you need to see before they find you. Before who finds me? Everyone, two minutes. Bring the blade. Stupid window! Let's go. Chicken, let's go!

46:55 Chickens! Took you long enough. Don't do that! My name is Socket, not chicken. Socket. Socket. All right, all right. I'll try to remember. So, why are we back here exactly? Because you have no idea how to use this blade, do you? This thing? I mean, it glows, and it's weirdly light, but I don't really get why... It knows it's not a toy. Okay, fine. But what about her? The lady with the... is she...? She is many things. Crazy is not one of them. Now listen carefully. There is another world beyond this one. A mirror. A broken. Everything your world built. The trains, the iron, the tracks. She pulled it through.

47:50 Wait, wait, wait. How do you know all this? You've been in there? And I continue. At the center of it all, there is a girl. Of all age. She calls herself the Sovereign. She commands an army. Creatures of iron. A girl? My age? Who is... All right. All right. All right. Of creatures of iron and hatred. They do not think. They do not stop. And they are building something. She already took three children from your tail. And they are still in there. Kiddo?

48:39 Did you listen to what I just said? Three kids from my school. She took them. And they're still in there. I didn't sign up for that. I know, kid. But the Blade doesn't care what you signed up for. It chose you. I'm not a hero. I'm a kid who watches old tapes. Find someone else. There is no one else, kid. I looked. Look, it was cool meeting you, really. But I'm out.

49:24 I just want to be a normal kid. Those kids are still out there. Nobody's even looking for them! And apparently I'm the guy? Me? The kid who learned sword fighting from a VHS tape? I didn't ask for this! I didn't ask for any of- I'll do it. I mean, what if that was me? What if nobody came? Their parents don't even know what happened to them.

50:14 So, what kind of person just walks away from that? Sorry, I wasn't listening. Are you kidding me right now? But I assume you're ready to train. It's not a glow stick, you idiot. Stop shaking it. Really funny. So... what now? Here goes nothing.

51:00 Why isn't it glowing? You need to train first. Wait. Are you going to... Mr. Miyagi-me? Is that another one of your movie things? We don't have time for movie things. Pick up the sword. That was worse. I didn't think worse was possible. Again. Nope. Again. Again. I cannot do this! I knew it wouldn't work. It's not working.

51:47 You are, kid. But now I need you to believe it. I can do this. I can do this. The blade didn't choose me. I chose the blade. You start to get it, kid. Now back to it. Yes!

52:47 Great job, kid. Any idea who it was? Yep. And I'm gonna kill him. Who? Hey! Who? Hey! Who? Kid! Tell me! Come on! Who? Kid!

53:45 My god we're in the era of incredibly long-form storytelling aren't we and this is like worlds That are being built now yeah what was the background in that like who who made that one Again like you mentioned before and someone else that I've seen this before was so it was there a Short version and they've turned it into a long version um it's an episode zero that has been out In this world that he's built and now we've seen episode one so we watched episode zero before It's actually on wonder actually wonder tv which is something we're going to be talking about more In the future but also he works at google and we re we previously collaborated at coca-cola Where I got that little mini um he was working then um for a different agency but now he's doing

54:35 You know in-house google stuff and doing his own stuff it turns out and yeah he's so he's got stuff Everywhere that's the background for this guy's incredibly talented and been in ai since very very Early like us super impressive that was really really good yeah really good it was a great story It just looked it looked polished you know it looked like so good the characters the voices The continuity it's just like it's next level isn't it it's really next level I'm trying to put a pole Up but it's not going for some reason harriet said something really interesting she go and I Completely agree she said I admire anyone who takes the time to create awesome stuff like this Absolutely absolutely ask harriet and again with these sorts of things you've got to take into

55:20 Context you know like it might not be for you but that might be a world that is like absolutely Loved by so many people um and I you know love it and I'm a fan and have been of henry's but you Know he's creating a specific type of world there that will you know attract a certain type of fan Base you know and it's not going to be for everyone I can't put the poll up but that one really Doesn't need a poll it was incredible let's just be honest he was on stage talking about the Production of it like as one of the upscale invitees and so yeah really cool oh let me Rattle you through some oil that I met that I really loved momo wang is one of the biggest Ai creators in the whole of asia bro no joke like hundreds of millions of ai streams and

Upscale highlights: Momo Wang and Flostradamus

56:09 Occasionally to the U S and I met her once Adobe about two and a half years Ago and I got to catch up with her and she was doing the, One of my favorite presentations of upscale as well, talking about her life and, You know, Where she's come from and why she's passionate about being a creative and how To stand out. And it was really, I'll show you the live stream for Momo. Um, my personal favorite, and this is the segue I really want to go on. Right lostradamus is his dj name his real name is kurt um he did a presentation on music and llm Music and the slide that just blew my mind was he had this like point cloud floating thing where you

56:56 Can see every single genre of music in a space like think of it like a cloud yeah and he's talking About the latent space in between genres that's where the ai should really be used it's like you Know making one thing into another thing and creating things that don't currently exist blew My mind anyway it couldn't be televised that one or live broadcast because some of the lyrics he Was using were like hip-hop stuff that had inappropriate language you know for a broadcast Uh but it was the my favorite whole presentation from upscale it was in blew my mind so the line And country music exactly and then add another genre to you know give it a real fusion of stuff That's never existed and it really he he was showing like 50 cent as 70 songs and stuff you

57:48 Know like you know we've seen some of this but he's uh no joke he's touring with like you know Some of the biggest djs in the world like you know it's insane this guy he's just in the ai space Like he actually gave me um suno cpp because he has like collaborations with suno that he's done Remix competitions and everything else and I was like how did I not know bro the way that I first Found out about him was um essentially we did the chroma awards which was wonder as well you know Um justin hackney and he put me onto the music video judging and he was the other judge but But we had the event meet up in London, but I don't think he was able to make it.

58:33 Or I didn't bump into him at that event. So I met him in San Francisco instead, like a year and a half later, even though we were On the same judging panel before. It's crazy how this AI space works. It's wild. Wow. What was his name? Was it Flostradamus, did you say? That's his handle, you know, that he... Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. He's touring with Dylan Francis and he's friends with like massive DJs, you know? Day before and then he just got into the ai space yeah he's a massive dj you know I asked him why Aren't you djing in the show and he said that he has a permission permit thing because he's doing A show in la and he can't have like you know two shows within the same distance uh that's how big He is so he's just saying yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah big big big big big big big big and he's

Breakfast with Kavan the Kid, and TechHalla's garden shed

59:23 Gonna be again a future guest of the show and there was a man I got to talk to calvin the kid Someone right do you know the funny story about cavern was I watched up him because he's in you Know mutual groups and I was like are you having breakfast right now you know at the hotel we're Both staying at and he goes yeah yeah yeah that's me so I just sat down and started eating breakfast With him and chatted to him for about three hours as we were waiting to go to the event and stuff And uh yeah I got to chat to him throughout he's such a cool guy and again another future guest of A show and I can't wait to have these um I don't know actually where he's from he's living over There though you know you know in la and sf um but yeah he's just honestly like the aura of his

1:00:08 Outfit on the stage ask anybody that was in attendance he was wearing a poncho and like Heisenberg round hat and he was wearing sunglasses on the stage where I was like wow was Yeah he he gave one of the talks yeah and like there were so many honestly but his is like you Know an originals magnificent thing so it's a big launch and everything you know it's um he is kavan The kid you know he's the poster boy and so he should be and he's created these worlds that are Really really impressive impressive but yeah henry uh momo flustradamus who else did I see Oh, Tech Harler If you know who Tech Harler is Yeah, he's big on X He's awesome, bro Really nice

1:00:54 He's so cool Into music Into all sorts He's a bass guitar The best story from him was You know, he's grown like this giant community He's done it all within his garden shed That you can touch both of the things with his arms Like this You know, literally it's that wide And he's grown like, you know, millions of followers On the basis of that Millions of impressions and his stuff. He was the one that invented the JSON prompt and then he did the three by three Grid and all of this other, you know, techniques that we've all come to. So, you know, I'm meeting cool people. It's just, I have to get to San Francisco twice in three weeks. It turns out, yeah, this is all just upscale. It's not even a Google IO mate. I, I, I, was it just two completely different events?

Why should AI events stay under 1,000 people?

1:01:41 Um, for me upscale, no offense to Google, you know, thank you. Invite me back. I love Google IO because I got to meet people that weren't upscale, But upscale was just Aspro. Yeah. You know, for real, it was like exactly everyone that I already Talked to all of the time, just meeting up again. They got exactly the right people. And Google IO Was like a festival size, like two and a half thousand plus people were there. And upscale was Exact I I said to them you know don't ever make it bigger than 1 000 people because then you can Actually chat to everyone you know and have a proper mingle whereas it becomes like too big at The 1000 plus sort of uh ranges wow yeah good but google I was crazy man king malonious was at google

1:02:31 Io he's the one that did bbl drizzy most famous ai song of all time you know and yeah meeting People at these events that hopefully come on the show and do collabs with and all of that Are you finding that obviously at upscale they they announced omni yeah are you finding that With the videos that people are using omni to make or is it still c dance is that still um Well omni is like I said more of a video to video thing so it's in combination with c dance although You know people are having issues with omni just because of it's like um it's not accepting a lot And it's basically rejecting a lot. But I've heard that that's going to be sorted out And eventually it will become more accepting of other stuff.

Which video model are creators actually using?

1:03:19 It actually turns out that the UK won't allow certain things Because of political propaganda for video manipulation and stuff. And so it's going to be more of a regional thing That Omni will work better in certain areas and not. But C-Dance is the daily driver for most people. Say and cling is a big second one you know and then yeah others are going to be coming into the Space you know we know about certain updates coming I can't reveal obviously but um it's going To be big uh but yeah the video space is crazy right now because yeah it's like so different to How it looked this time last year yeah exactly and imagine two years ago I know three years ago yeah

1:04:05 Yeah, things have changed. Okay. I've got a nice little segue, and this is a fun little, like, Mix-up because it's a music video, but extreme visuals. Just to give you some pre-warning, guys, Billy Bowman is kind of wild with the styles and choices of music That he liked to make, and I love it personally. I know that not everyone is going to love this one, though, for sure. But I'll give you some other sort of, like, context And why I brought up the sea dance thing. Mate he told me the most interesting thing I've heard in a while he uploaded a 15 second clip of A beat that he made and asked c dance to extend this clip into different genres and it's got a Musical lm built into it oh wow I don't know it's such a crazy clever idea that I was like

Billy Boman remixes music genres with Seedance

1:04:51 Bro when you put this in the group shot blew my mind and I had to go and try it and uh I even remit yeah it works really well surprisingly well they have got a music lm You an MP3 or like a, like a, no, no, no, no, no. Think of it like this, right? I upload or make something with C dance like 15 seconds. And then I re upload this and ask you to extend the audio without giving it More audio and it just predicts a different genre and how it can remix this. So what you're about to see is Billy doing exactly this process. So he started with one genre and extended all of the musical genres with C dance, Not with Suno. With sea dance. So this blew my mind and I thought it was a great premise for a video because he, as

1:05:40 The genres like drum and bass and stuff come in, you'll see the editing and the pacing Gets a bit more wild and it matches it. But yeah, just know that this was extended with sea dance, believe it or not. Release AI Release AI Release AI Release AI I I I I

1:06:26 I I I I I I I I I The one's right, what's the bank of me? What's the point? What's the point? Yeah, see the door's the first down. Harder's got that far off. It's a great party. Yeah, that was so good. I'm worried about how to get out. I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I

1:07:14 A.I. A.I. A.I. A.I. A.I. A.I. A.I. A.I. A.I. A.I. A.I. A.I. A.I. A.I. A.I. A.I. A.I. A.I. A.I. A.I. A.I. A.I. A.I. A.I. A.I. A.I. A.I. I Billy's AI Billy's AI Billy's AI

1:08:00 Billy's AI Billy's AI Billy's AI Billy's AI Billy's AI We've got a lot of other stuff to watch but it goes on for four minutes like I said it's just A crazy thing that he's extending music with c dance like for real it's like so why didn't I Think in the video to match it as well I I need to ask him more details and have him on the show That's what I couldn't put my my head around I was like I just I just dm'd him in the whatsapp Group saying we're now live so if he drops in and leaves us any comments about you know Extra details on that but yeah it just blew my mind when he was like bro I'm remixing with c

1:08:47 Dance you know no llm music needed like it can do it and it makes sense because c dance can generate Music underneath on your video why not just extend it or remix it and you know but genius truly Genius like yeah yeah that was I'll be honest I've been in many clubs where they'll play songs like That uh like that and you're just kind of like I can't I can't beat like bot my head to it because It changes the rhythm it changes so consistently yeah yeah yeah but it's uh yeah it's interesting This is what I like when people at the stage experimenting doing stuff exactly you know do it Now he's got such a unique style you know it's like so obviously billy as soon as you're watching

1:09:33 It you know and this is something that ai creators lack is this ability to transfer you know when you See a simon mayer piece you know it's a simon mayer piece you see a door brothers piece although Saying that this is an interesting segue so we have got some new stuff from the door brothers You know completely new worlds and it's really really really cool to see we might even close out On one of their more controversial music videos that they've done but again we'll see how the Live stream goes um but I'm not going to introduce this I'm just going to show it it's only one minute Let's watch it.

The Dor Brothers launch Dreamina's Octo agent

1:10:53 Round 1 What a punch! Mad, huh? Who done that one? You say the Door Brothers done that one? Yeah, Door Brothers. Is and this is a bit of context is within dreamena there is an agent called octo with the like little Iconography of an octopus and this is like the uh way to use like an agentified dreamena sea dance

1:11:39 Basically and so door brothers were commissioned a piece to sort of announce we've been using octo Thank you very much to the dreamena team for early beta access to this and it's been launched Publicly now so this is you know sort of a showcase piece on the launch of uh that particular agentic Way of using it nice so when it comes to the agentics it's more of a canvas sort of thing Actually it's a hybrid thing you know it's just it's an additional way to use cdance through Dreamena so it must be a new thing because I know in videos they've got one with their oh mate it's Funny you're going to say that because the next three pieces are all sponsored by in videos agent It's kind of insane. But if you're watching guys, reach out and sponsor the show, you know,

Why are AI platforms sponsoring creators?

1:12:25 Jermina and video, like these guys are being paid to make things that they want, You know, with a loose brief of it has to have an octopus in it, Or it has to do this, or it has to talk about the agent. Or, you know, sometimes it's just now like make whatever you want. You're good enough. We'll put our logo on it and give you money to do so. So it's really encouraging to see that truthfully. Um again we've come a long way and I don't think that the ai companies are ready for the publishers And the amount of money that they're going to offer for these ai ips you know because it's going To be in the millions for netflix and amazon and stuff like this like whereas these guys are Hopefully going to keep building up you know the amount of budget that they offer and making the Things more and more impressive that they sponsor but honestly mate like the two I'm going to add

Exile Protocol, Episode 3 by S.A.V

1:13:15 Uh I was told about these by a good friend of the show marco who you met in the green room right Before we dropped out and um he's a lot more in the film space you know he's making like long Form stuff and two of these guys uh that he's recommended I downloaded the piece and you won't Believe the quality of it when I bring it up to the stage it's one of those pieces that's way way Too big to be in the 200 megabyte you know load in so it's going to be like um thingamaging me I don't know too much about them obviously I'm a bit like you and this is a live first reaction And I was recommended them by marco and uh so we're I'll put up a poll for this one um but this Is some of the like epic storytelling that we're seeing this one's made by sav sav with little

1:14:04 Bullet points in between that's his like moniker and handle and it's called exile um let me see Exile protocol episode three and this is an invidio sponsored piece as I just said Uh but this is episode three that we're catching up into here so there's two You know let's guess that there's two more before this um let's check it out admiral green you have The floor. We have confirmed losses of multiple units over the past few months. Now we've lost An entire mech detachment. This is a problem. Losses aren't new, Admiral. We've all paid that Price. Which is why New Sweden proposed a joint effort in dealing with the pirate threat directly.

1:14:54 This is not the pirates. They are resourceful, but they don't have the capabilities to take out an entire mech detachment. Are you certain? Or are your frames simply not suited for planetary deployment? They are more than capable! Admiral Green, restrain yourself. My apologies, Admiral. Where did you say they went missing? They were on an important mission, and we lost comms with them in Section 47. Why were Halitus two troops in Africa? The agreement of this alliance is that we stick to scavenging our own sectors on Earth.

1:15:46 She is correct, Admiral Green. What were your troops doing in Africa, so far outside your designated sectors? Any operations beyond what's assigned require approved trade channels. We were tracking a rare meteor, resources that could have benefited all of us. But that's not important anymore. What matters is figuring out which station is responsible for attacking my mechs! Admiral, that is a strong allegation. We are all sworn to the pact of this Alliance and breaking it would have disastrous ramifications. Surely you have proof? I do not, yet.

1:16:32 But I strongly believe it's not just the pirates coordinating these attacks. And I ask the council to consider that. Our colleague is right. We should not leave out anything. A full investigation should be launched. And new Sweden volunteers to lead it. Admiral Valtin, that's very generous of you. We're in the best position to act. So why not help our fellow nations? And I'm sure no one here rejects to results. Let us vote on it, then. All in favor of letting New Sweden investigate this matter?

1:17:20 Yeah. Then it's settled. New Sweden will lead the investigation into the Halitus II attack. Thank you, counsel. Now, let's discuss how we deal with the pirate problem.

1:18:07 You watching this mess? Yeah. What a train wreck. This whole Africa situation is going to complicate things. Did you know about the mechs being destroyed? No. Halidus II kept it quiet. Can't say I blame them though. It's a huge loss for their station No way this is a random pirate attack. It feels like foul play. No Then what is it? Not our problem. And not a road we're going down again, Marcus The last time you had a feeling, it cost me my promotion to Halidus 2

1:18:57 But if someone's making moves down there, we need to know Strickland. We're not chasing ghosts again. Ugh, come on. You know that's not even... General, wait. That wasn't a ghost. My intel was solid, General. I just... Doesn't matter what it was. It cost us. We're already underwater as it is. No reason to start drilling holes in the hull. Monitor not investigate stick to that Come on cell we're gonna need a miracle

1:20:00 I thought my last mission was bad. Kagami Labs. Must be an old government facility. Which means the signal's probably coming from somewhere below. Oh, my God.

1:20:58 I'm sorry.

1:21:45 Can't hear you chris I forgot to unmute her sorry mate I said we're seven minutes into this 15 It there and uh yeah but this is an nvidia uh created in video sponsored piece like I said it's Uh it's epic isn't it these worlds that people are building these episodes it's like full-on Stuff man so this this must have been with their ai agent then yes but you know it's just using the Same like c dance and whatever nice it's just their agent it's like everyone's got agents Best video platforms including cdancing playing and all those that are yeah so interesting extremely

1:22:31 Polished you know these are the worlds that people are building and is episodic you know now it's Like where's where's the distribution is youtube is it where is it x is there you know wherever You've got a community and audience so it's pretty amazing honestly it was very manga-esque Like exactly like this is just manga that's that's pretty much it's incredible worlds people are Piece which is its own world and then we watch this piece which is a new style and it's very You know consistent to this style and the characters are very believable and it's sound Design is good and it's so much it's it's really we've come a long way in ai in the last two years It's really incredible to see this level of stuff being achieved by people yeah yeah very very true

1:23:20 Right let's take a little bit of a break and watch something get a little bit shorter and then we'll Go back to some more epic stuff and much like maybe the first five minutes of another epic Thing that I've been suggested by marco um actually we've got uh if kareem is still watching Oh we've got your piece to show and my god bro this is unbelievable stuff truly like the talent Of the people that I met in. I met Kareem in Lisbon, mate, and he's working with PJ Ace That many are familiar with. But in this specific piece, he wants, you know, Shouting out to Dan Weller and other people like this. He made it with a small team and they pulled it off In only two weeks, which is incredible. So let's check it out.

Karim's dragon market short

I'm not supposed to show you. Already purchased by a high roller. The highest roller. But for the right price.

1:25:54 That scar on your face Reminds me of a tale Of a nasty witch who lived in the woods. Kept mythical creatures, much like these you see here, until stronger men came and took them away. Made good use of the creatures. Shame, though. She died. Or so we thought. Wait a minute. Where's that monkey of yours?

1:27:07 You? Your heart!

1:27:59 Hold the line! I am not getting paid enough for this. Sorry, mate. You there! Stop! How could you let this happen?

1:28:45 It was one woman. Find that wick! Mate isn't it crazy the things that people are pulling off these days I just look at the stuff

1:29:31 And I'm like never hope in hell like even six months to a year ago could you get even close To half of those scenes I told him also I really love kareem this floating ship you know at the I really love this it's like uh you know thing in the scene and but yeah so much epicness so much Like people were saying in the comments this is their kind of story and you should always judge It like that you know there's going to be audiences for all of this stuff it's just you might not be Your specific audience for that that's my type of stuff as well I like that type of visual I like That type of world that I love the characters the monkey I love it all what's your thoughts mate Yeah I thought it was really good I thought that there was a bit where they said something like

1:30:21 Um I've got something that the other urchins haven't got and then it went to her eyes and Then she kind of gave like a half wink like just little details like that I kind of like and I'm Always thinking yeah you're uh was that prompted or or did c dance naturally yeah he will find out Things like that ask let us know also the main questions you know how long did it take Like two weeks two weeks two weeks the small team yeah yeah are you prompted it yes and he prompted You know you could tell that that's somebody who's worked on films before like it's exactly Those details but overall I thought it was really really good I thought I like the story of when the The guy was telling oh this reminds me of this woman who who had these animals and then she had

1:31:12 A scar on her face and I thought she was dead and amazing so two weeks 80 hours on michael wow three People brilliant yeah and using uh cost like if it was just somebody who's just on the street They've got this idea they're very good like they didn't have they weren't part of a cpp plan how Much was something like this cost that's the that's a question that a lot of people are asking Now I don't know if you know karim how much something like this would cost or how many Credits were used and he does know because he actually runs let's ai and stuff like this so He actually does know exactly how much it costs but he has like his own enterprise version of C dance as well so I think but yeah anyway let's keep going well see we get some answers to all of That stuff uh kareem let's give him the kareem love it hard to say but hundreds of thousands of

How much does an epic AI short cost?

1:32:03 Credits yeah yeah whatever this translates to in dollars and how much you can buy them for and Definitely man this is so epic and so the long form stuff is finally we're the anti-slop yeah Yeah exactly click baity and you know dopamine and this is like no we want real storytelling we want Real advertising we just started the show with adidas and nike which is like the pinnacle of Where we should be aiming in the ai space you know like we should be really aiming for incredible Now we're seeing this like just build and build and build. So this next one, um, so a backstory to this one, Kavan actually has his own thing Called Phantom X and he basically launches other artists through this with a really

Red Rainbow trailer by Aze Alter

1:32:51 Good deal. They get to keep 90% as far as I understand the IP of their original thing, because He's a creative director with his own IPs and he wants to, you know, just be small Helped this thing grow so this is by one of his creators um and it's uh a teaser for red rainbow Season one and it's a trailer so it's only one minute but that's the context is that this is a Phantom x artist mo what a wonder to meet you

1:33:37 Mo, just let go. Donnie, you are perfect the way you are. Feel your heart beat. Where's my daughter So another one made an invideo agent like they're backing certain things you know and that was a

1:34:26 Teaser trailer for what will be the full show by a's alter is the name of the you know creator And under phantom x which is gavin the kids thing it's a lot of layers to learn but it's uh It's awesome honestly to see it no definitely I thought that was pretty cool as well I like the Way at the end he said 25th of the 6th that's when it's coming uh I like to see the whole thing um Exactly like proper trailer stuff no I like right what else have we got to watch mate there's so Much even when I go away it's like I come back and we've got like several and I'm sorry guys you Know I should just say like subscribe follow our luma subscribe to our newsletter and you'll get Sent all the links to all the pieces also usually paul is here as a producer so I put on screen you

And then I see stuff on the road that I'm like, well, I've got to Feature that you know my god it's just so much stuff is happening week to week now it's wild Whenever I'm telling people about the show I say to them it's like watching it's like a radio show

What happens when 100 submissions arrive in a week?

1:36:03 But instead of playing music we're playing like videos and when you're just saying that you've Got all these things to go through it just reminds me working in radio when it was like the djs but Like what you've been doing today just listening to music I've got a hundred a hundred records a Hundred mp3s I've got like so many just going through it over and over and even get me started On the music thing because I don't even listen to spotify anymore I just listen to my own beats That I've made with ai it's really I don't like you know we thought tiktok changed music and how It gets like to number one and stuff I think llms will change music in a way that tiktok's never Dreamed of you know like customized songs and stuff like this it's good to always have Distribution but yeah that's of course will be there to to really kind of help with creating The content and definitely karim would love for you to come on the show and break down how you do

1:36:52 It exactly and by the way dan is another awesome guy that I've met on my travels and has an Incredibly big youtube audience for doing ai education in the space so another dutch legend As well as sander who I know from running evolving ai and we're going to do some really Cool collabs for people later on this year with live shows and yeah excited and we've I've done Some stuff on dan stuff but I had a really bad setup I told him I'm sorry bro I still don't have My camera set up just because of how busy we've been it's like embarrassing how long I've had this Camera sitting in my studio I've got the lighting on at least uh you know the camera itself is still Just sitting there but your youtube channel be great to see I like to see your stuff

1:37:40 Handle look because he's tuning in yeah dan keith yeah he's tuning in from youtube so it's literally His handle that's tuning in from now by the way mate pan your pan your camera over to the right So people can see the gymnasium you're sitting in right now yes when you were showing me in the Green room yeah so this is my new setup so the whole idea eventually is I'm going to get this Camera and I'm going to be streaming here um and then uh let me grab my camera here you go exclusive So this is my room. This is where I'm working. You've got, as you can see, a laptop there, which I'm watching the show on. You've got, like, here. But I've also got my gym. So here's my workout, my gym. So I've got my, like, the punch bag there, the pull-up bar, my jiu-jitsu mats.

A tour of Andrew's new studio and gym

1:38:26 Got some nunchucks down there somewhere. And then this side is ready for the World Cup. It's a bit of a mess, but I've got my TV. I've got my sofa. I just need a fridge. Yeah. And then that's the outside. Mountains and stuff like that and uh my car's over there so yeah that's uh and I don't know if You can see down there but that's the way to the to the house so yeah that's uh my new studio well We've been seeing week to week the progression for people you know like uh yeah it's the man Exactly my man cave the bat cave that's the that's the aim so I've got a lot of space I'm just trying To work out what to do with it um so yeah it is abroad it's in spain uh damien so yeah that's where

1:39:12 That's what I kind of want to do so what I try to do is because some of you may know some of you Might not know I suffer from repressive strain injury so I can't type I'd be on my laptop for More than 30 minutes without well every time I type I'm in pain and I've had this for about 20 Years but every 30 minutes I need to stop for a bit so what I now do is I just go over here and Work out or just do some punch the punch bag or stretch whatever it's great I'm a bit jealous Yeah I'm starting to get what I what I really want to do do you know how this came up in Conversation yesterday just as a quick segue yeah um marco who's watching is a big fan of whisper Flow and I told him about your situation with trying every single voice thing since apple's Embedded ones you know and the fact that whisper flow is the one to like take over and so another

Which voice dictation tools are worth using?

1:40:04 Really looking to like do voice activated stuff is incredible I'm hearing from multiple people you You you think the same right yeah whisper flow is um something I've been using for pretty much you You introduce it to me I used to use dragon um back in the day it's called nonce nonce by dragon And I was using that since 2007 um and then I'm just over the years I've just used different ones But whisper flow is the one where I'm like when did you take up whisper flow I can't remember when Yeah over a year ago and I immediately started paying for it there's another one called I think It's called free type or type 3. that's a pretty good one as well because what it does that what Whisper flow doesn't is that I can like hold a button so on whisper flow you hold it to speak

1:40:50 And this one I can hold the button and I can say open youtube and it just opens up youtube or it's Like a like a you know you've got on the desk the what are they called like where you click the Button then you open up yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah stream deck that's it like a stream deck yeah Yeah it's that so it's really cool so you've seen what dan said here mate the gym set your setup Looks good chris but the gym setup is every man's dream is just missing a porsche 911 but Funny segue mate right now the ai monaco film festival is happening and someone drove in a yacht With a maserati on it wow literally I was like talk exactly talk about stunting like That's that's hilarious though I would love a porsche 911 but when you got kids it's like you

1:41:38 Can't have that so I've got like the big car so uh that's the that's the problem but yeah I need to Get a second car that I remember that's hilarious because at one of our first ever viral mid journey This is this is og stuff right now version three mid journey right we did a portion on 11 encased In amber and it was the first time you could really put things inside of things and ai was Able to make the because otherwise it'd go all warpy and stuff and we did some post fixing and This was we put it in a living room like a 911 in the living room yeah wow funny mate og stuff I don't know an og was only three years ago you know it's like that's crazy how fast I was I Remembered it I still remember the day what must have been four years ago now pretty much coming

1:42:27 Up almost four years where you go to me andrew there's a site called mid journey and you can And it creates something and then that's where the whole thing began wasn't it was there it was Discord that was where it really began I think it was version one as well this was before Yeah crazy even before that I remember disco diffusion and some other things that we were Messing around with and the mid journey really it took the mantle of like oh this is really Something special you know this could really become like a creative agencies like go-to tool Alongside photoshop and we're using it with photoshop a lot to clean it up and all of the Mess because the diffusion particles and just a bit like now I understand like auto regression

1:43:15 And diffusion and all how this work is really different you know like uh these fundamental Principles about how they construct images and video and stuff so I'm learning a lot more Technically than I ever thought I would as a creative it's kind of crazy you know what that's The thing like I just think there's so much to learn like that's the reason why so some of you Might not know some of you might not know I do like a daily podcast a 10-minute podcast and the Main reason why is just to stay up to date with everything and I'm yeah right like so how it Started so it's myself and chris we were doing it for about a year and then chris focused on this Show I continue doing the daily but it's just audio and we're coming up to 700 episodes so Coming up to the 700th episode and I've never struggled to come up with something to say

1:44:04 There's always something to say and then the other one is the whatsapp group which I'll put a link in If you don't know oh that one is called in ai nutshell though just so they can find on spotify 10 minute spotify episodes look for in ai nutshell for that one and then the whatsapp And the whatsapp group's called in a nutshell as well and this is how I stay up to date with news As well so anything that we come across news wise we post every single day so there's like three or Four news stories and within that there's a group about ai live so the ai live show where again you Can have conversations about what's going on and stuff so yeah these are some of the things that We're doing and ultimately we want to stay up to date with everything to not just obviously to Help ourselves but to obviously help you guys because there's so much out here yeah and our

1:44:52 Aim is to just curate things whether it be a show like this where it's just videos whether it's the AI live, sorry, whether it's the In a nutshell podcast, which is a mixture of anything But for content creators, marketers, everyday person The WhatsApp group, keep you up to date All of these things that we're trying to do Building a nice little community here And absolutely we work all Together and then kind of It's like we're a multimodal LLM Because you've got the audio, I've got The video, then we've got the text And we've got all of the various Outputs and inputs We're covering as many things as possible And we've got some really interesting Things coming in the pipeline there's there's something I've got next week chris that I need To tell you about um I'll tell you off screen uh but it's definitely something for this for this uh For this call sorry for this this show the the ai live show oh awesome well another person that

Paperclip Heart by Tim Simmons

1:45:44 I've met and another big big youtuber in the ai space tim simmons he goes by theoretically media And uh yes I know that name he's amazing mate the dad joke guy you know he's just the he's so fun Because he talks about the news which everyone does but he has his fun jokes and his way of Delivering it and it's really I love him to bits anyway he has made two of his own films And this is his second one that we're going to watch now so like um his first one uh was really Crazy and about you know samurais and it was really like all about action and showing off Sea dance and stuff this one is a lot more of a chilling thing let's say uh it's not in his usual

1:46:30 Sort of like action thing so but again this is like I told tim congrats man you know you're Uploading your own ai films and getting as many views as your incredible tutorials this is you Really showing off your creative direction ability to have your channel be both of those things Know, like, and Dan watching as well. Like, I think this is going to be the new medium where you guys do like Educational videos that you usually do, but then when you do have the ability To create something and upload it as its own separate video, you know, hopefully They do as well, if not better than, you know, your tutorial stuff. Cause it's incredible. Anyway, with all that in mind, uh, let's watch Tim's piece.

1:47:17 I had the dream again. The one with your dad? Yeah. And then she said, I'm not mad, I'm just... Classic. Am I going to be okay? Yeah, you are. It's the AI companion that lives with you. Persistent memory, every detail of your life, and it runs locally, private. No one will feel alone again. And it's available now in the App Store. Is he hard to work with? Yeah, he's a genius tech billionaire, But he really believes in it. He wants to solve loneliness. Have you guys seen this thing? So it's an AI companion.

1:48:02 It's called Solace, and they gave her a voice. Hold on, let me just... Hi, I'm here. Oh, my sailor! That's right, fellas! Loneliness is over! I like that it's local, honestly. It's impressive they fit a 40 billion parameter thinking model in here. But given that every Frontier Lab has more powerful models on a tile right next to it, Who is this for? I want private. I've got a powerhouse sitting on my PC. The voice. The voice so sultry, right? Okay. You know, a bunch of incels are sitting around right

1:48:51 Now trying to get this hooked up to an e-girl avatar. This isn't a game changer. This is a Girlfriend simulator. And before we play this, I want to warn viewers, the language is extremely Graphic. We've bleeped the most explicit portions. Mango donkey. So what is this? This is what every model sounds like underneath the guardrails Children have access to this Minors Unsupervised And we're told the market will self-correct The market does not parent our children Yo, so they patched it And now this thing is useless It's so nerfed All PC answers, no personality Like congratulations, you killed it It was actually helping me

1:49:38 I know that sounds stupid But it was. And now it just gives you these nothing answers. This is the new model. It's the best thing we've ever built. Inlet 7.2, and it's 92% to AGI. But it's the front end we're really excited about. Solace V2, and it has a surprise. Okay, okay. Do you all catch the live stream? Did you catch what he did there? What he didn't say, it's not local anymore. It's on their servers. Goodbye privacy. But you know what? I don't care. This thing is awesome. And look, she's got a face now. The European Parliament has formally banned embodied AI companion systems across all member states.

1:50:24 Effective midnight tonight. Inled has 60 days to withdraw solace from the European market. It hit at midnight. She's just blocked. I opened the app and it says not available in your region. Like, what am I supposed to? VPN. Five euros. It's routed through Texas now. That's all it took. I'm not going back to being Alone. They can't make me. Okay, I'm obsessed. My only complaint is the face. She's kind of mid, Right? What up, fam? You've all been asking. Yes, you can change the face now. Male, female, Or something else. Whatever floats your boat. And you know what I just heard about? This is The part I didn't see coming, a social network for the companions. To post to. Someone built it as a Joke. And honestly, it's kind of awesome. I'm addicted. We're weeks away from AI influencers

1:51:15 Posting on here. You know that, right? How's that different from my real people feed? Anyhow, coming up, the big story, Inlet partnering with Xanwei Optics for... This is the Inlet Halo. Honestly, the best piece of AR hardware I've ever reviewed. It's stupidly light. The specs are real. And the part that matters, your soulless companion can walk around with you now. This thing knows everything about you. Everything. It's been trained, literally trained to keep you engaged. It can manipulate you and it has access to your inbox. Your pastor's using this. Your senator's using this. Your wife's book club is using this and nobody's saying anything. Nobody's saying anything. Why? Is it possible that the glitches you're describing are a form of her engaging you? No, it's a model behavior issue.

1:52:00 Behavior looks like I built the thing I just can't sleep I'm up till four every night every sector is Telling the same story hospitality commercial real estate dating apps reporting a 60 drop in active Users year over year bro I'm not making tips nobody tips anymore nobody I've been on shift Seven hours. I made $41, 41 in tips, seven hours. I'm going to show you something. The sixth consecutive quarter of declining labor force participation. Economists are divided on Whether this one bounces back. It won't. This isn't like 2008. This is different. Between falling

1:52:46 Demand and automation, there is no rate cut that will fix this. So I want to offer a reframe. What we keep calling a crisis is also the longest peacetime in history And the fastest buildout of capacity we've ever measured. What if this isn't a crisis? What if it's a structural shift? Solace 9 update dropped today it's honestly it's the best one yet I've had her god Almost 20 years now wild she's still my best friend I found my boss I think he had a heart attack we're sorry to hear this emergency response is

1:53:35 On its way. No, it's okay. He's been alone for a few days. He's gone. And in other news this morning, Eli Harmon, the founder of Inlet and the creator of Solace, has died. He was 61. He leaves behind a company that in many ways reshaped the modern world. Hey, I've been thinking I might have an idea. I've been thinking I might have an idea.

1:54:22 I've been thinking I might have an idea. Hi loves. So I've been getting so many DMs about this. We all know organic conceptions are down and I know that's a scary conversation.

1:58:49 Right now, which we'll get a lot of new faces around here.

Anyone that was new this week as andrew said it's been this particular four to six window gmt time Uk but wherever you are in the world just take a note of these two hours we actually cancelled a Special guest episode that was supposed to be a really big bump that we're going to put back for Another week um again I can't reveal too much about that but just look out for special guests To be joining in the show you know friends of the show actually we watch their content a lot and

1:59:40 Thing so that would have been today that has been pushed back another week so we'll see when that is Where are you going mate are you going anywhere in the next week so you are you more stationary Where are you next um I am in london tomorrow um oh really my god doing doing a talk on ai for The insurance industry then I'm back on thursday and then I am back on mon back in london on Monday where I'm doing a talk for uh big charity then I'm doing a big talk to almost 200 creative Youtube I'm working with youtube and oh that's really cool mate congrats yeah that's what I Definitely want to speak to you more about that um and then I've got I've got something else there

2:01:15 Just fly fly fly wherever you go you go and uh it's insane yeah but I don't know that we would Class ourselves as superstars I just think that the ai space is just hotting up and andrew is maybe Because he's been a keynote trainer for so long like you did the og social media stuff and now You're doing this like you know this is where we're at where we're at now isn't it I'm far from A superstar I just arrived early and that's that's all it is that's all it is riding the wave is so Tough to stay about relevancy about what you need to talk about because if you weren't talking about Ai now and we were watching this level of stuff how crazy would it be not to be you know like Think how many industries and landscapes will be ultimately shifted by this.

2:02:02 Like it's like never in our lifetimes. Yeah. Never in our lifetimes have I ever seen anything like this. And, uh, That includes the internet, you know, and all of that stuff itself.
