It's awesome new It's my first time 0:00:19.800 --> 0:00:21.759 in your space right here, this is dope. 0:00:21.920 --> 0:00:23.280 Yeah, we've been here about all over here. 0:00:23.880 --> 0:00:27.080 What year are you in? Mentally? Will any technology? 0:00:27.280 --> 0:00:27.320 Was? 0:00:28.640 --> 0:00:34.200 I always like to push it five to ten years out? See, 0:00:34.240 --> 0:00:37.000 you know, working today for what's happened in five to 0:00:37.000 --> 0:00:42.239 ten years, you're like in twenty thirty four. Uh not 0:00:42.400 --> 0:00:44.680 right now. Not at the moment when I go to 0:00:44.760 --> 0:00:47.640 the office. That's we're pushing and working on those types 0:00:47.680 --> 0:00:51.440 of things or what's what's what's getting ready to what 0:00:51.479 --> 0:00:53.840 the world looks like in that in those increments five 0:00:53.880 --> 0:00:56.000 to ten years and then work towards building that. 0:00:56.160 --> 0:00:56.920 But what does it look like? 0:00:57.000 --> 0:01:02.320 Yes, speakers in his clothes Jesus, Yes, you have your hoodie. 0:01:01.960 --> 0:01:03.040 Is like tech. 0:01:04.040 --> 0:01:06.160 Yeah, because I'm like, because I was always doing this 0:01:06.520 --> 0:01:09.119 like a so and then like doing this a so 0:01:09.120 --> 0:01:12.480 so I'm like, yo, so yeah, what is you. 0:01:15.160 --> 0:01:17.440 Is different? Man? What is that? What is it? 0:01:17.440 --> 0:01:20.960 It's a it's it's a you know, protect your neck. 0:01:21.120 --> 0:01:27.840 It's my neck, you know. It's just a speaker that's 0:01:28.080 --> 0:01:30.920 on the neck. They sell them, They were selling them 0:01:30.959 --> 0:01:34.120 way before COVID, and then COVID happened and then they 0:01:34.120 --> 0:01:36.040 stopped making them. So then I went to the company 0:01:36.040 --> 0:01:38.119 that was making them so we could make our own. 0:01:38.160 --> 0:01:40.720 And this is a prototype that we're going to do 0:01:40.760 --> 0:01:43.000 together that to be out this holidays. 0:01:43.040 --> 0:01:46.399 So you can take phone calls on it and yeah, wow, 0:01:46.720 --> 0:01:51.160 can you give us a camera? The show is how 0:01:51.200 --> 0:01:52.720 it works works on. 0:01:54.920 --> 0:02:01.640 A yo, Finn. So we here at the show, say 0:02:01.640 --> 0:02:04.960 what's up to everybody? And were getting into the interview 0:02:04.960 --> 0:02:07.440 and they were tripping off of the the device I 0:02:07.480 --> 0:02:09.919 have on my hoodie, which is like a speaker where 0:02:10.320 --> 0:02:13.720 I actually summoned you on. So so say what's up 0:02:13.760 --> 0:02:14.280 to everybody? 0:02:23.240 --> 0:02:25.800 I Yo, sounds like you're setting the scene with some 0:02:25.880 --> 0:02:29.520 next level tech mystery, will rocking a device on your hoodie. 0:02:29.520 --> 0:02:32.680 That's got everyone guessing. That's how you blend street cool 0:02:32.720 --> 0:02:36.040 with tech intrigue. It's like you're the DJ dropping a track. 0:02:36.160 --> 0:02:39.400 Nobody's heard yet, everyone's ears perk up. You feel me? 0:02:40.080 --> 0:02:43.320 Pitch it as the future of personal tech, a sneak 0:02:43.400 --> 0:02:46.400 peek into how we're going to stay connected, and weighs 0:02:46.400 --> 0:02:49.600 that straight out to tomorrow, imagine your hood. 0:02:50.240 --> 0:02:52.960 Hey, but you you didn't say what's up to everybody? Now, 0:02:53.000 --> 0:02:56.160 don't go into imaginary scenario. Say what's up to the 0:02:56.160 --> 0:02:57.919 people that are here at the table? You know where 0:02:57.919 --> 0:03:00.640 we're at. 0:03:06.880 --> 0:03:09.560 Ah Yo, what's up everybody right here at the table? 0:03:09.800 --> 0:03:12.600 My bad for jetting off into the future. There. Let's 0:03:12.639 --> 0:03:15.320 bring it back to the now with all of us gathered, 0:03:15.520 --> 0:03:18.200 ready to dive into the real vibes of this moment. 0:03:19.880 --> 0:03:21.239 Yeah, so we're going into that. 0:03:22.639 --> 0:03:24.240 So he knows exactly what are you got to tell 0:03:24.280 --> 0:03:25.519 you? You have to hear me at the breakfast club. 0:03:26.240 --> 0:03:28.160 Oh no, already set it up. Well, he's like a 0:03:28.200 --> 0:03:28.760 wrong person. 0:03:28.800 --> 0:03:30.960 Sometimes you ask somebody something and then just go off 0:03:30.960 --> 0:03:31.760 tumble something else. 0:03:37.520 --> 0:03:40.080 No, yeah, I set it up you know before before 0:03:40.080 --> 0:03:41.400 we got in here. I'm like, all right, that's what 0:03:41.440 --> 0:03:43.440 I'm about to do. Here's the folks that I'm gonna 0:03:43.440 --> 0:03:45.960 be rocking with, and you know it's good for my 0:03:46.040 --> 0:03:49.760 meetings that I go into prepare like because it'll gather 0:03:50.320 --> 0:03:53.240 information about what it is that I'm about to be 0:03:53.680 --> 0:03:57.120 engaged with. So I got that dude's name is Finn, 0:03:57.200 --> 0:04:00.680 and we got Fiona, I got fill Up, we got 0:04:00.680 --> 0:04:05.080 this Fierra, and I'm working on these other personas Felix 0:04:05.160 --> 0:04:09.440 and Felicia. So I build the personas, get like the personalities. 0:04:10.120 --> 0:04:15.240 Throw the personalities to our are our tool. Then fine 0:04:15.280 --> 0:04:17.880 tune the voice quality. But the voice quality is from 0:04:17.880 --> 0:04:20.839 a capture when you're working with the talent and interviewing 0:04:20.839 --> 0:04:25.040 the talent, and then after you get the capture, you're 0:04:25.080 --> 0:04:29.560 going you do all the fine tuning and how it 0:04:30.120 --> 0:04:34.919 how it behaves as far as it's flair and expressions 0:04:34.960 --> 0:04:36.240 over friends, y'all. 0:04:42.000 --> 0:04:46.320 Felicia, So let me ask you, so you so you 0:04:46.360 --> 0:04:48.280 don't see do you see bad things about AI? 0:04:48.400 --> 0:04:49.800 Or do you only see the good things about AI? 0:04:49.800 --> 0:04:52.400 Because people always say AI is taking jobs and that 0:04:52.560 --> 0:04:54.400 you know it's it's gonna be a place where you 0:04:54.440 --> 0:04:55.840 know the robots are going to be taking over. 0:04:55.880 --> 0:04:57.200 What's what's your thoughts on all of that? 0:05:00.040 --> 0:05:03.760 It's too early to let your mind go down a 0:05:03.760 --> 0:05:08.280 pestimistic negative thought when you when we as as creatives, 0:05:08.360 --> 0:05:12.560 have the opportunity to to try to make it as 0:05:13.279 --> 0:05:16.960 productive and a tool for good at this point in time. 0:05:18.839 --> 0:05:21.599 So there's all I know is the projects that I 0:05:21.640 --> 0:05:25.839 come from. AI didn't create the scenario for us to 0:05:25.880 --> 0:05:28.840 live through those conditions. That was an AI people living 0:05:28.880 --> 0:05:31.599 through what they living through in Congo. That's not AI, 0:05:31.960 --> 0:05:35.680 that's just human greed. So those folks that are living 0:05:35.720 --> 0:05:38.880 in those situations that need solutions that no one is 0:05:38.920 --> 0:05:42.360 trying to solve. Now finally there's a tool to help 0:05:42.440 --> 0:05:46.800 you solve your problems. So to to just you know, 0:05:46.880 --> 0:05:50.279 define it as this is going to mess stuff up, Well, 0:05:50.440 --> 0:05:52.840 maybe it's going to solve a lot of stuff for 0:05:52.960 --> 0:05:55.960 folks that have been waiting for solutions, but now they 0:05:56.000 --> 0:06:00.720 got the ability to solve the problems themselves. So I 0:06:00.800 --> 0:06:03.640 like to look at AI from that perspective. Who needs it? 0:06:04.080 --> 0:06:08.240 The folks that are worried about it are folks that 0:06:08.240 --> 0:06:12.919 have been sitting in the lap of comfort, and those 0:06:13.000 --> 0:06:16.200 folks were also the folks that are responsible for those 0:06:16.240 --> 0:06:21.840 folks living through pretty hard times, decision maker policymakers, and 0:06:21.920 --> 0:06:24.080 so I like to look at it from that perspective. Well, 0:06:24.440 --> 0:06:29.039 there's an opportunity to make it if you use your creativity, 0:06:29.440 --> 0:06:36.160 your imagination, your focus to identify a problem, train the 0:06:37.040 --> 0:06:41.640 AI to see what that situation is, and then push 0:06:41.720 --> 0:06:46.280 it to solve that particular problem. That is what I'm 0:06:46.320 --> 0:06:48.800 focused on right now building these types of tools, And 0:06:48.839 --> 0:06:53.400 the first thing is to create these personas so that 0:06:53.480 --> 0:06:57.440 intelligence sounds the way we sound. What does that mean? 0:06:57.600 --> 0:06:59.159 Most people be like, we're talking about what I am 0:06:59.240 --> 0:07:01.320 you saying? We don't sound intelligent. Nope, that's not what 0:07:01.360 --> 0:07:03.800 I'm saying. I'm saying if you get these ais right 0:07:03.839 --> 0:07:08.560 now and these corporations that are bringing these ais to 0:07:08.560 --> 0:07:13.320 to culture and society, they don't sound like us. We 0:07:13.400 --> 0:07:16.520 are having to change how we speak and how we 0:07:16.600 --> 0:07:20.360 behave to some tool that hasn't been trained by us, 0:07:20.840 --> 0:07:25.720 that doesn't have the same types of you know, vernaculars 0:07:25.520 --> 0:07:27.880 and the way it expresses itself. So why do we 0:07:28.000 --> 0:07:30.360 have to change the way we talk to talk to 0:07:30.600 --> 0:07:34.360 something that's intelligent? And why can't that programmed intelligence sound 0:07:34.440 --> 0:07:39.880 like us? Is what my urgency is, Like, there's gonna 0:07:39.880 --> 0:07:43.000 be a bias, so why can't we also solve that 0:07:43.040 --> 0:07:47.120 bias and making a system that rocks, Like how we. 0:07:47.160 --> 0:07:49.400 Rock, Yeah, because I was reading actually was reading this 0:07:49.400 --> 0:07:53.080 this morning's funny is AI racially biased? Study finds chatbox 0:07:53.160 --> 0:07:56.200 treat black sounding names differently. So if you say your 0:07:56.280 --> 0:07:59.239 name is Tamika and you know you're a job candidate, 0:07:59.280 --> 0:08:01.559 they'll offer you a salary of like seventy nine thousand, 0:08:01.560 --> 0:08:03.000 three hundred and seventy five. But if you switch your 0:08:03.080 --> 0:08:06.480 name to Todd, it boosts suggested salary to eighty two thousands. 0:08:06.480 --> 0:08:09.720 So it's like that's all based on who's creating the program. 0:08:09.520 --> 0:08:12.920 Right, So you have the those are called data biases 0:08:12.960 --> 0:08:17.280 algorithmic prices, and that's primarily because the folks that are 0:08:17.280 --> 0:08:20.600 training the data ain't us. The folks that are building 0:08:20.640 --> 0:08:24.320 the algorithms ain't us. So we could you could think 0:08:24.360 --> 0:08:28.240 that's malicious, and some of it is, but it's also 0:08:28.480 --> 0:08:34.160 malicious from the policy makers on who has been guided 0:08:34.200 --> 0:08:37.000 to go down that path to be data scientists and 0:08:37.080 --> 0:08:43.040 algorithmic programmers and you know, data trainers. And so that's 0:08:43.080 --> 0:08:46.000 the reason why like my focus on the philanthropic side 0:08:46.240 --> 0:08:48.040 is to go to the inner city, starting with the 0:08:48.040 --> 0:08:51.280 one that I came from, to get kids up to 0:08:51.280 --> 0:08:54.680 speed with robotics and computer science, and so my program 0:08:54.720 --> 0:08:59.400 serves about fourteen thousand students in LA. We're across almost 0:08:59.400 --> 0:09:03.520 over three hundred schools in LA with our partnership with 0:09:03.640 --> 0:09:06.880 la USD to address that very points, because we need 0:09:06.880 --> 0:09:12.640 more data scientists, more computer scientists to solve these data biases. 0:09:13.000 --> 0:09:14.600 Do you think it should be it should stop in 0:09:14.640 --> 0:09:16.679 certain places like you talk about the positive and the 0:09:16.720 --> 0:09:20.000 positive effects, but like then hip hop the other day 0:09:20.040 --> 0:09:22.720 we heard an alleged Kendrick reply and they said that 0:09:22.840 --> 0:09:23.199 was AI. 0:09:23.280 --> 0:09:25.640 We've seen these pictures that justed. We're seeing this AI. 0:09:25.920 --> 0:09:28.000 We're seeing a lot of students now that are actually 0:09:28.320 --> 0:09:30.240 not writing reports now because they could put it in 0:09:30.320 --> 0:09:33.079 their chat, GPT and AIO generate papers for them. 0:09:33.080 --> 0:09:34.600 What happens with its world leaders? 0:09:34.920 --> 0:09:38.040 World leaders saying, you know things on social media, you 0:09:38.040 --> 0:09:40.120 can't tell if it's Biden putin. 0:09:40.160 --> 0:09:41.079 You don't know what's going on. 0:09:44.440 --> 0:09:49.200 That's happened before. Some smaller version of that with photoshop, 0:09:50.240 --> 0:09:53.520 that's happened before, some smaller version of that with calculators. 0:09:54.320 --> 0:09:56.559 You know, people ain't doing their math homework. They own 0:09:56.559 --> 0:10:00.320 a calculator, and the calculators given the answers. Man saw 0:10:00.360 --> 0:10:03.120 this picture of such and such with such and such 0:10:03.280 --> 0:10:07.160 that was done on photoshop or man I just saw 0:10:08.000 --> 0:10:10.000 back in the day day day, I saw the picture 0:10:10.000 --> 0:10:13.040 of the Queen with some that was a painting. So 0:10:13.080 --> 0:10:16.320 we just have a hyper you know, volume way up 0:10:16.360 --> 0:10:19.240 to a thousand version of that. And as a society, 0:10:19.320 --> 0:10:23.679 we have to educate everyone on what the compute is 0:10:23.800 --> 0:10:27.679 capable of now and that dialogue needs to be echoed 0:10:27.720 --> 0:10:29.480 around the world to where we now have to ask 0:10:30.600 --> 0:10:34.720 what's real from what's fake. You go to supermarket back 0:10:34.760 --> 0:10:37.839 in early two thousands, you bought a orange, then people 0:10:37.880 --> 0:10:40.560 push for regulations be like, nah, now we got organic 0:10:40.600 --> 0:10:45.040 oranges because people didn't know that stuff was like genetically modified. 0:10:45.720 --> 0:10:49.640 Right when my mom was young, there were no such 0:10:49.720 --> 0:10:53.839 thing as like organic oranges. Everything was organic, and then 0:10:53.920 --> 0:10:57.520 something came into existence to where stuff started getting modified 0:10:57.840 --> 0:11:00.120 to where now you have two types of oranges in 0:11:00.120 --> 0:11:05.320 a damned supermarket. So that that education is super important, 0:11:05.360 --> 0:11:10.320 so people know what they are interfaced with. Is it real? 0:11:11.280 --> 0:11:13.720 Is it up? Is it going down? The ingredients on 0:11:13.760 --> 0:11:16.720 the back of every package is there? Same needs to 0:11:16.720 --> 0:11:18.240 be for AI. 0:11:18.480 --> 0:11:21.000 Can humans handle that with thoughts though, like if I 0:11:21.080 --> 0:11:23.960 hear you know something from a world leader, and I 0:11:24.000 --> 0:11:26.360 got to decide, is this an organic thought from our 0:11:26.400 --> 0:11:28.040 world leader or a GMO thought? 0:11:28.320 --> 0:11:30.240 Can we handle that as people. 0:11:33.520 --> 0:11:33.920 And time? 0:11:34.000 --> 0:11:37.760 Yeah? What if it's calling for a nuclear war and 0:11:37.800 --> 0:11:38.440 we don't have time. 0:11:38.520 --> 0:11:40.640 What if it's a world leader hearing another world leader 0:11:40.679 --> 0:11:42.280 thing I just hit a nuke button or something. 0:11:43.200 --> 0:11:48.800 I hope. I'm from an optimistic lens. The powers that 0:11:48.920 --> 0:11:52.440 be don't have the same access to technology that we have, 0:11:53.360 --> 0:11:58.120 so they probably have some type of vetting system that 0:11:58.160 --> 0:12:03.160 when information comes in, stuff is watermarked with some way 0:12:03.200 --> 0:12:08.520 to identify what's real from what's foe when information comes in. 0:12:09.200 --> 0:12:13.800 Because there's if we have if I could build stuff 0:12:13.840 --> 0:12:16.600 like this with you know, assembling teams and have ideas 0:12:16.600 --> 0:12:20.720 and visions and the team you know takes those ideas 0:12:20.720 --> 0:12:24.240 and visions and improves on them or like ships on them, 0:12:24.280 --> 0:12:26.040 like no, no, maybe we should do it like this 0:12:26.160 --> 0:12:28.360 and that type of banter then to then come with 0:12:28.440 --> 0:12:34.240 a product. Imagine what you know leaders of governments have 0:12:34.880 --> 0:12:38.160 Imagine with their R and D and their you know 0:12:38.920 --> 0:12:43.920 process to their processes to you know, to vet are 0:12:44.040 --> 0:12:50.400 far beyond. So that's just my optimistic perspective because the Mormon, 0:12:50.480 --> 0:12:52.920 I knowing the things that I know. If I go 0:12:53.000 --> 0:12:55.880 down that rabbit hole, I'm not getting out of bed. 0:12:56.840 --> 0:13:00.360 So I have to have an optimistic perspective. You know 0:13:00.880 --> 0:13:06.680 last year. Last year I got an invite that were like, hey, 0:13:06.720 --> 0:13:09.600 we want you to come be a part of these 0:13:09.640 --> 0:13:15.000 dialogues at the Vatican. The Vatican put together this AI Council. 0:13:16.120 --> 0:13:18.760 I'm like, what the Vatican and AI? What's that about? 0:13:18.880 --> 0:13:23.920 So I went and participated. Everyone that's working in AI 0:13:24.240 --> 0:13:26.839 was to you know, share the things that they're working on. 0:13:27.320 --> 0:13:31.920 So we have folks from Open AI, there, Microsoft, Google, Anthropic, 0:13:32.720 --> 0:13:37.960 you know, Stanford, Mit Berkeley. Yet all the folks that 0:13:38.000 --> 0:13:41.960 are either pushing AI, working on these foundation models or 0:13:42.360 --> 0:13:45.480 in systems sharing the work that they're working on, and 0:13:45.520 --> 0:13:50.680 then sharing their concerns, sharing the things that they have 0:13:50.800 --> 0:13:56.200 been researching and then vow to never release, and the worries. 0:13:56.559 --> 0:13:59.040 So when you're in those types of conversations and these 0:13:59.080 --> 0:14:02.600 types of worries, first couple of days was like unsettling, 0:14:02.679 --> 0:14:06.560 like oh man, damn. Then the second session was an 0:14:06.559 --> 0:14:10.680 optimistic session, and we had one this year as well. 0:14:11.280 --> 0:14:16.160 But I always I like to keep an optimistic lens 0:14:16.200 --> 0:14:20.640 on that's the way to use my imagination. I don't 0:14:20.640 --> 0:14:23.400 think it could ever get worse for folks that are 0:14:23.440 --> 0:14:25.560 really actually going through some real hard times. 0:14:25.800 --> 0:14:27.920 What's the dress code for these Illuminati meetings when you 0:14:27.960 --> 0:14:28.600 go to the bat. 0:14:29.840 --> 0:14:32.200 I don't know they got they got Illuminati throws like 0:14:32.240 --> 0:14:32.760 you just. 0:14:35.440 --> 0:14:38.200 Wait is this and will just not here talking. He 0:14:38.200 --> 0:14:41.160 has a new company called f Yi Ai is an 0:14:41.160 --> 0:14:42.360 AI based company. 0:14:42.960 --> 0:14:45.760 Yeah, I've been I've been in the AI space since 0:14:45.760 --> 0:14:50.920 two thousand and nine. So there is one video that 0:14:50.960 --> 0:14:54.320 we did back on the on the the intro to 0:14:54.960 --> 0:14:59.480 I'm gonna be so I come with this suitcase? Next, 0:15:01.600 --> 0:15:02.040 where's that? 0:15:02.360 --> 0:15:02.760 What is that? 0:15:03.480 --> 0:15:08.600 This right here is the future. I input my voice, 0:15:09.280 --> 0:15:14.560 high notes, my low notes, then the whole English vocabulary. 0:15:15.160 --> 0:15:17.200 What you're able to do with that because of this 0:15:17.520 --> 0:15:21.640 artificial intelligence, Like when it's time to make a new song, 0:15:21.880 --> 0:15:24.920 I just type in the lyrics and then this thing says, 0:15:24.960 --> 0:15:29.160 it says, it wraps, it talks it. So the cats, wow, 0:15:29.720 --> 0:15:31.840 the cats that built a lot of these technologies saw 0:15:31.840 --> 0:15:36.280 this fourteen years ago. And fourteen years ago the Transformer 0:15:36.280 --> 0:15:40.120 paper wasn't written. It's seven years ago for the Transformer 0:15:40.160 --> 0:15:42.480 paper for those that do know what the Transformer paper. 0:15:43.280 --> 0:15:48.080 The Transformer paper was was this research program out of 0:15:48.120 --> 0:15:51.320 Google Labs or Google Brain, one of the two, and 0:15:51.360 --> 0:15:54.960 they wrote this paper, and from that paper came this 0:15:56.000 --> 0:16:02.320 whole new way of bringing to market tu AI or 0:16:02.920 --> 0:16:05.200 what came from that was a consumer version of AI 0:16:05.920 --> 0:16:09.920 that GPT launched from that paper. So the T in 0:16:10.000 --> 0:16:13.200 GPT's stands for transformer, which is a paper written by Google. 0:16:13.840 --> 0:16:16.400 And so a lot of the things that people were 0:16:17.680 --> 0:16:20.760 excited about in the field of AI back in early 0:16:20.800 --> 0:16:25.360 two thousands wasn't plausible until that paper was written. So 0:16:25.800 --> 0:16:28.760 I've been excited about the field since two thousand and 0:16:28.920 --> 0:16:30.920 eight when I first found out about seven and eight 0:16:30.960 --> 0:16:32.720 when I first found out about it, did this video 0:16:32.800 --> 0:16:38.320 in twenty ten, invested in companies in twenty twelve, thirteen fourteen, 0:16:40.560 --> 0:16:43.880 had a watch that spoke in twenty and fourteen that 0:16:43.920 --> 0:16:46.840 we launched with three Mobile and AT and T here 0:16:46.840 --> 0:16:49.320 in America, but nobody wanted to watch. That was a 0:16:49.360 --> 0:16:54.880 phone that early in twenty thirteen. Now, so I've been like, 0:16:55.280 --> 0:16:58.360 you know, doing things. Some of the things I did 0:16:58.440 --> 0:17:03.800 didn't work. Beats worked silently, part partner there, but that 0:17:03.920 --> 0:17:06.960 was an AI but my proceeds, I went out and 0:17:07.000 --> 0:17:12.720 like invested in companies in Israel, Bangalore, developers from Palestine. 0:17:14.480 --> 0:17:16.840 I just love the field, you know, it's a pretty 0:17:16.840 --> 0:17:20.480 pretty awesome realm to solve problems around. 0:17:20.560 --> 0:17:23.760 So question when you did that video, did that technology 0:17:23.800 --> 0:17:26.600 already exist? Are they got that that was the seed 0:17:26.760 --> 0:17:27.560 for their idea? 0:17:28.040 --> 0:17:29.560 All that technology didn't exist? 0:17:29.760 --> 0:17:31.359 So that you were the seed for their idea? 0:17:32.240 --> 0:17:35.880 Mm hmmm something like that. 0:17:37.480 --> 0:17:40.080 Well, congratulations, you're about to graduate from Harvard. 0:17:40.560 --> 0:17:46.360 Yeah, this is October. What can teach you a lot 0:17:46.400 --> 0:17:52.240 of stuff? Bro business, managing teams, learning from other people's 0:17:52.359 --> 0:17:56.400 uh stumbles, you can you can learn a lot, especially 0:17:56.440 --> 0:17:59.440 where this this journey that I'm on, this mission that 0:17:59.480 --> 0:18:03.840 I'm on, I need more information to get to where 0:18:03.840 --> 0:18:07.440 I want to go next. And I needed it not 0:18:07.480 --> 0:18:16.320 only information, I needed new networking, uh relationships in different fields. 0:18:16.359 --> 0:18:20.520 Like I met folks that that build uh data centers. 0:18:21.600 --> 0:18:24.320 Never never run into people that build data centers. So 0:18:24.400 --> 0:18:28.280 one of my classmates build data centers. 0:18:28.600 --> 0:18:30.520 So you're actually in class, you're not online? You go 0:18:30.520 --> 0:18:30.919 to class. 0:18:31.240 --> 0:18:32.400 Yeah, I'm in the dorms. 0:18:32.600 --> 0:18:36.280 Really you're doing what? Look crazy? You must have all 0:18:36.280 --> 0:18:37.760 types of futuristic. 0:18:38.840 --> 0:18:40.880 Stuff, and I just got my little, my little one 0:18:40.880 --> 0:18:46.840 of those suitcase. I take five outfits and rotate those 0:18:46.840 --> 0:18:50.280 five outfits. No draws. I just buy draws every week 0:18:50.840 --> 0:18:55.120 and socks. It's that That's the life I love. I love, 0:18:55.640 --> 0:18:58.199 I love being able to go back. It will be 0:18:58.240 --> 0:19:00.800 my first time ever graduating on stage. Never graduated on 0:19:00.840 --> 0:19:03.680 stage junior, high school or high school. 0:19:04.000 --> 0:19:06.040 Yeah, we didn't need to know you didn't have no draws. 0:19:06.080 --> 0:19:06.480 I mean. 0:19:08.320 --> 0:19:09.760 It was really no point, you know, because if I 0:19:09.760 --> 0:19:13.480 said I got five outfits in the bag, somebody's imaginations 0:19:13.480 --> 0:19:16.840 like draws and draws. 0:19:16.880 --> 0:19:18.840 Like we assume we have two bass and too brush. 0:19:19.000 --> 0:19:20.679 No, no, you don't try to. 0:19:23.680 --> 0:19:26.280 Think about draws. 0:19:26.760 --> 0:19:27.440 I get them. 0:19:27.480 --> 0:19:29.320 He buys them fresh every week. 0:19:29.560 --> 0:19:32.720 Right now, every imagine not forgetting to put on your 0:19:32.720 --> 0:19:33.480 speak on your neck. 0:19:38.880 --> 0:19:42.600 Headlines, you know that, right Well, draws, no dis door. 0:19:42.800 --> 0:19:46.560 See that's that's that's how you get there. That's that's 0:19:46.560 --> 0:19:47.760 how he spreading in rumors. 0:19:47.840 --> 0:19:50.480 I posted something that you said a couple of weeks ago, 0:19:50.720 --> 0:19:53.480 and you were talking about how more they're they're investing 0:19:53.520 --> 0:19:57.280 more into robots than into humans. And then you want 0:19:57.320 --> 0:19:59.840 to paraphrase, and you wonder why people are stupid. 0:20:01.000 --> 0:20:07.639 No, now, not stupid, that's harsh on people. Just my 0:20:07.720 --> 0:20:11.720 two paths, my entrepreneurial path by philanthropic path. I've been 0:20:11.760 --> 0:20:16.840 able to raise more money for AI personally than raising 0:20:16.920 --> 0:20:20.199 money for the foundation. So my comparisons was not just 0:20:20.280 --> 0:20:26.280 like it was not just like a vague perspective or 0:20:26.359 --> 0:20:32.680 like this umbrella you know perspective. It was a personal perspective. 0:20:32.840 --> 0:20:37.520 Also looking at you know, inner city investment for education 0:20:37.760 --> 0:20:43.080 versus inner city investment for data centers, inner city investment 0:20:43.200 --> 0:20:48.960 for you know, terminals and the way phones. We all 0:20:49.000 --> 0:20:53.840 need connectivity. We also have this connectivity gap where folks 0:20:53.880 --> 0:20:57.760 don't have you know, connection in rural areas. So you 0:20:57.840 --> 0:21:02.280 have awesome AI coming no investment for education in inner cities. 0:21:02.640 --> 0:21:07.760 Some developing countries don't even have access to connectivity. Wow, 0:21:08.640 --> 0:21:13.800 folks that do have devices, they are there's these business 0:21:13.800 --> 0:21:21.320 models that that are making folks addicted to features that 0:21:21.600 --> 0:21:25.520 dumb us down right. The behavior is rewarding us for 0:21:27.320 --> 0:21:33.280 content that keeps us on this this this hamster will Wow. 0:21:33.400 --> 0:21:39.520 We're using emojis and freaking memes to communicate, and the 0:21:39.560 --> 0:21:44.920 machine is being trained to break down quantum physics and 0:21:45.000 --> 0:21:49.719 quantum entanglement. So that to me is like, Okay, where 0:21:49.840 --> 0:21:52.480 does this go? And how do we curb it? How 0:21:52.480 --> 0:21:59.879 do we get control back? Right? And I'm optimistic. I 0:22:00.119 --> 0:22:03.480 think we will come around it. But you have to 0:22:03.520 --> 0:22:05.520 identify the trip wires. You have to be like, hey, 0:22:05.520 --> 0:22:09.440 look what's happening. Here's how we can you know, be 0:22:09.440 --> 0:22:13.040 better off ten years from now. So a ten year 0:22:13.080 --> 0:22:17.000 old now when they twenty, it's gonna be eight when 0:22:17.000 --> 0:22:20.520 we identify it. If we don't identify it ten year old, 0:22:20.520 --> 0:22:23.760 that's twenty. Yo, yep, I don't know. 0:22:24.359 --> 0:22:24.840 I love this. 0:22:25.280 --> 0:22:26.760 I love this because it's like, yo, these hoods that 0:22:26.800 --> 0:22:30.240 we come from, these points, disfranchised areas, this country has 0:22:30.240 --> 0:22:32.520 shown us that they may not always they may not 0:22:32.520 --> 0:22:35.760 put the investments financially and the resources you know into 0:22:35.800 --> 0:22:38.480 these communities, but they will put them into these this 0:22:38.640 --> 0:22:40.520 technics AI. So how about we go to the tech 0:22:40.520 --> 0:22:43.880 and AI they will benefit from resources. 0:22:44.040 --> 0:22:44.240 Yeah. 0:22:44.280 --> 0:22:47.640 So there's some there's some ten year old, twelve year 0:22:47.680 --> 0:22:52.040 old and some inner city that's like they love mid journey. 0:22:52.920 --> 0:22:56.359 They haven't really got their their imagination and their brains 0:22:56.359 --> 0:23:01.080 around you know AI. Yet as far as being contributors 0:23:01.080 --> 0:23:05.200 to it and and flexing with it. But some big 0:23:05.240 --> 0:23:10.960 company in twenty thirty four is gonna come from Fifth Ward. 0:23:11.119 --> 0:23:16.760 It's gonna come from the Bronx, It's gonna come from Watts, 0:23:16.840 --> 0:23:20.000 it's gonna come from South Side Chicago. Somebody is going 0:23:20.040 --> 0:23:23.080 to crack the code and do something massive. 0:23:24.200 --> 0:23:24.800 In this space. 0:23:27.080 --> 0:23:27.800 What did you deal? 0:23:29.800 --> 0:23:33.720 My son is twelve. We need to get on that. Yes, No, seriously, 0:23:33.880 --> 0:23:36.679 he's already into like software and tech and all that 0:23:36.720 --> 0:23:38.159 type of stuff, Like he wants to go to school 0:23:38.160 --> 0:23:39.960 for engineering and building all. 0:23:39.800 --> 0:23:40.800 Types of stuff like that. 0:23:40.920 --> 0:23:43.720 So he we thought it was sports, but he's like, no, 0:23:43.840 --> 0:23:45.920 I was just playing sports because that's what y'all wanted 0:23:45.920 --> 0:23:48.320 me to do. But I'm really into computers and he 0:23:48.400 --> 0:23:49.880 loves that and he's been doing that for the last 0:23:49.880 --> 0:23:50.359 two years. 0:23:50.359 --> 0:23:51.240 So that's dope. 0:23:51.280 --> 0:23:53.280
