#20 Mind Reading, AI gold rush, GPT-5 Codex

Nice. We're in. We are live. Cool. I'm seeing it on all fronts. It's all kick cooking on gas. Wonderful. How's your week been? It's been amazing. Uh stress free. Sensing a bit of sarcasm there. Or Yeah, sarcasm maybe. Yeah. So, let me tell you about a mistake that I did. Um, do you know the meme actually? Um, can can you screen share for a second? And with this meme that I sent, where is the meme? Send me in the private chat. Yeah. Yeah, I I sent it. No, you didn't. Oh, okay. So, interesting. So, you won't see the private chat before joining the the chat. Oh, okay. Yeah. You ready for this, guys? We better It better be faking hilarious right now.

It's a web floor thing that happened. Okay. Right. You ready, guys? Prepare to All right. So, you know this from the Interstellar. Interstellar. This little maneuver going to cost us 51. Love. No. No. I don't love this scene. Yeah. Go on. Yeah, I know. Yeah, but you know the meme. So I I made a mistake yesterday. You know, Microsoft Clarity, you use it. It's it's an amazing tool. You install it on your website to see your analytics. And yesterday I installed it on a client's website that is supposed to go live today in a few hours. Need to mention the website was not ready to be published. it. I was supposed to add this and get things ready for today to publish.

Okay. So, I added Microsoft Clarity app to to the website through Webflow. And then Microsoft Clarity tells me publish changes. And I I gave it a second to think like publish changes. What could it be? It's it's pop it's adding Microsoft Clarity to the website. Sure. Well, that button was actually responsible for publishing the unfinished website to the domain to the main domain. So, I just by accident published the entire website unfinished. Don't tell the client to the main domain by accident. How did you built this website on web flow? Yes. So, how did how did Microsoft Clarity have the ability to publish? Because as an app, apparently the app has the publishing access. Oh, yeah.

Yeah. Well, turn can you turn that off because that's not really I don't think so. No one needs to be publishing a website from inside Microsoft Clarity. Yeah. I I need to check like how this could be prevented. But anyway, I published the website and it's, you know, obviously unfinished. I panicked because it's on the main domain. It's not on the staging. I panicked and well, not panicked, but but it was a stressful five minutes. And that's why like this little maneuver uh was like a joke I sent in the Discord chat with my team. I said, I made this mistake. So I had to revert to the backup before making changes. Good thing and do this always before going into like making big changes.

We make a manual update, a manual backup with a name that you can find because who goes back in date and see like you know just a name. So I found it very fast, reverted back to that backup, published it to the main domain and then went back to the newest backup and then reverted back again and published to the staging. So yeah, it it took like three, four, five minutes, but man, you don't want to see unfinished website. No. For your client. And I know how kind of tempting it is to get something live. Hang on. You're you're going live on a Friday. Yeah, we rule number one. Yes. Rule number two, go live on unsociable hours.

just, you know, it sucks to be awake at, you know, midnight or 11 p.m. or or 5 in the morning or whatever, but make, you know, what make ch do these things in unsociable hours, you know, because it's just a god, this stuff sucks when stuff like that happens. I mean, presumably no one had the URL, right? Like always it's a it's a main No. So, no, it was a live website. That's why Yeah. Yeah. So, You know what though? You know what? This stuff happens. No one lost a No one lost a limb. I was working for a company. Here we go. I was working for a company called Talk Talk Talk. They're a pretty big telecommunications company and I took down their entire website by publishing something some broken code.

And we can still leave the We can still leave that up. We can still leave this up. Yeah. So, you had a maneuver as well. I had a maneuver. I've forgotten exactly what it was, but I was I was responsible for for implementing a complete rearchitecture of their accessibility. I needed to make their whole website accessible. And I was one of like the only people who could actually do it. And and I pushed some code that was just yeah, broken. And it took down their website. um all for a matter of 30 seconds but probably a little bit longer but because they have proper roll back systems in place and all the rest of it was a lot easier for me to whatever but Jesus Christ and I was like I I can't remember if I told I must have done but I think I think it was a bet a case of like do you know what no one's you know no one's dead you know we're not saving lives here and it's a great we I think I think I I can't remember.

I can't remember. I think I had I I think I recall doing some sort of like, you know, what happened, why did it happen, and whatever. But the systems were in place. It was human error and I'm just a dumbass. That's all it was. You know, it was human error. So the good thing about the debriefs is that you can say um well you know again if they didn't have a simple roll back thing I literally just went into GitLab or wherever the deployment service was. I just went in just said undo everything was in place. There's nothing technically you know maybe some tests or something um or some sort of you know uh double confirm.

Maybe they shouldn't have given me frigin admin rights, but you know, it is what it is. Um, we're not saving lives here, so um, no sweat. Do does the client know? Uh, sorry. What? No. Um, because I did literally everything in four or five minutes. But I think I will tell them like uh once we have a meeting because we are like communicating right now as per email. But after launch I will say guys you know just just full clarity I clarity okay no pun intended but I went I went live live one day early for five minutes and this is a full rebrand that's why they we wanted to keep it quite separate. Yeah.

Yeah. Um, and yeah, as a debrief, if we're going to if we're going to call this that, like, uh, definitely try and remove publishing rights from, you know, so there's one source of truth sort of thing, unless your pipeline is going to be we always go through CL whatever that Microsoft tool is. Let's we always go through that. That's going to be our play remove uh, publishing rights from that bloody app. Do you know what I mean? Like I don't know whether that that's a feature you can turn on and off but because the app has the right to add the code like custom code to your website and that that's what the app does when you sign in through the app and everything.

It's just it's a I yeah I believe this is just an iframe probably or something very similar and then it adds the the custom code that you would manually add. It just adds it. But this uh save changes or like publish changes. Publish changes. Yeah. It shouldn't publish it to the main domain. No. And did it give you a secondary warning as well? Yeah. Yeah. Or like show me the option or just tell me by publishing changes, save changes or publish changes, you know. Anyway, anyway, um you can ask me how my week has gone. Yeah. How is your week? Uh, have you put on any um content in the new format out? Uh, what new format?

The the Instagram format. Have you seen like the the super thin format? Oh, no. I saw something to do with that. No, I don't I don't I you know, my personality rejects trends and I'm in the worst industry being a you know, let's call it influencer, let's call it content person. I just reject trends. I'm like, "Oh, god." Doing the same Um, well, we we make AI content. Yeah, but we're not copying. We're not We're not regurgitating stuff like we're not jumping on on any kind of regurgitate thing. We're just doing what we like. Um, my week is fantastic. Do you want to know why? Yeah, tell me. As people trickle in, you might have noticed a new background.

You might have noticed a little new logo. We're growing. Yeah, we're getting big boys. We are in in a big boys club with a new branding with a proper branding. Shout out to our designer Ryan. He's just amazing in taste. And uh maybe another time we show this once we like fully showcase everything next week. Maybe we can show it. We went through a few a few directions and then uh Ryan said like let me do this the way I I do it and then he came up with this and we both got really happy with it. Yeah. Yeah. Um I love the green. Love green is my favorite color. So that's good. But yeah, we'll be rolling out a bunch of stuff over the week and trickling out.

But this is the I guess the official launch. color hide it now. Color of grass because you know we are not developers. We touch a bunch of grass every day. Yeah. Uh so yeah, what else has been I mean it's been a it's been a a slow start to the week because I was in a different literally a different country. I was in Wales uh and then traveling back to to London. But um I've just been building. I'm helping a mate uh take his Vibe Code app and build it into something production worthy, which has been really really cool. Um we've just added Slack, a Slack bot now, so you can literally recall things from Slack.

So I've learned a little bit about Okay. Slack uh integrations now. Um what else have I done? Um are you like cleaning up his code or like you're expanding? No. No, I'm not cleaning up his code. And to Well, yes and no to be honest. I mean because I'm becoming more familiar with certainly because it's was started in Replet and I'm quite familiar with how Replet likes to do things. So I as a kind of sort of pro bono offer I said look let me get familiar with it. Let me clean it up. Let me just figure out how where all the files, you know, and all that kind of stuff. And I did that just as an offering and it kind of get me up to speed and I cleaned a few things up and um but ultimately yeah it was it's kind of I've got a good system with clawed code where I get it to always fix TypeScript errors and get it to always write tests.

Test runs a bit funny and I've got a really interesting sponsor in my next video next week which I I you know um I'm quite excited to share with people. That's the thing, you know, from a content creator sponsor perspective, like I've really I'm really doubling down on tools that I genuinely am passionate about and genuinely think my audience would find interesting. Um, yeah, I've been quite brutal with a few sponsors coming in. This is just me learning to be a an influencer, a content creator. Yeah, I mean, if you can be genuine with it, this is the right way of doing it. And you don't have to follow any trends. M yeah do exactly right designers you're terrible I I saw this trend with the new like 5,000 by 1080 uhp um trend it's just a new size it's a new size that Instagram supports and I don't know why it like if you see it in the feed it's a thin like extremely thin line but whatever people jumped on it and we did also a video uh on Instagram showcasing our work and I all I wanted to say regarding this is in today's age where we have so much AI and we have like so much you know we talked about it last week that the web is dead in the in its old form how do you showcase your work whatever your work is how do you showcase your work where are people people are on social media so how do you get in front of their eyes because we don't have SEO on Instagram What we have is trends.

So you got to follow trends if you want to get in in front of people's eyes. And who are like the trend makers and trends setters are these like new generation of people and creators on Instagram and these similar apps. Uh Gen Z if you wish uh making all these techy edits or whatever like some stuff that we might not understand. Um, but yeah, I I saw this and I immediately asked uh our editor, can you create something? And he did. And we got 10K views on it already since last night. And I think this is the way that we can showcase our work if there is no other way. But you can't see anything.

True. Well, as much as in general in this case, yes, you are right. you you see a little bit. You see a tiny bit. I think I you know it reminds me of when HD was available on YouTube and it first became available on YouTube and we I was making content for I had a theater company and we were making content and I was like we should put HD in the title. You need to put HD in the title because that's what people are doing and it didn't it didn't give us anything. It didn't give us any kind of reach or whatever. And the thing is what's I mean something for you to consider but what's that really doing for your brand?

like you're just you're just one of many. And and you know what they say, it doesn't quite work because I'm British and we don't say we say niches. We don't say niches. The riches are in the niches. Oh, and if you're if you're you know, and you know, I've got some stuff to share offline that um you know, some other good stuff that happened to me this week. Well, today in fact actually like um where I'm I'm very much speaking to a very specific very small number of people and you're able to just cut right through but you know to each zone to each zone. Yeah. Well uh I have a call after the the the live somebody called booked a call in my calendar and they found me on Instagram.

Very good. Well, you know, it it different. You got to be comfortable with how you're putting yourself out there. You got to be how people are finding you, who's finding you. Um, let's hope it's a good one. You you you reminded me actually. Someone contacted me through my website today, which uh this week, which was kind of odd, but I've I've added them through LinkedIn to say I've received a contact because it wasn't an email. It was a contact message and it was, you know, a normal message. It was like, "Hey, I really like this bit of work." Whatever. It seems authentic, but I've being the pessimist, I um I added him on LinkedIn, just said, "Look, I'm adding you on here just to do my due diligence, just to check that this wasn't spam."

Yeah. So, I haven't heard back from him, but that was quite a you know, I don't I never expect people to find me through the website. I'm very much a not a cold outreach, but I will speak to people and work my way through individuals as opposed to kind of whatever. But anyway, um, other than that, it's been a it's been a pretty pretty busy week in AI. Yeah, I see we have a a list to go through, so maybe we should. Wow. Do you want to read your little intro thing? Yeah, sure. So, this week we have a device that can read your thoughts. Welcome to everybody's nightmares. Uh, Google added Gemini to Google Chrome, a new AI in right in your Chrome.

And with Notion, now you can instead of like doing things yourself, you can just tell it to do things for you with their new agent. All of this and more in today's episode. This is Command AI. I'm Kavarzo. And I am Sam. And this is a week in AI in design and dev. Awesome. We have a long list to go through starting with Gemini in Chrome. I didn't know this until you added it and I'm really happy to see it. Wow. Comet um and Dia have now got an arch nemesis. I mean Opera have got one. Neon I think it's called. uh you know, yeah, I mean, at the end of the day, Google finally caved and uh to the AI brows awards and Gemini is now available inside of Chrome, but it has some catches.

Um, it does everything you expect. You know, it's not doing anything massively new. It's not, you know, you can summarize pages, you can ask it questions, you can reference tabs. All of this stuff we've come to expect from an AI browser. Um, unfortunately it's US only, which is a bit crap. I downloaded it. I tried to use it. I was like, "Where is it?" I was like, "Oh, it's US only, which is a bit of a shame." Um, and there's a the big selling point for all this, which again, maybe I think it's maybe a skill issue, but it it doesn't quite have the agentic doing things for you uh just yet. And I feel like that's like the thing that you need to have like when you launch, you need to have that agentic because everyone can summarize, you know, we we've got plenty of tools to summarize uh web pages now, but it is what it is.

Um and there's this what the the one new feature that I liked, maybe it's here somewhere, it's a recall. So you can say like something like what was I looking at? Uh something to do with this, this, and this. talk through, get help, mastery. Where is it? It's I mean, need I say more? It's a recall feature. So, that was quite a nice little addition. Well, it's interesting. But this is like your history. Through AI. That that that's actually a good feature. And I wonder how far back it goes because of course it's Google. Of course, it's got your history, you know, whatever. So, I wonder if you can even go back, you know, what was I looking at two years ago?

um and start digging into your entire history. But uh yeah, no idea. And just because we're in Europe, I'm in Europe. Um VPN, can we access it with a VPN as in not not from a from a um accessibility stand? I'm talking about how far our data goes back as a GDPR. Yeah. Yeah. Do they remove it after a year or something like this? I don't know. But um we'll see. We'll see. We'll see. Can we access it with VPN? Oh, I was going to try, but uh I I'll probably end up dropping out of the call. So, um that's fine. Probably works on your account settings, right? And where your account is set up, but give it a go.

Give it a go. See how it is. Yeah, I'll try it. The only thing Oh, go on. Yeah. You're saying this huge company Atlassian paid what? $600700 million for DIA, but now they could have it for free. Why? Oh, what? Because of the AI and Chrome and stuff like that. I was just teasing. Yeah. Did they say anything about needing a subscription to because they actually have like a $4 subscription? I don't know if you knew that. Yeah, they they added like some student type of subscription. It's not even that. Let me see if I can find it. uh Gemini uh price I'm also chatting with the audience here on my Instagram they are saying like uh the audience is Farsy speaking why are we speaking English so can you speak far um I don't even know how to say yes in far unfortunately yes would be a well what's no because I can't no is no Yeah.

Um, yeah, I'm looking. Here we go. So, I'm just looking on Google now. Oh, no. I just want a prices page. I just want just want a prices page. Um, but you get it in works. Oh, I think you do actually because I remember seeing something you need workspace and you get it in workspace and stuff like that. So, it might it still might be charged. Like I think we're far from people giving AI away for free to be honest. um as we'll get into in the gold rush later on. But uh yeah, the only thing here is is that the only person to express some sort of concern on safety is Claude because they're waiting to release their extension and they're not doing it just yet because you can of course worm in a few prompts into the source code of your website which it will then you know it may I haven't seen any evidence of this but it you know it's just a very risky thing to tiptoe around where you can sort of manipulate an agent by writing prompts in your source code.

So um now this is getting more mainstream. It's in a browser that is probably the most used browser in the world. I mean I don't know whether you know that which maybe it should be Chrome uh or maybe Safari. Safari is also uh but no it's probably Chrome. You should know this as developer. I know. I was I'm getting up right now. Uh, what is the most used browser on Earth? Uh, 2025. Um, Google Chrome. Oh, yeah. Google Chrome is dominating. There you go. Look at that. I mean, I don't know when this was created, but whatever. I don't think it's far from the from the um I see something similar. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I wonder if if you use Chrome on if if you use Chrome on iPhone, does it count counted as Chrome or Safari?

Because the engine I would that's true actually. I reckon it counts as Safari. Yeah. So for anybody who doesn't know, if you use any browser on your iPhone or your iPad, no matter what browser you are using, it's just Safari under the hood, which sucks. Um, with this Gemini, what I'm interested in, I I mean, it could be the case with others as well. Can I ask it with a prompt to do something in the console log in the developers tool? Let's have a little look. I don't think so. I don't think it has access to the developer. That would be kind of crazy cool in the future. It would be, but I um Yeah, it's just searching.

Yeah, it can tell you what to do, but it doesn't do it for you. But if if it could do that, you could build kind of like uh tools on the fly. M right let's say you want to do something you know data manipulation you can just ask it to do it for you for example with Instagram we talked about the comment system like I could ask it to to do that so kind of like not a this is still kind of passive for me this agent is kind of like works passively in a way it's not it reads it tells you something but it doesn't quite interact interact with the page. But imagine telling it to to do things for you like what?

For example, just scroll down the page and add this to the that that would be something very simple, but it could go into more complex things. Anything from um for example, the one that I mentioned in Instagram, like doing the commenting things, maybe clean it up, maybe do a summary of what people are interacting. Um, uh, it could could it like learn something from a YouTube video in the future? Learn something from a YouTube video and then do it for you in web flow or like in any tool that you use. You've lost me now. Too much into the future. Yeah. Oh, I see what you're saying. I see what you're saying. I mean, I think that's I'm I'm still stuck on the the the console thing, but I think technically you should be able to do that.

Um, but I've that was one of the first things I tried, which was take this information and put it in the CMS in web flow and it just could not figure it out, you know. But that's the No, no, no. That was just having Web Flow and one browser tab open and the information I wanted to transfer on another browser tab. said, "Take it from that, put it in there." And it couldn't figure it out. Uh, but they can't like interact yet. It can, but it just couldn't figure it out. Ah, okay. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. Um, anyway, let's move on. Should should we talk just because it just seems quite boring. Do you want to talk about should we talk about alignment to open?

Well, yeah. I I I understand that it sounds boring but this maybe I'm quite geeky about it and I have a philosopher friend we do talk about this like in our free time unpaid for no we we consider this we consider this fun so alignment what is alignment with AI alignment is making sure that what the AI wants is aligned with what we human find Good. I'm very simplifying it. Yeah. And it and it Yeah. And it kind of does what you tell it to, right? So, um, Open I think they've solved this problem. Um, actually, let me read this. Open. I think they finally solved the problem of AI doing what you want it to do.

And this is a co, this is a research paper they've done with Apollo, Apollo research here. And, you know, they've got some good stats. They really do. It's still not perfect. Uh, where am I looking now? Here. 03 down from 13% which is quite high down to 0.4 and open 04 mini 8.7 down to 0.3. So, it's actually really good. Reduction in what? In in like disob disob yeah dis that's a good way to put it. Um, convert actions across diverse tests. Can can you zoom in please a little bit more because it will be difficult to see. uh on and get rid of that cookie banner. That's something I want from my AI agents to do just immediately when I open a Some browsers do that.

You know, some browsers like just remove the cookie banner. Um what were you going to say? Um so alignment is from what I understand is not about making the model to obey you. It's more about aligning our interests. uh considering that they will eventually well we think they will become full-on conscious beings. We want to align. We don't want them to be like humans they don't we don't care about them. Let's just get rid of them. uh we want our interests to be aligned and not artificially not by making not by making them saying that oh your entire family's life is in danger you know with the what's it called like the system prompt no in a genuine way making them aligned with uh us is this that yeah I mean yeah it's it's it's so there was a comparison made here around the fact that Well, I mean, the way they've solved it is by um addressing how it came to the solution it came to, right?

Uh because it's got to and it's because they got a habit of faking alignment. It's like when you have a test, you've got to show your reasoning and if the reason you might have the answer correct, the answer might be right, but if your reasoning is wrong, then you don't get the grade. And so they've taken that approach and they actually look into the reasoning and figure out whether it's actually done the right thing. Now this is reinforced learning and stuff like that. The interesting thing is rare but serious failures remained and evaluation results may be confounded by increased situational awareness. Eg where models get better at recognizing when they're being evaluated. So it's like the Volkswagen thing.

is like when it knows it's being tested, it then ups its, you know, ability to almost fake alignment and make and and make sure it's that it's reasoning is doing the correct thing that, you know, it's reason. So that's quite funny because this is the thing you can't you can't you can't predict. They're so undeterministic and this is this is what people need to understand sometimes and and this this is like a very important note by the way I wanted to talk about this before like we started the the main topics maybe this is a good point to just touch on it most people use AI the wrong way they think they can ask any question specifically I'm talking about like getting result getting responses that must be you know very correct and objective people most people don't know that AI is not deterministic um with that so for example if I ask something with you know tech details about a tech product you might get a respond I might get a different respond for the same question because it's it's just how it works uh of course with like more data it gets more exact but it's just not deterministic.

A good way of um testing for that is that do you know like the multiplication with AI? So if you ask any AI to multiply two big numbers, they get it so that the beginning of the result is correct. The end is correct but the middle is not correct. And the way it works, it just has a sense for it has developed a sense for mathematics and it knows roughly it should be around this. So the ending is this. It's odd numbers and what not. So it's this number sounds correct but it's not correct and you might get a different result than me. And it's the same thing when you ask for something specific. Um you you you need to know that you need to know that that these AIs are just like giving you guidance and like general information but you cannot take everything like for 100% truth.

Yeah. And I think this is a bigger discussion around like how AI fits. It was something I wanted to bring up last week but we didn't really have the space for it is like how like we we're learning how to use AI right now. We're just throwing it at everything and just we're just trying to make we're trying to figure out where it fits in our world. And as I as I become more knowledgeable about AI and I use it more, it's being relegated more to a a an assistant like I mean that's just sounds stupid, but like a like a a complimentary um low-level leg up, a boost up. And yeah, I I need to I I'm I'm I'm relying on it less to just do everything and more it actually just doing things to enable me to empower me to do whatever it is that I need to do.

Um and I think we will the the the people vote with their wallets. I've said that in the past. And people when it comes from a content standpoint like people will just not watch stuff that's AI generated and and more people less and less people will do it. People will gravitate to authentically generated well not authentically like um you know I put my LinkedIn post my LinkedIn posts are essentially just a summarization of these chats like the ideas are ours the ideas are human the the the stuff we talk about has mistakes in it. I just get AI just like I would ask a you know an employee can just c can you just go through the episode and just write up some posts.

It's all I've done but I've just got an AI to do it. There's nothing artificial about it. You know it doesn't it doesn't bring up any points that I weren't raised. It just combines them all together based on what we say. Anyway, that all being said, I think we're all just in this um excited period at the moment where we're getting AI to do everything for us. But we'll we'll start to realize that it's not very good at doing most things. Yeah. Well, what you said, I'm going to talk about this with my friend later on tonight. Hopefully, I get to talk I I have to ask him what is like value? How we define value?

I know it's a very fundamental question because with what you said like what why do people don't watch AI generated content? We talked about this before and or read it. I believe we do fundamentally value effort and if something signals a low effort, we just don't like it. And if it's the same stuff we've heard time and time again, you know, because again, um, AI is derivative. And if you're if you're saying, "Write me a script about this topic and it's just not proposing anything new or interesting or novel, then we're just going to switch off. we're just not going to just like uh you know um you know I won't say who it is but someone who is um has started a new YouTube channel.

I was like okay he's getting loads of views and blah blah blah. I watched it. He's not presenting anything new. And it's like okay this I've watched two of your videos now. Nothing new. Just just presenting the same that everyone else is doing. And it's like okay people are people are attracted to to new ideas new concepts. Even if we speak our mind, we put our hearts on the line when we um when we do these episodes, we give something we give people something to get angry about. That was another thing I was thinking about. People love to get angry at something. At least we're creating emotion. We we might be wrong, but we're putting ourselves out there to be contended with and we're creating we're creating debate, you know, for for lack of a better word.

So, I don't really know where we're going with this, but I think that AI is certainly finding its place as for me as something that I can be a better person with AI if I use it as a a step up rather than a crutch, you know. Yeah. And this is a good point and I I do the same. I just like to give that even to people that I work with to my team. like yeah AI and we like you do the AI like use AI. Yeah and yeah so but essentially it comes down to the same thing AI is being a an assistant to us. Yeah, and it's good to see, you know, I don't want to just I don't want to be hypocrite and use AI.

See how far you can push it. My next video I I summarize it coming out next Thursday. I literally at the end I say this was my experiment to see how far I can push it because now I can rein it back, right? And now I can re in its limits to then balance that out. We're going to be our work is going to be so much better so much better if we if we don't just let AI do everything for us. I agree. GPT5 codeex. Yes. So, what's up with the new GPT5? What's up? Um, so the meaning of OpenAI's codeex drifts further in into ambiguity by giving us developers exactly what we wanted, which is GBT5 codeex.

Now GBT5 obviously bursted onto the scene and it was very exciting but it didn't quite for me personally I used it very quickly rejected it. it didn't quite hit the mark in terms of its coding capabilities, but now they've released the specific codeex one that's a faster, more reliable, better at real-time collaboration. Basically, a GBT that's specifically tuned for writing code. And it's available for every everyone who's paying for GBT, which is this the pricing on GBT is is a bit annoying because you got 20 $20, which is okay for casual developers, or you've got $200 for pro developers. Well, I'm sitting happy in the middle with $100 on CL Claude Code anyway, ran over.

Um, and it can dynamically adjust its thinking time from seconds to several hours, which is which is what we want. Sometimes I don't know whether I could trust an AI to work for several hours on my behalf, but whatever. It's all good. So, and I did have a little look. It's in It's available in cursor, too. So, you can just select it as your cursor. It adds to cursor kind of like a tab. It No, no, no. I'm talking about Sorry. No, no. What you're talking about is using it in the CLI. I'm talking about actually in the little dropdown where you can select the model. It's available as a model in okay I see I see in the chat in the chat window so that's what I mean using AI using the API pricing but yeah of course yeah if you used it in the terminal it will it's got its own thing I I can't actually confirm that are you are you are you confirming that I'm not sure no okay fine yeah because when you type claude into the terminal of uh cursor it will install its own app and then you can use claw natively and I thought that's what you meant but no this is in the this is in the drop.

So, yeah, that's what I Yeah, you're right. It is there. Yeah, I I tried that one. I tried I did try that one. Yeah, but I do want to use the codeex CLI. Um I wanted to cancel my Clawude code thing this last month and just trial codeex for a month and see how it's going because um I do like to keep on my toes about what's going on. I don't like to um I don't like to just stick with one tool as you probably know. That's kind of what I've made a name for myself with. Just reading this now. I need this. I need agents MD to be a norm. We'll get into a nice little update from GitHub later on which tackles this problem.

But agents.md if we click on this as a link. We're getting off piece now. This is actually just like a a format, a a convention, let's call it, that I think all of these bloody tools should use. Um, I'm just So, there we go. There's codeex. I'm just looking for claw code, which it doesn't use. I'm looking for Oh, Gemini does. Basic. Okay. So, basically Claude anthropic, can you please adopt the agents MD file? because otherwise you've got your clawed MD file, you've got agents.m MD file, um you've got the GeminiMD file, you've got all these MD files like flying around and and if people use people use different CLIs, different coding environments, it's just been nice to just use the one file.

Um I want to try and combat this by in my claw MD file saying look in the agents file and just having that as the only thing in my cloud MD file. Um, I might actually add that as a rule to say always check for agent ID files. But anyway, so yeah. Um, where were we? Sorry, you just went a bit off piece there. No, that that that that's interesting. I didn't know about this, but it's essentially a a file to define uh your project, but for an agent, define your project, define rules, define instructions. It's effectively a prompt uh that sits that that runs with every every request. you can and then it takes up context and all the rest of it.

So you don't just want to pump everything into it, but it's nice just to be able to say this is what the project's about. This is some considerations to to to have and all the rest of it. So yeah, um quite nice. I haven't used it extensively yet. I've just set it in cursor as my model. So I'm going to use it through the, you know, the API thing. But I would like to I would like to dig into codecs because people were enjoying GPT5. I personally didn't get along with it. And that just goes to show that people just they just get on differently with different um AIs, you know, um the way you like to word things, the way you like to phrase things just may or may not work with the model that you you're trying out, you know.

So again, indeterministic. Yeah, true. So yeah. Should we get on with the mind readading device? Oh yeah, that one that one is creepy, man. So, I mentioned this last week actually. I mentioned this um mind reading device because obviously you got Neuralink and I mentioned last week that there is a there is a tool that's been released. I thought it wasn't I thought it was external. Basically, it could read your your voice. Okay, let me just get the article up. Let me just get the Stanford. Here we go. So, now the voice is in your head. Now, hang on. The voices in my head. The voices. Now even the voices in your head are no escape for Stanford engineers.

They built an interface that can read your inner speech mental. So they've created a module. Um it it is an implant. So as I say, I thought it was uh was just something that could just read your your voice. It gets crazy. This gets crazy. Um it it works by capturing neural signals from the motor cortex um interpret interpreting both attempted and imagined speech using AI. So this is this is a the motor cortex is kind of something that f you know I said about the wristband kind of can be slightly ahead because you give those subtle clues before you do something in your muscle. It's the same thing in your motor cortex. So, it can you can basically just think and it will just it will read what you're saying.

The crazy part of this is that it it doesn't just constantly read your thoughts. Oh, and by the way, this is great for people with motor neuron um deficiencies and things like that, people who can't speak and whatever. So, it's a speechtoext thing. Uh speech, sorry, speechtoext thing. So you can just display some, you know, messages and stuff like that. So it doesn't just listen to your um thoughts all the time. It listens for a mind password. So something like chitty chitty bang bang. If you think the word chitty chitty bang bang, that's when the device activates and that's when you'll start to get the thing. So it's it's pretty cool. I think I saw some stats somewhere.

Uh 70% of people or something like this found like it's not it's not great for everyone. Uh but not well 98% accuracy in detecting correct password and rejecting imposters which is crazy. It's super cool. Crazy. Um and I think that that's the real groundbreaking thing this password aspect. But yeah it it's cool. The only thing I um the only Yeah, I'm just reading my notes here. Implant successfully decoded up to 74% of imagined sentences. The only thing I think of this is that you know if you know your password like if I could I convince you to say your password. Do you know how you say like don't think of a pink elephant and then it just forces you to think of a pink elephant?

Like what if I like what can I hijack this by like telling you not to think of your password? Like whatever your password is just don't think about it. And then it unlocks then I've unlocked all your thoughts. Exactly. Well, um, fun. So, password is a funny example because I don't know my master password. I I use a password manager like every they look I type it pretty much every not every day but like it's muscle memory. It's muscle memory. I can I can think about it but it's rather hard. It's much easier for me just to get on my keyboard and just use my fing. So my fingers know my password better than my kind of it feels that way.

So this device it sounds creepy and the examples that you said are like insane like thinking about something will reveal it to the the third party trying to read it. And yeah, it's kind of it's it's kind of like a nightmare, but at the same time, it's super advanced. Of course, it's going to help so many people. And in good cases, I'm, you know, optimistic in general. Hey, we can do telepathy. It's called telepathy, right? Yeah. We'll be able to just But it will be awkward. We'll be just looking at each other and just nodding and just the future. Finally, I don't have to move my mouth to open to to talk or to say something.

I can just look at you and be like, "Yeah, because effectively, if you've got something reading your thoughts to to know what to type, you you've got to send that through to a display, an interface or something, all you really need to do is intercept that with with a Bluetooth, send that over to another Bluetooth, and I suppose you need a way to actually inject it into someone's brain." Yeah. to so it's the read and write and this is the same thing with Neurolink um the one from uh Elon Musk with Neurolink you can do read and write because right yes that's that's how they do it oh my god I didn't know that yeah so the the writing is um when you see like you can install cameras for people who are blind uh and you know they can receive so it's not just reading what the brain thinks.

The brain can rece a a receiver. And it's the same with uh they actually have humans. They tested it on humans that can uh type on their phone on their like just their iPhone, their regular iPhone with Neurolink faster than any human can do with finger. Yeah. because I I think quicker than I can speak and I stumble over my words quite often. So it's like yeah crazy. Surely MVP would be just a little Bluetooth thing in your ear that it is text to speech. So I think and it just projects it into your kind of thing. Why do we need it to inject I mean by the way this will solve the learning problem.

If I can just like inject a frigin how to fly a plane into my head I would absolutely want. We we're talking about uh what's it called? Neo downloading how to Yeah. Exactly right. certain things in you can write if your brain becomes a as an ingest uh mechanism then well that's the thing can can it hold the information after receiving it because when I said writing it's not it's not permanently writing it. It's the neurons in your brain capturing whatever that is transmitted to them, reading it, but it's not, you know, internalizing it for lack of better words. So, I don't know how that will work. And a and a big part of learning is literally you doing it and the process of learning is how it remains.

So, it will be it will be interesting when they figure it out like how many people actually remember it. could be dead in the water because the very act of learning cannot be simulated. You know, it can't be bypassed. It needs to be ingested in multiple different mediums and stuff like that. But it goes down to what I was saying that about that video last week. We just don't know the societal impact of some of this stuff until it's really embedded itself. And it it it will manifest itself in weird and wonderful ways. It's crazy. Yeah. uh Arash is saying that it's reminding him of Inception and that is like very true and imagine like you you've seen Inception right the movie the whole idea of inception how can I say this without uh spoiling it it's I'm not trying to spoil it it's essentially creating an idea or like putting an idea in somebody else's head so that they think it's their idea that that's well you know you You're not spoiling it.

You were just you were just telling the That's the concept. Yeah. Yeah. The concept. And that that's like huge. Like it's not just talking. It's not just communicating words. It's communicating ideas. And imagine we will be able to do it faster than what we are doing right now. Uh I think this this might be even more important than the learning uh aspect of it. I don't know how important the learning will be like capturing the thoughts and retaining them but what is really interesting to me is like the speed of it. Do you do you think in words in ideas or like do do you have like visual thinking? Can you can you imagine something in your head in 3D render it?

Yeah, me too. Like when I talk to like uh our 3D guy on on our team, like uh when he says something, I'm like, "Oh yeah, I I I love this. I'm rendering this real time in my head." And now imagine being able to to communicate this with people can't do that at all. Many people can't do this. Imagine stuff. I wonder if it's a not disability, but you know what I mean. I wonder if that's actually I don't know how widespread is that inability to to recognize whether it's a a normal thing to imagine things but crazy wild yeah so arish yeah I mean like storing it in in in the brain because this is different like the storing we I I don't actually I don't know about this I should I I should do some research you should um yeah about like the storing part I'm sure there are people doing that type of work as We need to figure to to see who's doing what.

Something interesting on what you said about the the armband band and the the pulse that goes through and the kind of like the cues that you give before doing it that you can read it before. There is a very interesting episode of um Mindfield from Visas. You know Visas. Hey Visas Michael here. where down here it's one of I don't know that that's that's a bit too it's a bit too nerdy that was a bit too it's a bit too nerdy yes that's how I learned English with visas so there's an episode of Mindfield where he has one of these like receptors basically reading his brain and he has like two buttons or like one button to push and he has to push the button before it becomes red.

So the button is green and if he pushes it while it's green, he wins. That's okay. But the moment the button become uh turns red, if he pushes pushes it, he loses. He he must push the button when it's still green. So So when does the button go red? the button goes red when he thinks about pushes it pushing it. So it's very frustrating because he thinks of pushing it and sometimes he tries to not think about it to actively think about something else and push it anyway. But before pushing it, the brain gives the cue, the device reads it and the button turns red and he cannot win. He cannot pushes the button while it's green even if he tries to not think about it.

So yeah, that's crazy. How how how did they what what device was this to to read his brain? Ah I I believe it's just like something that they put on his head. It's one of the episodes of uh Minefield. I can send it later on. It's amazing. Like Minefield uh I'm watching re-watching some of the episodes. I I love it. Vis is amazing. Yeah. Yeah. Uh that reminded me as well like have you seen the videos of the orangutans how amazing their memory recall is. They can be shown basically there's this thing that a screen that will show just all over it will just be numbers one to 16 or something. One to 20. Yeah.

And it will flash. All of these numbers will appear. And if they they got to tap it in order 1 2 3 4 5 all the way up to 20. And if they get it right, they get a a nut or whatever. Bit of food. Yeah, I watched it last week. You've seen it? Yeah, the the the one from Visas. I don't know. I don't I'm just I'm just saying this is Visas has an episode on that as well on Minefield and he goes to against a monkey and he loses it to to the monkey. He has no Is this memory recall though? Is this memory? Is this the memory? Yes. Uh so there is this um this idea that we we gained uh we we gain this like long form memory where we can remember things and even like transfer it to the next generation, right?

We can tell a story, we can write a book and information can can live through generations. monkeys and chanzies, they they didn't evolve this because they stayed on the trees and we left the trees. We left the trees and we needed to deal with the new challenges. That's how we uh essentially ended up having this me long-term memory. Um and chimpanzees, they they they kept the short form. So, they have a very strong short form memory. Cognitive tradeoff hypothesis. Yes. Yes. Well, this was six years ago. This wasn't last week. This was six years. I watched I rewatched it last week. Okay, fine. Fine. Well, anyway. Yeah. Yeah. It's just amazing. Like, uh, literally a flash of a screen and it remembers all the order and gets it gets us nut.

Yeah. You got to get your nut. It's really difficult like for a human to get even numbers. Yeah. Yeah. Um, yeah. That was six years ago. And by the way, this is when I bought YouTube Premium. I bought YouTube Premium to watch these videos because these were a part of YouTube Premium YouTube original but they are now free for public. Uh and I kept the YouTube premium. I'm I'm still paying. There you go. One I think I did something similar. I think I I loved Marquez Brownley's like retro tech series. Yeah, they were also good. They were also good. Yeah. So I think I bought that and that was it then. And then I found out oh I've got YouTube music as well.

So yeah, I've been paying, you know, whatever. And and now people are uh talking in the chat about the Space Odyssey 2001. Oh, wow. You've seen that, right? I can't do that for you, David. Uhhuh. Is that good? Yeah. I'm sorry. I can't do that for you, David. That That's really good. That's really That's actually like goosebump level. Yeah, that movie is insane. Yeah, it's good. It's good. Long though. It's a long film. That's my only thing. Yeah, it it it has like one of the longest intros. I think it's like five or six minutes without even a word being Yeah. dancing around the the obelisk or whatever it's called. Yeah. Yeah. It's great. Great.

Um should we move on? Quick one next. It was a long one, but it was fun. It was fun mind reading. Yeah. So our old friend Pinerow uh is using their AI assistant uh which now works with existing chatbt and claude code subscriptions and you know this is a cool feature. I don't anticipate many Pinerow users are in the audience right now. It is if you don't know what Pinerow is, it is a dare I say open source. It's it's kind of like no code tool that you run on your local machine and it generates the files and you can do whatever you want with those files and it's intended to be like a WordPress theme builder but you can just build static websites with it stuff like that.

Very very powerful because it's completely limitless. Um it's surprising how abstracted web flow is compared to Pinerow because you can create any element. You can see on the lefth hand side here any element you can add whatever very very powerful they have an AI assistant and you can use it with claw code or codeex which is actually really nice. I take some credit for this because I was in the forum saying look I'm using claw code to uh edit my pine grow my pine grow projects but I need it to like detect that I'm using it. Um, but the reason why I raised this is one, it's really cool and I think that you can whilst it's a very ugly UI, that's the biggest I wanted to say that I want to say Pine.

It's so WordPress it hurts. Do you know what I mean? Like I think it's primarily used as a WordPress tool and I don't doubt that most of their clients are WordPress people. So they want to have that, you know, continuity between them. So it probably works in their favor just to make everything look WordPress. But yeah, I I think it could sly do the UI. Yeah, I they they need an old UI. Yeah, lift this this is not it. Pinero, if you are watching this, um, contact me. We we can design something. Yeah. Yeah. This this is not it. But the reason why I raise this is just just because like obviously Web Flow Conf was last week and they've got that AI assistant and like you know whether you like it or not you miss out on so much by being this closed source system.

You know Webflow have got to develop their own AI agent and it lacks the ability and and it's this interoperability between open source and and you know what makes things better is that I don't even need to be in Pinerow anymore. I I don't really need to care about the UI anymore because I'm just using the CLI. I'm just using the interface sort of thing. And it's such a shame that uh well, not a shame because obviously different things work for different people. But um when you are I guess it's just that closed source thing of like being locked in to something, you don't get access to claw code inside of web flow unfortunately. Yeah, this is something that I uh talked about last week by the way.

I asked you if framer being more of proprietary tool is in disadvantage uh when it comes to AI being able to build structures and you know pull in from other sources. So this is speaking to that and it answers my question now today again in a new way. So it seems like something with something like uh pine grow and something that can work with open source obviously can pull in anything and you know put it together with AI. This is for the future to see like how good the AI will get and yeah uh for today like pine grow when I see that UI I'm like get me out. I'm sorry. Um I care about my own experience.

I am a user and my user experience matters and Pinero uh it looks painful to look at the their UI. I'm obviously like I'm just a different breed like I watched a video just before this just before this stream. I'm just looking about this just to remind myself and long long story short is they it was it was an AI guy but he was like if you don't get your UI right then you will fail and I'm sorry my immediate response to that was I don't I doubt you're you're not very product minded like I go on as long as it works as long as it gets the job done you will s you know that's the most important thing goes back to the tool that I showed you this morning and you were like, "Well, you said it doesn't look as bad as you thought it would."

Um, but at the same time, it's functional as AF. Like, it's it's that is what the that's all the clients really care about. You know, they care that it works, that it gets the job done. The UI comes very secondary. And I guess I guess we just need to be who are we talking to here? who who which which audience are we talking to and and how where UI plays a role in that. But I'm definitely under the thing of like if it gets the job done, if it earns you money, we can procrastinate on something not being great, you know, UI or it's this and it's that, but um if you can build something and then the next day someone's giving you money for it, you would not complain about the UI.

But I don't know, different strokes, different folks at the end of the day. I agree. if if it can make money, the financial incentive is probably like the biggest incentive for sure. Um but yeah, um and to answer your question that you know that you asked last week as well, like um AI work better on information they're trained on. So in answer to your question about proprietary and this and that, I mean it might not have the nuances on how frame are put together because it's abstracted and they do this that and the other. It all comes down to HTML. It all comes down to raw HTML. You know, it doesn't matter if it's 10 divs created, you know, before then there's a link.

The point is that it's created through HTML, which AI is constantly trained on. So I don't think there's necessarily disadvantage from that perspective. I just think there is a diff disadvantage on the options available like what pine grow I was going to say porn grow then uh what pine grow um are offering is this intersection with claude code and and now codeex uh that that it now works and you just have that flexibility and and that interoperability is something I'm very much in favor of. don't like be I will I would recommend Web Flow for a very select group of people. Uh if you want it to be allin-one and easier and whatever, but from my perspective, once it gets to a certain size, you probably want to think about moving away from something like Web Flow just because it's it's just going to hold you back.

It's it's like a goldfish living in a goldfish bowl, you know? Um it depends on the scope and the needs obviously. Yeah. So anyway, I like to see that Pine Grow is still doing well. It has a special place in my heart and um you know, UI aside, it is is it's a pretty cool tool for building static and WordPress websites. So um now we have your the one you're looking forward to, notion. Yeah. uh you use notion since uh are you a new relatively new notion user? No, I I I was a very early adopter of notion but I've never paid for it and I've I've tried to use it more since we got the subscription.

um you know try and keep it as a core part but it it just it doesn't quite fit in you know I just haven't found my it's it hasn't found its place in my dayto-day I I try to even set it as my default calendar I try to even set it as something that opens whenever I turn on my computer so it automatically just opens up but it's just not one of those things and I bought a few like um operating system type of things I've got like a what do they even call it? Like a um an agency starter kit. Mhm. Client on boarding thing I bought off a mate and it's just not really fun as way.

Anyway, that's not the news. This is not exciting. We can get into that in a bit. I don't know you, but I opened up just like a few days ago and I noticed that they've got an agent. They've got an agent available inside of um I knew they had the AI which can answer questions and whatever, but an agent as you've rightly described in the past is an agent will let you do things. And I don't know, there's just something in me that says this is gamechanging. There's something about this just because just because um uh notion is so powerful. I know it's powerful. hasn't found its way in my workflow, but it's so flexible and it's got so many integrations.

And I have a question about integrations, whether this will work with integrations, but the point is is that an agent um it's just like the little thing um Oh, I'm not even sharing my screen. Sorry, I thought B. Yeah. Um an agent can do things. Anything you can do in notion, the agent can do. And this will be a multi-step. This can execute multi-step workflows. So you can to do this and then this and then that and input data and pull data and transfer data and things like this. I think this could be a productivity machine. And this is why I wanted to bring it to you because you use notion quite heavily and I think I don't know what's what's your kind of instant response to this.

Is this something you see yourself using? Um I'm trying to see if I can like actually access it because the AI. Yeah. So it's just in the normal AI. It's it's just built into the normal AI. So what I did is I was in a I was in a notion database and I said get all of the meetings that were titled this because I have a weekly meeting with someone. Get and then build a tag cloud full of all the things we've discussed. and it just went ahead and did that for all the meetings that I had, all the database entries. So, you should just be able to say it in the in the um in the AI panel.

Um you can do 20 20 minutes of autonomous work across hundreds of pages all at once, which is crazy. I think they even um say that somewhere in this article. Um but what's really interesting is that they will uh custom agents are coming soon, which is really cool. So you can have like I think they've got a little graphic down here. Um you know that can that can you just fire off autonomously. So every time you input a specific you know maybe maybe it's uh a meeting you did it. Yeah. What do for you? So I asked it to we have a list of like video we had a list of things to talk about and I said put them in the database and it just did.

So yeah, this is awesome. Like I can talk to databases. This this is what I want. The part of notion and in general like tools similar to notion that I always hated. I mean Jura um you have to work with like ugly and slow databases. It in notion it's not ugly but it's it's like you you go through like so many hoops to to do something. What if I tell it create these tasks based on this meeting? So we have a meeting. Notion already has a meeting note taker. It takes a note and it creates the list of the tasks. And then just with natural language I can I can manage those. So this is actually amazing.

I if this is paid on top of what I'm paying, I probably will have to pay because it's I think it's included in the AI. I mean, you just did it. So, why why would you need to pay? Maybe it costs extra to per something. Let me do the intro just because I think I messed that up getting too excited and this could be edited in. Yeah, let's do it. Now, anything you can do in Notion, Notion can do with their latest update which includes their new AI agent. Um, yeah. So, what's coming soon is like or um sub agent. So, if there's some is if there's a workflow that happens that every time you create one database entry, it copies it here, moves that, reframes it to this, you can just have that fire off every time a new database entry goes in.

So, that's another example. Another one which I thought would be quite cool is they got an MCP. So um the I don't know whether that's a well it says MCP integrations are here. So you might want to have a little look. Actually I do think the notion MCP is already there because I remember it coming up with the cursor like at store library thing that they released. So yeah, I mean it kind of was already there, but maybe so maybe you need to get yourself scrubbed up on MCPS a little bit more. But um yeah, either way, and here's the thing with notion, I sort of feel like again as an infrequent user, I sort of need to relearn how to use it every time I open it up.

Like how do I create two coals and you know, how do I add this and embed this and do this and do that? Now with natural language with an agent or the MCP server, I can just like tell it what I want, you know? So yeah, I thought this was a really cool update and again with this powerful integrations that it has, I just I feel like this is there's something here. There's something really powerful here if you can unlock it. You know what I mean? If you can unlock that aspect in your brain. Yeah. Well, the bad news is I run out of free AI tokens. So if I upgrade it cost $270, mate.

You but you've got lemies. So I wonder why wonder why I've got it free. Maybe I did it. I use because I used it. I used it but I run out of it. So just I got I wondered about this at some point. I wondered what the AI what the AI um is going on with my thing. And I think I I got an email saying like we've extended your AI usage until 2026 this. So actually it's uh yeah I think I I've done previously done research and I've got no I mean again I'm not using it that much so I haven't pushed my limits but yeah 200 bucks that's a lot. Yeah 270 bucks for AI that that's a lot.

Well you got the MCP server so give the MCP server a go and then see if you can do it from here because you know how to set up an MCP. Try and do the same thing. Try and say do this and then move it here and do this and whatever. Um but yeah, pretty pretty cool. But it's it's quite sad that it's run run out of um the AI tokens so fast like just like in the setting right now. But yeah, I'm I'm not going to pay for another AI on top of like the 50 AI that I'm really It's got to earn you money. As much as these tools are fun to play with, it's you've got to see a return on investment.

So yeah. Yeah, it kind of will make our life with these videos easier. So, will it? Maybe I should maybe you need to add me as an admin. Maybe maybe the $12 or whatever it is to add me as an admin or something like that might you know, you have full access to this page, but it might mean I don't know. I don't know how it will work, but like um me being We'll figure it out. I'll I'll play around with the or I create it comes over to my side and I own all of it. Anyway, this is this is boring stuff. So, episode one of the latest hot TV show just dropped. Okay, maybe that's uh not the next lost, but Greg Eisenberg has just released part one of a docu series titled Inside the 50 Trillion AI Gold Rush, and it's pretty good.

Have you seen this at all? Have you seen anything to do with this? No, but uh I'm interested. Why? Why don't I know about this already? I think it's going to be this it's going to be one of it's one of five episodes. Uh, and do you know Greg Eisenberg? No. Okay. So, I think I know him like not by name, but I think I know the the YouTube uh face. I like that. Yeah. Yeah. He's got a he's got a weird face, but uh but um and he's done this in partnership. So, this is the CEO of Bolt, you know, Bolt.new. I think it's actually something that's commissioned by them or whatever. There's Greg.

There's Greg. Yeah. Uh he makes loads of AI content or whatever. But this is a really interesting thing of how well I mean it's basically kind of how he it's kind of a background on him mostly how he got kind of big and basically he created this the Tik Tok before Tik Tok was Tik Tok and he got bought out or something like that. So it was most part one was mostly to do with him. Um, but it's going to it's a docu it's a documentary on AI and I'm really keen to watch it because like it's some it's one of those things where we're still in it. We're still in the midst of it and already there's been documentaries made on so they're pretty ahead of the curve when it comes to that.

And I think again it's it's in partnership with Bolt or Bolt has something to do with it. I don't know. Maybe it's like a There you go. There you go. Sponsors are making this documentary possible. Bolt and don't break. Yeah. Yeah. the vibe coding thing. Um, but yeah, looking forward to tuning into this. It got literally this morning, I think, uh, 24th of September. So, oh, okay. A couple of days ago. When is the next episode drop? I need to decide if I want to watch it right now and wait for the next one or just wait for all. Doesn't say. Doesn't say. Maybe go on his thing. Maybe he's already dropped it as you could say.

Okay. Yeah. So yeah. So he's even released a video uh since that is not part of the series. So two days ago. So maybe it's a weekly thing. Um yeah, maybe. Yeah, maybe. So it's pretty cool. Yeah. Something to tune into. Making history. We're in We're in history right now. We're inside of this will be spoken for millennia. And you know what they're going to do? They're going to be like command AI. That was they were there. They were they they nailed it. They were they were there before the rest of them, you know. Big deal. And everybody who was here watching, they'd be like, "We you guys are making history right now. You're part of history."

It'd be like, "We remember the the rebrand." By the way, like most people don't know because we did it so early on the video, but that's fine. That's fine. Uh, cool. Next. Any questions? No. Uh, we have we have a few smaller things I believe to go through. Uh, we are. Yeah, we're cruising through. Um, trying to think if we can skim through this. I mean, I really like the fact that Perplexity have launched their API. Now, this is something that we I worked on on an app to try and get perplexity because Plex people say it's dead, but like perplexity for me is one of the only um AI with like true IP. It's got really good like it's got this layer on top of search which is by far and away better.

Open AAI just leverage Google search. Um, and you know when you when you do when you used to use like sonar or you know when you used to use perplexity you you could enable it to do web search but it wasn't quite using their the same system. I don't know the ins and outs of it but literally today they've they've launched Pexi API uh PEXI search API so you can leverage all the goodness that comes from um Pexi in your apps. So, that's pretty cool. Quite expensive, though. It's like $5 for 5,000 requests. Uh, per thousand requests. Okay, that that's quite expensive. Yeah, bearing in mind we've got million tokens here. I mean, tokens get used up very quickly, but Yeah.

And and what I don't know is is a because you can obviously have multiple sources, right? Perplexi goes off and gets multiple sources. Is that classed as one request or is it per source? That's, you know, whatever. I'm not too sure about that. Um, so yeah, that's TBC, but pretty cool. I'm I'm excited to tell my friend about that because he's trying to use it in his app. So that's that one. Um, cop and similar actually we spoke about a few things today, but did you see this post? So you talk about nightmares and dreams and stuff. So now GPT works while you dream. Waking you up with a summary of topics, thoughts, and ideas based on your activity.

So you wake up and it's kind of just been working away pulls together a bunch of stuff that you might want to read about, might want to, you know, it's your daily news based on specific things you talk about. So this really leans into this ecosystem that you speak about. What what are they offering that's unique to them? Yeah. You know, so this this is like morning brew. No, morning brew for you. Morning brew for you GBT pulse. Um, and yeah, but I I think the only downside to this, I think, is it's kind of, you know, it's a it's a duality where on the one hand, Sam is saying don't use, you know, don't reveal too much.

Don't use it as a psychologist, this and that. But this kind of encourages you to be much more open because it works better the more open you are, the more things you talk about. So, uh, but it's an interesting addition. I think this this is a this is an exciting USP that that chat GPT are offering. And do you pay for chat GPT? Yes, I do. So you you should have this then you should I haven't turned it on. I haven't checked it. Um yeah, I I'm a bit disappointed like with what I can do with Chiept PT. I was fine with it I don't know six months ago, but today I'm not that happy.

It's a bit mid, isn't it? It is. And have you have you tried to It was also a trend to ask Chach GPT and any AI model to count from one to a million. Oh yes, a video, right? No, just like when you talk to Chad GPT. And there was a video I saw a tried as well. Yeah, I tried it many many times and I did all types of things to to make it even get No, it it just straight up doesn't do it. Yeah, there's a it's not a million. It's cheeses. So this guy says just just tell me all of the cheeses. And it's like okay well there's quite a lot but you know there's there's cheddar, there's gorgenola, there's feta and is the list is massive.

And he's like, "Yeah, yeah, tell me the list. Tell me the list. Just just just tell me all." Okay. Quite big. Just this big Yeah. loop. So, what is frustrating you can you So, if you ask Chat GPD to count from one to a million, it straight up refuses. If you if you already have a document or if you already like chat with chat GVD for like 20 minutes, you come up with a list of things, a CSV that like I don't know like 200 items in a list and then you have it inside of the canvas and you have like a long text inside of the canvas and then you decide to change from chat to to voice mode and then you ask it to okay so you have this text already in the canvas.

this it's already generated or whatever I'd write it doesn't matter we have this can you read it for me it just doesn't it straight up doesn't read its own what about writing code can you because you can tell it to write code can you say yes code every second counts in increments and blah blah blah you can make it to write code but when it comes to read to like the my pro frustration is with the conversational model that they have they have so much restrictions around how much of it you can use. You cannot you can write a document with CH GPT but you can't talk to the model and say okay you wrote this like let's say long email now read it for me it doesn't it gives you a summary it says oh so it's about this and this and it tells you the rest just wraps it up like no no no don't wrap it up tell me everything that is in the dock it straight up does not and refuses and I believe it's a hard limit they are putting on probably like the number like the output tokens that you can get per conversation.

Uh and it's frustrating to me because like the actual use case for me is when I'm in the car and I'm driving sometimes I feel like not listening to music or not listening to a podcast but I I do sometimes talk to Chpd to learn something. So let's say it's a concept in programming or something about history. You can say okay tell me about the history of World War One. How did it started? It tells you something and it wraps it up. Then you ask it to be linear and tell you like everything. It just starts to wrap things up. even though if you ask for details and it fit fills it with filler words, even if you ask specifically to not uh use filler words.

So, I don't like that. I I want it to be straight and when I don't need filler words, just just give me the straight facts. I want to talk about World War I and what happened in a like a span. I know it has access to Wikipedia. It does this this this this what is it like the the sound that it makes. So it goes on the web and then it comes up with a summary that is nowhere near in the depth that I need. That's my frustration. It's not deep. Yeah. You have got deep research mode though, right? Are you using that? Yeah. Yeah. So it does things if you ask it in a chat mode even though if you have you tried to make a CSV with like 500 entries it comes back with like 50 and it's like yeah here's 500.

So uh I do this for clients. We build um a list of FAQs or um what's it called? Glossery. So glossery or FAQs. So I have these like long docs from a client or like from uh interviews that I do with clients. I just talk to them like this and then record the conversation and give it to Chad GPT and we have now enough material. Then we do deep research whatever. And now I want to create a list of 500 words for that specific niche for that client. Just 500 words with short definitions. I asked stretch GPT to do it. Every single time I get I don't know maybe 50 even if and it's super inconsistent.

It's not like it gives you a cap of 50. It gives you 60 or 70 and then you say no I asked for 500 do 200. It comes up with now a new list of 60 instead of 70 that already had. It's like here's 200. I'm like you blind. This is not 200. And it just doesn't do this type of work. It doesn't. Sorry. I don't know what to say, mate. That's really touched a nerve with you, hasn't it? It I don't like it because I'm paying and I don't get uh you know, get your ROI. No, I radio. Save your money. Save your money. Buy uh notion AI instead. But ROI radio on. Who knows the reference?

Just tell me because I know you don't know the reference because you have not seen the show. Well, one day, maybe one day. I did see something to do with it today. Today, are they re-releasing it or something? Yeah, you should uh search for Silicon Valley show and ROI. You will know what I saw something just before this call. Anyway, GT Pulse. Um and it can even remind you about when it has like calendar access, email access, it can remind you about like doing things in the day as well. So if you again the more you talk to it, the more you whatever um it will it will uh it will do things. I do wonder who the audience is for this like who asked for this and what what what problem are they trying to solve with this?

But it does look pretty fun. The very maybe they're throwing things and to trying to see what sticks. H uh have you got a shoot now? What? Have you got Have you got to go? Have you got to go now? Yeah. Uh it would be best if I could if we could wrap it up in few minutes. Um yeah, I was I could continue but um yeah, if you need to go, we can also do that if Yeah. Um so yeah, that's GBT pulse. If you're let us know what you're going to use it for if you're paying for it and uh I personally don't. So again, it yeah, have a little look. It'll be tomorrow morning maybe or you have to enable it.

You certainly have to enable it in the settings. So So anyway, something I'm It's actually a bit nerdy this. So something I'm quite excited for is the new GitHub Copilot CLI. Now I don't use GitHub Copilot. Um, mainly because basically the name copilot has lost all meaning and the co-pilot like it's so I I just don't know what it is anymore. But um we do have copilot CLI which works with all your favorite AI subscriptions plus a fancy banner intro that's making waves. So this little maybe I should install it now whilst we're on the whilst we're on the call because it's quite cool. Um, oh, I should uh I should share my proper screen now, shouldn't I?

Um, what I like about it is that it it's kind of ambidextrous or it's ambiguous or whatever. How do I Okay, I've got to do this. Stop screen share. Boom. Share screen. Share window. We're all going to watch this together. um is that again it works with your claude code subscription. It works with your codec subscription. It's kind of you know one it's uh like a Swiss army knife is I guess uh let's do co-pilot. Is that how you do you see that? That was cool. Uh it's actually small. Do I need to make it bigger for you? Yeah. Okay. Um, oh, I think you have to go co-pilot co-pilot banner. Oh, see that? Yeah.

Nice, isn't it? I think now if I just do co-pilot, it doesn't do it. I need to literally pass. Yeah, I just need to pass that flag. So, yeah, if you want to see the cool intro, you got to pass banner flag. Hey, um, and there's a it's introducing a few things which is quite nice. Let me just share my proper screen again. How does that work, by the way, in a command line? How I don't know. I think it I think it works on frames like JavaScript. Um, and you just you just write you it just refreshes a certain amount of times and you're just writing pixels to the to the screen. I thought everything is a character there.

So, yeah. Well, exactly. This is just made up of characters. Um, well, not maybe not asky characters, but I think you can have just blocks that take different types of characters. Yeah. So, oh, there we go. They've even given you instructions on how to launch it with the banner. But, um, what I do like about this, what it seems like that is quite it's just I mean the clue is in the in the banner like the UI is really really well put together. They've they've got some talented UI designers on this thing on this um on the co-pilot team uh or GitHub, whatever you want to call it. Um, but what was it? What was I saying?

I don't know. I'm just I'm keen to kind of use it. I'm keen to because because it will work with Claude code. Um hopefully is more universal in terms of like it feature set and whatever and hopefully it can make some waves because anthropic has been the only like MCP servers. Um Claude MD files are probably one of the original sort of things, you know. Um pretty pretty psyched to use it. Yeah, I I'm pretty far from this for now, even though I want to, but um yeah, I wonder why. I mean, it's not I mean, I still have I still have um cursor open. Mhm. You know, um still use it for viewing my files and stuff like that.

Um but I I don't know. I don't know what it is. I don't know what it is. Maybe it's just snobbery, you know, using the CLI. But it's uh it's just a nicer interface just to I think I'm more focused. I'm less distracted, you know, if I use a CLI. I'm not looking at the code. I'm not like second guessing. I'm literally just thinking about my thoughts. I even used chord code in C-pilot today and I just didn't sorry claw code in cursor today. I just didn't like it. Didn't like it. I just preferred I just know I I don't know. I just preferred I switched back. Oh, I will be switching back to the to the terminal.

Um I think it's because I have no idea to be honest. It's just it's probably just snobbery. Um and then finally, which is really I haven't done an awful lot of research on this one, I'll be honest, but Apple have added MCP support in the latest version of iOS. So we haven't got this yet. beta one has been released 26.1 MCP access which is kind of crazy and I wonder if this is this a what can you do with it? Uh we'll just quickly read it mark strategic move towards enabling aentic AI capabilities across its device ecosystem. So you could probably control your iPhone through an MCP server. Okay or or Tahoe or whatever. Uh maybe it's a maybe it's like an interoperability between your Apple devices or something like this.

I don't know. But it's been it's been released uh yesterday or day before. Um I haven't seen any videos go up about it or or what people have been doing with it. But I I just think that oh well focus on Apple's intense framework which can allow Siri and the shortcuts app to interact with third party applications. So yeah, not too sure about that, but I'm all for it. That's what I want to ask. What what it will mean for Siri. I don't think it will. I don't know. I don't know how this would maybe it's um Yeah, I don't know because Siri is So why would you MCP server is there to take requests language?

So exactly. So that you don't need Siri that So it bypasses Siri. Yeah. Yeah. But it still needs a model. It still needs a model to interpret the the request, right? And then yeah, send it through. So, God knows God knows um uh talking about model controller here. Um yeah, it's not really, but I'm just interested because this is an very unlike Apple move. They're all about the wall garden and this is something that potentially could mean that you could interact with you know maybe it's through maybe is it if it's in Tahoe that it's like you can tell your computer to do things from claude you know oh um turn the brightness down it's a bit stupid or turn the volume down do this or do that sort of stuff so yeah I don't know it it could just it's just an interesting move from Apple and that's why I'm um that's why I thought I'd raise it Pretty cool.

Maybe they are also trying to see what what works. Uh I haven't used any MCP. Well, you should use the notion one. Yeah, that's what I'm saying. I I want actually to use the web flow one. Yeah. To do a bunch of like Why haven't I don't know why I haven't. But well, because honestly because I'm busy building other things. I'm I'm enjoying I've been enjoying building flowing like uh in the past two weeks we've made so many updates and I noticed there are so much work to do when it comes to building a product. Um and I'm like genuinely enjoying that. So I do work inside I like yesterday I built a um animation using the new Gap plugin that you know things things like this small one and then the other day I was working on the 3D and the other day on social a bunch of things like that.

Um saying that did you see Brad Huber. I've forgotten his name. Who's the guy who built Miyagi? Bradford. Is it Bradford Huber? Yeah, got it. Do you see his announcement on Miyagi or his his statement on Miyagi? Because we called it right. We um we said that with all these updates, Miyagi is like going to replace it. And so he's got made a statement here that they're basically decommissioning the kind of a or they're they're um focusing less on the AI assistant aspect of Mi Agi, but and they're going to be focusing more, I guess, on the more um Slater aspects of it or the the coding aspects of it. So I like this. I like this that the code editing and the hosting.

So hosting is the Slater aspect of it and the code editing because I hate the code editor in um uh can you show like the beginning of it please not going to lie this is how the last few um web flow compet so we shared an image of that. So Amply was obviously first. Yeah. So, I honestly like I don't think the the coding is the right call for them either. Maybe I should talk to him because I have him in the DMs. I I I don't have like any firsthand information, but I I'm 100% sure Web Flow will add some some sort of like proper coding. They they showed they they did show us the the coding that you can do to to build components and the component gen or something like this and the app gen and they did look like full-on like IDE but they were kind of like in a separate environment but that doesn't matter like what stops web flow from giving us literally the same thing uh and just host the code as as well because we have Webflow cloud.

So yeah, I I I feel bad like genuinely feel bad because I've been there. I tried to build quite a few things and I started I never got to the point to publish it but uh I saw like web flow essentially like you know doing this the same thing and this will happen with every platform that is growing. Uh this is still happening like Apple is still like killing apps to even this day. There was a time if you remember um you you could download a torch a flashlight app for your phone because your phone you're like Android and iOS they don't have a fl they didn't have a flashlight app uh natively. You could download an app for that.

They'll This is This is what this comment is basically saying. It's like when you're piggybacking off an existing product, they have all the data to see, oh, Miyagi is getting a lot of attention. Maybe we should do that. Oh, this flashlight app is getting millions of downloads. We'll just do it. Like, they have they can just eat up anything that succeeds, you know? Yes. Um, so yeah, unfortunately it's kind of like there's an analogy somewhere where you're you're kind of giving them there's something about giving them the gun that's going to shoot you because if your app does well, they'll just consume it. You have to be fast. You have to be fast. Yeah. You have to be really good because you need to be so good that they're like, you know what, let's just buy it.

You want to be acquired, right? There's so and and Miyagi was very well put together. you know, it was very clean, well launched, the branding was good. Um, you know, I bet Web Flow were well well on their way to um building. They already had the idea in mind while Miyagi was, you know, has to be that new and that good that you get acquired. That's that's all you can hope for when building on top of another um service. Um I don't web flow has acquired they they did acquire uh this other tool optimize what they called optimize it was called something else anyway that wasn't built on top of web flow though was it that was a complete separate exactly when companies acquire uh they they either acquire you know the IP or like the code or sometimes they acquire the team they do this by the way in case of Miyagi they did actually acquire, not exactly, but they did hire the developer who helped him build the app.

Yes. Yeah, I saw that. Yeah. Exat atom's um Exat. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Um yeah, I I don't know. That must have been quite hard for Bradford to uh I don't know what the relationship was like between Bradford and Vicram but um yeah I don't yeah I I I don't wish to be in either of their places honestly um this happens with these platforms all the time. Yeah, you can be either fast or you have to build something that is beyond just the value that provides in this like like I I'm thinking about the same thing with flowing right I'm building essentially a component library I'm thinking okay what is what is my winning condition or like the what is going to help me win if web flow if any web flower can or like with any other platform you can just type in something with AI.

So with us it would be will go higher in the level of complexity and something where uh AI is super duper duper lacking is like very nice specific bold design and this is the route that I'm going with. So I I don't know but that that's how I see it. I I wouldn't I started building a comment app by the way for web flow when um quite long time ago. It was like two years ago. I started actually like we had like actual code written like with I code for it. Uh but then then we stopped because we we uh like web flow mentioned it or something like this that they hinted at it. They hinted at it and I was like, "No, no, no.

That that we're not going to do this because Web Flow will do it and nobody will use our tool." And now Web Flow has a very proper commenting system. Um, it's not announced. It's announced, not published yet, but I'm looking forward to it that I and I know that I won't need any apps anymore even though we had like multiple apps in the Web Flow apps uh app store for commenting. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, like you say, um, you have to build something that is completely like I, you know, look at WISD as an example. That would be that seemed like something Web Flow could just snap up because it's so outside of what Web Flow do and so beneficial to people regardless of my own personal feelings about it.

Um the best you can ask for in that instance is it's so good that it it stays separate and web flow will never touch it or you get acquired, you know. Well, I don't know. I agree on everything you say, right? But but but do you remember Wiglot? Yes. Yes. The language thing. Yeah. I I feel bad for Wiglot, man. They they were sponsoring Web Flow. They were like so active in the space. They were the go tool for translation and I I believe even Web Flow was supporting them in like marketing way. I I don't exactly know how what was like behind the curtains, but it seemed like there was a partnership and Web Flow came up with their own uh translation um tool set that is less expensive, more convenient, it's better, it's just a killer feature.

Who needs Wiglot anymore, especially in the web flow space? So Big Lot had to pivot uh not pivot but like now they do it for other apps as well. They do integration for every other uh website platform as well. And Miyagi should probably do the same thing uh to be a tool for like designers and builders to build tools maybe for whatever they need. Yeah. Well, they're they're they're banking on what what Bradford is saying here is that they're banking on the coding aspect, you know, providing a interface. I don't know what that means, but potentially a better interface than Web Flow can provide. Um, yeah, but shame shame to see it. But we saw it coming.

We we called it, you know, we did see it coming. I guess we didn't just dig into that what that means might mean for for Miyagi. You know what I didn't see coming was the their lead developer being hired by Web. No, that I didn't see coming. But I don't think he's a developer. I think he's like developer advocate, which advocates, you know, they're not, you know, they're not they haven't got much. They're just someone who's out there speaking fondly of the development. Yeah. Is it like a community thing? Probably. Yeah. I don't think he's contributing towards Web Flow. So, who knows? Who knows? Maybe speak to him. Um yeah. Yeah, probably a community thing.

Probably similar to uh Keegan. He's he's actually making videos for them and yeah, but he's developer. I I maybe he contributes to the code that goes on the front end on the site. Maybe not engineering type of things. Uh that's how I see it. probably he he's on the community or like marketing arm of the com because I don't think I don't think Keegan actually has a like he's not a hardcore he's got he's good for like animations but I don't think he's a hardcore developer like Vicram is. I think Vicram's like I don't think so. Yeah. Yeah. I think uh he has like more general purpose knowledge. Yeah. He Yeah. Anyway, that's this week's a command AI.

Yeah, I've been Sam Gregory and here I have Here I have Here I have Here I don't have air. I don't have food. I'm I'm hungry. Here I am. Here I was, Kavarza. I'm no more. I'm hungry now. No. Um. Yeah. Well, thank you for everybody uh tuning in and watching we have 61 people uh in total and on my Instagram I I think like the Instagram views are not shown. We we we had a lot of people joining and tuning in and we had more than uh usual comments. So, thank you for everybody commenting. So, yeah. Um I was engaged like with the comments. So, very good. Very good. Cool. All right. Well, yeah.

Tune in next week. Um, look out for the new branding come. Well, before we go, yeah, sorry, before we go, let's let's just show it again. Uh, no, not this. Uh, the where how Yeah, this we we have this new branding. You probably seen the the the YouTube thumbnail. I hope you've seen it. But but yeah, more more to come. This is this is not a sneak peek.
