What's up friends
what's good how do you do man how d do d do good d d do good d do good d do good d do do good did you good did you good did you very good did you very good cool cool so i was
just double i called you because i was just double checking i was like uh okay yeah well the text is
what reminded me that i was hosting uh oh shit okay yeah uh that that was on me like i literally
was sitting here like staring at your, waiting for your circle to turn purple.
No worries, man.
That wasn't the case.
Yeah.
So how you doing, man?
You at mom's?
I'm doing okay.
I'm at mom's house.
We just finished dinner not too long ago.
She made some chilito with some pork chili and beans and spanish rice it was really good man oh that
sounds good i'm coming next time it's good stuff it's good stuff well hi mom hope you're doing well
she's actually inside i got you on the headphones right now she's watching her tv and doing her Marjong as she calls it. Marjong?
Marjong.
Can you play that by yourself?
Yeah, dude. It's all over your game.
All over your phone.
You play against other people.
Gotcha.
Yeah.
I mean, I've just seen it played before.
I've never actually played it.
It's just like match the tiles.
That's all it is, really.
I think there's some... Well, the way I play it, it's just match the tiles.
Well, I'm saying there's some strategery to it.
Yes, I think so, too.
Like some people are good at checkers oh yeah yeah yeah
so how you been man what you been up to bro um not too much uh just designing my life away
and uh got some good news back from tootsie today. That was cool. Ooh. Basically, I sent them
all of, like,
what will be our
first releases to get
approval on everything.
And they basically just said,
this is freaking dope. It's all approved.
Go for it. Like,
okie doke. That's cool.
Okay.
I'm sending out our uh our uh space here just places everybody's doing
the same thing like where's fab space why didn't he post about his space
no worries it's all posted now hopefully we get some folks in here. We have some good time tonight.
Just relax.
Did you get any time to do any of your own art?
Or is it still just all tootsie roll right now?
A little bit.
I've been doing some late night AI.
Just because that's what I've got energy for at 3 a.m.
It's like I want to be creative, but I'm burnt a little.
I get you.
So I've been doing these,
just kind of messing around with some AI stuff that I've been...
Yeah, I don't know.
There's like some images that have been in my head
for a really long time.
Yeah.
That I've just tried to
generate, or have generated.
Okay.
I'll post a couple of them
here.
Trying to decide
which version.
Yeah, I posted
Rattadoobie up top there
yeah that's dope
that one was a fun one
it's funny I read it and I'm like
is the T should it yeah
no the T should be there
like
yeah I had to spell it out like
three times for me to make sure I got it right
I was like
yeah
making sure
i think this is no one nope that's not it
oh so what have you been up to today other than art anything just or just designing the entire day
away yeah no i was i sat down on my computer at seven. I left around noon to get some cigarettes and came back to my computer 30 minutes later.
Oh, okay.
I've been here other than that.
Um, yeah, I don't know.
Try to get this dabber here real quick yeah go for it dude i didn't really intro a song i just
kind of played part of the song that was playing on my computer no worries man
did you do your answering machine message in in your car
uh probably yeah that makes sense it sounds like you're driving
while you're doing it i i did it well it's because my voice recording was like this is
chris from select signs and um i recorded that in the car like eight minutes after getting fired
because i didn't want it to say that anymore.
And I never changed it after that.
That explains it.
Yep.
I need to re-record it.
A lot of people have told me it pretty much sucks.
It doesn't suck.
It's just.
Anybody even like mentions your voicemail.
Other than saying that's entertaining
like you need to re-record it yeah you're probably right i used that this used to be
my outgoing my outgoing message give me one second i'll show you
hey you've reached fab i'm not here right now. I'm a busy I'll try to get back to you as quickly as possible
Yeah, it was it was a the beep no no I didn't say to beep it would have been funny if i did say the beep beep
dave's not here dude
i could i could do that
um i could like like when i re-record it's probably about time yeah have a little fun doing it
everyone's like my dad was like
you need to leave a professional voicemail
who the fuck's professional is going to be calling me
yeah like am I
trying to get hired by somebody right now
yeah
these days it's just hey
this is blah blah blah
leave your noise
yeah
I haven't been able to Yeah.
I haven't been able to... Okay, now I think I've decided...
That's why I'm looking at the wrong ones.
Pardon my clicking no worries so let's see here two
you would
I'm numbering these
the problem with my AI stuff is
I will download
several versions of everything
I didn't realize
like
when I'm upscaling things with AI, that it compresses it zero.
And so I'm downloading these images and like, I'm like, why is it dumbing down when I like
send it to myself in a text?
Yeah.
Because the file, one image that i'm downloading is like 200 megs
yeah just airdrop it to yourself can't you it's too big oh is it too big to airdrop
yeah 70 megs is the cutoff i did not realize well before it dumbs it down
Well, before it dumbs it down.
Yeah, like it'll arrive.
It just makes it kind of funny looking.
I get you.
I get you.
Let's see what you're doing in here.
Space nuts.
That's what I'm calling this.
Space nuts.
Space is nuts. Space is nuts. That's what I'm calling this. Or no. Space nuts. Or no, space is nuts.
Space is nuts.
Thank you, Mr.
Wait for a moment.
Space is nuts.
Yeah.
I'm waiting for these giant images to arrive on my cellular device from my computron
computron 2000 yep the latest in computing man it reminds me of the my parents bought like
at the time a stupid expensive computer.
I think they convinced themselves that it was an investment
in me and my brother's education.
But the Sony VAIO computer that they bought
did have, like, a voice, much like what you just did,
that, like, introduced itself to you oh
like hello i am the sony bio 3600 like and the guy at the store said that um it'll never run
out of memory as long as like for forever like it'll never run out of memory. Yeah. It's future-proofed.
I'm like, good job, salesman.
You convinced my parents that, like, of non-truth.
Like, ugh.
Lie. Lie.
It had a gigabyte.
What?
A whole gigabyte.
A whole gig.
And now, what, do they put they put like terabytes in computers now?
Yeah, I've got four terabytes in mine. Jesus.
That's 4,000 gigabytes. Yeah.
You've used all that too, right? Oh yeah.
I'm dumping stuff onto externals all the time now.
I'm saving with the work I'm doing right now, I'm saving about 30 gigs
a week.
okay.
Of files.
And,
and that doesn't include like this nonsense that I'm downloading from AI sites that are stupid big.
Yeah.
Would you want to say hi?
Hi mom.
I mean,
let me take the headphones out. on a second buddy there you go say hi hey mom hola chico i heard dinner was good um i'm kind of upset i didn't
get an invite well i'm I'm sorry. Next time
Fab comes over, I'll make
sure that you know so you can come and eat
too. Okay, perfect.
Sounds great.
Oh, he
drilled it in. He says,
what's my name, Mom?
And I said, Fab. And he says,
okay, you can talk then.
All right.
Oh, I gave up on that a long time ago.
How are you doing?
I'm doing fantastic.
Just goofing off with your son.
Yeah, having a good time.
Well, good, good, good, good.
Well, I hope you all have a good space this evening.
Thank you so much.
And then she's going to be joining Kicking with Shorty tonight.
She got her own Twitter now.
Yeah, he set me up.
Uh-oh.
Oh, sorry.
I was somebody trying to call.
There you go.
I swear, it's whenever we're in spaces, someone wants to call.
Uh-oh.
Someone's still trying to call.
Yep.
Well, and this one was like a Discord call.
Oh, shit.
I mean, I can put my headphones back on.
Just a sec.
Okay. okay i'm back he's back ladies and gentlemen i'm back i got these new headphones dude they're freaking badass they're tozo t10s now at night they tend to they they kind of break up a little
bit but that tends to be my phone over everybody else's.
But I love them.
The sound quality is great.
They were like 20 bucks.
You sound great.
Like super clear.
Yeah.
They were, they were on sale on Amazon.
They're an Amazon brand, or at least that's the first time I've seen them.
Okay.
But they were knocked down from like 70 bucks down to like 20 bucks i
picked them up nice yeah the first of my um apparel-ish things have started showing up oh
um don't make well it's my my buttons that i ordered and a found it for last second on their site. They had a rain jacket that you can get embroidered.
That's dope.
And I had my 55% off, so I paid $4 for a freaking rain jacket
with my name on it, with my logo on it.
Hells, yeah?
Yeah, dude.
That's dope as shit, dude.
Space.
I can't.
How do people type on phones?
Like fast?
I'm faster on my phone than I am
on a keyboard.
Definitely not.
I can't accomplish things on my phone
i mainly use my phone
or the ipad so i'm used to that ipad i can do only because i have
like the keyboard attachment. Ah, okay.
Yep.
Yep.
So I threw up top what are three generations of something that I'm trying to work on.
I'm not sure where the concept's going to go,
but it has something to do with, like,
squirrels traveling in space.
Like, kind of in a humorous sort of way, I guess.
So space nuts, yeah.
Yeah, well, space is nuts.
And you're still going with that
huge retro vibe on the
clothing I see yep
okay yeah
if the clothing's gonna
live in the 70s
um if there's
a dude in the images there
will also be a female most likely
um and
there'll be something that's a little odd okay but like
i it's so different than what it like how i created an ai a year ago like a year ago it was
generate this image the fingers are going to be messed up her face isn't going to be
perfect i'm going to have to find a different squirrel to put in and i assemble all this in
photoshop and in paint with ai and do all sorts of stuff for hours and hours and hours to create
one of these images yeah and these are just generate it up upscale it, save it. Oh, okay.
Like, there's no cleanup in these.
That's why I say this is like a concept.
This is the start of it.
I get you.
I think it'll kind of be a series with, like, squirrels in the spaceship kind of doing spaceship-y things.
Yeah. I just, when I was putting on their like
tech, or like
space clothes
on squirrels, like it kept
like turning them into
like a robot.
Okay. When I was generating
the image at the same time. I don't
know. If you turn up
the AI really high
on the upscalers no joke like the the image of like the
girl sitting on stairs it will have 500 images in that image of a girl sitting on stairs
jesus like but like kind of like hidden Like in her hand is a lady
Laying on her back that's like
Sort of on some stairs
It like crazy
Overthinks it
It's nuts
Well like the first one
The first one looks good
It looks natural
It's the second and third one
That I can tell her AI
I would say It's the second and third one that I can tell her AI.
I would say... Other than the squirrel's face on the first one, yeah, that one looks the most realistic.
Well, I think it's because of the more natural lighting, like actual lighting.
Possibly, yeah.
Well, hard lighting, like there's actually shadows that are black.
Yes.
Where the rest of it is, it's lit better,
which is kind of why I went after it.
But what you said makes sense.
I don't like the first one because of the size of the space helmet.
See, I like that one because in my opinion on this one,
the space helmet is the container in which you're selling space nuts the nutritious nut from mars they're not they're not
for sale though but in my mind they are in in this picture see like in my mind this is the beginning
of the story of like how a squirrel gets smuggled onto the spaceship and like how his food gets smuggled onto the space oh see i see this as an ad well i i kind of wanted it
to have that feel okay like i always kind of want that feel i guess like in Like in my visual stuff with people,
I always want it to feel like an ad
or a pose
something that's...
50, 67, retro-esque
styling.
Well, yeah, definitely.
A thousand percent.
But just as far as they are, like...
Breaking the fourth wall,
but posing for it.
I know what you're trying to say.
Yeah, like,
the expression on the first one
is almost what I asked for,
but it looks better than what I asked for
because I got what I asked for,
and it's kind of sad.
Trying to find the prompt I used.
There we go. A somber, frail woman with hope in her eyes, sitting on a set of stairs to a spaceship, fashion shoot, retro, 70s, skirt, space suit, holding space helmet,
helmet full of peanuts, smirk, 60s era, vibrant and weird futuristic clothing,
night, squirrel sitting on her shoulder, stark uplighting, model, waitress, pose,
and then it cuts it off. I don't know what i put after that that's the like upscaler and that's the thing that's cool about the upscaling if you use flux
in krea it upscales with your prompt so it's not just like make this image better.
It's like make the image of this
specific description better.
Yeah.
And you get better results.
Okay.
And upscaling is expensive as far as
computing power. I don't doubt it.
Yeah.
Well, a lot of these
images I'm generating are like 16k. Yeah. Well, a lot of these images I'm generating are like 16K.
Yeah.
Oh, Jesus.
Yeah.
Like you can, any of those you can zoom crazy in on.
Like it's, I don't know.
Kind of cool.
I just noticed that her, the first girl's thumbs kind of jacked too.
Let me see here.
But I wouldn't call them...
Yeah, just a little bit.
These are...
Experiments.
That's a good term.
And then I've got this other one that I've been working on, too.
It's... I can't decide if she's
growing out of the ground but it's like a woman like wearing a dress that is roots
and kind of mossy growing out of the ground or near the ground but there's also like a retro like tube television in it. Okay.
And there's, but she's kind of in a field of tube televisions,
almost like grave markers.
I've had that image in my head for like a year for some reason
and started messing with that one.
Okay.
Well, that's good that you're finally getting
an image out of your head then right yeah okay i i'll share give me just a minute like no problem
i have i have an example of the like over ai yeah like it tried too hard oh okay it's like it's kind of mind-blowing what it what it does
i don't know
i have like i've been kind of out of the loop um as as AI is concerned. Yo, what's up, Tricky?
Gotta get Casey in here.
Maybe he can deal you in on the latest and greatest from AI.
He usually does,
and then I forget about it
until I need it,
and then I have to call him
and ask for it.
That's generally kind of how it goes.
Yeah. Yeah.
Okay.
I just loaded this dabber with a glitter bomb.
Like an actual glitter bomb?
Because that's not a good idea.
It's Indica.
Indica no indica hybrid is what they're calling it, but it's pretty good stuff. Okay
Indica Hybrid is what they're calling it, but it's pretty good stuff.
Okay.
Yeah, nothing's actually an end to cover so Tiva anymore. Yeah, yeah
Everything's a meaning one way or the other or true
Let's see tricky Tricky's requesting
Let's bring Tricky on up
Chum Wizards is requesting
Let's bring Chum on up as well
Nice
Yeah
How you doing Tricky Buddha?
It's Tricky Buddha
From Defy Space Donkeys
Powered by Weed on Soul
Go get back weed oh my god ah
it's been a crazy week I'm last Friday I am I'm a little burnt my fucking skin is
all flared up and shit yeah of course the weekends don't mean much when you're
web3 but yes what say like cool you you take your weekends off yeah not really i not not
usually sometimes they go down see family um so i usually i do work less okay no but less is still
like you know throw uh three throw four devices into different spaces and you know re put and
retweet pin posts it's like that's that's, that's like the baseline.
You're going to use your Tesla robot when you get one to just hold phones and be in spaces.
That would be hilarious.
I'd have like direct.
Don't,
don't let it do anything else.
Don't let like all the things that can do.
What I'll do is I would just name all the AIs for each phone and different things.
Like one would be like a Siri
It won't be like so well, they just give them all names and then I could say like
Their names or I could have all have the exact same name
But only access to one phone and then I could tell them all to do the same thing and then
Yeah, we worked this out
I think the bot would be like the most expensive version of that, right?
Like you probably could just plug all that into a computer and write some code.
Oh, correct.
No, no, I'm saying it is incredibly wasteful of the computational and physical ability of the thing.
Yeah, 100%.
Yeah.
Goof, this thing is horrifying.
What was that?
Isn't it?
Sorry, go ahead, Ricky. No, what did you say? I said, Goof, this thing is horrifying. What was that? Isn't it? Oh, sorry. Go ahead.
What did you say?
I said, goop.
This thing is horrifying.
Zoom in.
I know I did.
Dude.
Like the faces on the peanuts really get me.
Yeah.
In the squirrel.
Like what is happening there? Yeah. Yeah. Sorry if i didn't mean to cut you off tricky go
ahead um i was just flabbergasted by this picture yeah that's all good i was just gonna say i'm uh
i'm pumped about nft nyc oh me too everything's like lining it up pretty good it's it i hope i
hope everything actually works out the way it looks like it's going to work out.
This is amazing.
Do you have a place to sleep?
Yeah, like four places.
Okay, cool.
Yeah.
Well, then you're good.
Yeah, I mean,
we'll end up probably getting like a big Airbnb
and like six of us
staying there.
You should get on that.
Yeah.
Yeah, if you haven't gotten on that yet, Tricky, I think you might be screwed.
No, well, I think Zal is the one that's getting it because he's the one that's going to have access to the money first.
The monies.
The monies.
Yeah.
Let's say hey to Nicholas.
What is up, chum, wizards?
What's going on, guys?
Sorry.
I had to pull out of a post.
Oh, sorry, dude.
I got you.
No, no, you're good.
You're good.
You're good.
I can always go back to it.
It's a quick save to draft.
I hear you.
Not even a problem.
How you doing, man?
But, yeah, what's going on?
You know, it's my day off.
I'm here chilling at the house at the moment, you know, doing the Twitter thing.
But I saw you had your space.
I figured, hey, let me come up and chat with you guys.
I do at some point want to talk to you about the Outliers Alley Collection,
seeing as you're the only
active, only collector that's still active. But yeah, for the time being, I just wanted to say
hi. Rock and roll. Yeah, no, just airdrop me the rest of the collection and I think we can call it
good. No, dude, I support you no matter what and and don't do anything out of obligation
um but i love your art and yeah i like i said i'm just i support you man well so so my thought is i
want to move the entire collection over to manifold okay um i just i like building i like
building there and and minting my stuff
out there more than you know doing the open c contract like it's lazy and i feel like i have
more control with manifold i'm sure you've heard me say that before um so what my thought was is
that i would just airdrop you the new token from the new collection uh and you could just hold on to the other one as
as a relic of of where i started yeah no totally was that first one on
the open c contracts before they got rid of that
yes it was nice so like i can still i can still go back and and list and delist it, but as far as adding new ones to it, I can't.
And I don't really want to do the new OpenSea contract just because of that same problem.
Right. Well, more than that, the old one is kind of grandfathered.
Like, it shouldn't disappear.
Like, they should host it on IPFS, which is why they stopped stopped doing that because they didn't want to pay for
the hosting nobody thinks about yeah so i'm sorry say that like nobody thought about that in the
beginning like yeah and and uh more more than anything lately i i've been thinking about you
know how much control i actually have over my stuff. And just looking at Manifold and the way that they're doing things, I prefer that to just about anything else right now.
It's been my favorite, just the control that I have.
Nice. Yeah. Cool. Yeah. And I'm, like I said, I'll support you however, man. Cool. I'm excited.
said i'll support you however man cool i'm excited
sweet yeah because i i don't know if you've seen but i've also been doing physical ones as well
yes the digital is fun but i i enjoy having my hands on the doing the physical work oh and i
love a time lapse i'm gonna go with that i going to go with that. I love, like, a live drawing session.
Like, I will watch the whole thing every time.
Process videos.
I could binge watch process videos.
It could be fucking anything.
If we go to the time lapse, I'll watch you make cheese, clean the carpet.
I don't fucking care.
Yeah.
Cutting string in half, whatever it is.
string and half, whatever it is.
Yeah, I've actually been putting together a playlist on my YouTube channel
with just like lo-fi beats of just all the different artworks that I do
for people to just, you know, have on in the background
and do whatever it is that they're doing.
Nice. Yeah, that's kind of what I did.
To be honest,
I didn't sound on.
I had my own music on.
We should play a
hide-and-seek game with that AI
image up there.
Like the
first person to spot
such and such a thing.
Yeah.
That would be fun kc keeps jumping in and out man what is that a helmet of dicks what the is that um those were peanuts before ai took over
and turned it into the entire prompt like it did with the whole rest of the image
like it did with the whole rest of the image.
Yeah, that's clearly a language barrier.
No, I just turned, I literally,
like you can just turn up the AI strength to 100.
Oh, it doesn't just go crazy?
That's awesome.
It's like literally like,
oh, I need to use more like computational power.
The image already looks perfect.
I'm going to keep going.
That's great
and it's like where you obviously want color this prompt so it just makes everything that
it's weird yeah that's funny all right there's a really cute tiny squirrel somewhere. I want somebody, the first person to find it gets,
shoot, I'll meet this. On her shoulder. I'll, I'll meet this monstrosity. You're not talking
about the one on her shoulder? You're talking about smaller than it? No, it's another one.
Oh, oh, in the helmet? Nope. I mean colder. Okay. Well, I guess I'm just, I'm hallucinating then. That's a way to hit me.
Alright, I don't know, let's see.
Oh my gosh.
Oh, these little people everywhere.
Right?
Oh my god, there's little people everywhere.
It's so weird.
Oh, it's coming out of her fucking chest.
That looks like a mole.
Wait, you found it.
Is that a squirrel? It looks like a mole. Wait. You found it. Is that a squirrel?
It looks like a mole.
Let me zoom in more.
No, it's a squirrel.
Why is he standing like that?
That's so weird.
Yeah.
All right, good job.
You have a person, Booker.
I'll mint this monstrosity
and give it to you.
Oh, my God.
That's all body parts.
Oh, that's crazy.
So much. I do. i like the fucking the zoom effect
man it's like you think it looks like texture and then you get closer and you're like oh no wait a
minute like i've thought about like yeah nothing is exactly how it like how do i turn this into
an even weirder art like combining it with multiples or i don't think you could make it weirder oh it could
totally be weirder like i mean it's like that's just right you just have to tell the ai to do
still like fuck with her a lot she still looks kind of normal but like everything else about
the situation is just weird i like it i think it would be cool if you took like, so you have like the base image that you,
you wanted to use before it got all weird and funky.
If you took each,
like each primary part,
like her and then her clothes and then the helmet and,
and did each of those with a different part of the image.
like helmets on the helmet.
It's the same color,
but the wrong,
like the wrong image
making up that object i think that'd be really cool feed that exact same image in and then try
the other the original image too but say but uh the the structures and features in the picture
are entirely constructed of small robots
that would be a cool one too i feel like that has to be up your alley oh i'm already typing that one
yeah ai strength 100 resemblance very little clarity turn it up sharpness aren't you kind of
like clarity if somebody can tell me the difference between those two things, I'd be appreciative.
I don't even know what sharpness or clarity does, man.
You know, honestly, when I'm messing with the sliders, I might bump them up and see how it looks.
But typically, I don't even mess with them either. I'm with Fab there.
Is clarity just like a little bit more vibrance than the color?
Well, but then why little bit more vibrance than the color? Well,
but then why do you need vibrance?
Like they're brighter.
Like the colors are more saturated.
Is there a saturation?
Well,
then that's what that's that's saturation.
Well,
because clarity.
All right.
I'm just,
I'm just going to ask.
Actually,
that's a good idea.
Yeah, AI is super helpful.
Hey, Goof, I got a question.
I got an answer for you.
Okay, is there a way to use a gradient in going up to bottom to top in Photoshop?
What do you mean?
Like my dad, he wants to add a gradient on the clouds
from the bottom to the top but he's having to manually do it yeah you got manually spin around
180 there's no like quick no no no no he's having to add a color gradient to the clouds
yeah is there a way to manually without is there a way to do that without having to use a pen or brush?
There isn't a gradient button, really?
Because there's one in Excel.
Dude, hold on. Goof.
I'm trying to think of how to do it
that way.
Is there a way
to do it in there that's not having to manually
do it? I mean, almost the way that Illustrator
has? Yeah, you're just drawing from one color to another oh my well he didn't think it was
possible and i was telling him well let me ask goof if it's possible it's well it's not how i
normally do things but i've done it that way before i'm just trying to remember how i did it
i've got photoshop open too so just give me a minute for me to charge my mouse
No worries
Sorry about that Tricky
It's just he's been my dad's been bugging me about this
For a couple of weeks now
And I keep forgetting the fucking app
Yeah I'll have an answer for you
No worries
Yeah there has to be
Well I mean Adobe they leave stuff out
On certain
That they add in on others.
And like Illustrator has things that you need in Photoshop.
But I think it's so that you end up using the entire suite.
So things you can't do here, you have to use over there.
It's a way of them to get you to buy everything.
Yes.
I always have both open.
How I complete the task that your dad's doing is I make the gradient in Illustrator.
Copy it and paste it.
And I literally copy it and paste it into Photoshop.
Okay, okay, okay.
No worries then.
I just think that's how I do it.
I just know there's another way that I will figure out for you.
Yeah, there has to be a way.
If not, you can do it in Excel.
I just made a sheet the other day,
and I put a gradient on for some reason.
I was just like, I wonder how the blue looks.
It looks pretty cool, so I left it.
It was like for the airdrop club.
See, yeah, but see, what we're trying to do
is not just a blue gradient.
It's a blue to another color green.
Yeah, yeah.
Couldn't you do that in Excel?
You can pick the start and the finish color.
You can't pick the number of pixels or anything.
No, it's not that enough.
Yeah.
Okay.
Yeah, yeah.
It's a simple like 50-50, you know, in the middle of gradient.
It's not like it's what you want.
But I was like, there's a button in Excel. So if there's a button in Excel,
maybe do you have an AI
on that computer that you could ask the AI?
It's my dad's.
He's in Colorado.
Never mind.
Man, it is still generating this image.
The AI is working really hard.
It's like, you told me to go full AI.
You told me to go full AI and I'm me to go full AI, and I'm fucking
doing it, Joe.
The computer just agreed with me. It's like, nope,
it doesn't get any crazier than that. This is what
you want. Exactly.
No, but that can't be.
I already gave you my answer.
It's gone fucking...
What was it? It's gone plaid.
Oh, God, what was that from?
Spaceballs?
Spaceballs.
It's gone plaid.
It's gone ludicrous speed.
Oh, yeah.
It's when they're going
real fast.
Yes.
The power of the Schwartz.
I see your Schwartz is as big as mine.
We get Dylan up here?
Oh, Stardogs is up here. How you doing?
What up, Goof? What up, everybody?
How you doing, man?
What's going on?
Oh, not too much.
Just goofing around with AI and talking with friends.
What's up with you I like it
trying to get this update done so we can get these beautiful metaride vehicles that you created
available to everybody to drive around in the metaverse heck yes um I well I've seen screenshots from Hermie occasionally. Yeah.
Where are we at on that?
Right now, we're fixing a couple of things with the game that people will be able to use.
It's kind of a stunt track, racetrack that they can take them on aside from just driving around in the metaverse.
So we're getting some last things fixed
with that.
And...
Still there?
Sound like you
rugged hard.
Yeah, right in the middle.
Rug city, population start. I rugged out three times yesterday, mid- the middle. Rugged city population start.
I rugged out three times yesterday in this sentence.
That's so annoying.
It was like every space.
Normally, most worlds, it's either nighttime or daytime all the time.
But having it ensure that the lighting within the buildings adjusts properly
buildings adjust properly
throughout the entire day is difficult.
day is difficult.
Oh, that's a lot of extra math, probably.
Can you hear me, Dylan?
Or can I hear you?
It says connecting. I don't know why
it's not letting them connect.
It says the same thing to Nicholas, too.
Like, everybody's getting bumped.
Nicholas, you should fight crime.
Let Respecter up.
That's crazy.
How you doing, Respecter?
Given a platform this quickly.
Let me get on my Wi-Fi real quick.
Can you guys even hear me?
Yep.
He's like, yep, cool.
Yeah, this ain't the Wiccan Blake space.
I was hoping you couldn't.
He'd get you up here real quick.
Here we go.
He's back back yes
awesome so we're talking about
daylight and buildings showing
correctly yep correct
but you know we've still
been able to you know
drive around in the new cars
they look great I mean the posts that we have We've still been able to drive around in the new cars.
They look great.
I mean, the post that we have up right now, I think, is one of my favorite pictures.
That, you know, the Income Island car, the Alpha, and the way that the lighting hits it and the shadows and everything, it just looks amazing.
Heck yes. I'm going gonna throw this up top here
Yeah, check out that income island car
That is a yeah, it looks cool
Because as a little kid I was like, hey, you know, make the things for the video games. And this is like some of the first reality of that happening
is seeing some of the things I've built in your universe and excited.
No, it is. It's really exciting.
And then, like I said, the game where people will be able to use these,
aside from just driving around on the streets and you know around everywhere it
it just makes it that much more cool that much more fun oh i'm all excited about that like the
the couple photos that you guys have shared of that like i'm yeah i'm excited for it so where
where do you find that like where does that start? It actually starts, we set it up to start from inside the MetaRide building.
Nice.
Yeah, so it just makes the most sense because it's tied to the car,
so might as well have it start there within the MetaRide's dealership.
So you go in and it says, hold on, I'll DM you a photo.
Give me a second, let me see.
Yeah, take your time.
No, this is super exciting.
These are a couple.
I'm not going to complain about that at all.
That's awesome.
I'll send you a few of these new images.
cool
Cool.
yeah what what you guys have been building is it's pretty incredible for a lot of reasons but
i've been you know watching relatively close for about a year now and it's
it's a lot i don't know it is it's a lot as As a somewhat of a 3D developer,
it's overwhelming to think about all the things.
Hold on.
I just dropped you four images in your DMs.
Oh, nice.
So Hermie hasn't even seen these images.
Did Hermie design the Volt car?
What?
Did Hermie design the Volt car?
I don't know.
I mean, I guess so because it's either me or him.
I just never saw that design even.
Yeah, I just...
New stuff. That's cool.
Yeah.
And then there's the unstoppable one as well.
And behind the unstoppable one, you can see the rogue behind it.
If you zoom in, you'll see the rogue car behind the unstoppable one.
How cool.
And then there's the stunt game. And then, cool. And then there's the stunt game.
And then, yeah.
Cool.
And so do you have an idea of when the stunt game will be going live?
So this whole build has taken us way longer than we expected,
but it's actually been really good because we've gone through and optimized the
entire metaverse because, you know, with the graphics that we have and when you go in and
out of buildings, there's no loading. You know, when you go into some of these other metaverses,
say Decentraland, for example, you go in there and anytime you go into a new building,
it loads a new environment well ours doesn't it's
just like real world you go in and out of the buildings there's no loading it's seamless so
that takes up tons of computing power a lot of ram gpu cpu so we've with this optimization, we've actually been able to reduce the usage, the computing power by 50% with this new update that we're doing.
And we've increased the graphics even more.
So when you say that, do you mean the computing power required by the user or?
by the user or?
Correct. Yes.
Correct, yes.
Okay.
So we've reduced the amount of CPU and GPU usage needed
and been able to reduce how much RAM is needed
from your computer to be able to run this.
So it's on our current build that's available to everybody,
you've got to have a minimum of 16 to 20 gigs
on your computer and um, and a decent
CPU and GPU to, to run it seamlessly. Obviously the more RAM you have and better, you know,
uh, GPU that you have, uh, it's going to run, you know, even better. But with this new update
that we're doing, it's going to allow people with lower specs on their computers to be able to go in and access and play around and interact with others okay yeah no that's great yeah and without
dumbing everything down to well below what it's built that yeah exactly and we still offer you
know people can go and change in the settings like if they want to go in on a lower setting, are they going to see all the detail?
No, the water is not going to show in the pools if you go in on, you know, medium graphics.
But if you go in under ultra graphics, you're going to see like even the water and how detailed that is.
Wow. see like even the water and how detailed that is wow so i mean so i guess probably in like maybe
competitive gaming time would be the time you would turn things down i guess um yeah if you
just want reaction time but even that reaction time on this is is even running on ultra is super smooth with this new update that's coming cool yeah yeah so
it is it's really exciting and i don't know pick your brain sometime about how some of this
optimization stuff even like i mean i understand how a lot of it works, but like the implementation is you guys do a lot.
It is.
It is a lot, you know, and one thing that's been good is with Unity, the new upgrade for Unity to Unity 6 and 6.1 now is available.
But, you know, it's got a whole change log that's available within it.
You know, it's got a whole change log that's available within it so you can see all the things that you're doing or what have been done before and what's new.
You know, if there's things that you can, it'll let you know things that you can do to make it run smoother or do better.
They've upgraded, you know, the different ray tracing opportunities within it um just all types of
stuff that they've they've done within the unity upgrade um and that's making everything better
with inside our world as well man i need to get well i haven't had time i just i was spending a
lot of time in unity and then i've just been well just doing a lot of the building
recently and i've kind of stepped away from it and it was kind of right as six was coming out
and all of these new things are there so there's a lot for me to learn and experience in unity yet
yeah there's a lot of new things with this and i mean this word that was the other part of what's taken a while, is because we went from Unity 5.4 to Unity 6.
And so a lot of the plugins and everything that worked in the old Unity
had to be fixed with the new one.
So, you know, there's just, as you know, there's a lot that goes into all of that.
Yeah, building and rebuilding and sometimes rebuilding but yeah
that's super cool though and thanks for popping in like i i appreciate the update from you i get
stuff from hermy occasionally um yeah once we have this uh this build done you know we'll
definitely set up a walkthrough i know the last walkthrough we did with Hermie to show him some of the new updates
He was you he was hoping you were gonna be able to make it but you were busy with some stuff
So we'll get one of these when we go through and you can see everything
So I'm excited
For sure and other people should hit you up for that as well. That's a suggestion to the room here.
Yeah, we'll do updates with anybody. We don't expect you to have to build or want to build or whatever.
If you just want to see what's being built and what's available, we'll do walkthroughs with pretty much anybody.
Yeah, and I mean, I think that's the, well, for a metaverse, that's kind of the I mean, that is your sales pitch.
I think you have to get people in there and just see, let them see the things that they didn't even know could exist.
Actually, one thing that if anybody wants to see, we did last Sunday, we did a walkthrough with, um, with
Tio and a few people from the ape community. Um, so we live streamed that walkthrough with them
and, um, I'll pin, I'll pin that up right now. Perfect.
There we go. I just pinned it. So yeah, if anybody wants to see what the current version
of Income Island looks like, we did the walkthrough on that. And then we showed
one of our test builds for this new one. Obviously in the test build, there's still some bugs we're
working out and lighting and things like that, but it gives you an idea and you can see what's
currently available if people want to download it onto their own computers um you can see what this looks like um we've had a lot of people we met with um
quick swap um because we have a a crypto exchange building that's inside the metaverse and we've
been talking with a few uh centralized exchanges and decentralized exchanges about putting their tech in so people
can buy sell trade on board off board directly inside the metaverse um and the guy from quick
swap compared us to gta 6 but six yeah yeah if you're if
you're looking i mean so that image that um of the income island car like if you look at that
and then you look at images from uh like promo images
that gta 6 has dropped it's pretty much right there in line with it that's a good feeling
and yeah your optimization and cleanup and everything too
i'm gonna destroy everybody's brain with yet another AI image with robots.
I should have picked a different model, but I went with the same one.
I went with the same one.
And it's, for some reason, turned all the peanuts into fingers.
Really?
Which is not creepy at all.
I mean, there are robots in there.
But it is now a helmet full of fingers.
And I'm not sure why it turned her eyes green.
And they don't even look real.
I mean, they look real, but Jesus Christ.
And the nose is hands?
Is a hand?
Wow, dude.
What the fuck, man?
That is so, like, weird, dude.
I know.
I just...
Like, I feel like it could use that computational power to make it a better looking image instead of just...
Gullerably gook.
That is so fucking weird, dude.
Yep.
Well, it's gonna get deleted because I'm not...
Well, it's out there.
It's out there for us all to see.
Yeah, exactly. It's on Twitter.
It's somewhere forever now.
Well, we got Respecter on stage.
How are you doing, Respecter?
Well, thanks for asking, Fab,
but I'm not going to gonna lie i've been better
why what's going on homie well do you mind if i pin something up top very momentarily
sure go ahead
all right i just pinned it up top uh So not too long ago, I went to Walmart, a place that, you know, I respect, you know, and I try to do business with good people.
And I go to get my shopping cart, and this is the kind of bullshit that I see.
So I don't know if it's loaded for everyone yet, but I just wanted to make sure you ever got to see that before.
I don't know if it's loaded for everyone yet, but I just wanted to make sure everyone got to see that before.
Poor little lettuce. It knew it was gone before it was too late.
You think it was left behind?
Dude, I don't know what happened, but it gets worse.
but it gets worse.
So there was an employee, right, that was like, you know,
There was an employee, right?
like the people who like, they check receipts, but they don't really.
Right.
You know what I mean?
And I'm like, who could have done such a thing?
This is unacceptable.
And this lady, probably 75 years old, says probably the Jews.
Like, are you fucking kidding me wow
like as if one thing wasn't bad enough and then we're gonna get blatant like wow
so i got like i don't know what to do so are you taking care of it did you take this with you
well i can't when you say take care of it like i mean take this with you? Well, I can't. When you say take care of it, like, I mean, good God, man.
You know, I'm just a.
You take it out back and shoot it.
That's a rat.
Whoa.
No, I'd say, I mean, just at least.
You put rubber, you give it cement shoes.
You give it a nice salad goodbye.
Little, little, little vinaigrette and a little bit of pepper and salt
adios as this conversation continues i'm realizing that you guys don't know the kind of guy i am i
don't uh i've never taken care of anything including my you know my mental health. The thought of me dealing with some
anti-diaper who hates
lettuce is like,
I don't really know what to even do
with that.
Yeah, probably
exactly what you did.
Yeah, just kind of look at
them. Just put them on blast, man.
There's only three things
that I guess
the Jews can't stand.
Jesus, lettuce, and pork.
Maybe that lady was right.
I don't know.
I don't know.
I feel like lettuce is in a lot of things.
Yeah, but maybe it's the type of lettuce.
What kind of lettuce do we have there?
Is that romaine?
A little iceberg?
Wait, hang on.
Hang on, hang on.
Did you just say iceberg?
Yeah.
Oh, do we have an issue with iceberg?
I didn't know.
Geez, goop.
Iceberg.
Watch your mouth.
Sorry, I put my foot in my mouth there.
So, wait.
So, iceberg lettuce, like, I'm just going to want to get this straight.
Is it like a slur?
Yeah, is it bad?
Like, I don't. Like, I don't...
Dude, I don't know, man.
I'm just, I'm going through a lot right now.
I'm just trying to figure all this out.
What would you look?
Yeah, good luck, dude.
Dealing with those anti-Semitic...
Anti-Leptites.
Look, I don't like them, but I am.
I'm not going to lie.
And some people aren't going to like this. I'm far more concerned with those who who take lettuce and just kind of like, you know, rip it up and leave it in a cart.
So maybe they were starting to build a giant salad in a bag.
Like, why isn't this lettuce in a bag?
Yeah.
Why was it left behind that's the questions
i learned solo like by itself what were they going to add more lettuce to it and then some tomatoes
and like just a shopping cart sandwich gonna shave a carrot in there add some radishes
yeah maybe they ate the other part of the lettuce while they were shopping and maybe they just got
a little too full you know you know they do say lettuce is a diuretic do they look i guys i gotta
i gotta get off here in a second call customer service and i and you guys brought up some pretty
good points and i fear uh that they're going to use those as justifications for their actions so
i don't really know how you're going to, you know,
talk your way out of the, you know, the new stuff.
But as far as the why the lettuce was in there,
I, you know, that was the makings of a salad, you know, right on.
But I, you know, pessimistic.
Well, I wish you luck, and I hope you find clarity about the situation and hopefully some supportive Walmartian that also feels the same as you about this.
Dude, I already know it's going to be some fucking college kid who just never graduated.
Dude, I already know it.
It's not going to go well.
No, you got to go into it all happy and like we're going to accomplish something. kid who just never graduated dude i already know uh you know this it's not gonna go well but no
you gotta go into it all happy and like like we're gonna accomplish something yeah just introduce
yourself as like kevin mccarthy you know who's that i don't know you're a kevin at this point
wouldn't that wouldn't that be it you introduce yourself as kevin yeah yeah yeah go ahead that
politician i feel like I know that name.
Is it?
I don't know. I just pulled the name out of my ass.
It does sound... Well, McCarthy sounds political.
Yeah, maybe that was it. I don't know.
Oh, dude, that's gotta be it, dude.
That's very...
You're either a musician or a politician.
Well,
McCarthy... It was the McCarthy era. politician? Well, McCart.
It was the McCarthy era.
And it was Paul McCartney.
Yeah, you're right.
McCaffrey.
Yeah, Ed McCaffrey,
wide receiver.
Denver Broncos, San Francisco 49ers.
His son, Christian McCaffrey, running back from the 49ers.
Mick.
I got it.
That's it.
That's the two Mick things that I can think of.
Yeah, yeah.
There you go.
Good braining.
Got to stretch them brain muscles, goof.
Respect you. You know what's good for brain muscles?
Lettuce. It's got all that water in it. Makes you feel, goof. Respect you. You know what's good for brain muscles? Lettuce.
It's got all that water in it.
Makes you feel better.
Hydrates you.
Dude, I couldn't agree more, man.
I appreciate you guys being supportive as always.
And let me go handle business.
I would try to.
I appreciate you, brother.
Or as you like to call it, take care of it.
Yeah, take it out back, you know.
Yeah.
If you guys saw me, you'd be like, he's not take care of it you know yeah take it out back you know yeah if you guys saw me you'd be like he's not taking care of shit he's not doing nothing oh i appreciate you man
yeah and and and the best of luck take it of the easiest. So, uh, Mr. Goo.
Yeah.
I think we need to design some,
some, some things here.
Maybe a shopping cart
filled with, uh,
lettuce,
tomatoes,
radishes,
shaved carrots,
little cucumbers.
A whole, a whole salad?
Yeah, but, but like, okay,
here's, here's where it gets good.
You have a bunch of transients
around it, and it's called
healthy bumps.
I don't like it. No, no, no.
Okay, how about
their skin
is glowing.
Transient skin is glowing
because they're so healthy from that salad.
Interesting take.
Still not going for it?
Well, I don't know. We'll see what AI has to
say about it.
I'm typing with one hand currently,
so I'm just going with a shorter prompt.
No worries.
That's lazy right there.
Whoa.
What?
There's a salad shopping cart.
Shopping cart salad.
Shopping cart salad.
Is it a salad made of shopping carts?
Oh, geez.
A salad made of shopping carts? Oh, geez. A salad made of shopping carts.
What does it think I'm doing right now?
Nope. nope it just gave me a bunch of tiny shopping carts with salad in them oh that's funny
so goof i moved over to vapes i am trying to quit smoking so i moved over to vapes. I tried this Raz orange mango
strawberry orange and mango vape.
Okay. Tastes
delicious, dude.
Yeah.
Hurt ya?
No, that was actually just a normal
cough.
Yeah, it takes a little
while to get to it. It's a little too sweet.
It's like candy air.
Weird.
I guess that's how you get the people addicted to them.
Um, I don't know.
It's funny.
Like when I go to the gas station anymore, like I'm like the guy that buys cigarettes
and everyone else is there to buy vapes. They have a wall
of vapes to pick
from. Hundreds of flavors
and styles.
Oh, okay.
They've got all of the brands
and all of the flavors from all of the brands.
Oh, okay.
It's crazy.
Well, this thing is like
9,000 puffs, right? 18 bucks. That's what thing is like 9,000 puffs, right?
18 bucks.
That's what it says.
9,000 puffs.
It was like 18 bucks.
9,000?
Yes, what it said.
That's a lot.
I know.
I guess I can't think about it like hits, like weed.
I'm trying to think of how many times I hit a cigarette when I smoke it
and this is going to replace the cart
you know
a shopping cart
no no shopping cart
I got a head inside
it's getting too warm out here
and the last day day and a half of rain has caused it to be so freaking humid.
Dude, this morning, there was like lightning that had to have hit the same place like six times in a row near my house.
I don't know what was happening, but it was just like the loudest thunder ever out of nowhere.
Oh, I'll tell you.
My dog did not like it.
A couple nights ago, about 3 o'clock in the morning,
it was this massive bang somewhere.
3, 3.30 in the morning.
Scared.
It was enough to scare my cat who was sleeping on top of me
to jump off me and run under the bed.
But it woke me up.
I couldn't go back to sleep, dude.
It was the loudest freaking bad I've ever heard.
Did you figure out what it was?
No, dude.
No freaking clue.
We had a weird one, like, I don't know, a few weeks ago.
Like, it was late at night.
So I'd say like 11 or 12.
And what sounds like somebody, somebody like three houses away,
swinging a sledgehammer in an empty trash container and hitting the side,
like just these super loud echoey bangs.
No clue what it was.
And that went on for like 20 minutes.
Like,
I don't know if somebody was like pissed at an ex and beating up their car. I don't know if somebody was, like, pissed at an ex and beating up their car.
I don't know what happened.
Okay, so ChatGPT can do a salad of shopping carts.
It can?
Does it have to turn out?
Well, it's just, I mean, it's a bowl with lettuce in it and shopping carts on top of it.
I don't know. It's just a bowl with lettuce in it and shopping carts on top of it. I don't know.
It's just a bowl of shopping carts.
Imagine is trying.
It's closer.
Yeah.
I don't know.
I'm going to stop using all my credits.
Yeah. So what are you getting into the rest of the evening?
Um, I've got a goal to finish a project,
a set of graphics cars, um,
finish up by the time I go to bed whenever that is so i'm gonna start there
maybe get back into some of this ai nonsense we'll see
okay like i want to i want to extrapolate this over ai stuff and turn it into something but
i can't really think about what that is.
I can't think of what that is.
Okay.
What are you doing?
Well, let's see here in about
a little over 15 minutes. Let me double check
the timing on this here.
Just making sure I got
everything right.
At Making sure I got everything right. At 7.30, yeah, so in about 15 minutes, we got Kicking It With Shorty, episode 505.
Something I was thinking about before the space I didn't even think of.
Are her daytime spaces Kicking It With Shorty as well?
They are quickies, afternoon kicking it with Shorty as well? They are
quickies.
Afternoon quickies with Shorty.
But do they add
to the total? No, they
do not. They do not add to the total.
Okay.
I don't know.
Had that thought.
So she's only done like 700 or 900 shows yeah yeah dude she's done well
more than 505 yeah she's probably over a grand yeah i'm pulling up the music for her space now
do you have an intro song?
Yeah, that's what she just texted me.
Got it.
Therefore, so I know what it is before everybody else.
So I've got to find this here.
No, I've got it.
You would be the guy to ask.
Well, I don't mind playing the music for her as soon as I get in there.
I like it, dude.
Anything I can do to help her out
for her space is
wonderful because, you know,
I get to be the co-host
or an awesome host,
co-host to you as well, but
two people I like
a lot.
You guys are both incredible.
I love you both in separate ways.
Of course.
