[0:00]That's why I haven't really done this in
[0:01]a while where I just make these small
[0:03]clips and then just clip them all
[0:04]together. Lately, I've been thinking
[0:06]about it.
[0:09]It's just a lot of work and
[0:13]well, it's a couple of reasons. One of
[0:15]them is because I don't have Power
[0:17]Director anymore. That's what I always
[0:18]used, but that subscription expired.
[0:21]There's another one I use sometimes
[0:23]called Ukut. It's not terrible, but it's
[0:26]not great. So, but I can and I wanted to
[0:30]share this. So,
[0:32]um I learned a new skill. I learned to
[0:34]make chicken with my Ninja Foodie.
[0:38]So, always afraid of making chicken. I
[0:40]have one video on here from
[0:43]probably a year ago. I wouldn't even
[0:45]know which one. Where I tried making
[0:48]chicken and I picked it up and it was
[0:50]raw and it was so gross to me. I just
[0:52]kind of tossed it. I was like, "You
[0:55]gross."
[0:56]never tried again after that. But at
[0:59]some point, it was actually my friend
[1:01]John. He he makes chicken a lot because
[1:04]he makes salads a lot and he convinced
[1:07]me that I should try to eat more
[1:09]chicken. So, I did try he told me he
[1:11]gave me some ideas. He's like, "Get some
[1:13]frozen ones, you know, that you can just
[1:15]put in the microwave or something like
[1:17]that."
[1:19]And somehow that ended up to where I was
[1:22]actually getting raw chicken breasts.
[1:25]And you know I wasn't you know I well so
[1:30]from there I started making it on my
[1:32]fire pit. So I would make it out on my
[1:34]campfires which was totally awesome.
[1:36]I've done this probably a dozen times
[1:38]now.
[1:41]I artificial intelligence told me how to
[1:44]do it. So you just put it in tin foil
[1:46]and put it on some hot coals for 10
[1:48]minutes on each side and it's usually
[1:49]done. Always check the temperature of
[1:51]course.
[1:53]So I did that a whole bunch of times and
[1:54]then I was like, you know, that's it's
[1:56]also a lot of work, right? I mean, got
[1:58]to get your fire going and wait for
[1:59]coals and all that. So I was just
[2:02]working on my computer last night. I was
[2:06]like, I'm really hungry. Got chicken in
[2:08]the freezer. It's about almost all of
[2:11]what I have, honestly. And
[2:14]I was like, "Can I do this in the Ninja
[2:16]Foodie?" You know, and Okay, so it's
[2:19]really simple. You just put it on air
[2:21]crisp, 10 minutes on each side, just
[2:22]like a freaking campfire. So, it's
[2:25]really easy.
[2:27]And so, I got my chicken breast here.
[2:29]That's what I'm eating tonight. This
[2:32]over here is some of the stuff that ends
[2:34]up on the outside of it. Notice this on
[2:36]the fire pit, too. I don't know if
[2:37]that's fat or what that is. It's so
[2:39]gross. Like, it is kind of gross to cook
[2:41]chicken. that I think probably my
[2:44]mother, who's always been the one who's
[2:46]cooked for me throughout my life, uh
[2:49]probably
[2:50]prevented me from seeing stuff like that
[2:52]cuz
[2:54]I don't know. This this part of life
[2:56]I've always
[2:59]Oh, yeah. I don't know. I don't have
[3:01]words for it. So, I'm doing pretty good.
[3:05]Um
[3:07]there's a whole lot going on, of course.
[3:12]There's a lot I want to talk about that
[3:13]I've been thinking about talking about.
[3:17]I guess I could try to talk about some
[3:19]of it now. So, for the past week, I've
[3:22]been trying to get a local AI model to
[3:26]be able to mirror me more accurately
[3:28]than
[3:29]it's able to so far. And I've tried a
[3:32]bunch of different inference engines to
[3:34]do this. I started with the llama and
[3:37]then I switched to
[3:40]um
[3:42]there was I don't remember what the
[3:43]second one was and then Xlama was the
[3:45]third one that I've been working on. I
[3:46]just haven't gotten that one to work
[3:47]yet. The second one's BL LLM
[3:50]and
[3:53]I'm getting close, but I just have a
[3:55]bunch of compilation errors, just
[3:57]compiling errors. And um
[4:02]once I do that though, once I get that
[4:05]working and if I can get the local model
[4:10]to mirror me the way chat GBT and Claude
[4:13]do, at least like 80% of the way there,
[4:15]that's really all it needs to do.
[4:17]I'll trust it with like certain
[4:19]questions and I'll just have it go
[4:21]through all my videos and with each
[4:24]video it just needs to
[4:29]needs to kind of like classify it and
[4:31]give it like a
[4:33]some kind of a rating. I have I'm still
[4:35]kind of thinking through this part
[4:37]because there's a lot of different ways
[4:38]I could take that. Like most people will
[4:40]probably go with vulnerability score
[4:42]like is this really vulnerable and if so
[4:45]then don't make that a public video. but
[4:46]I don't think this way. So, it needs to
[4:48]have a different kind of criteria.
[4:51]And I'm going to go through that and
[4:54]then it's going to decide should this
[4:56]video be public? And if it says no, uh
[4:59]it'll decide should it be in one of my
[5:02]subscription service buckets, which
[5:04]currently doesn't have any videos, but
[5:06]it's been active since December.
[5:08]And I think I might just go with one um
[5:11]just one
[5:14]um one level. like there's four there,
[5:16]but I think I might just go with one
[5:17]level and if someone subscribes to that,
[5:20]then they'll have access to those
[5:21]videos.
[5:23]And I feel like that might be a path
[5:25]forward for me if there are, you know, a
[5:27]handful of people out there that are
[5:29]willing to use the service.
[5:33]I'll also turn comments on there. I
[5:35]think that's important. I just don't
[5:36]like having public comments because that
[5:38]has never gone well for me.
[5:41]what on my subscription service, we'd be
[5:43]able to communicate from there. And I
[5:45]actually think that that would be nice.
[5:49]Also, if I'm talking to if I know who
[5:51]I'm talking to, if I know who my
[5:52]audience is, it's not just some public
[5:55]channel, but I'm literally addressing
[5:59]the people who are supporting me, I
[6:02]think that that will probably change the
[6:04]frame in which I talk to them.
[6:07]Because when I get on this camera, I
[6:10]always think about the past 18 months of
[6:12]what I've been through with my audience.
[6:15]And it's just been
[6:18]less than ideal. And so I just
[6:24]I don't know. I some of that I'm still
[6:26]processing. But that's what I'm trying
[6:29]to do. I think that might be a quick
[6:31]path forward for me to at least get some
[6:33]money coming in. And then from there
[6:40]the AI model it can
[6:44]look at other things. I've talked about
[6:45]this part. So we'll start doing the
[6:47]reflections and then it'll start doing
[6:49]the clusters and then the reflect
[6:51]reflecting on those clusters and
[6:53]clusters of clusters. And I know that
[6:55]doesn't really tell you a lot yet but it
[6:57]will once it's ready.
[7:00]It's profound.
[7:03]I just got to get this local model
[7:04]working right. I can't use the paid one.
[7:06]It's too expensive.
[7:09]Their API is
[7:11]I mean I did it with my 700 videos for
[7:14]one small thing not too long ago u maybe
[7:16]like a month ago and that cost cost $20
[7:19]which actually isn't a lot of money but
[7:22]it was combined with my situation and
[7:27]all the data that I would want it to
[7:29]process it because it was a lot more
[7:30]than what I did there. I estimate it's
[7:33]probably like 500 to a thousand or even
[7:36]a couple thousand to do everything that
[7:37]I'm trying to do.
[7:41]And one day I will
[7:44]I'm working my way there. I'm just
[7:46]taking a different path than I did in
[7:47]the past.
[7:50]In my old life, this would have been
[7:52]nothing, you know, but I'm working under
[7:54]very different circumstances now.
[8:00]And I don't really have all the answers
[8:01]for why. Like I can't really explain to
[8:04]you because I can't explain it to myself
[8:07]why
[8:09]I'm committed to the path I'm on at all
[8:12]costs. But I know I am because I see it
[8:15]in my behavior and my patterns.
[8:19]I could have made other choices and I
[8:20]didn't. I'm owning my choices
[8:24]and trusting that they're taking me
[8:26]where I need to go because something in
[8:28]me tells me it is.
[8:31]So, I guess that's an update for now.
[8:33]I'm going to eat my chicken.
