It's specifically upsetting Hollywood because apparently there's lots of copyright concerns.

2:14It doesn't seem like there's really any filters on this. It also seems like a pretty good model to the point where Hollywood is concerned. So today we're going to talk a little bit more about this, how maybe we see it being used in the future, and potentially how you can make money with it. So before we get into that, Jayden, why don't you tell them about our school community? Okay, so every week, Jamie and I share our school community. We make an exclusive video that we post over there, and we basically outline how we're using AI to grow and scale our businesses and make money. So different online side hustles.

2:44Jamie shares how he has done a ton of different side hustles, whether that's the Amazon Influencer Program. I share a whole bunch about how I've used AI to do music. I make$2 ,000 to$3 ,000 a month passively. There's nothing I do from a bunch of music albums that I've created with AI. There's a whole bunch of different things. And most importantly, it's whatever we're currently actively working on. So we have a whole segment on vibe coding. We share how Jamie has revamped and redesigned entire websites with AI, a whole bunch of cool tips, tools, and features, how I've created an entire software platform that replaced$1 ,000 of virtual assistants that I used to pay to do something with Lovable.

3:24So if you're looking to automate things inside of your organization, I would 100 % check out this whole Vibe Coding course along with dozens of other videos and hundreds of members in here. It's an amazing resource for growing and scaling your business using AI. So go check it out. there's a link in the description to the school community okay uh seed dance 2.0 something i'm super excited about when when hollywood is mad usually i am excited because i feel like the tool is good enough that they feel threatened in some way um so there's a couple different things they they complain about one of them is blatant copyright infringement so here's the thing with all of the models coming out of china and so i'm sure people will be upset about me because realistically there are concerns with all these models coming out of China but they basically China doesn't care about copyright infringement they will slurp up all of the data they can in the world and they will pump out any outputs they want and they don't really care about Disney's trademark etc etc and so consequently the models are awesome they don't feel very nerfed and you can basically make anything you want with them now is Hollywood mad about that yes they are will there be lawsuits of course but in the meantime for users this is super fun and there's a ton of cool stuff that we can make and um china usually is kind of draws a a different line than most the american companies so i've been looking on um x and been seeing a ton of super cool videos that uh people are making with seed dance uh most impressive i think is that you can make these really long shots with a ton going on you could do spider-man even though that's obviously trademarked and from a single prompt you can have him flying around the city i mean honestly the models look way better than what Sora 2 even has right now.

5:03So I think we can expect to see these things getting better and better. Jamie, what's your take on the story though? I mean, I think this is awesome. I think a tool like this really could help any filmmaker, someone making advertising content, even YouTube content, because some of the limitations now I found even with Sora 2, it is possible, but it's nearly impossible to have it generate a 16 by 9 resolution or not resolution, what am I thinking about? The aspect ratio. So it's all vertical geared towards short form content on a phone which is pretty limiting for someone looking to do advertising or anything really.

5:49So I like that these are horizontal. The quality looks really amazing. I think it's cool. I think there are obviously copyright concerns deep fakes and all that stuff that could be a problem so um yeah i don't know i mean what are your thoughts because i've heard you've been using cap cut a lot for video editing so this is this model is going to get added to cap cut soon currently it's only available in china but yeah i mean there's like the deep fake issue i think is real there's a video i'm watching right now where someone has like lebron james playing basketball against some chinese girl and she's like uh you know she's scoring on him and so obviously lebron james um would be upset about this and like the lakers logos in this like there's all sorts of i think concerns but at the end of the day that's pretty is a pretty awesome video it looks pretty cool there's another person that has a cool use case which they say um they're they want to make live action versions of all their favorite animes so because you can upload clips they basically just upload like one scene of an anime to it and then it turns it into live action so like an actual person which is crazy and of course hollywood i'm sure is not happy because you're remaking actual movies but it looks amazing like you totally could remake an entire anime movie with that another thing that someone else is uh showing off that you can do is um they didn't like the ending of game of thrones from HBO and so they used Seed Dance to create the new ending that they wish could have happened.

7:19This is kind of funny because when I was growing up I remember I actually made a YouTube video which is actually funny. So I lived on a sailboat for a year growing up and we had a lot of spare time on our hands and so one day I made a How It Should Have Ended for Shucks, what's that movie with Wilson the volleyball and Castaway. Castaway, yeah. I made a castaway how it should have ended video i don't know you know it's funny i was bored posted that on youtube and i think like years later i had a random person i ran into that's like dude did you make it how it should have ended for castaway and i'm like uh maybe and they're like yeah like i was on youtube after watching that movie and i'm like man this movie's stupid i want to watch like how it should have ended and then i ran into yours anyways it's kind of funny so like i did that as a kid people are doing that today with all of the movies that they wish they could change the ending to and now see dance can completely do that so people are making new endings to game of thrones and any other movies that they want which is uh which is kind of a hilarious use case again something i bet hollywood is not happy about though yeah i mean i can definitely see that side of it i think you know the creative it's gonna you know up to this point a lot of the video generation stuff hasn't been that it's been kind of gimmicky and hasn't you know been that useful But I feel like moving forward to someone who's like making, let's say you're making a faceless YouTube channel and you want to have some nice B-roll.

8:47You can generate it and it's really high quality, visually engaging. There's just so many side hustles I feel like you could do with this. You said you replaced your Adobe Premiere with CapCut. Is that true? Yeah, that's kind of crazy. The other day I was looking at it and I realized I've paid like Adobe$5 ,000 over the years for everything Adobe. And I actually used to be the biggest Adobe fan. I was huge on Photoshop, but I replaced that with Canva years ago. And a lot of the things I use Adobe for, I've just kind of replaced them with simpler or different tools. I'm not like a crazy pro user.

9:22But the one thing I couldn't escape from was Premiere because that's kind of how I learned how to edit videos. So that's I edit everything with Premiere. So anyways, I was like, I'm like, I would love to just get off Premiere. First, I thought I was going to use DaVinci Resolve because it's basically the same thing, but free. And it came time to edit a bunch of videos. I canceled my Adobe subscription because I was like, I'm just going to go all in on this. And it ended up that I was like, you know what? Maybe I'll just try CapCut instead because I'd had it recommended before. Anyways, incredible tool.

9:52Highly recommend it. You can do there's they have a lot of AI features. And it's basically everything Adobe should be doing. But I feel like they're not. Maybe it's maybe I'm not the pro user that they're they're targeting. but in any case I was able to create my like I swear I saved like 75 % of my time creating a bunch of videos I recently created um my wife does like uh Christian videos or music and so like I had edited a video months ago but it was just I didn't have the bandwidth to go and like do it and I edited the whole thing in like an hour and color graded it on CapCut this whole video I'll go out soon nice and um yeah so I think there's a lot of these tools that and seed dance is gonna get built straight into CapCut because it's the same bite damage company.

10:33So I think they're doing a really good job of creating, number one, the software layer of editing, and then number two, the model layer of these AI models, and they're putting them together, I think is going to be a pretty formidable opponent to, I mean, even to open AI with something like Sora, this is going to be plugged straight into CapCut. That's kind of genius. They have all that distribution. It's going to be hard to compete with. Yeah, and I have one other quick side hustle you could do. I am working on growing like a website redevelopment company. And a lot of companies have these old outdated pictures on the website.

11:08And I found that Google VO3 allows you to turn them into pretty accurate looking video. So basically you can take a picture of a building and have it turn it into a drone shot like panning around it. It does pretty well. A lot better than Sora too. But I feel like something like this could do even even better and you have long the ability to do longer clips it looks like and things like that so as it gets better that to me is is another hack a way you can make money is by helping businesses add some like motion graphics to their website instead of just still images so 100 so lots of opportunity i'm excited we'll keep you guys updated on everything with seed dance 2.0 if it gets sued if it gets uh or if it continues to be a great place to create endings to all of your favorite movies um thanks everyone so much for tuning in to the podcast today we hope you appreciate the episode if you did make sure to leave us a rating review wherever you get your podcast it just helps us out in the algorithm a ton uh to be found by more amazing people like yourself if you're listening on spotify it's like about tab if you can click on that and drop us a review.

My name is Mackenzie and I started a GoFundMe for the adoptive mother of a nonverbal autistic child. The mother had lost her job because she wasn't able to find adequate care for this autistic child. So she really needed some help with living expenses, paying some back bills.

13:30So I launched a GoFundMe to help support them during this crisis. And we raised about$10 ,000 within just a couple of months. I think that the surprising thing was by telling a clear story and just like really being very clear about what we needed. We had some really generous donations from people who were really moved by the situation that this family was struggling with.
