The Founder who AUTOMATED Content Creation using AI with Varun Mayya | Bad Decisions Podcast #57

[@VijitThakur-z6y]

I have a question that I keep asking varun also, We all know that the medium of instruction for skills like coding and editing are gonna be replaced by English. But still right now if I have to use AI or learn how to use AI ,there is a need to know that skill and those skills take time For example I wanted to learn programming, I am learning it for the past 8months but still I am not so good that I can make big projects and at the same time cht gpt can code better then me . The question is How to learn the right way ? The thing is I have this knowledge that mode of instruction is gonna be English but I feel powerless🎉🎉

[@badxstudio]

That's a great question and listen your concern is justified and valid! We think about the same things everyday because technology is moving at a rapid speed. In 2024 we believe the best way to look at it is the following: Whatever topic you are interested in, you must still understand its basics fully and clearly! Even if AI automates parts of the process within your field of interest, you will still need to understand it enough to be able to instruct an AI on how to solve your problems and you also need to be knowledgable enough in the field to judge the AI's work accurately to choose the best possible result. Plus remember that once AI automates a part of your process, it allows you more time to focus on other areas which are crucial to the success of your project, such as design, marketing, and etc. Therefore the best way to learn in 2024 is to still research and understand the core of your interest, learn about how AI can help you automate parts of the process, automate as much as you can to free up your time, then spend that time to learn more about other areas of interest that could help you build a better product.

[@Notgoodcodesatall]

Yo Not my bite to bit, but I guess this is how you do learn coding in this time: 1. stop panicking and get locked in on one thing BASICS AREN'T JUST "BASICS" ANYMORE. THEY ARE IN-FACT THE MOST MOST MOST IMPORTANTEST GODDAMN PRIORITY 1 THING FOR UPCOMING DAYS. SO KEEP LEARNING THEM.

[@TheGsinghg]

We are in the era of commoditising "coding" and this is a transition phase we are going through. IMHO, humanity will build a kind of "grammar" within English, that will enable access to this "AI ecosystem" and will be taught in school (or its equivalent) around grade 5-6 (or its equivalent). It will take some time to standardise this grammar and abstract it to an acceptable degree. Till then, we all have to struggle with diving deep step by step. HMU if you need these steps.

[@VijitThakur-z6y]

@@TheGsinghg really appreciate your thoughts on the whole grammar part , can you elaborate more on the steps that you mentioned?

[@TheGsinghg]

@@VijitThakur-z6y you will relate to this as an Indian, "English was learnt by speaking at school and at home. So will be AI." You have to re imagine one action that you do that is not ideal and think how AI will make it "natural". Varun did for his content creation. Pick that action, write what is needed for it and work towards solving it. If you box yourself into saying I am X and only Y can do this, then either your action needs to change or you. Do some homework and share what you did here. I'll be happy to give feedback and show you the path ahead. P.S. saying this with experience that has worked for me in the last 10 years I have been in deep Learning.

[@pujaba07]

I'm dropping a comment here as a reminder for future me - if anyone likes this, it's my cue to come back and rewatch this awesome episode! We need more tech content like this with Varun. Can't wait to see what other amazing insights you both will bring!

[@badxstudio]

hahah thanks a lot bro. We promise you will love this episode

[@prasoondhapola2875]

Same! I did a double take when I saw the thumbnail 😮

[@Hopeunfiltered]

Books varun recommend Inside apple - How apple culture was built From third world to first - How Singapore went from sh it to good stuff Memotic desire - Your desire is not yours but others except survival Really requires time and sh it ton of Psychology knowledge and that leads to removing your ego

[@prathamshetty5105]

He also spoke about I am a strange loop by douglas hofstadter and our mathematical universe by max tegmark

[@johnalmighty]

Delivering value is important but it is also creator specific. People don’t follow pages just because we like what they’re talking about, it’s also the intimacy from who is delivering it

[@adnanrasheed4366]

What the heck. I've just realized that in Wokung video it was not real varun. It's just his avatar even voice is also Ai generated. This guy is doing phenomenal job with Ai. hats off

[@pranavjakhar]

If you guys could please mention all the AI tools he spoke about in the description, it would be really helpful. thanks!

[@neerajXR]

Bad Decision Studio channel after this video 🚀 Attracted Indian audience but this Video is just Amazing ✨ Varun is fantastic guy !

[@RolandoLopezNieto]

QUESTION: besides Heygen, anyone know what other tools Varun's using to automate these videos? For example, what tools to create the B-roll and how to stitch the avatar + b-roll together? Ideally if they can be called via API would be great, I want to build something similar for another language, thanks.

[@CanadianPodcast]

This was incredible - thank you!! ❤

[@pranjal9830]

Some idea from a Varun side viewer who wanted to watch a video 😊: Idea 1: It forces me to learn Java. I wanted to learn java for school but just thinking watching video feels exhausting some secret tip to solve it. Idea 2 How to not give up on anything. I really don't want to give up on anything that started but it becomes easy to give up due to having easy time. ( DON'T be able to explain clearly sorry!😢 maybe varun would be able to understand what I mean) Some more idea but from Chatgpt fine tune extra idea for above idea and According chatgpt what and how we can make video with these ideas. (Sorry for long Message 😅) 5 New Topic Ideas for Videos 1. "Top 5 Study Hacks That Actually Work - From 10-Minute Sprints to Mind Mapping" This video would explore science-backed study techniques to improve focus and retention. Each hack could be something easy to try, like the Pomodoro Technique, active recall, or visual aids like mind maps. The goal would be to keep each hack fun and doable, giving students practical methods to study smarter, not harder. 2. "Procrastination vs. Progress: How to Stop Putting Things Off and Start Getting Things Done" A relatable look at procrastination, this video could address common reasons people avoid tasks (like fear of failure or boredom) and offer steps to overcome them. Tips could include breaking down tasks, setting mini-goals, and using habit-forming tools. It’s practical yet motivational, focusing on small changes for big results. 3. "Mastering Focus in a Distracted World - 3 Techniques to Stay on Track" With so many distractions, staying focused is a huge challenge. This video could present three focus-boosting techniques, like “deep work” sessions, digital detox strategies, and setting up a dedicated study space. Each technique would be backed by examples, and the video could include fun challenges to test these methods. 4. "How to Make Learning Fun Again - Gamifying Your Study Routine" This video could show students how to turn their study sessions into a game, complete with levels, rewards, and mini-achievements. By gamifying their routines, viewers could feel more motivated and enjoy studying as they progress. This idea adds a creative twist to everyday studying. 5. "Beating the Burnout - Tips to Recharge and Stay Motivated During Tough Times" Focused on self-care and motivation, this video would explore why burnout happens and offer quick recovery tips like rest techniques, daily reflections, and finding joy in small wins. This would be a softer, empathetic take on keeping the balance between productivity and well-being, appealing to viewers feeling overwhelmed. Video can be made for the above 2 ideas of mine 😊 The user has presented two main ideas: 1. A video that encourages them to learn Java with practical, engaging tips. 2. A motivational video on not giving up, especially when persistence becomes challenging due to distractions or comfort. To expand these ideas into engaging content, I should first break down each theme and consider what would appeal to a viewer in Varun's position: likely a student wanting practical advice and engaging motivation, without feeling overwhelmed. Possible angles to explore: For Java learning, a "gamified" approach where Java concepts feel like "leveling up" in a game might resonate. This could include practical projects or interactive elements like challenges to make the learning process more interactive. For motivation, I can frame persistence as a journey, addressing both the immediate challenge of resisting distractions and the long-term reward of achieving one's goals. Short, relatable anecdotes, motivational hacks, and "small win" strategies could be effective. Combining these into a few focused content ideas should balance motivation with actionable steps. Step 1 - Refine Idea 1 into several sub-themes for the Java video: Java Quick Start: “Java in 5 Minutes” to introduce it quickly. "Java Levels"- breaking down Java concepts into stages, like a game. Secret tips and quick hacks: e.g., real-world applications and shortcuts in Java. Make it "feel easy": relatable analogies, humor, and shortcuts. Reference tools and resources that make Java fun (e.g., CodeGym, Java games). Step 2 - Refine Idea 2 into sub-themes for a motivation video: “Why You Shouldn’t Give Up” - addressing the viewer’s desire to persist. Break down persistence into "mini wins": steps they can take daily. Short, relatable struggles and victories, showing persistence is worth it. Distraction hacks, e.g., using 10-minute blocks, to get back on track. Encourage reflection on the “long game”: visualizing the end goal daily. So far, the breakdown looks practical and gives actionable themes. However, I should ensure each theme includes real-life examples or analogies to keep the viewer engaged. The sub-themes offer a roadmap for covering both topics, focusing on engagement through simplicity and relatability. Given the positive progress, I'll refine both themes into specific video scripts or topic outlines. This will make it easier to communicate ideas and could lead to more focused, cohesive content. Step 3 - Outline for Idea 1 (Java Video): Introduction: Why learning Java is a valuable skill, even if it feels daunting. Level 1: Installing Java and running the first program ("Hello World"). Level 2: Basics of variables and data types, using gaming metaphors. Secret Tip #1: Small rewards for completing each “level” or topic. Level 3: Using loops in fun ways, like creating mini-games or animations. Level 4: Practical applications of Java (e.g., mobile games, Android apps). Closing: Encouragement with a long-term perspective and simple tips to revisit the material. Step 4 - Outline for Idea 2 (Motivational Video on Not Giving Up): Introduction: Addressing why persistence feels challenging today. Mini Win #1: Tackling projects in 10-minute segments to build momentum. Mini Win #2: Creating “no-excuse” zones-simple rituals to begin work. Mini Win #3: Visualizing success by making it “real” daily. Mini Win #4: Rewarding small wins: daily tracking or check-ins. Closing: “You’re building a habit for life, not just one success.” Both outlines capture a motivating, step-by-step approach, making abstract ideas actionable. By breaking down Java into levels and persistence into "mini wins," the content is likely to feel manageable and inspiring. Step 5 - Fine-tune practical elements for each topic: For Java, each "level" can include a mini-project or challenge. For persistence, each "mini-win" could have a relatable, short story or visualization exercise. Adding these elements should enhance viewer engagement, especially if the projects are simple and achievable. Having a narrative structure also reinforces the steps. **Final Content Ideas for Videos** Java Video: "Learning Java Made Easy - Secret Tips for Students" This video will break down Java concepts into fun, gamified levels, making each topic feel achievable. Small projects and analogies will be integrated to show how Java can be enjoyable and practical. Secret tips and quick hacks will add a "pro learner" feel to the process, encouraging persistence. Motivation Video: "How to Stick With It - 4 Mini Wins to Never Give Up" Focusing on persistence, this video will outline “mini wins” as small steps to keep going. Relatable stories and real-life applications will reinforce the message that giving up is avoidable by focusing on daily, manageable actions. Each video provides a mix of practical steps and inspiration, tailored to keep Varun and similar viewers engaged.

This one is packaged with so much knowledge! Thank for doing this one guys.

[@SatyamBhosale-lo3fg]

Faraz Man! I had the exact idea, like what if we just use the AI for the concept art for Game Dev or anything related to CGI etc. I don't about the replacement of the concept artist, but it will reduce the time it takes for communicating the ideas. Learning new things from you guys. Thanks a lot

[@vedantpatade4193]

The most awaited crossover 🔥

[@johnalmighty]

Very impressive creating clones of thyself with AI to increase the volume of content being filmed. Most short-form nowadays can run through some AI apps like Captions to help simplify the editing process. I think Solopreneurs who cannot afford a good media team can leverage this to scale their personal brand.

So you duplicate his AI to duplicate his AI so everyone will soon does the same AI. How long does 99% of people have a pretty great camera in their pocket at all times? And Still 95% takes crappy pics or has not found exposure lock. Before AI I disliked 75% lof all movies in Cinema. After AI I will dislike 75% of all AI. Amazing cooking. you must have a really great pan😂 Learn Photography, Learn Lightning. Learn Sound. Learn to see the difference between a cut two frame earlier or later. Watch your favorite movie and analyse composition, lightning. Now watch it again. Be humble. Goes against the grain.
