I built a Chris Do AI in my brain from watching all these KZbin videos. 🤣 Now, anytime I have a question, I have this Socratic dialogue in my head that sounds like Chris asking me questions that just lead me to the answer… 😅 I’m a teacher and I appreciate still being able to find amazing educators. Hope we all learn to teach others to find value. 🤙🏼

[@thefutur]

Wow. Teacher/student. Student/teacher.

[@Dale_youngblood]

WWCDD "what would Chris Do Do" 🤣

[@jay7bah]

Agreed. When I've got a hard business decision to make, I often look at Chris in my mind's eye. "His" answers are usually blunt and simple, but require some wrestling of emotions.

[@primeryai]

I built one for priming ChatGPT :)

[@joe_fabricator]

"Duplication is easy, Creation is very difficult".....Love this...

[@Camilla-tc8vq]

This is the school education I wanted - without the price tag 🙏

[@bonaface]

yeah but he goofy AF, so maybe you should stick to school?

[@Camilla-tc8vq]

@@bonaface the call is coming from inside the house

[@thefutur]

Hey Bonaface if you don't have anything nice to say don't say it at all...

[@williamhardaway4432]

The degree to which six figures is achievable is increasingly more challenging when basic needs are not met. When you are starving it is difficult to think. When you are oppressed in inequitable ways stratified by race, class, etc… it becomes increasingly more difficult.

[@thefutur]

Basic needs to be met first. Yes.

[@japmandeepkaurg]

I know this is off topic😅 But CHRIS I LOVE YOUR FIT!

[@thefutur]

Thank you

[@johnkenney501]

Chris Do is one of the most influential teachers of our time. You have been so helpful to me as a small ornamental iron business in small town Mississippi. Thank you for your persistent hard work!

[@thefutur]

That means a lot, grateful to have been a part of your journey.

[@KingdomCrafter]

I've followed you for years now and am a massive advocate for you. However, I do think it's worthwhile to really be cautious in comparing how humans interpret and become inspired or even rip-off from artists to create their art vs AI and that process. There are many factors to consider, starting with the most obvious one; AI are not Human, and shouldn't be compared to what we do. It's not the same playing field at all. One clicks of a button with a generic description can syphon through billions of unethically scraped works to automatically compose ideas from the greatest works. A human, however, has to analyze one piece at a time, build up a visual library, explore and find the solutions in their design. We haven't set the ethical groundwork enough to claim that AI won't severely displace talented creatives, because it already has.

[@ericahanes2009]

So much greatness in here... "AI is a trillion dollar of new wealth but it won't be distributed evenly." --- great quote and tru. M "I spent a lot of time learning it." CD "What is a lot" M "Hours." --- I was cracking up. CD dismantles the ethics argument of Text to Image/Video --- CD masterfully turns the argument into, we need more creative people, we need more creative thinking... more people come aware art, poetry, and cinema is a good thing. "Does it pass the human test before it passes the AI test." "Inspired by..." --- perfect point. "AI racist." Every person in that room has asked a designer to make some, like something else they have seen. AI has leveled the paying field for the non-creative. Also, the argument the Creative Director made is already solved by the private tier on Mid Journey. So many get hung up on the change as the barrier and see it as a problem and don't see it as an opportunity.

[@AKO_JIMMIE_RSA]

thanks

[@thefutur]

You're welcome!

[@knlvnt]

this stimulated my brain at a different level, enjoyed very much

[@thefutur]

Glad to hear it!

[@AuricUnity]

I feel Chris. I teared 😢up hard at the end of Bicentennial Man 🤖 with Robin Williams 😂

[@thefutur]

here are a few more for you: AI with Haley Joel Osment Robot sacrificing himself in Rogue 1 Finch Iron Giant

[@AuricUnity]

⁠@@thefuturRogue One 🔥 I’ll have to check the others. Thanks for the recommendations!

[@almostasian903]

Oh Chris, you nailed it! This discussion is really putting into words some of the apprehension I have with the programs I use.

[@thefutur]

Thank you

[@gideonsteward93]

this is nice & difficult.

[@thefutur]

All the best things are.

[@khairt1731]

24:46 Creating content and copywritint with A.I is a sure way to fail. Google and FB are flagging A.I generated content and it will rank you lower in the search. A I generated emails will go straight to the spam box. A.I generated Ads are about to have a watermark showing the users the ads they are seeing are created by A.I No customer/client will trust A.I generated ads.

[@herrDOS]

Easy to make 6 figures in the US? No. 400 times easier than in Poland? Yes. 5000 times easier than in Kenya? Yes.

[@thefutur]

it's a global marketplace. if you have internet connection, you can work in any place in the world.

[@ericahanes2009]

The brainstorming tool made me think of the days when I was learning Excel... is that cheating at data? Excel democratized actuation and data.

[@OpenBookmarksCo.]

nice objection and discussion 💥

[@brusan]

I like these "real life" sessions a lot more. whenever I watch a youtube video where they are talking online it just feels like I'm in a work meeting lol

[@MatthewCicanese]

This was fantastic! Thank you so much, Chris. 💙🚀✨

[@thefutur]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@carinedeswardt2946]

Problems are usually the best opportunities!

[@thefutur]

Yes they are!

[@ericahanes2009]

My wife says the same thing to me too... "How come you judge everyone so much? How can you work with these people if you feel this way about them?" I tell her something similar "Easily, I can't help make critical observations, but I can put my feelings aside. That doesn't mean they don't have value and we can't work together."

[@thefutur]

I can observe without judging.

lmao that apron makes it look like chris s dressed in a super long tshirt Alvin from the chipmunks style

[@thefutur]

haha. fashion isn't for everyone.

[@adevikthur]

We waittt😊

[@dg-space]

That was another classic session with powerful teachings by Chris-I call him my Zen master. Somehow, I feel I completely understand every word he says; his analogies are spot on. I hope to incorporate his teaching skills into my architectural and creative mentoring.

[@DesignWho]

hi

[@thefutur]

hey

[@tmc212]

Amazing talk as always! Thank you Chris and The Futur. Also that's a dooooope T-shirt!!😮 The designs are crazy.

Crushing em Chris

[@sub.owen.create]

Gold as always

[@samualtarpenning4018]

I love how he is preaching ownership of your life. Great dialog Chris!

[@Judegalang_]

Ahhh I’ve missed these Chris!!

[@LEMON-BOY]

I’d choose to get into one of these rooms with Chris any day of the year. I feel like we’d share some beautiful insight with the world.

[@thefutur]

be on the lookout for our next fireside.

[@darryld6591]

This was great Chris. Really miss these sessions.

[@thefutur]

Thank you. hope you can make it an event near you.

Higher quality problems. “Cursed be the ground for our sake”

Bro wtf kind of mic is that 📦😂

[@Thedigitalalex]

Tysm 😊

[@thefutur]

You’re very welcome

[@HA-tv8gb]

Chris, heres one that holds true always. Effort = Expectation, meaning the effort you give should be on the same level as your the expectations you place on that given subject, task, etc.

[@chakramonkeyrelax]

Such truth here... I left the door open and was stolen from and lost a $20,000month client after my business partner emptied the company bank account mid project. Starting new relationships in generosity and actually paying attention to who people really are is so important. I've been a teacher for 25 years, 15 years at University Graduate level.... always as a fallback.. Chris, you're an amazing teacher and I second the commenter's post about hoping to teach others to find value. I use your book in my classes.

[@siya_the_brother]

I've definitely missed the white board session but Chris the fashion bro!!!🔥🔥🔥 fire emoji

[@StudioLens-KR]

Pure Gold. Thank you Chris.
