Chapter 5: What is Claude Co-Work and how does it work?

42.505 - 67.932 Brian Maucere

There was actually some big news in the last 24 hours. So like, we definitely want to get to that stuff, Gemini stuff and all sorts of stuff. Um, Let me just tell you, let me just tell you my last like five minutes before this show. So I had mentioned in the Slack channel that on Saturday, I was like literally driving to the store Michaels. And I'm like, I think I'm going to write a musical.

Chapter 6: What features does Claude Co-Work offer to everyday users?

68.533 - 88.224 Brian Maucere

Like just, it was just in my head. Right. I was like, I think I'm going to write a musical. And I was like, and I think I already have some songs that I've been workshopping inside Suno that are going to fit pretty well in there. They already had some narratives. And because I was a kid and I grew up on music videos and MTV growing up, I typically visualize the music I'm hearing.

88.284 - 103.859 Brian Maucere

I will typically say to myself or now to my daughter and say, what's the scene in the movie that this is playing in? Even though it's not from a scene, I'm like, what's happening while this song is going on? I just, I don't know. It's where my brain works, right? So you guys know I've been having a lot of fun with Suno. I come home that day.

0

103.879 - 114.715 Brian Maucere

I tell my wife and daughter, I proclaim to them, I'm going to write a musical to which they have zero reaction because they've heard me say stuff like this before. But just just a normal day in the mystery household. Right.

Chapter 7: How does Claude Co-Work compare to Claude Code in terms of usability?

115.196 - 135.464 Brian Maucere

So cut to like just a little bit later. And I'm like, maybe I'll just maybe I'll just take five, five minutes. I'll just get into just right into Gemini. Just see where we kind of mess out here. We'll cut to, like, two hours later, and I've got active. Because this is the reason I'm sharing this, right? It's not just because of my crazy brain or whatever.

135.484 - 144.597 Brian Maucere

Because this is, like, the best to me of AI. And Firefighters the Musical is what Jen said in the comments. No, Jen. But good idea. I'll keep that for the second one.

0

Chapter 8: What are the implications of AI's rapid advancement for user understanding?

145.618 - 166.42 Brian Maucere

I do love that, though, Firefighters the Musical. That tells me you guys are long-term listeners. Um, no. So anyway, my point to this is, is do I know anything about writing a musical? Absolutely not. I'm not qualified. Nobody would count me as qualified. I've never sat in on the director of anything of music. Okay. But here's the great thing.

0

167.001 - 186.368 Brian Maucere

I didn't need to be, all I had to do was go and write some half. Okay. Prompts that says, Hey, Gemini, I, I don't know anything about writing a musical. What do I need to know? And it's like, hey, Brian, listen, this is kind of what you need to know. There is a format, which I suspected, and da-da-da-da-da-da, right? And so that gave me a framework to work with. And I was like, okay.

186.688 - 206.313 Brian Maucere

And so it's like, look. And so then I gave it the lyrics to some of the songs. I'm like, I feel like these songs fit in. This is what I'm thinking for the story. This is what it's about. It's loosely based off of... I had this amazing friend back in the day named Leslie, who unfortunately, I don't want to take down the side side, but unfortunately, she was, well, she was murdered.

0

206.353 - 223.46 Brian Maucere

There's no other better way to say that. Um, and after college and it just was sort of devastating or whatever, but she was a unique personality and a good friend. And so I've had her in my brain sort of working on this. Well, cut to all the way to the beginning of what I'm talking about, like three, four minutes ago, like an idiot, like a dummy.

223.881 - 243.61 Brian Maucere

I go, you know, we need that one, that one other song. And it's about this breakup of two other people. There's like, there's the main, the protagonist and his character, whatever. And like, yeah, it's got to really hit. Now, Gemini has everything we've been talking about. I've stayed in one transcript because of the context window. So it understands. And I'm like, this is what I'm thinking.

243.65 - 266.297 Brian Maucere

This is what I think she's going through. This is like, this is how I see it or whatever. So Gemini is like, okay. And so we went back and forth with some lyrics. I put that in Suna when the damn song made me cry. Oh, my God. I'm not even shitting you guys. Like five minutes ago, I'm sitting at this computer right where I am and tears are coming down my eyes. I'm like sobbing in a room by myself.

266.778 - 294.194 Brian Maucere

I'm like, damn it, AI. It's nothing better than both crying and laughing at yourself. I've got to tell the DOS crew this ridiculousness that is life sometimes. Yeah, Greg's like, damn it, AI. Yeah, I say that a lot. Anyway, I just wanted to share that. It's not news. It's not anything. I don't know. I don't know where this is going. It's been really, really fun for me.

294.314 - 313.875 Brian Maucere

It's been a creative outlet for me. And I think it's just a great example of you know, this isn't, this isn't work. This isn't, this is just fun because it's fun for me. And I like to visualize things like that or whatever. And I have hosts or whatever that can kind of help out with it.

315.34 - 342.668 Beth Lyons

I like this example because it illustrates how AI can interactively elicit from you something that is meaningful and important to you that you might not otherwise have found a way to express. And it also then makes that accessible to other people, something that's powerful and has been brewing inside you, some emotional content.
