Transcripts

this right here is my intelligent system

for automated AI Computing or Isaac for

short it's sole purpose is to make

things easier for me such as order my

food or message my colleagues or

anything else that I'm too lazy to do

you can also do

this Isaac Max has been annoying me this

past week can you deal with

it of course I will make sure he never

bothers you again

and can you let me know what you do

about this later although my software

can't compete with chat or apple

intelligence uh I do have one advantage

since it's all mostly custom I can write

in custom scripts and almost do whatever

I want and that makes things interesting

this video is sponsored by PCA more on

that

later this tech company gaslit me so

hard about their previous scam they are

delivering such unfinished

products this thing is just so

underbaked because this isn't a useful

Gadget and oh look it's a

[Music]

phone looks like I'm going need to

cancel my order hey

Siri mhm can you cancel my rabbit R1

order from about a month

ago sorry Apple cash isn't available

here hey Siri mhm can you remember

remind me to work on my llm project

later I don't see an app for that you'll

need to download one damn

you so here's the plan my last device

was pretty

bad ask for things I need to

improve one more CPU power two more

functionality and three a better case so

oh yeah

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

nah

[Music]

ahahahahahahahahah

[Music]

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

okay that took a lot longer to make than

I anticipated but at least now I have a

somewhat finished build I can ask Isaac

know some basic questions when was the

US

founded the United States was founded on

July 4

1,776 kind of

loud um or I can even have it who like

Isaac can you order me a pizza

of course can you please tell what you

would like to

order I like a pepperoni pizza

please

54 Al like seeing my electronics through

the clear case it does kind of feel like

a toy in the hands

so thanks to PCB way for sponsoring this

video it's hard to convey over video but

it feels pretty nice in the hands and it

is machined way better than I could have

ever done and it's even powdercoated

which is pretty

cool H still feels like it's missing

[Music]

something uh

whoops now that all the hardwood issues

have been situated I should probably

start explaining my software Isaac is

written in Python and relies heavily on

the chat jbt API during development I

discovered there was no built-in method

for Chach BT to interact directly with

my code a feature open AI excluded for

security reasons however I need a

solution to this limitation by providing

specific context to the llm I found a

way to overcome the issue one notable

advantage of using llms is their

exellent ability to generalize I can

instruct Isaac to return a specific

phrase for General action for example if

I ask her to order a pizza Isaac can you

order me a pizza it will consistently

respond with Pizza 54 this approach may

seem unconventional but by turning a

general request into a specific response

I can use that response as a trigger for

a custom function in this case ordering

a

[Applause]

pizza continuing on once I press the

button on my device it will record my

voice for 5 seconds seconds the sound

file is then saved to a folder where it

is transcribed to text using the whisper

API this text is sent through the chat T

API and the response is played back

using

e so I actually never put in an order

for rabbit R1 but you know a friend of

mine did allow me to borrow

his who created

[Music]

Apple working on

it Apple Inc was founded by steeve jobs

Steve and Rock Way on April 1st 1976 so

I can clearly just answer basic

questions which you know shouldn't be a

shock it is running chat gbt but if we

give it you know something more Dynamic

can you order food for

me you are not logged into door rabbit

please log in the connection page on the

rabbit hole I'm not sure if current

updates have fixed this but for the

longest time this feature didn't really

work what is

this the image shows the frame and

internal components of a small drone

including the motor propeller and

electronic speed

controller can you buy this on Amazon

for me on the visible

details let me see I apologize but I

cannot purchase items for you directly

as what the

heck

flashback Isaac Max has been annoying me

this past week can you deal with

it end a flashback I programmed Isaac

with several options for disturbing

people this time it chose to spam people

with constant text messages by using the

smt python package I can directly

message phone numbers to avoid being

blocked I coded my script to switch to a

new email after a specific period I had

many spare emails because I previously

wrote a machine learning model that

could automatically create emails by

solving capes unfortunately this method

has since been

patched there's one more feature that I

saw the

Showcase Isaac what is

this this is an image of a computer

keyboard the ESC key appears to be

brightly colored possibly orange

distinguishing it from the other

Keys normally the chat gbt API doesn't

work with photos however by converting

an image into a Bas 64 format I can send

it as a message to the AP API the API

will then interpret and describe what it

sees in this case my keyboard or

anything else I choose to

ask that's basically it for these

devices although they both have their

issues and you know kind of flawed since

a phone can do everything they do but

better they were still interesting

things to work on other than that uh the

device I made was really just uh

practice for now luckily I was able to

meet a friend who has experience with

designing pcbs so hopefully in the next

video I will be able to make a custom

board that will definitely open up

things to another level
