Brah! Even the Protestor Couldn’t Muster a Reason to Stay: How I Built Zero Agentic AI Agents in Three Hours at the Second Misleading AI Workshop in a Week
Topics: AI, Automation, Technology, Marketing, Leads, Keyword Triggers, Funnels, Help!!
I’m a girl with a plan. My plan? Learn about agentic AI bots to help me find more clients for Kelly Tutors!!! I want more students and I want help from robots. So this event will (hopefully) solve that problem. It’s a hefty 3.5 hours of listening, learning, and building. But I’m ready for it. Ready to learn and solve this problem!! And learn what is possible to build.
Why Attend: I love to teach and lately I’m having more fun than ever making new content. I’m also on a pursuit to market more and bring on interns… so its like the wheels are spinning but they’re not going anywhere. So… I need keep up the efforts and push with all I’ve got (refer to the “hercules” story on my homepage… I’m trying, people!! I’m trying
Photo Collage and Commentary:
NOTES FROM THE EVENT:
Guys next to me are talking about when people say what they’re doing makes other say they sound crazy, its a green flag. It’s never led him wrong. Just need people to execute it.
Those willing to give it a go are those that will survive, endure, and come out better than they were before.
It’s a moment in time but if they’re open to it, tehy have a far better chance of surviving the reckoning if you will. The ones who didnt see it coming and choose to do nothing about it or they have a hard stance.
LOL this is the title of my podcast on GME and AMC! Which just got renewed today.
“The Reckoning”
This event is running late so far.
These guys still talking about how they’re doing their part to lead. They’re curious about quantum and how thats a huge rabbit hole.
I REALLY wanna learn about it too.
When you have the purpose and vision, you never feel bored. I wish I didn’t have to sleep cause I’d be doing so much. But I have two kids, a wife, I’m so excited about it all. It’s why I keep doing it.
Oaky they’re about 30 minutes late and everyone is going up to a table making nametags and signing in but they dint make an official announcement for it so i’lm just siting back and waiting. Cause I wanna keep working on my podcast marketing.
The guy next to me said he dropped out of school cause he wants to just go get a job.
Okay I got some food (Costco pizza lollllll. Yuck/okay) and now waiting for them to start. It’s already almost 1 hour in and nothing has happened. Not even a “hello” from the leaders. Just people networking randomly.
Okay the speaker is up saying she wants learning to be free and to bring the best speakers possible. Liek tonight.
For the past 2 years they’ve had great speaker giving their knowledge from the product side that they’ve developed (her accent is hard to follow a bit). She said they invite ou an hour early so you have an hour to network 9but idk they dint make it seem that way, just seemed awkward in teh beginning hahaha.
They’re tailing about upcoming events and even how this day will go. They said the last hour will be an hour — a discussion??? What hte heck?? I thought it was going to be a building time. I’m not going to b happy if it’s one hour of talking then another hour of talking AND THEN A PANEL!!!
Now this guy is talking nd said hi everyone good evening. (No one replies) and they say - I need a hi from everyone, bring some energy. Then they say, “hello” - then he asks if we all had pizza and got some networking. Then do 5 second networking and say hi to hte person beside you. Lol. I hate all this forced entry and forced hello and lol
Okay he says perfect, perfect, thanks som cut . Don’t forget to connect on linkedin. Please be active on Linkedin.
Okay this guy works at a huge company and he said he’s worked there quite a while.
BRO today I heard a video about how the only way to get wealthy is to work at a company for.3 years and then transfer to a new company to get a promotion and more money - 30% increases. So…. Idk I bet he’s not paid as well as he could be hahahah.
He just seems a bit modest, his vibe.
Okay he said he’s a teacher and works at the company. One of the biggest companies in the world
See… I wonder if teaches for extra money. He teaches undergrad and graduate.
Now he’s just talking about the history of his work and like the past decade and how he used to work on floppy discs and how they’d wear out after 2 years. And how it had to be small sized. And then going fro floppy to CD the world felt like an oyster.
Lol I remember making floppy discs so awesome and filling them up and taking them to school and entertaining myself so much with content from hoem during computer time
BROOOO BUT I’m LIKE WAHT IS THIS? A HISTORY CLASS OR A CHANCE FOR ME TO LEARN ACTUALLY? HIS SPEECH IS ONLY 30 minutes long AND SO FAR HES JUST GIVING A BORING TALK ABOUT THE HISTORY OF SOFTWARE NOOOO.
I’m like no please don’t let this event be a let down!? How did they promote it as “build…” wait. Waht was the name of this? It’s named “Zero to Build in 3 Hours” BRO WHEN ARE WE LEARNING TO BUILD? I guess we’re talking about “zero” for a while.
He’s talking about how there used to be stuff that could only hold one photo
- lol, how did they record the moon landing?
Lol now he’s talking about Elon sending hte Tesla into space suddenly as I say that
And I’m like, yeah… and how did they have a video of the spaceship landing on the moon? Who filmed it? Lol
The moment of time we’re in is how AI can transform things. It’s what it couldn’t be 2 years ago. The power you hold in your hand with your phone are impossible when you look at 1982. That evolution is going to continue. And the more we look at opportunities, what we see as capabilities for AI will only increase and only scale further
Okay still he’s sayin nothing I don’t know and/or just random facts about software over the past 50 years…
The more we can understand how to leverage it and the complexity and capability with tech, it’s important to understand where we’re at with what we can do. It’s only just the beginning.
Okay now he wants to reverse back again and look at 1982, waht it was like to do thing. Ugh omggggggggg. This guy. We are not here for a history lesson we are here to learn how to build agents. I’m really gonna be angry if they dont’ teach us ow to build an I don’t walk out of here with ABILITY TO BUILD AN AGENT HAHAH AHHH I’ll have to self teach myself.
Omg he’s saying how you had to do “RD to remove things” or blah blah. C:/> or whatever. Geezeeeeee.
He is asking if we have Alexa or use smart home devices. Talking about how his son uses one and has a ninja light and bedtime stories sometimes imagine dragons music will start playing when he says dragons during the story.
Geeze. I’m so over things being marketed wrong about AI this is the second time in a week. Right? The last one I went to.
Now they say first you need to give AI raw data. That’s essentially trying to limit what you have as your scope material
Bro!! THIS AUDIENCE IS LIKE A BUNCH FO GENIUSES THEY KNOW ALL FO THIS
Then you need the vector score, knowledge base to model train, LLM to reason, and all of that makes the RAG for contextual accuracy.
He keeps talking about how the data is waht he uses for lectures. He gives flat data. Omg waht are you talking about? Just telling stories about teaching kids. Ahhhhhh.
This event description says: “Gain practical enterprise AI insights and a hands-on workshop.... Join us for an exclusive evening of session, workshop, insights, innovation, and high-impact networking with senior technology leaders shaping the future of Data, AI, and Security.”
WHERE IS THE WORKSHOP?
Now he’s saying AI helps him tell history students about assignments and topics. The criteria is inside of the knowledge base. DUDE THIS IS A SMART GROUP
OMG HE IS EXPLAINIGN HOW LLMS WORK!?!?!??! He says I’m sure all of you have played with ChatGPT and seen that - no shit!! Half the peopel here invented their own AI I bet. Gimme a break> right???
OMG He says let’s start off with an easy win (but BRO you HAVE 2 minutes left)
He says he hopes at least some of us have created images with AI. DUH WE HAVE! WHAT DO YOU THINK THIS AUDIENCE IS. RIGHT? I Mean this is a SMART AUDINCE no joke everyone here is older than me, looks professional. I’m just like wtf is this.
He’s showing his cool AI images. And he’s saying that each image was wrong 40 times till he found something he lies
Dude. Idk about that. He takes LOT OF time to make good images. He needs a better image generator than whatever he is using. Like, literally he must be using a bad app.
Now he said he’s skipping the next slide.
Next pic has mark Zuckerberg on his page and says 66% customer trust loss, 15% drop activity and 120b valuation lost. The risks of building without integrity.
He says this is hte perfect example of how in 2016 he went in front of congress not paying attention to how data was being used.
BRO WHAT IS ANY OF YOUR TALK??? HOW ARE YOU GIVING THIS SPEECH RIGHT NOW? LIKE I HAVEN’T LEARNED ANYTHING YET. I literally haven’t learned anything yet. What happened to building agentic ai agents!??!?!?
He says the example of anthropic vs government. Its a good example
Okay he’s talking about data and safety but WHAT ABOUT AGENTIC AI??? BUILDING? I’M LOSING MY COOL HAHAHA. I’m just sick of this. I’m sick of these events teaching nothing and being marketed like they are cool and useful. Ahhh hahahaha am I the only one? Omg theres a guy covering his face with his hands looking like he wants to sleep. More people in the audience some look gnat hphones. Some just sitting glad listening
He’s talking about suicides from bots talking to people. Why is this important? It’s like a 6 year old child. GO back to 1982.
Now he’s talking about how he built an annotation tool. Okay….. omg he just tells a million personal stories. Geez. This guy is so used to being a teacher and having a group of students stuck listening to him I”m sorry I’m being rude but I’m like waht is this? It’s not useful or anything. I’m stunned. Why? CAUSE THIS IS THE TREND LATELY. TO ADVERTISE AI EVENTS LIKE YOU’LL LEARN AND THEN THEY LITERALLY JUST DONT. It’s like this is AI 101….??????? HOWWWWWW.
The important way to look at it is “user vs. human” you’re at the mercy of what the system can do. As a human you interact with the rest of hte world. It’s important go from user to assistance approach for humans. That lies at the heart of how we make all decisons for our products now.
Omg he’s talking so much and he’s already gone over his limit for 5 minutes.
He says that models that tare behavioral primitives that all AI shoudl follow
Purpose and value proposition
Role archetype
Initiative level
Capabilities
Interaction content
Memory behavior
Tools used
Explainability and transparency
Boundaries and constraints
Risks and open questions
Success metrics
Taming horses for necessary means.
Btw he didnt even talk about any of this, I just copied it off of his PPT ahhhh hahahah omg. I’m so frustrated with this city not delivering anything educational about AI.
So he built a tool that provides a way to be able to create the customization or the AI. (He’s just got a video playing but hte font is so small he’s not even using full screeennnnN!!!!!!!! Ahhh)
He said who is the persona? The username? And the framework. This is an example of a student project. It is AI to help you at the seattle art museum
It takes persona components. It will process into a mock experience (what is he even talking about????)
I dont know how he’s not been int he past round of firing at his company. He has nothing of value to teach us. I’m stunned. This is insane.
He said he created a steering dock that is instructions for AI to offer. (BUT HES NOT SHOWING US HOW TO DO IT AND I DONT EVEN GET WHAT HE IS TALKIGN ABOUTTTTTT)
OMG HIS SCENARIOS IS “WAHT IF I’m LOST IN THE MUSEUM!?!?!?!?” - JUST ASK A STAFF MEMBER THAT WORKS AT THE MUSEUM OR WALK AROUDN A BIT GIMEM A BREAKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK
Gah I traveled over an hour to be here. I’m stunned 🤣. Geeze. These events lately being overly marketed.
He says now we dont’ need to talk to products as programmers and instead like workign with a person. OMG NOW HE IS 10 minutes over his time. Please get off the stage. Let’s hear from the next guy please.
H said he’s got a product that they’ll launch in 2 weeks. It identifies the capabilities of matching a genetic gap in the protein structure to match with a new drug
Lame! Ew! Pharmaceutical life. Gahhhhh.
I’m annoyed and he just laughed at his own joke.
We’re OMG OMG GOMGOMGOGM GOG a protester is here. In the back with a cardboard paper and it says “stop the mayor. Nazi gestapo pigs. Anti semite Iran Israel.” This grandpa aged man.
WATFF WTF HE JSUT TURNED AROUND AND LEFT HE JSUT WWALKED WAAY!!!! He jsut leftttt and dint even protest hahahahaha hhhhhhhhhh ahhahahhahhahahhaha. Ahhhhhh. Omg I am done. I can’t even believe this. Waht just happened.
Ahhhh hahahah what the heck. He was like, dude, I’m not even going to protest this. How did he get in here? Omg ggggg hahahah ahhhh hahahah waht is this event!?!?/
Omg the Emcee is standing up near him liek - dude. You’re running over time. I’m sure. He’s already 12 minutes over time for his 30 minute talk.
he’s saying you have to make sure AI isn’t just trying to please the user but actually solve things
OMG now he’s showing how it created its own UI on the fly. How to deal with health scare emergencies to find hospital beds. Jeeze. Get me out of here. I want to hear the next speaker and figure out if this next guy has anything of value to offer cause this is insane. He’s just like giving a fucking summary of all these projects. It’s like a family vacation presentaiotn or something. Idk this is insane.
He said he can show how he operated and designs and do research having all the materials he has of interviews.
Omg this couple just stood up and left.
It can tell you high value needs and look at every instance of where pinpoints are. Highlight Horus of content
DUHHH DUH DUHD UDH DUH this is what AI does. Hahah GOD he is saying he does this to get a better understanding of his users - HELLO HOW ASBOUT A BETTER UNDERSTANDIN OF YOUR AUDIENCE.
Omg now the staff hopefully is gonna say like - bBRO YOU ARE 15 MINUTES OVER TIME AND NO ONE IS LEARNING ANSYHTING PLEASE WRAP IT UP.
OMg he’s just going through lots of examples - saying this is the last one that got him in trouble and he laughs to himself. Every joke he made this whole speech no one but him laughed at!! I feel bad for his students. Do tehy learn anything. COLLEGE IS A SCAM hahahah ahhhh
He created this on his now over a week and its walkthroughs to collaborate asynchronously. TO take the video that people post of walthoruhgous of apps and upload them and then make it sharable to provide feedback. As he would for other materials.
Bahhhhb boring boring I’m. Okay. I’m being so repetitive.
Geeze he ssays he wants to make sure they have time for every speaker. BRO you are running 15 minutes over your 30 minutes slot. Did you not know this??? Ugh get me out of here.
This is nothing hands on, nothing building, nothing about agentic Ai. Bahhh omg. He’s talking forever. is everyone else here losing their minds like me? I’m stunned.
He says he leaves us with that and you’ve got a lot to look forward to in the next coming years. Whatever he’s talking about. OMG she says they have time for one question.
- OMG THE LAST HOUR IS FOR QUESTIONS she says again. NO ONE HAS QUESTIONS. Oh one girls has. Ugh I’m so bored times a million.
Lol and this lady asking questions you can’t even hear. She’s the quietest person ever on the mic. This is insane.
This is literally worse than the Open AI event I went to a few days ago. Cause this one promised itself to be building. At least the Open AI event had incredible food and lots of time to brainstorm with stablemates. THIS IS OFFENSIVE.
Now it’s another round of applause.
Okay the next speaker is up for a workshop. Okay - I’m so hopeful this workshop actually is a workshopppp hahahah ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. Please.
The next speaker says we’re going to have fun and look into architecture with a 30 minuet presentation first, then a series of quizzes and then after the quiz we’ll do a demo of agentic AI platform on converse stream. And then we’re going to open up for Q&A and then those of you who want to see it behind date scenes, we can look at the code and database.
Now OpenClaw has the capability of self learning, execution, tools, and communication through different channels. The six feelers of authonomy for an AI agent.
Anyone know the channels? WhatsApp, etc.
We used to be used to ChatGPT which was web, but then we got an app. And now it’s on a few channels.
Those are the channels. Thats how you interact with the user through communication channels. The typical agentic AI supports channels native to the platform. Some other you may configure to add onto it.
Self-learning capabilty, now a’day is standard. Anyone familiar with “skills” anyone familiar? And like everyone nods their head (I have no clue, but it makes me think - these guys are smart and the previous speaker was BS and just said stuff everyone knew) geeze.
The self-learning can reconfigure to give the agent more capabilities. And teh other angle fo self learning is when the agent tries to execute a tool and uses perameters and gets an error from teh platform. Learns, tries another way. IT works.
When you need to use this tool, use these parimiteres. It writes itself like a note.
Then reasoning. Can you name what it is?
They hand the guy in the audience a mic but he is SO hard to understand his accent is insane and I have no idea waht he said but they guys said “that is correct” to what said. SO I guess if you know what “reasoning” is then you understand what he said
It’s that you think through it before hte response.
No this guy in teh audience also has a huge accent and says its “probaobilistic thinking, not really thinking”
He says, yeah, correct, it’s not IQ. Its recursive ways for the model to refine itself.
Dude. This is like 101 / huh?
I literally could self-teach myself this stuff faster/more efficentlythan sitting here.
He’s liek, “and then we have memory. Takes different types of shapes and forms. Short term which basically during tha interaction with AI it keeps a record. Then midterm which creates a summarize context of a session of the conversation. Portion. An then the long-term memory for interactions across different sections.”
Omg.
Self learning is notes the LLM generates fro itself to not make the same mistakes again. Load a block of instructions instead of typing them. Loading from a file.
Then you have “tools” which take different shapes and forms. MCP tools. Function calls. Then the next thing is CLI tools (some guys shake their heads)
The last is orchestration. Probably the one form of agentic that peopel didn’t think about how important it is before. It became extremely important. Everyone here knows the different between probabilistic and deterministic. Pure deterministic. You have to have control over the AI. Picture the mo with a bunch fo ids. You have to keep the kids under control orchestrate who goes where and does waht>. You don’t want an orchestration layer to be subject to “probably” that’s not acceptable.
Okay. I’m ready for this workshop hahahah ahhhh
Okay he said let’s start with orchestration: State Machines and Protections
State logic: maintains the current mode
Controls allowed transitions to prevent erratic loops
Executes entry actions
Core Protections
- Context overflow: trims or summarizes history; forces graceful termination if token limits are breaches
Prompt injection guardrails: strict separation of system instructions. From user content; input sanitization
OMG he asks if someone wants to take a stab at waht something means but this guy with the insane accent answers and it’s literally like he has marbles in his mouth and the volume bounces up and down.
LOL HE GOES, “EXACTLY” when the guy is done talking. Didn’t understand a single word.
“States” are stages the agent will go through. This goes back to the 70’s. When robots were being developed. All developed on state machines. First hte robot is talking and greeting and then it goes into walking mode. That’s another state.
Theres criteria for exiting the state.
Dude. I’m just gonna leave and self study this. It’s liek… this is unreal. The girl sitting next to me stood up and left. This is worse than the OpenAI event I attended a few days ago.
Another guy in the row ahead of me left, and the guy sitting next to him. And another guy!! Ahahah omg four peopel just left.
And then this girl left too!! Another girl just walked out. Liek 5 people in a row. Okay I think I will leave. This is insane I’ve been here over 2 hours and not yet done one moment of workshopping.
He’s talking about NCP servers and CLI and common versions of applications.
Yeah I’m going to pack up and go. I’ll teach myself this. I REALLY REALLY Want to learn this stuff. Like 100%! SO… this is extra motivation. It’s not as easy as it looks - to find someone to teach you this -b ut also teh basics are DUH 101!!!! Geeze. It’s completely worth self-teaching.
