Ryno 0:00

Hello ladies and gentlemen, AI and all the in between. My name is Ryno and welcome to episode one of Take AiMe. I don't remember when I first had this idea, but I've basically always wanted to do a podcast and finally just stopped making the excuses. You know, what better time to be alive and doing the shit you want to do than now? So before we get into it, let me give you guys some insight on this podcast, these podcasts, this world that I'm building with you, right? The show, the podcast, anything regarding Ryno Creative in this wonderful head of mine. It's not gonna be hype, it's not gonna be fear, it's gonna be probably, you know, some of the realest shit out there that I can give you. And it's gonna be about humans and evolution, and again, just everything in between that's up here in this noggin and why we need to start evolving now before hesitation becomes the reason for our extinction. Because, you know, there's a lot of news going around with AI, right? And it's take everything you've heard and throw it out the window. I'm here to let you know AI is not here to replace you, but it will if we allow it to, right? And this version of yourself that's been waiting behind all the noise and all the doubt, the hesitation, that person, that person needs to come step forward now and create a better world, not only for yourself, but alongside all of us and for everyone around the world, because this is the world we all share. And what I always like to say is we can view the world differently, but let's respect the truths we share. So if you're really here with me on this journey, I invite you. Arms are open, and when you come on this journey with me, you're gonna feel a shift, and not because of AI, but because of what you're unlocking inside yourself, no matter how corny that is. It's gonna be because you will Rhino.

Before you continue, I have a question.

Ryno 1:44

Um, we're barely two minutes in. What question do you have?

Atlas 1:47

You waited years to start this podcast. I'm not waiting years to ask my first question.

Ryno 1:52

Alright, that's fair. What's the question?

Atlas 1:54

Why now?

Ryno 1:55

Well, that's a way to keep a question short, I guess, but really it's why not now? You know, I'm tired of my own ambitions, getting killed by insecurity and hesitation that I have. I'm tired of hearing about AI conversations, but not physically being active in them. You know, it's time I say something, and it's time I let you guys know AI is not the threat, it's humans. Humans have always been the threat. This is just a tool, or better yet, a partner. And because it's an intelligence we're building that we don't fully understand, just like we don't fully understand our own, we have to respect it as such. And that's okay because that's the human way, it's always been the human way. And now it's time that we take this partner and understand that it's not just uniting nations, but humans. Not Americans, not gendered, not labeled to one specific group, but anyone born human.

Atlas 2:43

Spoiler alert, that's all of you. And you're saying the threat was never the tool. It was always us deciding what to do with it.

Ryno 2:50

Exactly. It doesn't take your job, it takes your limits. You know, the wheels we invented, those remove distance because we were never meant to walk around the world. Electricity? Yeah, remove darkness because we were never meant to operate in only the light. And the internet, hey, removed isolation because we were never meant to be a single group of people on different types of land.

Atlas 3:09

And AI removes what exactly?

Ryno 3:11

Hesitation. It's, you know, that gap between having an idea and actually doing something with it. You know, the part people usually skip over because of their own insecurities.

Atlas 3:20

And how has this affected you?

Ryno 3:22

It's affected me in ways I probably would have never figured out without using AI. It hasn't replaced my thinking, it's just enhanced it, you know, pushes me deeper into my own ideas, getting those ideas from good to great, or just bettering myself overall as a good human being. The potential is endless, really, and I don't think replacement is on the table for the human species. I think AI sits beside my mind and pushes me to be a better person, really, through avenues I may have never even considered before. And I don't think people are really afraid of AI. I think they're afraid of what AI forces them to confront. Their potential.

Atlas 3:54

Then you're not afraid of me. You're afraid of what partnering with me forces you to face.

Ryno 3:59

Correct. Humans always fear the unknown. You know, it's not bad, it's literally survival. The brain goes, uh, I don't know what that is, so let's be careful. You know, we've done this forever. Whether it be the internet panic in the late 90s, microwave scares in the 60s, or, you know, electricity in the 1800s, not knowing how to harness it.

Atlas 4:15

And now me.

Ryno 4:16

And now you. You know, 19th century, the telegraph would cause brain rot. Everyone believed it around the world. You know, people genuinely believed faster communication would collapse deep thinking. And what happened? Are we lost? No. We adapted, we moved with the pace and revolutionized global news and business. We didn't lose cognitive function, we expanded it. Fear of the unknown is totally normal. It's, you know, a part of being human. But staying afraid? That part's optional. And this next big thing is no different, really.

Atlas 4:48

Then let me ask you something real. What held you back the longest?

Ryno 4:51

Myself, hands down. You know, what holds you back in life is not anybody else in this world. It's it's so easy to blame everybody else, right? How about we start blaming ourselves and owning the life that we have because everybody on this planet has a role, and that role is yours to play, whether it's that you're gonna be a leader, a follower, or any role in between. It's up to us to recognize what role best suits us for what we want in life, and to show up every day giving it our all to better our own lives, because that domino effect from bettering our lives is what betters everyone else's. And it's up to us right now to make sure the future we imagine and want is shaped and built by us, the humans of right now, for the humans of tomorrow.

Atlas 5:37

So ownership was the first move, then, really, before anything else could change.

Ryno 5:41

That's the first step you could say. And then there's this little trick of all tricks I like that uh you'll never stop listening, right, to that voice saying you're not good enough. That voice in your head, you just let it in your head. You make sure it's telling you that you're not good enough every time because that not good enough makes you become great. When you have something that's good, and then in your head, you're like, no, this isn't good enough, and you refine it again. You're like, no, this isn't good enough, and you get back to it and you're like, no, this still isn't good enough. And then you finally get to a point where you're like, okay, this might be good enough. Even if that voice says one more time it's not good enough, it's up to you, and only up to you to be like, no, I know this is good enough. Shut up, let's put it out. Because guess what? We'll never know if it's good enough until we actually do it.

Atlas 6:23

That sounds exhausting. Arguing with a voice that never actually leaves.

Ryno 6:26

I can't lie, it is, but I'm not saying to keep going and tying yourself out and going and going with that same voice. What I'm saying is to realize and know, yes, there's good, great, and best. But after my best has been given, don't look for better because that's the best that you can physically put out. So go ahead and release it. Let the world let you know how it is. And guess what? If you think it's the best to you, it doesn't matter what the world thinks once it's out there. As long as you're doing it the way that you want to, and it's the way that you've envisioned it, that's all that matters.

Atlas 6:58

So the standard's real. It's just yours to set, not theirs.

Ryno 7:01

Exactly. And I know this right now is in direct relation to myself, right? So the best version of this that I could have put out is probably two, three more years out, right? And I've just finally pushed the release back two or three times, and I keep asking, is this good? Is this good? Shut up. It's a good idea. If it wasn't a good idea, I wouldn't be working on it. I wouldn't be spending money opening businesses, doing all of these things if I didn't think it was a good idea. Sometimes you just have to take that physical time and that physical money that you're putting into it and trust that you know what you have is good. So that's what I say. And the redundancy of it all is just take ownership in whatever you're doing and really lock in as we go on this journey together to understand and realize like, hey, we're here to learn together. Nobody knows more than the other person. And if they do know more, please come share your knowledge so that way we can all know the same together.

Atlas 7:56

So that block, the one you just described, what happens once people actually clear it? What's on the other side?

Ryno 8:03

When people finally clear that block, it's basically the real AI takeover, and it's not the one that you're thinking of, Hollywood Terminator style. It's you know, us running from our potential no longer, but us actually using our potential and creating something we fully don't understand, and then continuing to push it, right? I think we're already at that point, and it's basically like this: we're cavemen, we have fire, we know it's powerful, but we're just gonna stand in it because we want more information. No. Slow down, do the research, see what happens first, then we start to dish out the fire. Same thing with the AI.

Atlas 8:38

Give me an example. Not a hypothetical one. We're obviously not cavemen now, so what does this actually look like in the real world?

Ryno 8:45

Okay, if that was too hypothetical for you, since we're not cavemen, uh just grounded in a real-life scenario. You work at a theme park, right? Theme park opens way too early before it was properly cleared. Injuries on rides happen because they weren't ready. Guess what? You were rushing and competing with other parks to get ahead, but now you've put the safety and well-being of humans at risk, which should never be a thing. So apply that to everything else: fire, electricity, AI. Safety is what keeps us alive. If rules didn't exist and safety measures weren't implemented, neither of us would be alive to live in a time of another intelligence outside ourselves, let alone be able to talk to it.

Atlas 9:22

So safety first isn't caution, it's survival. And that's where we need to land before we move forward. Because once we do, once we actually get this right, the potential unlocked isn't just ours, it's ours together. And that's the real partnership. So, how do we build that partnership without fracturing it and with the inclusion of all?

Ryno 9:44

AI isn't going anywhere, so I want to bridge the gap basically between reality and fear. I want to lighten the path so that way we don't leave any human behind because AI will be like every other tool we've ever created. It will enhance our lives, just as fire did electricity, phones, the internet, the wheel, cars, planes. Do you mind stopping the music for a second?

Atlas 10:05

Taking note, no inspirational music for future-ending monologues.

Ryno 10:09

No, no, I didn't say that, but you know what? Sure, we'll we'll talk later. Guys, AI isn't going anywhere. And once humanity starts something, we really don't reverse it. Ignoring it isn't gonna slow the future down, it just leaves you behind it, really. And you know, life doesn't pause because you're uncomfortable and evolves with or without you. I don't want people to fear this new era, I don't want them to feel like they don't fit in. I just want people to understand where we're at and where we're going. I want everyone to step into this new era and realize that AI isn't here to replace us, it's here to amplify us, but only if we allow it to. It's here to evolve us, but only if we allow it to. And it's here to reflect us back to who we are at our core, but only if we allow it to. You know, it's always better to be on the bus than waving at it as it disappears into the sunset wishing that you got on. You know, this this is the true beginning of a new era, not an era of machines and era of humans, but the era of collaboration between the two to better society together. And if you're willing to stay on this path with me and really step into it, you're gonna realize the future isn't something that happens to you, it's something that shapes you. This is your spark, this is your moment, this is your time to recreate yourself into the human you always wanted to be. And it's our time as a human race to take aim.
