[laughs]
65:21
Yeah.
65:22
Oh, gosh.
65:22
I mean, I, I feel like I had a good experience.
65:25
I went to training camp, and I remember being so nervous, and just being like, "Oh, I don't know anyone.
65:29
Like, whatever, I'm just gonna walk in." And, um, Annie Elliott actually, and she was with Rachel Siffos-
65:35
Mm-hmm
65:35
... and they were together.

Now let's dive into a Now let's dive into a little bit more about who you are and how you got into digital products.
2:00
Yeah.
2:01
Okay.
2:01
So hi, I'm Kelsey.
2:04
I'm a Minnesota mom of two boys.
2:08
I should start with, I never thought that I would be posting on social media.
2:16
or told me two years ago that I'd be posting on Instagram for money I never, ever, ever would have believed you or building a community or showing up face forward, all of these things.

Siri is artificial intelligence it is AI it's just a different kind of AI but it's it is the same thing it's just you know a different form of it different package like you said
2:01
yeah and i think that's something that honestly makes it difficult to have conversations about ai is because it's an umbrella term that covers such a wide range of things including technology that has been around for for decades but being wrapped up in these these maybe new presentations of it the large language models that are new, like we said earlier, feel like they've all of a sudden popped up in the blink of an eye.
2:33
And somebody might say, well, I hate AI and mean one very specific aspect of it.
2:39
And another person might say, well, AI makes my job 1,000 times easier and mean a completely different aspect of it.
2:46
And so that's why it's important to, as information professionals and just as people who want to be informed, to take the time to try to parse a little bit of what that means.
3:00
But I know that we have so much information about everything all the time.
3:06
Information overload is a very real thing.
EvanHOST
7:00
I think if people come to you, you are a great resource for that and for them.
EvanHOST

I know you mentioned a lot of the vocal booth, the 3D printers, the laser engraver, but I think you have some new stuff that's coming out that, you know, from your department.
8:41
Yes, we do have some exciting stuff coming up.
8:44
One thing that we are working Currently launching kind of as we speak is we revamped some services that we already offered, but really kind of brought it to the next level.
8:55
I was really lucky to be able to work with our IT department automation and get what we're calling our multimedia desk.
9:03
We have a shiny new computer with a nice big screen.
9:07
that has not only the same recording and mixing software that we have here in the vocal booth so that people can continue to work on their projects after they've recorded, but we also have professional grade video and photo editing software there.
9:22
Additionally, we got a new digitizer.
EvanHOST
12:59
Now, is there another thing that's going to be circulating?
