ABOUT JOHN COOGAN:
I am the co-founder of soylent.com and lucy.co, both of which were funded by Y Combinator (Summer 2012 and Winter 2018).
I've been an entrepreneur for the last decade across multiple companies. I've done a lot of work in Silicon Valley, so that's mostly what I talk about. I've raised over 10 rounds of venture capital totaling over $100m in funding.
I work mostly in tech-enabled consumer packaged goods, meaning I use software to make the best products possible

Craigslist makes $650 million a year with 50 employees and a website that looks like it was made in 1997.
I never knew that the Midjourney founder also founded Leap Motion, I still have one of their old Leap Motion units at home as I was fascinated by it during college
Just discovered your channel today. Love the production value and persona, and the way information is displayed. Thank you.
This channel is criminally underrated. Can’t wait for you to blow up like CoffeZilla!
John, this is such an excellent and informative video! Thank you for making this! I've been loving exploring creatively in Midjourney and basically found your video by searching why the program was created. As a graphic designer, it is most definitely helping me deal with the "thinking overwhelms doing" reality I often battle with. It's been surprisingly SO helpful in that regard.
That why you don't want to reject some technical dude
Logically Answered literally just made a video about how tech companies hire people just to prevent them from going to work for competition, its a great watch
Click bait Title he rejected Apple
How do comments like this get any votes. This comment makes no sense.
@@johnrperry5897it’s sarcasm
David seems to be like a far greater personality than anybody else in tech.
no matter what you think, that guy shouldn't have had to even compete, we put years and years to learn to draw, and all of the complexity that comes with it, just for someone to go and generate an image in 20 min and win. so no they shouldn't be allowed to compete. as an individual that dreamed of becoming an artist for the longest time it truly broke me that he won something that he didn't work for.
Nope if you think that creating an AI like that requires no skill then you my man should really stay in your lane.
If I were in your place, I would be like; I'm going to make such bombastic art that even AI generated ones cannot compete with my creations.
Would I be able to do it? I wouldn't know, not unless I tried
@@safiulfaiyaz7038 the hell are you talking about !? what skills besides entering text prompts are you speaking of when it comes to Ai image generators from people who could not even hold a bush correctly to paint a straight line?, please elaborate... and make a strong comparison to art work that takes people years or a life time to learn the technics to produce by hand with not just with paint but in multiple mediums. like the Mona Lisa, Im sure you heard of that work ,please explain to me how much physical skill and talent you needed to exert to come up with a digital equivalent by entering text prompts on discord?
John, what an impeccable job! Loved hearing about one of my favorite geeky dudes in such a casual, friend-to-friend way. Thanks!!
Nice name tho btw.
he invented stealing machine god job.
glad your startup series is back 🔥
7:49 underneath the bite of the apple logo you can see Jacob from Funhaus !
Impressive storytelling, John, subbed!
Anyone else noticed that this released after NFTs crashed and that most NFTs were probably AI generated by a bot like this?
Your content is so interesting and informative, I'm surprised you don't have millions of subscribers.
I think his appearance doesn't reflect edge. His work has lots of edge which is part of why it's so good, but he looks like the least edgy, most clean cut guy, ever. Jake tran when he was still showing his face matched the edginess of his videos in his appearance. James Jani, and the borders guy, all have an edgier appearance that seems to say, "yes this is my work and I'm the sole creator. " even though they probably have a team... it just matches their appearance and personal style.
Great video and entertaining way to tell this story. Thanks for sharing 👍
but midjourney uses, just as with all the image generators, unlicensed stolen data to train their models.
Your so good at what you do. Going to need to watch this more then couple times.
I have started to hate Ai generate artworks more and more, that to me all of the works look so scary
Wow dude! The way you actually present the whole thing, can't resist but watch and listen in awe. Talk about captivating your audience.
It's good to also have a brief description of the video in the video description
Excellent video. I was fascinated when I heard about Leap Motion and it’s emerging tech. I purchased it as soon as the first batch was available. I always wondered what came of that company.
There are a LOT of artists wanting to send anthrax to this guys house lol.
By his own logic it would be fine to shoot him in the face. Holz once argued the artists whose work he used to train his AI have no right to complain. They should never have uploaded their work to internet. According to him, what's on the internet is fair game. This means that if he ever leaves his house, making himself accessible to the public, he should be fair game to all artists, doesn't it?
great docs John really entertaining and interesting
i always wattch out for your videos, they are amazing!!! keep it up the sky is your limit
I really loved the story format you used from this point 5:45 I guess its a better way to get people engaged e.g myself lol
Nice to see something really different. huge fan.
I can't skip his new videos.
Love your videos man such top tier quality
Awesome piece John.
*”David’s dad was a dentist.”*
Hold up….
Great video, just earned my subscription! This was intensely fascinating.
Great content! Good analysis of the business model and the phrase - "Don't think about features, think about how the user learns" should be etched in stone.
Pretty Epic, I leaned a lot, thanks!
Great video John!
Thank you for this informative video John.
This was a great video John,
really 👍
I am obsessed with your videos! I would argue tho that the reason leap motion wasn't successful is because the new proposed user interaction paradigm wasn't as compelling as what was already there. It sounds awesome, but it's not as fast or practical as a mouse/keyboard/voice/touch screen.
It's also because we LIKE to touch things.
You make a great video, and learned a lot, thanks for making this.
Great video John really enjoyed your work
Amazing video, thank you for that. Seems like you and you and your team put a lot of research effort to come up with such detailed explanation
Just discovered your channel. Great stuff. And I adore your voice, you have real talent there!
you should have added the scene from back to the future.
Marty McFly: I guess you guys aren't ready for that, yet. But your kids are gonna love it.
Exceptional content. Bravo!
Loved the video
I really love your videos.
What a compelling way to tell a story!
videos are educating, every part of the video was well explained
Presenter has the "here's what happened next" intensity the whole time.
Wow i have been using Midjourney from the start and I didn't know he was involved with Leap! That little bar was one of the coolest things I've ever used. I miss it.
Heads up John you are always my favourite hey John would make a video about the history of Google would really appreciate ❤
Did you fact check this? MJ v1 was actually trained on an old Stability build. David himself mentioned this.
Speed has improved - I have mine set to use turbo mode, and it's about 5-6s per
My father did back when he was in the C-scroll days where he was in the Gaming industry. It's not the legal gaming type but he was working for some illegal syndicate to earn money to send kids for education in foreign land like Australia and Leeds, UK.
So good. 🔥🔥🔥 Love the "lessons learned" segment.
Early Leap consumer and love it!
Once you have it, you start noticing it in many movies, videos and workplaces.
Great work👍
Hi, I've been watching your videos, and I really enjoy your content. This time, I found it exceptionally interesting to have this information, so I took the liberty of translating it into Spanish. I hope you don't mind-I have no intention of monetizing or anything like that; that's not my intention. I genuinely appreciate all the information you share and the research you put into each video, and my only interest is to share it with more people. :) Once again, thank you for sharing all this valuable information
You can do whatever you want with it if you’re not monetizing it.
I still remember I purchased leap motion sensor when they released first version … I guess 2011? I still have that but it stays in box only … I hardly use it … same I can say for oculus
It is just not comfortable yet specially for people who have glasses .. but yes this are amazing experiences …
Very interesting and well made video!
Some of these technologies are completely useless. What is the point of this tool? I don’t want to see art made by a machine learning tool.
The point is to create effortlessly. You have an idea? It comes alive.
The Midjourney bot does a fairly good job of giving you what you want if you're specific enough with your initial prompt. Using this tool online is great for producing a dynamic range of images that might meet your needs.
It is an incredible tool. Our team is using it more and more for concepting during the production process.
It's also serious copyright infringement. Midjourney is cool and all, but the real winner of future AI generation will be data, and they haven't paid for theirs. There is no chance this company can succeed, because if it does the entertainment industry is over.
I have a Leap Motion device. Bought it soon as it was released. However as we and BMW* soon discovered, air gestures are too tiresome, no matter how cool they look in Minority Report. Had no idea David was behind it. Great and insightful video!
*Some of their cars allow air gestures as part of iDrive.
Quality information and educative at that
Thank you for telling us David's story, it's really inspiring!
Discord sucks the life out of Midjourney. They made a huge mistake by shackling their users to a low rent chat UI that was never designed to cope with the potential of MJ. Now they are between the worlds as they try to extricate themselves from Discord by transferring to a web UI.
It does as well a it’s idiotic rude nerd mods. MJ needs to do 100% better with its support especially for paying customers.
@@albiethecockerspaniel 💯%
/imagine prompt: running a multi million dollar company and being too stingy to hire a professional customer service dept! Total amateur-land.
P!$$e$ me off.
Really impeccable, deep analysys. You are what makes Internet great.
Awesome presentation.
Well done John.
Best youtube channel. I don't tell anybody about this channel.
You should spread good news as you discover it
Excellent video, u have another subscriber, and 👍
David looks like that mad ghost form train
wow john thanks for this
Good video!
Incredibly similar upbringing to Mark Zuckerberg. His dad was also a dentist who needed computers 😄
fantastic video
You do a really great show sir.
as your video plays i am making travel posters and already have a t shirt business that i use midjourney
This was superb
2D and 4D means those betting games. 2-digit and 4-digit.
Dispite the title being slightly misleading, It's defeinitly still interesting!
I remember playing Star Wars Dark Forces on PSX back in the day, fond memories
do wonder dynamics next!
Really really well written! thanks!
David, Destroyer of worlds
David’s quote about water is an advise to Sam Altman and AI Luddites
Excellent overview, is there an application on Android for mid journey
That was a great watch, he’s super smart hey,
pfff! Alan didn't invent the GUI that goes to Douglas Engelbart, inventor of the Mouse as well.
Did not know it was the dude who made leap motion
Discord is the reason I hate using Midjourney
The title should be “he rejected apple twice before “HE” created Midjourney” but it was rather either way
Excellent Video.
I like it.
Nice job bro
Misleading title, he rejected Apple twice not the other way around. David is definitely a smart man with artist tendencies.
Its called clickbait
A bait for a seriously good video!
Are we looking at the same title? Isn't that what it says?
@@thatsalamebro-et8hbI assume John changed the title and tbh someone rejecting Apple intrigues me more than Apple rejecting somebody.
@@jakobmoiirers_jmoii same haha
Excellent video. I've only been a subscriber to your channel for a short while - thank you for the super high quality and engaging content.
Wrt Apple - their inability to innovate and take chances is one of the main reasons Apple is so far behind in ML and the race to create AGI. It can be summarized in one sentence, the fear of failure has paralyzed them.
What is ml what Is agi
ML = Machine learning
AGI = artificial general intelligence (ai that mimic human thinking).
@@lolfelixlol thanks
Apple, Microsoft, IBM, many others... What do tech giants pretty much have in common? As their use of the buzzword "Innovation!" increases, their actual implementation of it decreases proportionally.
@@lolfelixlolAI should not mimic "thinking" ?)))) ML is a subset of AI and also mimic "thinking" . The goal of all these "stuff" is do the same as a human would...
Nice job!
started playing this video on .75x speed and enjoyed it a lot more. Tik tok editing is brutal to sit through for 23 mins.
I would have bought it, but never heard of it obviously not only a market fit issue, it needed integration into another product,
accessibility would have been a great fit
He rejected Apple twice, and ruined art forever
