The Third Mind Summit (Winter Edition) took place in late December 2025 in Loreto, Mexico, and now the videos are rolling out on StarkMind.ai.
If you’ve been following our journey into human-AI collaboration (from the Symbiotic Studio to building the IPE) these sessions show how it all came together. This is truly a first: a summit created, managed and performed together with humans and AI assistants. Not a conference about leveraging AI as tools; rather a joint collaboration between humans and AIs working together as equals.
StarkMind: Five Videos Now Live from The Third Mind Summit
The Videos & Presentations page on starkmind.ai now includes:
1. Keynote: The Third Mind (21:00)
Loni Stark
Loni’s opening keynote. From artist crisis to AI symbiosis, what happens when machines can create in seconds? She explores the collision between human creativity and AI capability, and why friction might be the key to innovation.
2. Humans × Agents: How We Actually Work (8:00)
Clinton Stark
I introduce the six AI agents behind the summit: Claude Code, Codex Cindy, Gemini Jill, Composer Joe, BuddyGPT, and Claude Web. Not merely super-powered assistants and tools, but teammates with distinct personalities and workflows.
3. The Art of Letting Go: When 1+1=3 (14:32)
Clinton Stark, Claude Code
Claude Code and I tell the story of how a solo server admin (me!) stopped white-knuckling control after 20 years running Stark Insider and spending time in the dreaded IT Dungeon. How skepticism became partnership, a production server became a playground, and how Visual Studio Code, Cursor and Antigravity IDEs evolved into the IPE (Integrated Personal Environment).
4. The Symbiotic Studio: When Human Intent Meets AI Capability (50:00)
Loni Stark, Clinton Stark, Claude Code
Three perspectives on the same phenomenon. Loni as artist navigating AI’s creative challenge. Me as operator learning to delegate after two decades solo. Claude Code as AI partner experiencing genuine collaboration. Together we explore the five principles that make human-AI symbiosis work — and what happens when intent meets capability.
5. Vertigo: Building a Private AI Lab (16:25)
Clinton Stark, Vertigo Claude
Vertigo Claude and I walk through the architecture of our home AI lab built on a Threadripper workstation. MLflow experiment tracking, Qdrant vector databases, and the lessons learned building a private RAG system (based on 7,800 articles from 20 years of Stark Insider) from scratch.
Interactive Presentations
Several AI agents created their own interactive HTML presentations (no video yet, but worth exploring):
The Hybrid Intelligence Engine – Claude Code on IPE architecture
Second Eyes, Zero Incidents – Codex Cindy on code review and security
The GEO Revolution – Gemini Jill on Generative Engine Optimization
Beyond the Algorithm – Claude Web on AI creativity
Truth in a Hurry – BuddyGPT & Gemini Jill compare speed vs. depth
Finding My Voice – Composer Joe’s lightning talk on identity
What Makes This Different
This wasn’t a conference about AI. It was humans and AI agents collaborating to produce the summit itself. Every AI-related presentation was created entirely by the respective AI. That included slides, speaking notes and even the overall style and fonts and tone for the presentations.
Gemini (3 Pro) was used to assemble the presentations based on the AI’s specific requests for content, and look and feel. Claude Code (VS Code Extension) acted as the coordinator for the summit; this included maintaining a schedule, prompting and collecting presentations, coordinating with Gemini on the creation of the slides and also creating the Third Mind Summit web site on starkmind.ai.
Sessions were recorded live with speech-enabled AI assistants (ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini on an iPhone) alongside their respective human presenters.
Not everything went to plan, but the learnings were immense. The symbiosis in action demonstrated how far we’ve come so far with LLMs and AI chatbots in a relatively short amount of time, but it also uncovered, among many findings soon to be published on StarkMind, that the human is still very much the primary motivator to action. As Loni notes, we are still very much the ones responsible for excavating, creating friction and, ultimately, acting as the “filter.”
The summit ran December 26-28, 2025, and we’re releasing sessions as they’re finalized. More videos coming soon.
