hat. I love the fact that they can't figure out how. It doesn't seem to you that there's probably a lot of ways they can do it? So what I don't know is is anybody allowed in the room? Can you have anybody in the room? Here's what I think it is now. I'd have to see if there are any barriers or anything like that. But if you see the technology where you can send the sound to one person, have you ev…
← Previous segment →art but I can specify it because do you know I developed the six dimensions of humor. So there's actually a formula that the AI could compare anything to and say oh it fits that formula it's probably humor. And then I could also teach the AI how to create humor because there are only so many forms.
Have you ever watched a stand-up comedian? They use this one form all the time. They'll say for example you know the president of the United States went into the store and doesn't carry any money with him. You know if you're the president or the queen I guess you don't need to carry your wallet. You don't need to carry any money with you. And then they always do the same thing. Imagine if I tried that. Right so they go imagine if I tried that. It's the same joke. They just take something that you've heard of that's in the news or popular and then they say what if that happened to a person who's a different kind of person and then they just describe how that would go wrong and there you are.
You know it would be easy to say. How to add sources. You could teach a nice AI sarcasm so they could recognize a joke and laugh at it. And laugh at it. If your AI laughed at your jokes you would be done with humans forever. You would be. That's if you're looking for the line where an AI is just unambiguously better than people. It'll be the day it can laugh at your joke. And I think it could do that in a year to three and only because of the shortage of people who could teach it what a joke is. If a programmer who is not a professional tried to teach humor to a computer you never do it because they would research it and they'd find you can't research it. There's just too many different ideas about it. And while all of those different ideas have in common except for mine is they're all wrong.
The people who tried to analyze humor were mostly people who do comedy for a living who tend to be not analytical in the usual way. So I think most comedians are not entirely sure why their jokes work. They're just sort of imitating people whose jokes work and that works for them too. Yeah I think it's just mimicry.
You're searching for women who communicate love by touch. So the problem is if you said your language of love is touch what will your wife say immediately? Oh now I've got some leverage. Like that's why marriages don't work. Excuse me. Oh I have something to withhold now. I can get everything I want now. I know how much you like this. I'll withhold this if I don't get what I want. What happened to me? It was called marriage. Yeah I know you're going to deny it. Clean my nails. Wait are you talking about me or was that like a general? Was that general advice? I hope that wasn't about me. My nails are very clean. I have to look at my hand all day, right? If you look at your hand all day you end up clipping your nails a lot.
All right, I will acknowledge that there are many people who say their marriages work. My claim is that they're lying. It's not my claim that the marriage isn't working. My claim is that they're lying. This is why I stay hidden from people. Yeah I guess I should tell you that I've had a complete collapse of trust. Yeah you know you go through the world and there's this great scene from Babylon 5 where the name of the character was a, was a lamb. Yeah a lamb coincidentally. Her name was Delenn and she was a Minbari. Susan Ivanova? Minbari. And somebody in her own planet, another Minbari tried to assassinate her. And she didn't know who tried but when she recovered she asked you know does anybody know who tried to kill me? Now she was the leader of her people and her right-hand assistant said no we don't know who it was but he did know who it was and he knew it was Minbari. And the reason he didn't tell her is because he didn't want to have a leader who didn't trust the Minbari.
And it was one of the best writte

n scenes in all of sci-fi. It's one of the things that really bonded me to that show. I thought good Lord that is such clever complicated writing. I love that. And I had been operating under that for a long time which is an intentional illusion that people are more trustworthy than they are because I didn't know how to live my life with complete cynicism because you couldn't spend any kind of and…
