Oh wait, no, I said laughing twice.
Ah, whatever! Wee Wow on the Weekend!
Wee Wow on the Weekend!
Wee Wow on the Weekend!
Cause this is what we do on the Weekend!
Hello and welcome to Wee Wow on the Weekend!
I'm your host, Dennis!
And that's my co -host, Reggie the Giant...
Reggie, watch where you're flapping your wings!
I know you were just stretching, but you hit me in my gorgeous gorgeous face Your feathers do smell nice though What kind of bird shampoo do you use?
Ooh, dove, fancy Wait, this gives me an idea for an amazing new segment No, not a hair and feather washing segment An exercise segment Reggie, I'm amazing at exercise Let's go Get off the couch and work those buns Exercise time for everyone's working out Okay, Reggie, on your feet Reggie, stand up Because
you're the one who wanted to stretch Now, up, up, up, up, up, up, up There we go Let me just put on some cool workout tunes And let's get moving Reach down, touch your toes Yeah, reach down, touch your toes.
Reach down, touch your toes.
Toesy, woesy, woes.
Now make your elbows kiss.
Make your elbows kiss.
Now make your elbows...
Ow! Ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow!
Meggie, my elbows kissed right on the funny bone.
Ah, ah, nobody make your elbows kiss.
It's a bad exercise.
Yeah, I'm gonna cross it off my exercise idea list real quick.
And also this idea where you kick yourself in the face.
Well, it seemed like a good idea at the time, Reggie.
Fine, let's move on and do a little Q &A segment.
The Q &A segment. All right, let's just get the old answering machine pulled up here.
Okay, here we go. Hi, you've reached Dennis from We Wow on the Weekend.
That's me. Do you have a question?
Well, I do too. Lots of them!
And who's going to answer all my questions?
You? Probably not, but I guess I can answer yours.
Leave me a message.
Hey, Dennis. I'm Moshe from Tom's River, New Jersey.
Hi, Moshe. What's going on?
I want to know, what's your favorite milkshake flavor?
Mine's ketchup. Ketchup?
Moshe, you put ketchup in your milkshakes?
Reggie, is it good?
Have you had a ketchup milkshake before?
Well, me neither. We should try it right now.
I know we just started the Q &A segment, but I want to do a cooking segment now.
Let's change gears.
Hurray, cooking segment.
Dish it up on a dish.
Anything that you wish.
Take a bite. That's delish.
Dishing it up with d"...
That drawer over there.
No, not that one. The one with the rubber bands and the dead batteries.
Yeah, grab all those ketchup packets and bring them over here.
Okay, now we need milk.
Milk, milk, milk. Oh, I have half a bowl of apple cinnamon cereal here.
Let me just, uh... Finish the cereal.
It will be fine, Reggie.
Warm apple cinnamon cereal flavored milk will be so good with ketchup.
I'm sure of it. Okay.
Adding the ketchup packets to the milk.
There we go. And then what else do we need for a milkshake?
Just shake it? Are you sure?
Okay, here we go. And...
Shake, shake, shake, shake, shake!
Ah, Reggie! Look what you did!
Well, you told me to shake it!
In a blender? Reggie!
Now our milkshake is everywhere!
wear. It's all over my hair and my face.
Well, that's not bad.
No, I'm lying. It's horrible.
Let's just move on.
Okay. Next up is a little segment I like to call Inside Tinkercast Studios.
Inside Tinkercast Studios.
This is the part where we revisit an episode of one of my favorite at Tinkercast shows and today we're listening to Wow In The World season 2 episode 15 called Smart Bots yeah we really could have used a smart bot just a second ago but say lovey okay here we go and play we wow will be right back grown
-ups this message is for you that's it now back to the show Welcome to RoboHoHoHo, the premier robotic comedy club.
Now is the time to activate applause servos and execute welcome protocol for the human Mindy.
Thank you, thank you.
Hi, everyone. Can you hear me?
Affirmative. Hang on.
Whoa, whoa. Hi, Mike.
Okay, great. Well, it's great to be here at the robo -ho -ho -ho.
How are we all doing tonight?
Okay. All right, tough crowd.
Okay, you bots ready to laugh or, I don't know, process some auditory humor?
Affirmative. Anticipation sensors running at 12%.
Okay, alright, how about a joke?
Um, why was the robot angry?
Processing. Huh? Punchline unknown.
Because the programmer kept pushing his buttons.
After the computer, the sensors detect terrible joke.
Okay, alright, well there's more where that came from.
Um, um, why did the robot go back to school?
To collect valuable information.
Because he was a little rusty.
Not for me. Rust requires lubrication.
You get it? Please contact your system administrator.
Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
I got another one. You're gonna like this one.
I promise you. Um, uh, what do you call a pirate droid?
My mother was a pirate droid.
R2 -D2 It's not good Yeah?
No? Come on! Uh, Mindy?
Are you okay? I could hear you from all the way over at my house Yeah, I'm fine, Gairaz I was just drawing out some new robo -humor in my head and needless to say, it was not going well Robo -humor?
Yeah, you want to see?
I'm okay No, really, let me just pop the top of my head here No, no, Mindy, stop.
You know, it freaks me out when you do that.
Got it open. No, I'm just going to bend down here so you can take a quick peek from the top.
Uh, okay. Let me just see here.
Are those scrambled eggs?
What? No. They're poached.
Uh. Look what's happening.
Okay, please close it up.
I can't take it anymore.
Phew. You were right, Mindy.
Things looked pretty rough in there.
Yeah, I know, right?
Nobody's laughing at my jokes.
Maybe I need to work on my timing or get a new audience.
Well, why were you trying out your computational comedy anyway?
Well, I was inspired by these researchers at the University of Edinburgh in Scotland.
They actually created a robot that can tell jokes.
Wow, well, if that robot comedian is so funny, why don't you tell me one of its jokes?
Okay, but you better hold on to your humorous for this one.
Uh, you do know the humorous bone has nothing to do with...
Okay, so here's one that the robo -comedian told.
You ready? How do you stop a baby astronaut from crying?
You rock it! You get it?
You rock it? You rock it like a baby?
Yeah, yeah. Not bad, huh?
Yeah, that wasn't really that funny.
Okay, so maybe the robo -comedian humor bot might not know how to knock jokes out of the park like I can, but it's still like 16 % funny.
16 % funny? Mindy, what are you talking about?
How do you put a percentage on funny?
Okay, well, so those same scientists at the University of Edinburgh, they were able to quantify or measure just how funny this robo -comedian humor bot was.
And then they compared it to real, live human comedians.
But how were they able to measure the different levels of funny?
Yeah, so these researchers took 50 jokes, some written by human comedians and some written by the robo -comedian humor bot.
and then they asked people in the audience to judge whether the jokes were funny or not.
And of the human jokes, 33%, or about one -third of them, were considered funny, whereas the robo -comedian HumorBots jokes were only considered funny about 16 % of the time.
So basically, you could say that the robot was about half as funny as a human.
That's pretty interesting, Mindy, and you know, a prime example of artificial intelligence.
Yeah, artificial intelligence You know, I keep hearing that term everywhere I go But I don't know exactly what it means I mean, is it like fake cheese but for your brain?
Well, I'm not entirely sure But as far as I understand, Mindy Artificial intelligence is an area of computer science That tries to make machines smarter And in fact, we're surrounded in our everyday lives By examples of artificial intelligence Really?
Like what? Well, let's see, uh, oh, here, here, my phone Your phone?
Modern day smartphones are packed full of artificial intelligence, like Aha, see this, Mindy?
This is the last time I used my GPS And it was able to check the traffic in my neighborhood And tell me the fastest way to get to my favorite kombucha bar Wait, you have a favorite kombucha bar?
How many do you visit?
Let's see what else we got here Oh, okay, this app, Mindy, this is an app that I use to translate my voice into another language Wow in the world Où est -on le monde?
These two things on my phone are both examples of artificial intelligence I don't know, Guy Raz, my GPS once led me into the middle of a cake at a one -year -old's birthday party So I don't know if I really trust its intelligence Well, this kind of artificial intelligence is known as narrow AI.
And that basically means that it's pretty good at performing one specific task.
So like translating words or navigating directions.
Exactly. And what scientists are trying to do is to create an artificial intelligence that's good at performing lots of different tasks.
Just like a human can.
And that sort of artificial intelligence is called general AI, or strong AI.
AI. Artificial intelligence.
Okay, but for the meantime, I guess we're going to have to settle with robots that can track our pizzas and beat us at chess.
Beat us at chess? Oh yeah, in fact, follow me, Gairaz.
I've got to show you something.
This is going to blow your mind.
Mindy, where are we going?
To the archives! Do you have an archive in your gingerbread house?
Uh, gingerbread mansion Just added an indoor marshmallow pit Oh, right Anywho, I have to show you something Let me just get the door to my library here Woah, you've got even more books than the last time I was in here Wait, is that an entire shelf of...
Mindy, why do you have all my baby photo albums?
Okay, now I just need to remember which book to pull so we can open the secret door.
Secret door? No, it's not that one.
No, that's not it. Oh, here it is.
How do you know? Oh, because it says it right here in the title.
See? Uh. This book opens the secret door by Dr.
Pull Here. What? Go ahead.
Pull the book. See what happens.
Whoa. Okay, now where did I put it?
It might be in this filing cabinet.
Man, why are there cats in all my stuff?
Okay, um, Guy Raz, will you hold these cats?
Okay, now let me see here.
What do we have? Newspaper archives.
Yes, okay, let me see here.
Giant mysterious pigeon spotted over Washington.
Nope. Um, microbial humanoid life perplexes scientists.
No, it's not that either.
Oh, here it is! Deep Blue -crowned World Chess Champion 1997.
That's it. Deep Blue?
That's an odd name.
Yeah, well, if you think that's odd, you might want to consider the fact that this chess grandmaster weighed 1 .5 tons.
1 .5 tons? That's as heavy as a hippopotamus.
Also became a world champion at just 4 years old.
4 years old?! And is so big that it takes up an entire room in downtown New York City.
Wait a second, Mindy.
Are you talking about a computer?
Winner, winner, chicken dinner.
You know I am, Guy Raz.
Deep Blue is the name of the artificially intelligent robot that beat world chess champion Gary Kasparov in 1997.
Oh, I remember now, Mindy.
Gary Kasparov originally beat the Deep Blue robot the year before in 1996.
Yep, and after that crushing defeat, the scientists from IBM, you know, the company that built Deep Blue, they went away and came back 15 months later with a smarter, sharper chess -playing mastermind.
Wait, check it out, Mindy.
It says here that the rematch lasted more than a week, and in the end, Deep Blue emerged the winner, becoming the first artificial intelligence to beat a grandmaster at chess.
Exactoritos, Guy Raz, but artificial intelligence, or AI, has been crushing us at all kinds of board games ever since then.
Like which ones? Well, for one, the game I'm thinking of is over 2 ,500 years old, making it the oldest board game in the world.
Uh -huh. It's played on a 19 -by -19 grid board.
Okay. And it's played by more than 40 million people across Asia.
Oh, I think I've got it.
You're talking about the ancient Chinese board game Go.
You know it, Kyra. You know, I remember reading about that in the newspaper.
Move over here, move over, Mindy There's not enough room Okay, let me see here I wish there was some sort of artificial intelligence system That could help search through all this information Sorry, what were you saying, Mindy?
Like some sort of a research engine?
I don't know No, I...
Oh, wait, I... No, I...
Oh, wait, wait, here it is Artificial intelligence AlphaGo beats the reigning world GO!
Champion Lee Sedol in an epic seven -day match.
Yes, that's one of my favorite intelligence smackdowns in all of history.
And guess what, Gairoz?
What? I just so happen to have the hottest tickets in town.
What are you talking about, Mindy?
The match, Gairoz. I've been saving these for a while.
Here, check them out.
Alpha Go versus Lee Seadol?
Brain versus Bit? Mindy, I think we might be a little bit late for this match These tickets say the game was on March 15, 2016 Welp, it's a good thing we've got a mostly functional time machine Oh no Oh yes Oh, Mindy, the seats were so sticky the last time we rode in it It took you an hour just to pull
me out I can do it What was that anyway?
Oh, that was just the runoff maple syrup Maple?
What? Don't worry about it, Guy Raz What you should know is that the time machine just got a new makeover And it is looking awesome I'm talking new flame decals from the front to the back Oh man, just wait until you see it Come on, hop on my back what okay let me just open the garage door here and so um
nice weather we're having huh uh it's just uh it's just gonna take another few minutes to open wow you know mindy you may need to oil those tracks on that garage door ah there we go.
Whoa! Whoa! I have to admit, Mindy, I was a little skeptical, but those are some cool -looking decals.
I know, right? You can thank Reggie for those.
He actually designed them.
Reggie designed those?
Yeah, apparently he used to own his own design firm in Pasadena.
Huh, who would have guessed?
Now, just to open the hatch...
Still gets jammed up, huh?
Yeah, maybe I should have spent some of that decal money on fixing these hinges.
There we go. After you, Gairoz.
If you insist. Sorry, sorry.
We gotta stop for a sec.
Because I need a snack, that's why.
Sure, I'll get you some crackers or something.
Reggie, no, don't press play.
I'll be right back.
I'm back! Reggie, want a cracker?
Here you go, and one for Dennis!
Ready to finish the episode?
Okay, great, let's do it.
Here, we, finish the episode?
Okay, great, let's do it.
Here, we, go! Yep, still smells the same Uh, am I smelling blooming onions and maple syrup?
Oh, yeah, long story, but my lunch exploded in here yesterday I'd better clean this up Okay, now we've just got to punch in the time coordinates Um, what does the ticket there say?
It says March 15th, 2016 March 15, 2016.
All right, that should do the trick.
Ooh, I thought I was going to take off on a wall.
A lot of turbulence through that time -space continuum, but I think this must be the place.
Looks like we made it, Guy Raz.
Guy Raz? Oh, boy. Guy Raz?
All right, little buddy.
Come on, you're just going to have to shake it off.
Come on, shake it off.
Whew. Okay. Well, I'm just going to open up the hatch here and...
Wow! Looks like we made it to the stadium just in time.
The GO! championship is just about to start!
Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome to the stage the South Korean sensation, the strong stone, the current reigning Go World Champion, Lee Sedon!
Quick, come on. Hurry up, Guy Raz.
We don't want to be late.
Well, I mean, if we have to travel back in time two years to experience something, well then, I mean, technically, we're already late.
Oh, come on. They're taking tickets over there.
Well, hold on one sec, Mindy, because all that time travel made me really hungry.
Can we hit up the concession stand before we go in?
Garaz, there's no time for snacks!
The championship is about to start.
But they're selling kelp noodle cones, my favorite.
Oh, there's our row.
Um, excuse me, excuse me, coming through.
Oops, sorry, watch your legs.
Made it. And now please welcome tonight's contender, all the way from the United Kingdom, the computational commando, the processing powerhouse, AlphaGo!
Yes, here they go! Mindy, how long do these games usually last?
I don't know, like a few hours or so?
So Mindy, if a computer was able to beat a human being at chess in 1997 How come it took another 20 years for scientists to build a computer That can beat a human grandmaster at Go Well, there's just a lot of stuff for the computer to compute I mean, in a normal chess game, there are usually 32 different
moves you can make on your turn.
So if you wanted to look ahead three moves, you times 32 by 32 by 32, which would leave you with 32 ,768 possible outcomes.
Or 32 ,768 different ways to play those three moves.
She must have a calculator in her brain.
Anywho, with Go, there aren't 32 moves you can play with each turn Huh There are up to 250 possible moves you can play on each turn Wow Which means that there would be over 15 million different outcomes If you wanted to look just three moves into the future Which I suppose might be a little bit difficult
Even for a computer Right?
So AlphaGo was able to look a few moves ahead but not nearly as far ahead as it was able to in chess.
So the scientists at DeepMind, which is the computer company that invented AlphaGo, had to come up with a different technique for beating a grandmaster.
So what did they do?
They taught it to play itself.
They taught it to play itself?
Yep. The computer scientists programmed AlphaGo to play millions and millions of games against itself.
And each time it would figure out what worked, what didn't work, and then put those techniques to work in the next match.
Ah, of course, because in computer science, the process of having machines learn from trial and error is called deep learning.
But to the rest of us, it's just called practice makes perfect.
So what happened? Well.
And I think this is it.
Here comes Alpha Go with what will surely be the final blow.
I can't watch, I can't watch, I can't watch it, I can't watch it, I can't watch it.
That's it. I'm pulling your plug.
Ouch! Guy Raz, the next time that happens, I'm going to reboot you.
What? Oh, shh, shh.
And there we have it, ladies and gentlemen.
The all -new, all -artificial Go Grand Master!
Oh, man, what a match!
One for the ages. Okay, well, I hate to cut the fun short, but we gotta get out of here, Guy Raz.
We've got to beat the crowd looking at my watch here.
I think the parking meters about to run out on our time machine Made it.
Here are the keys just open the hatch So much grunting for one day.
We have to fix this hatch, Mindy.
Yeah. Wait a second.
Why is it so slippery?
Did you put fair trade palm oil on this?
Oh, yeah. I smeared it all over the time machine because I thought, I don't know, maybe it would help us to slip through the time space continuum a little bit more easily.
I mean, you know how it is.
Uh, sure. Ah, there we go.
Hop on side, Guy Raz.
Next stop. present day.
You sure those are the right buttons, Mindy?
Yes, of course I'm not sure these are the right buttons, Gyros.
Now hold on tight because here we go!
Ah, made it. I have to say, Mindy, that fair trade palm oil really does the trick.
I know, What'd I tell ya?
Wait, that was weird.
What's weird, Mindy?
Um, I'm just gonna step out of this time machine, but I want you to stay really close by.
Okay, cross your fingers.
Whoa. Where are we, Mindy?
When are we? Um, well, I don't know.
You don't know? Maybe some of that slippery palm oil got into the control panel and it went too far.
I don't know, Gairaz.
Well, it certainly doesn't look like North America in present day.
Mindy, I think we might be in Japan in...
In what? What year could it be?
Oh, hey, look, a newspaper stand.
Let's see here. 2020.
2020? Oh, see, I didn't overshoot by that much.
Oh, Mindy, what are we going to do?
How are we going to get back?
Why don't we just chillax, Gairaz?
I mean, the time machine still has plenty of syrup to run on.
It could totally get us back home.
But in the meantime, let's just take a break.
See the sights of future Japan.
I mean, just think about it.
We could go watch a robo -robo sumo match or take a jetpack tour of the city.
Maybe visit one of those restaurants where your food is delivered by a levitating train.
I mean, how often do we get to be stuck in the future?
Yeah, that's not such a bad idea, you know.
In fact, I've always wanted to visit one of those bonsai gardens, you know, those tiny little trees that they grow in some Asian countries.
Yeah, I know what bonsai trees are.
But, Guy Raz, we're in future Japan.
Let's do future stuff.
I mean, bonsai trees are old enough to be our great, great, great, great, great, great grandplants.
Uh... I mean, is that really how you want to spend our time here?
Well, yeah. Okay, we'll do it.
But, remember, when we get back to the present day, you have to let me push you through the grocery store in a shopping cart while you wave to the other shoppers pretending like you're on a parade float.
Whoa. Now let me just hail us a hover cab.
Ooh la la, that was quick.
This must be one really reliable driver.
Uh, Mindy. Now go ahead and hop inside, Guy Raz.
I'm so excited. I've never met a real hover cab driver from the future before.
I've never met anyone from the future before.
Mindy, I really think that...
Um, konnichiwa, sir.
We would like to go to the bonsai gardens, please.
Mindy, look! What? Where's the driver, Guy Ross?
There is no driver.
I've been trying to tell you that.
Well, something is driving this thing.
This must be an autonomous vehicle.
An autonomous vehicle?
A self -driving car!
Well, welcome to the future Well, actually, Mindy, this sort of research into self -driving cars has been going on for several years now Yeah, that's what I thought, but But what we're seeing right here in the future is how much these cars will change the way we get around Wait, so self -driving cars
already exist in the present day?
Well, yeah, and in fact, companies like Google and Tesla all have research projects to build the very first fully autonomous self -driving car So, without a driver, how exactly do these cars work?
Well, they use a bunch of scientific equipment like radars and lasers and GPS and even video to sense all of the things around it Oh, and then the artificially intelligent part of the car just takes all of that information and figures out how to get from one place to another without bashing into buildings,
people, and other cars.
Exactly, Mundo. And the cab that we're traveling in right now was developed by a Japanese company called RoboTaxi, which is actually sending out a whole fleet of self -driving taxis around the city of Tokyo for the 2020 Olympic Games.
Whoa, the 2020 Olympic Games are getting self -driving taxis?
Yes, yes, and some of the most brilliant scientific minds in the world are predicting that these self -driving cars are going to completely change how we travel.
Well, in what ways?
Well, for starters, self -driving cars will be much safer than normal cars because they're able to see so much further than our own human eyes can see.
And also, Mindy, they can see in all different directions at the same time.
Man, talk about having eyes in the back of your head, right?
Bet they're able to drive a lot safer than most humans do.
Well, that's the idea.
Like, this autonomous vehicle we're sitting in, which reminds me, Mindy, we should - It can talk?
Hi, Roz. Maybe it can process humor, too.
Um, hey, RoboTaxi! What?
You wanna hear a joke?
Sure. Oh, no. Okay, I think you're really gonna like this one.
Uh. What do you get when you cross a robot and a tractor?
What do you get? A Transformer!
Really? Nothing? He's not laughing.
It's not funny. Okay, well there's a lot more where that came from.
Okay, let me try one.
Oh boy. What is Soda Pop's favorite ac -zical activity?
Oh my, now that was funny.
Ha ha ha ha. Phizz.
Get it? As in CO2. Physical activity?
Good one. Gy -raz. Well, maybe it's time for scientists to stop working so hard on self -driving robots and instead invent some self -laughing ones.
Maybe we just need to go back to the present day, Gairaz, and work on our jokes.
Well... Um, excuse me, self -driving robo -car?
What? Why don't you, uh, hang a Yui and skip the bonsai gardens?
I think we're ready to go back home.
10 -4 Mindy. Here we go.
Whoa! Wow! That was so cool!
Computer programs that can play games like chess and go!
Do you think the computer could play my favorite games?
Well, I like Settlers of Cadenas and Dennisopoly and guess who?
It's Dennis! Reggie, those are real games!
I just taped pictures of myself to all the boxes and pieces.
Well, let's finish the show and then we can go upstairs and play one.
