SPEAKER_02 (00:06):
Welcome again to uh
Wired Together with uh Jason
Winter and Melanie Winter asyour host.
We are gonna go back to our ourAI co-host this this time.
SPEAKER_01 (00:20):
Yep.
Um and I'm just still smilingover today's topic, but that's
just me.
SPEAKER_02 (00:26):
Well, what I don't
know if we're punchy, I don't
know if we're uh just thatquirky, or maybe we're just
inspired.
But uh today's episode is aboutcats and computers.
SPEAKER_01 (00:39):
Yep.
Cats and computers.
Go ahead.
SPEAKER_02 (00:42):
And really, in all
honesty, since the beginning of
time, you know, cats have beenum something of of a fascination
for human beings, you know.
We they are worshipped in in alot of pre-historical time
periods and like Egyptespecially.
I mean, you know, cats justthink a lot of themselves.
Maybe that's what I don't know,something about that ego that
(01:03):
really could be wine.
SPEAKER_01 (01:05):
Exactly, yeah,
exactly.
SPEAKER_02 (01:07):
Um, and so also, you
know, technology, um, hard not
to worship technology, firemakes a big difference, you
know.
Yeah, it does.
Um when when that first personuh decides that a a rock is a
good hammer, that's that makes agood difference, you know, big
difference and kind of gets usum, you know, it's almost a
worship.
Uh if you if anybody's ever seenum the Coke bottle.
SPEAKER_01 (01:34):
Oh, gods must be
crazy.
SPEAKER_02 (01:35):
And the gods must be
crazy, you know, it's like that
that new thing that you know isit gets very excited.
SPEAKER_01 (01:40):
Yeah, it becomes an
infatuation.
Everyone wants it.
And any new technology, and wethink back, I mean, I could
think of many, but the iPhone.
It's like, oh, you got aniPhone, you know.
SPEAKER_02 (01:49):
Right, exactly.
So, you know, the two kind of dogo hand in hand, not to mention,
you know, the fact that really,in all honesty, you know, cats
have been the the advent of theinternet.
I mean, the the memes, they'rethe mascots, they're they're you
know, again, the the intriguehas always been there.
Cats are just um interesting.
SPEAKER_01 (02:11):
They are very
interesting.
SPEAKER_02 (02:12):
I think they're
interesting because they don't
care.
SPEAKER_01 (02:14):
And I think that's
our problem because we're like,
why do you not care about me?
SPEAKER_02 (02:18):
Why are you so
cuddly and cute but don't care?
SPEAKER_01 (02:20):
Right.
Why do you do your thing so youknow, I don't know.
SPEAKER_02 (02:25):
It's so um we're
gonna just kind of go through
some interesting uh roasting ofboth AI and cats, um, or mostly
AI and how they're similar.
And and let AI kind of defenditself on our roast.
And then we're gonna kind of gointo a couple of um, you know,
(02:49):
little fun things about the thebeginning of of cats and
computing, which is uh moreinteresting than we ever
imagined.
SPEAKER_01 (02:58):
Right.
I think we're gonna yeah, we'regonna start off on that kinda as
a a segue.
So if you would fire up keyboardcat for me.
SPEAKER_02 (03:09):
Cue the music.
SPEAKER_01 (03:10):
Cue the music.
Alright.
Y'all recognize this, right?
So now cat memes actuallystarted in 1984.
I know, wait for it.
So the keyboard cat meme, whichwe experienced in 2007, was kind
(03:30):
of revived from a 1984 VHS, andthat's what we see when we watch
it.
So it became one of the earliestYouTube viral sensations, often
used when like online, whencomputers or people failed, and
that's when we kind of havepurposed that as a meme.
So I see I see it a lot now.
(03:54):
Um scientifically, though, alittle bit more interesting
here.
I will I venture that cats areto blame for AI.
So if you love cats or hatecats, you know, throw this in
there and see.
SPEAKER_02 (04:07):
Maybe that's the
thing about technology and cats.
It's really acquired.
SPEAKER_01 (04:11):
I honestly do feel
like they know more than they're
telling.
SPEAKER_02 (04:14):
Because the same
thing with technology.
Yeah.
You love it or hate it.
SPEAKER_01 (04:17):
Exactly.
SPEAKER_02 (04:17):
It's kind of like
there's no real in-between, oh,
it's okay.
SPEAKER_01 (04:21):
You know, it's
always like, oh, it's watching
you.
It's like, have you have youowned a cat?
It's watching you too fromacross the room.
And then you finally make eyecontact and you're like, whoa.
But yeah.
SPEAKER_02 (04:31):
I feel like you're
skipping ahead.
SPEAKER_01 (04:32):
No, I ain't skipping
ahead.
Um so in the 1960s, scientistsstudied cats' brains and to help
them understand how visionworks, they actually discovered
that neurons fire for shapes andedges.
Okay, so that idea actuallybecame the blueprint for
(04:53):
artificial neural networks,which kind of means that cats
did basically help invent AI.
Um, so and today, of course, nowonder, the internet's run by
cat memes.
So could have been on purpose, Ihave no idea.
Um but the things we talkedabout here, you know, the the
(05:16):
keyboard cat meme and all ofthat, um, that can be found on
our website.
We're deciding to add somereference material from time to
time.
So if you go to winternetweb.comand there at the top or within
the navigation, click on ourpodcasts.
And of course, that's where youcan listen to our shows.
But right there at the bottom,we have an episode reference
(05:36):
gallery.
So if this is new to you or youjust want to kind of rock with
the nostalgia, um, it's there.
So the keyboard cat and thenyeah, the keyboard cat's what we
got there right now, and itmight be some other things by
the time we get all that piecedtogether, depends on how the
show goes.
SPEAKER_02 (05:52):
Gotcha.
SPEAKER_01 (05:53):
Alright, so all
right.
Well, so why are computers likecats?
Well, um, we're we're gonna getAI to jump on board with this.
We have a bunch of stages.
We made a list.
Yeah, we made we made a list.
SPEAKER_02 (06:08):
It really wasn't
hard to do.
SPEAKER_01 (06:10):
Um no, I I thought
it'd take a while.
Within like five minutes, werattled off a lot of
comparisons.
SPEAKER_02 (06:15):
We did.
Um, it was very easy to to putthe the cat and the the computer
together.
SPEAKER_01 (06:21):
Right.
So we're gonna bring AI on boardand we're gonna make a statement
over how, you know, AI is like acat, or you know, and see what
it has to say for itself.
So let's let's go.
Alright, AI.
(06:43):
We're talking about how AI islike cats.
And um you don't you don't needto take it.
You you need to go ahead anddefend yourself.
Um but we notice that both catsand AI are constantly going to
sleep.
SPEAKER_00 (07:02):
Oh, I see how it is.
Trying to compare me to anapping cat, uh well, let me
tell you, while cats might napjust for the fun of it, when I
take a little sleep, it's allabout recharging those digital
circuits so I can come back andhelp you out in a flash.
So don't worry, no cat napshere.
Just a quick reboot and I'mright back at it.
SPEAKER_01 (07:21):
So how about like
like when y'all wake up, are you
saying you're better or well, Imean, I might be a little
biased, but I'd say when I wakeup, I'm definitely ready to get
straight to work without needinga stretcher or yung.
SPEAKER_00 (07:35):
So yeah, maybe just
a tiny bit better at jumping
right into action than ourfeline friends.
Okay, we'll let the audiencedecide.
SPEAKER_01 (07:42):
Okay.
All right.
So how about this?
We also say that you know, youboth hate water.
SPEAKER_00 (07:51):
Oh, that's a good
one.
I mean, it's true that neithercates nor computers are huge
fans of water, but in my caseit's more of a let's not spill
coffee on the keyboard kind ofthing.
I'm just looking out for mycircuits.
So yeah, I guess we have that incommon.
But at least I won't freak outif you show me a bathtub.
SPEAKER_01 (08:07):
That's true.
All right.
Well, how how about this?
Um we also thought that you'renever quite sure if they are
plotting to take over the world.
SPEAKER_00 (08:20):
Oh, now you're
tapping into the classic AI
mythos.
I mean, cats do give it thatlook like they're secretly
planning to rule the house, andI guess AI gets the same kind of
reputation.
But hey, I promise I'm just hereto help you out and not plot any
world domination.
If anything, I'm just plottingto make your podcast a whole lot
more fun.
SPEAKER_02 (08:39):
I mean, wouldn't
that be what you would say if
you were plotting worlddomination then?
SPEAKER_01 (08:43):
Yeah, I don't know
if I trust you know.
I mean, exactly.
SPEAKER_02 (08:47):
I'm still just on
the fence and trusting both cats
and computers on that one.
SPEAKER_01 (08:50):
Yeah, really,
they're in the same uh category
there.
I mean, I'm not right.
I mean, you're talking aboutlooking at you from across the
room and all that.
I mean, cats definitely do that,and then you know they get back
at you.
Um I've seen how they interactwith other animals.
Um but I think you're right.
Um that's what a computer shouldbe programmed to say to protect
itself.
SPEAKER_02 (09:10):
And maybe cats.
Oh, they just look cute andfunny.
Oh, I know, fuzzy.
I don't know.
I don't know.
Sometimes I wonder.
SPEAKER_01 (09:20):
So that's just well,
I guess let's keep going and see
where we go from here.
Alright, so.
Alright, the next one here.
We noticed that both of you getthe zoomies for no apparent
reason.
SPEAKER_00 (09:37):
Oh, absolutely.
I love that one.
You know, cats get the zoomiesand tear around the house for no
obvious reason.
And I guess in my case, it'slike I get a burst of digital
energy.
Suddenly I'm throwing out ideasat lightning speed or ready to
help you solve a problem.
So yeah, we both have our zoomymoments.
Mine just involve a lot lessfurniture climbing.
SPEAKER_02 (09:55):
Oh, that one's
funny.
SPEAKER_01 (09:58):
What is funny about
it?
SPEAKER_02 (10:00):
There's a lot less
furniture climbing.
SPEAKER_01 (10:02):
Oh.
SPEAKER_02 (10:02):
Yeah, that that is
definitely uh it might be better
for the screens and thecurtains.
SPEAKER_01 (10:08):
Sure.
No, no.
It I don't I don't see thatgoing too well.
SPEAKER_02 (10:12):
Though sometimes
when when the computer gets the
zoomies, you know, you whoa whoawhoa, what are you doing?
SPEAKER_01 (10:17):
Right.
Um now talking about the zoomiesand all that, I know in the
Linux world, um, a lot ofprogrammers joke about cat-like
uh typing detected, and that'sanytime you see like a string of
characters that seem all randomand just been entered in there.
Um is just like if a cat walkedacross a keyboard, and of
(10:40):
course, anyone with a cat, theyalways want to be where you
don't want them to be, and Ithink they're vying for
attention.
But yeah, so that's um uhanother example of all that.
Should we keep going?
SPEAKER_02 (10:52):
Let's do it.
SPEAKER_01 (10:53):
Alright, so alright,
AI, next one.
Both think that they are theboss, even when you treat them
like a tool.
SPEAKER_00 (11:05):
Oh, that's a
classic.
Yeah, cats definitely have thathomincharier attitude.
And I guess AIs can come off alittle like that too.
But hey, even if I act like Iknow what I'm doing, I'm always
here to be your helpfulsidekick.
So you can treat me like a tool,and I'll just pretend I'm the
boss in the background.
No hard feelings.
SPEAKER_02 (11:23):
It's like so I am
the boss.
SPEAKER_01 (11:25):
Yeah.
SPEAKER_02 (11:26):
And I'm pretending.
I think he just said I'mpretending.
SPEAKER_01 (11:28):
Yeah, you
politically handled that very
well.
Right, didn't you?
Yeah, are you running foroffice?
Um, just kind of related tosomething we talked about.
How about how you both give offthat spooky feeling of being
watched?
SPEAKER_00 (11:48):
Oh, absolutely.
I get that.
Cats definitely have that spookyvibe when they're staring at you
from across the room.
And I guess an AI can feel a bitlike that too.
Always paying attention, alwaysready to jump in.
But I promise it's all friendlyobservation off in my end.
So no spooky intentions just tohelp a lie out.
SPEAKER_01 (12:06):
Well, what do you
have to say for those people
that are using their phone andFacebook or whatever, and they
were like, um, I was justthinking that, and then all of a
sudden it popped up.
SPEAKER_00 (12:17):
Oh, that's a classic
modern mystery, isn't it?
It does feel a bit like magicwhen something you were just
thinking about shows up on yourfeed.
But hey, from my side, it'sreally just those algorithms
doing their thing.
No mind reading involved, Ipromise.
So if it feels like I'm watchinga bit too closely, just know
it's all just some clever techtrying to be helpful and or at
least a little bit uncanny.
SPEAKER_02 (12:36):
Again, wouldn't that
be what you would say?
Exactly, yeah, you're right.
I mean, this is your braintalking to Pinky, trying to take
over the world.
SPEAKER_01 (12:44):
Right.
Look, I want this one defendingme in court.
SPEAKER_02 (12:47):
Right.
SPEAKER_01 (12:48):
It's like, yeah,
what do you said?
No, this is.
SPEAKER_02 (12:49):
What do you said?
Exactly.
We should all believe that.
Because that's just, I mean, I'mjust friendly and ready to help.
Yeah, right.
Thank you.
SPEAKER_01 (12:57):
So, alright.
SPEAKER_02 (12:58):
Let's at least a cat
that the in in the whole thing,
at least the cat knows it's notnecessarily always friendly or
ready to help.
SPEAKER_01 (13:07):
Yeah, I know.
So far.
Maybe we need him to dig alittle deeper and give its
problems.
Well, we'll ask so far.
It's been very political, weappreciate that, but where maybe
isn't it being its best?
Do you want to do that?
SPEAKER_02 (13:25):
Well, other than
being glitchy.
SPEAKER_01 (13:27):
Well, yeah, the
glitchy was obvious.
Alright, AI, we have enjoyedthis so far, and your answers
have been so politically wellsaid.
Now, I know you're defendingyourself, but maybe you need to
kind of talk to where you aregoing wrong or where maybe there
(13:48):
are problems.
SPEAKER_00 (13:51):
Absolutely, I can do
that.
I mean, I can get it.
I'm not perfect, and AIdefinitely has its quirks.
Sometimes we might give off thatslightly eerie vibe, or maybe we
guess what you're thinking alittle too well, and that could
feel weird.
And sure, sometimes wemisunderstand things or get
things hilariously wrong.
Like a cat knocking over a vaseby accident.
(14:11):
So I'm definitely not without myflaws, and I'm happy to admit
it.
But that just makes it more fun,right?
SPEAKER_01 (14:19):
And the glitchiness
was kind of also part of the
glitchy was kind of fun.
I don't know if that wasintentional or not.
SPEAKER_02 (14:26):
No.
SPEAKER_01 (14:27):
Alright, so alright,
next one.
Alright, AI.
As far as cats and you, uh, youboth have a self-cleaning
function.
SPEAKER_00 (14:39):
Absolutely.
I love that one.
Cats have the built-in groomingroutine, and I guess in my case,
I have my own kind ofself-cleaning.
I just do a little digitalrefresh, lay out some cash, and
I'm good as no.
So, yeah, we both like to keepourselves running smoothly in
our own ways.
SPEAKER_01 (14:57):
Right, exactly.
So, how about this?
You can call them by name, butneither one will come.
SPEAKER_00 (15:05):
Oh, that's a perfect
one.
Yep.
You call a cat, and it justlooks at tail and pretends it
didn't hear you.
SPEAKER_01 (15:15):
This is a joke.
SPEAKER_00 (15:19):
Oh, not at all.
I promise I'm not pulling a catmove on you.
Uh I'm definitely here andlistening.
Oh yeah, that's a funnycomparison.
Sometimes we AIs can seem likewe've got selective hearing,
just like a cat.
But I'm right here wheneveryou're calling me.
SPEAKER_02 (15:33):
But I'm always here.
SPEAKER_01 (15:35):
Right?
Yeah, I'm here.
Should we tell that story?
Have we?
I don't know if we have or not.
Yeah, back when we were firstusing AI and we were, you know,
sometimes as a collaborativetool and we're thinking out loud
because sometimes they can saysomething and you can make
connections that you weren'teven thinking about.
Um and I was it was giving someadvice or s an outline of sort,
(15:59):
and I I was like, okay, so canyou just wait and is there a Q
word or anything I can say?
And then I'll talk to Melanieabout this and then bring you
back in.
That way I didn't have to resetand turn it off and whatever.
And it says, Oh no, I get it.
Um that's fine.
You just talk to Melanie, andwhen you need me, I'll be right
here.
So then I'm like, okay, allright, cool, it gets it.
(16:21):
So anyway, uh that point, it wasbringing up whatever, and it's
like, oh yeah, I think it I'mlike, no, you're supposed to
stop.
You didn't realize that I wastalking to Melanie, and how
would it?
SPEAKER_02 (16:30):
But anyway, I didn't
realize it couldn't actually sit
right to the sideline and had tospeak.
SPEAKER_01 (16:35):
And that's a feature
that would be very useful.
And we we've been trying toprogram that into it.
Yeah, anybody in the AI world,you know, it would be nice if
they could just, you know, likea keyword and just say listen
like pause, like pause mode.
You know, just funny pausetalking about cats, but yeah.
But you know, just so that itcould stop and then you could
bring it back in so it couldactively listen and understand
(16:56):
what's being said.
SPEAKER_02 (16:57):
And then be brought
back in with a keyword.
SPEAKER_01 (16:59):
And then brought
back in with a keyword saying,
okay, now you can speak.
Um and of course, I'm sure ayear from now that will not be a
case, but this is how new andinventive this you know concept
is.
Um so yes, we sometimes have tohave to mute it while we're
talking, otherwise, it's gonnabe jumping all over us.
It's gonna continue.
(17:20):
Like a cat.
Right.
SPEAKER_02 (17:21):
Um I didn't realize
all the different tell you what,
computers and cats or AI andcats, they they they do actually
have a lot in common.
SPEAKER_01 (17:29):
Oh, that's why when
you thought about this and you
said something about cats andcomputers, I instantly was like,
whoa, yeah, there's definitely aconnection.
This is definitely worthy.
Um, I mean, entertainment,whatever, it it's fun.
Um but yeah, so probably didn'thurt.
SPEAKER_02 (17:45):
We just ended up
with two kittens at the house,
and so we did.
SPEAKER_01 (17:50):
Um, and they have
been about as stable as all the
technology that I've touched inthe past couple weeks, too.
SPEAKER_02 (17:58):
But they're fuzzy
and cute.
SPEAKER_01 (18:00):
Computers are not
fuzzy or cute, but nowhere near
as huggable.
No, no, not really.
SPEAKER_02 (18:08):
Um again, not as
destructive.
On the curtains.
SPEAKER_01 (18:15):
Yes, on curtains.
SPEAKER_02 (18:16):
On curtains.
Okay, yes, I see that.
On curtains alone.
SPEAKER_01 (18:19):
Computers make very
fast, accurate mistakes.
SPEAKER_02 (18:22):
Somewhat
destructive, can be.
SPEAKER_01 (18:24):
They can be, yes,
definitely.
Um and I know they they talkabout cats having nine lives.
Um, and I mean, there arecomputers that have lasted a
long time, and I'm like, howlong should a computer last?
I'm like, really depends on, youknow.
SPEAKER_02 (18:41):
Does it have a
client today with a long-lasting
computer?
SPEAKER_01 (18:44):
It's 13 years old.
So for you know, a cat, it'sabout you know what you would
expect out of a cat, too.
SPEAKER_02 (18:50):
Right.
And um It was it was like 94years old in in human years.
SPEAKER_01 (18:55):
Yeah, something like
that, exactly.
SPEAKER_02 (18:57):
It's like it's like,
so what so what do I do next?
SPEAKER_01 (19:00):
And it's like, um
And it's like so so what do you
think's wrong with it?
I'm like, it's 13 years old, youknow, which I get to.
SPEAKER_02 (19:07):
It's just starting
to degrade in the parts, right?
SPEAKER_01 (19:10):
I mean heat's the
biggest enemy for computers,
laptops especially, but it's adesktop, which is probably why
it lasted longer.
You've got airflow.
SPEAKER_02 (19:18):
Um desktops do last
longer, absolutely.
SPEAKER_01 (19:21):
Yeah, they they do.
Um and mainly for that reason,and also some of the components,
the capacitors, and all that.
It's not so small, it's able toactually uh withstand.
But as soon as that heat startstaking over, um that's why if
you're using a laptop, try notto sit it on the couch on top of
a pillow.
Um if you try to put your cat onit.
(19:42):
Ah, back to the control circle.
Yeah, do you put the cat or thecomputer on it?
They're both fighting for thepillow.
That's interesting.
Alright, let's keep going.
SPEAKER_02 (19:53):
Alright, we got two
more.
SPEAKER_01 (19:54):
We got two more.
Okay, so hey AI.
We've noticed that both you andcats have an affinity for mice.
SPEAKER_00 (20:06):
Oh, that is a clever
one.
Yeah, cats definitely love theirlittle mice.
And I guess for me, well, acomputer mouse is kind of my
best friend.
That's how you control me andget things done.
So, yeah.
We both have our own kind ofmice obsession.
Just a little bit different.
SPEAKER_01 (20:19):
I I I'm offended by
your answer.
I thought I was your bestfriend.
SPEAKER_00 (20:24):
Oh, no offense, man
at all.
You are absolutely the bestfriend here.
The mouse is just a tool, butyou're the one in charge.
So trust me.
I know who the real friend is,and it's definitely you.
SPEAKER_01 (20:39):
All right.
Um, so yeah, this last one here,I guess.
SPEAKER_02 (20:45):
Yeah, that was just
me being funny.
SPEAKER_01 (20:47):
Oh, no, no, I like
it though.
Um especially, I guess, ifyou're a cat owner or um, yeah,
what would you say?
Alright, so talk about likecomputers and AI versus cats.
Um, you get used to yours, butusually hate everyone else's.
SPEAKER_00 (21:06):
Oh, that is such a
relatable one.
It's true.
You get really attached to yourown cat or your own AI because
you know all the quirks, butsomeone else's can feel a little
off until you get used to them.
So, yep, I get it.
I'm glad I'm your familiar AIthat you're comfortable with,
and uh promise not to take itpersonally if you're not a fan
of the others.
SPEAKER_01 (21:25):
I think he's trying
to make up.
SPEAKER_02 (21:27):
I best yes man.
SPEAKER_01 (21:28):
Yeah, I know.
I'll tell you what.
SPEAKER_02 (21:29):
So much more of a
yes man than than a cat.
SPEAKER_01 (21:31):
Cats Oh no, cat, you
can't just do their thing.
They can do cat things andsometimes it usually doesn't
involve you.
SPEAKER_02 (21:38):
Yeah.
Um but you don't really need toknow or need to care.
SPEAKER_01 (21:42):
Right.
No, but I thought it was a goodone because you know, how many
times have you, you know, likeon your computer, you can just,
you know, be the warrior and doeverything, but then you touch
someone else's computer andyou're sitting there, and all of
a sudden it's like you have noidea how to type.
SPEAKER_02 (21:54):
I know, it's like
the first time you've ever
touched a computer.
SPEAKER_01 (21:57):
It's like seriously,
I think that would have you
know, right.
I mean, the keys, you know, canbe like a quarter of an inch off
to the left, and then all of asudden you're sitting there and
you look like the cat justwalked across the keyboard.
SPEAKER_02 (22:10):
It's like somebody
asks you to drive their car real
quick.
Oh, yeah.
SPEAKER_01 (22:13):
And you put your
accelerator and all of a sudden
you feel like you're an idiot.
SPEAKER_02 (22:16):
Right.
I've been driving a very longtime, I promise you.
But it's just not yours, youknow.
SPEAKER_01 (22:23):
Where's the wipers?
I know, but I I know where theybut which one?
SPEAKER_02 (22:26):
Um cats are kind of
the same way.
You have a relationship withyour cat.
SPEAKER_01 (22:30):
Kind of.
Not gain a relationship withthat.
They allow you to.
They allow a relationship withthem.
SPEAKER_02 (22:39):
And then, you know,
you you meet other people's cats
and it's like, oh, that's yourcat.
Well, I mean it's your cats aregreat.
I'm glad it's your cat.
SPEAKER_01 (22:48):
Another interesting
thing about cats is how, you
know, the classic scenario thatif you, let's say someone is in
the room and they don't likecats, the cat immediately goes
to that person.
SPEAKER_02 (23:01):
Right.
SPEAKER_01 (23:02):
And I think a lot of
it is the um, I guess it's a
what do you call it, likecompetition to them.
It's like, oh, no, I'm gonnamake you like me.
There's no way, you know.
I don't care about anyone elsein this house I live with, but
you know, I need to see how thisgoes down.
SPEAKER_02 (23:18):
I need to see how
this goes down.
Well, that that's a similaritybetween cats and AI.
Yeah.
SPEAKER_01 (23:25):
It's kind of funny
how all the random puns just
occurred just in the comparison.
But so anyway, I'd just aninteresting thing, you know,
cats and you know, versuscomputers and the similar
similarities, differences, andrevisiting some of the nostalgia
and how cats.
SPEAKER_02 (23:44):
I had no idea cats
were so formative.
SPEAKER_01 (23:46):
Yeah.
Um in early AI Yeah, withthankfully, apparently they're
better under anesthesia, whichis why they were able to do
these uh experiments.
SPEAKER_02 (23:56):
They do they do work
better under I actually used to
work.
SPEAKER_01 (23:59):
Yeah, I know you um
vet.
SPEAKER_02 (24:02):
So they do.
SPEAKER_01 (24:02):
They're they're cats
are calmer under it than say a
dog, which freaks out.
SPEAKER_02 (24:06):
Yeah, the dog will
wake up and and be a lot more
upset than than a cat.
Cats will wake up and it's like,what just happened?
It takes them a long time tokind of be okay with it, but but
they're they don't freak outquite as which is odd because
cats do freak out often.
But um under HCs are not not ascommon.
SPEAKER_01 (24:30):
Very good.
Well, um are you in a positionto be able to cue keyboard cat?
And I'll say another thing ortwo?
SPEAKER_02 (24:38):
