Machine Learning
in 1940 Studied 268 men – still going‌.
but they had no idea until The 1970s to even ask about their relationships or friends
cooperation for survival
Now, Friends are the new family, in cities like Atlanta, Denver, Seattle, DC - 40% of people live alone
You basically have 150 friends
1500 name to face 500 acquaintances 150 casual friends 50 close friends 15 confidants size of neocortex 5 best friends
dictates how many people you can friend
Friends + friends of friends Help you shed lbs Sleep better Stop smoking Survive illness biggest source of stress ½ think of you as friend
Undervalued?
Apps to analyze your personality
Basically everything is knowable It’s just not known to you
algorithmic personality detection in the news and on the trend lists
YOU can be profiled
68 likes is all it takes

Epigenetics - You are more malleable than you think
nutrition Stress maternal care Social experience Exposure to toxins Hormones Age of father
Types of genes sensitive to social regulation Steve Cole from UCLA studied
141 lonely people – 5 years ďƒ Immune response
Bio signaling changing social conditions
Sensors - ugh (I thought we would be further along by now)
Facial expression Body mirroring Voice monitoring
Voice seems most promising

Machine Learning
Numbers are abstract concepts, but We consume pattern intuitively
Consume data - as art in small bites
What is it about friends? We pick them Leave out grievances Demand less Often one dimensional
Easier for unsupervised learning?
Observe the steps that led up to a positive friendship and favor more of those
Reinforcement learning For who is a friend
Machine learning + reinforcement learning w/ latent variables How our friends affect us?
Watch your relationships – alphago for people
