Lets talk thru 7 things‌ Know @ people

Stuff that’s getting Better

Lets talk thru 7 things‌ Know @ people

Sociology Friends

Personality detection

Social Media

Stuff that’s getting Better

epigenetics

Sensors

Consume Data

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

Facebook is an ai - you are the trainer

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

Friends will be like nutrition

we'll understand them in the way we know what makes up a balanced meal.
