I once had a vivid dream that AI robots had taken over &amp; were keeping humans around because they&#x27;d not yet mastered comedy. All of human culture globally was a comedy arms race with 24&#x2F;7 open mic comedy jams on every corner.<p>They (the machines) had billboards&#x2F;signage everywhere showing the estimated time left for humanity. A really good joke would lead the timer to grow (until they figured out how to produce the general patterns needed to both create and appreciate the joke).

It would be easier to judge this if the jokes weren&#x27;t 90% about AI and silicon valley, understandable only to people who subscribe to astralcodexten
