[00:00] | Previously, on “The Girlfriend Experience”… | |
[00:02] | [recruiter] Your academic credentials are impressive: | |
[00:05] | Behavioral psychology, | |
[00:07] | neuroscience. | |
[00:09] | Then what happened? | |
[00:11] | [Iris] Like I said, I’m ready for a change. | |
[00:15] | [Jeakins] You got headhunted. | |
[00:18] | [Iris] It’s a tech start-up in London. | |
[00:21] | There’s one thing we dislike here at NGM, | |
[00:24] | and that is predetermined outcomes. | |
[00:27] | I am training the neural net to match faces. | |
[00:29] | What inputs are you using? | |
[00:31] | Why choose that over finishing your degree | |
[00:34] | at one of the best schools in the country? | |
[00:37] | Dad will manage. | |
[00:38] | Rule number one… | |
[00:41] | is look the part. | |
[00:42] | [dramatic music plays] | |
[00:44] | [recruiter] Why did you come to us? | |
[00:46] | Why the V? | |
[00:47] | [Iris] I’m ready to have a real exchange | |
[00:49] | with the men I sleep with. | |
[00:50] | [♪] | |
[00:53] | Do it. | |
[00:55] | Paul. Session one. | |
[01:03] | [♪] | |
[01:08] | [man] You all came here | |
[01:11] | for a reason. | |
[01:13] | [♪] | |
[01:17] | Something happened to you in childhood, | |
[01:20] | later in life that formed you… | |
[01:24] | [♪] | |
[01:26] | …that shook the very foundations | |
[01:29] | of the world you thought you were inhabiting. | |
[01:32] | [♪] | |
[01:34] | Perhaps that world was your own conscious mind | |
[01:37] | and the assumptions | |
[01:39] | of who you thought you were, | |
[01:43] | could no longer be sustained. | |
[01:45] | [♪] | |
[01:49] | You are all different. | |
[01:53] | You all made choices. | |
[01:56] | These choices have led you here. | |
[02:02] | And I look at you, and I fucking love what I see. | |
[02:05] | [laughs] | |
[02:08] | So, take a day. | |
[02:11] | Go boating. | |
[02:13] | Volunteer at an animal shelter. | |
[02:16] | Tell a stranger they have the most beautiful eyes | |
[02:19] | you’ve ever seen. | |
[02:21] | Take a week if you must. | |
[02:23] | Just come back | |
[02:26] | with something undeniable, | |
[02:29] | a shift in perspective, | |
[02:31] | a bridge between two conflicting principles. | |
[02:36] | Aim far. | |
[02:40] | It bears repeating: | |
[02:41] | If you do need bigger or badder inputs, | |
[02:44] | come talk to us. | |
[02:46] | We’ll find solutions. | |
[02:51] | Don’t let your imagination be limited | |
[02:53] | by what’s available. | |
[02:56] | Data is data is data. | |
[02:59] | It’s a… a window waiting to be opened. | |
[03:03] | But we are all here because of what happens | |
[03:08] | afterwards. | |
[03:10] | [♪] | |
[03:13] | Very good. | |
[03:16] | And tell your pals out there, | |
[03:19] | “Fuck minimum basic income.” | |
[03:23] | Do we really trust them to figure it out? | |
[03:28] | Not for this generation. | |
[03:32] | Okay, I’m gonna leave you with a question. | |
[03:35] | What makes us… | |
[03:38] | I don’t mean us here. | |
[03:43] | I’m talking general, out there, | |
[03:46] | Homo digitalis. | |
[03:51] | What makes us get up in the morning? | |
[03:54] | [♪] | |
[04:06] | [soft indistinct chatter] | |
[04:15] | Hey. | |
[04:17] | Does he always talk like that? | |
[04:19] | It’s just his brain food kicking in. | |
[04:21] | Edibles? | |
[04:22] | Nootropics, microdosing or whatever. | |
[04:25] | Is that a thing here? | |
[04:27] | Some of the engineers, I guess. | |
[04:28] | You’ll see. | |
[04:30] | Won’t take you long to figure it out. | |
[04:31] | That’d be sloppy hiring if it did. | |
[04:33] | Right, just started. | |
[04:37] | The cool kids are going to the pub tonight, | |
[04:39] | for shots and beer pong. | |
[04:41] | – Beer pong? – Mm-hmm. | |
[04:43] | Once a month, baptize the newbies. | |
[04:45] | [Iris] Uh, I can’t tonight. | |
[04:48] | Next time. | |
[04:50] | [Iris] Sounds good. | |
[04:52] | [♪] | |
[04:58] | [lock clicks] | |
[05:00] | [footsteps tapping] | |
[05:03] | [line ringing] | |
[05:06] | [♪] | |
[05:16] | [booker over phone] Who do I have the pleasure | |
[05:17] | of speaking with? | |
[05:19] | [Iris] Hi. This is Iris. | |
[05:22] | [booker] Welcome to the V. | |
[05:23] | I’m your booker. | |
[05:25] | You can call me Zelda. | |
[05:27] | What name should I call you by? | |
[05:28] | Um… | |
[05:30] | [Zelda] How about Angel or Violet? | |
[05:33] | As long as it’s not your name in reverse. | |
[05:35] | I was thinking maybe Cassandra. | |
[05:40] | [Zelda] How about Cassie or Callie? | |
[05:42] | What’s wrong with Cassandra? | |
[05:44] | [Zelda] I like it, but the clients may not. | |
[05:47] | They want to feel like themselves around you. | |
[05:50] | Cassandra doesn’t sound like you’re an actual person. | |
[05:52] | [Iris] Makes sense. | |
[05:54] | [Zelda] You’re worried the occasional sapio | |
[05:56] | will be ticked off by Cassie? | |
[05:58] | Uh, no, Cassie’s fine. | |
[06:01] | Let’s do that. | |
[06:04] | [Zelda] Congratulations, by the way. | |
[06:05] | Paul posted his review. | |
[06:07] | Ten out of ten. | |
[06:08] | Did he? | |
[06:11] | [Zelda] “Unexpected in the best of ways” | |
[06:13] | and “ignitable,” | |
[06:15] | his words. | |
[06:18] | I assume you’ll want to keep him as a client. | |
[06:20] | I do, but, um, | |
[06:22] | he’s a submissive, | |
[06:23] | which I’m generally not into. | |
[06:26] | I can keep doing it with him, though. | |
[06:29] | [Zelda] Well, he isn’t either, | |
[06:30] | not with any of the other women, | |
[06:31] | not to my knowledge. | |
[06:33] | Huh. | |
[06:34] | [Zelda] Whatever you did, | |
[06:35] | I recommend you keep doing it. | |
[06:37] | Regulars are best for business. | |
[06:39] | [Iris] Got it. | |
[06:41] | [Zelda] Next, I have a couple of binary choices for you. | |
[06:45] | Are you okay with girl on girl | |
[06:47] | if a client asks for Cassie and Candy? | |
[06:50] | Sure. | |
[06:51] | [Zelda] Parties? | |
[06:52] | Sure. | |
[06:54] | [Zelda] To clarify, it means up to ten clients, | |
[06:57] | at three times your rate. | |
[06:58] | Means you’ll go with anyone who wants you. | |
[07:01] | [Iris] Got it. | |
[07:02] | – [Zelda] Bareback? – Without protection? | |
[07:04] | [Zelda] Some of the women charge extra | |
[07:06] | or insist on seeing test results up front. | |
[07:09] | I’m gonna go with no. | |
[07:10] | [Zelda] You name a price. | |
[07:11] | Most everybody’s got one. | |
[07:13] | Let’s put a pin in that. | |
[07:15] | [Zelda] Understood. | |
[07:16] | Anal? | |
[07:18] | [Iris] Five times my rate. | |
[07:19] | [Zelda] Fetish? | |
[07:20] | On a case-by-case basis. | |
[07:22] | I like to know what I’m getting into. | |
[07:24] | [Zelda] You got it. | |
[07:25] | Will you be setting up a profile? | |
[07:27] | No, all bookings have to go through you. | |
[07:30] | [♪] | |
[07:33] | [Zelda] Men are visual animals. | |
[07:35] | It’s helpful to link those online reviews. | |
[07:39] | I’m gonna go the opposite route. | |
[07:42] | Cassie doesn’t advertise. | |
[07:46] | And if those ten-star reviews keep coming, | |
[07:49] | I promise you your phone will ring. | |
[07:54] | [Zelda] We can try that. | |
[07:55] | [Iris] Good. | |
[07:57] | [Zelda] Would you like to be contacted by call or text? | |
[07:59] | [Iris] Uh, text is fine. | |
[08:03] | [Zelda] Are you calling from a secondary phone right now? | |
[08:05] | [Iris] Yes, I am. | |
[08:07] | [Zelda] That’s step one. | |
[08:10] | None of the clients will ever receive your personal info. | |
[08:14] | We run a full background check on all prospects, | |
[08:17] | and we’ll let you know who they are | |
[08:19] | and what they’re looking for before you meet them. | |
[08:23] | We do have private security on standby, | |
[08:25] | not that the need ever arises. | |
[08:29] | Would you like me to set you up with a driver? | |
[08:31] | Sure, that’d be great. | |
[08:33] | [Zelda] His name is Leif, ex-secret service, | |
[08:35] | very discreet. | |
[08:38] | You might want to leave location tracking switched on | |
[08:40] | in case of emergency, your choice. | |
[08:43] | Clients pay up front. | |
[08:44] | We process your earnings | |
[08:46] | and then remit via blockchain. | |
[08:47] | [♪] | |
[08:50] | [elevator bell dings] | |
[09:00] | [knocking] | |
[09:14] | [safe beeping] | |
[09:16] | [♪] | |
[10:27] | [Iris] What are you thinking about? | |
[10:31] | [man] Lots of stuff, | |
[10:33] | mostly classified. | |
[10:35] | [Iris chuckles] | |
[10:44] | [man] No hard feelings about leaving your phone at the door? | |
[10:49] | I hope it didn’t make you uncomfortable. | |
[10:53] | [Iris] No. | |
[10:56] | Not at all. | |
[10:58] | I, uh… | |
[11:01] | I want this to be a private moment. | |
[11:04] | [man] Really? | |
[11:12] | [Iris] First times are special. | |
[11:15] | [chuckles softly] | |
[11:16] | [man] Who told you that? | |
[11:28] | So when they told you who I was, | |
[11:30] | is this what you expected? | |
[11:37] | [Iris] They didn’t tell me who you were. | |
[11:43] | [man] No? | |
[11:45] | No. | |
[11:54] | [man] But you must have had some ideas, | |
[11:56] | wondering what you were walking into. | |
[12:04] | [Iris] I have a lot of ideas, | |
[12:06] | but I, um… | |
[12:10] | …I want to get to know you… | |
[12:13] | actually. | |
[12:18] | [man] Okay. | |
[12:20] | Okay, in that case, | |
[12:22] | I’m going to want to pull your hair. | |
[12:25] | [♪] | |
[12:27] | Okay. | |
[12:30] | It’s not big, but I know how to use it. | |
[12:32] | [♪] | |
[12:36] | Okay. | |
[12:38] | And… | |
[12:42] | …I’m going to want to make you cum. | |
[12:45] | [♪] | |
[12:51] | Okay. | |
[12:53] | [man] Okay. | |
[12:54] | [♪] | |
[12:59] | Can I get you some dessert? | |
[13:02] | A drink, maybe? | |
[13:03] | [♪] | |
[13:06] | Doppio macchiato would be great. | |
[13:11] | Give me one moment. | |
[13:29] | [clears throat] | |
[13:30] | [♪] | |
[13:57] | [Hiram] So we went into their public API | |
[13:59] | and looked at one set of likes | |
[14:01] | versus H-Group matches that led to an actual exchange. | |
[14:04] | Think of it as a slot machine, | |
[14:06] | except the selection process is anything but random. | |
[14:08] | And it comes with a 70% success rate | |
[14:11] | at predicting match quality. | |
[14:13] | Take any dating pool. | |
[14:15] | You know, you think there’s some validity | |
[14:16] | to the old “opposites attract,” right? | |
[14:18] | Not according to this data. | |
[14:19] | [Iris] Shared features seem to be key… | |
[14:21] | Independent of sexual orientation, by the way. | |
[14:24] | When given a choice or the illusion of choice, | |
[14:28] | people have a pretty narrow picker. | |
[14:30] | They essentially want a mirror. | |
[14:32] | That’s no big surprise, really, | |
[14:34] | given you’re looking at, say, | |
[14:37] | average sixes and up? | |
[14:39] | [Iris] Maybe this is just about the proliferation of traits | |
[14:41] | that are already deemed desirable. | |
[14:43] | Right. | |
[14:46] | What’s your pitch? | |
[14:48] | Well, it’s based on this idea of a mirror… | |
[14:52] | If we can train AI to be that mirror, of course. | |
[14:55] | How’s it different from an AI therapist | |
[14:57] | or a life coach or a companion for kids on the spectrum? | |
[15:01] | You know, we’ve been called, um, a dating R&D group, | |
[15:04] | which is very narrow-minded. | |
[15:05] | We are… a human desire company. | |
[15:12] | This mirroring idea would be less about what people need | |
[15:17] | and more about giving them what they want. | |
[15:19] | Even if it’s a little bad for them… | |
[15:21] | But within safe space because virtual. | |
[15:23] | [♪] | |
[15:26] | Is it based on conversational inputs? | |
[15:28] | Yeah, the next step would be NLP… | |
[15:30] | You know, voice messaging, H-Group chats. | |
[15:32] | A-a mirror would have to be | |
[15:34] | image-based, though, wouldn’t it? | |
[15:35] | Otherwise, it’s just an echo. | |
[15:36] | Ultimately, yes, | |
[15:38] | if we can get our hands on the correct training sets. | |
[15:44] | Peach and eggplant emojis only take you so far | |
[15:46] | in natural language processing. | |
[15:50] | Twenty-five quid. | |
[15:54] | Uh, that’s, um the amount | |
[15:57] | the world’s biggest online retailer | |
[15:58] | offered his customers doing a 3D full-body scan | |
[16:00] | in form-fitting clothing. | |
[16:02] | Internal product research, quote, un-quote. | |
[16:06] | What do you think the product is? | |
[16:09] | Teaching AI to turn 2D images into moving 3D? | |
[16:13] | Twenty-five quid. | |
[16:16] | Form-fitting clothing. | |
[16:20] | All right. | |
[16:21] | You’ve got my attention. | |
[16:24] | Let me make a few calls. Well done. | |
[16:28] | We don’t do… sloppy hiring. | |
[16:31] | [♪] | |
[16:34] | Is that what you hired me to do, | |
[16:36] | come up with new training sets? | |
[16:39] | That’s how we train AI: | |
[16:42] | With data… Straight from the source | |
[16:44] | or bundled and repackaged at dumping rate. | |
[16:49] | I’m gonna make those phone calls now. | |
[16:51] | [♪] | |
[17:16] | [Iris] Georges. Session One. | |
[17:19] | [♪] | |
[17:23] | He wouldn’t let me keep my phone, | |
[17:25] | which is why I’m annotating the session from memory. | |
[17:29] | [Georges] I need this to be simple. | |
[17:31] | [Iris] I like simple. | |
[17:34] | [Georges] Out there, it’s complicated. | |
[17:38] | [Iris] Once I sat face-to-face with him, | |
[17:41] | my first impulse was to avoid my own bias | |
[17:43] | towards a public figure. | |
[17:45] | [Georges] I thought it was one thing, | |
[17:46] | protect and serve. | |
[17:49] | Got seduced by the window dressing. | |
[17:53] | Inside the back room, different story. | |
[17:55] | It’s best to keep the lights off. | |
[17:56] | Hmm. | |
[17:58] | Stocked with too much foreign product. | |
[18:01] | Can’t talk to your wife about any of that? | |
[18:05] | Understandably, he has a need for privacy. | |
[18:08] | We’re not together anymore, | |
[18:09] | haven’t been for years. | |
[18:14] | Nobody… actually knows. | |
[18:18] | [♪] | |
[18:21] | [Iris] Considering other factors, though… | |
[18:24] | The wedding ring to keep up appearances, | |
[18:28] | certain mannerisms like putting his pinkie up | |
[18:29] | every time he takes a drink… | |
[18:32] | He orchestrated the experience for me in its entirety. | |
[18:37] | It’s possible that his primary need | |
[18:39] | is to be in control of the situation | |
[18:42] | so that he can relax. | |
[18:45] | What do you do to relax? | |
[18:47] | I don’t. | |
[18:51] | Maybe a Lugar Ocho… on a good day. | |
[18:55] | Tequila? | |
[18:56] | No. | |
[18:58] | Rolled tobacco. | |
[19:00] | [♪] | |
[19:08] | How about I help you relax? | |
[19:10] | [♪] | |
[19:14] | Let me ask you this. | |
[19:16] | What are you doing for the rest of the afternoon… | |
[19:20] | if I were to formally extend this situation? | |
[19:22] | [♪] | |
[19:28] | I like to take my time. | |
[19:30] | [♪] | |
[19:33] | If you can wrangle your people, I’ll do my part. | |
[19:36] | [♪] | |
[19:39] | [Georges speaking indistinctly] | |
[19:42] | [man] No, absolutely not! | |
[19:47] | [Iris] He asked for permission to pull my hair, | |
[19:51] | yet when he had a chance to do exactly that, | |
[19:54] | it wasn’t a gesture of control. | |
[19:56] | It was intimate, | |
[19:58] | surprising. | |
[20:00] | [Georges speaking indistinctly] | |
[20:03] | [♪] | |
[20:21] | [Iris] Question is, does he like to receive, | |
[20:23] | or does he prefer to give? | |
[20:26] | [♪] | |
[20:29] | If I brought him his favorite cigars, | |
[20:30] | would he enjoy that, | |
[20:32] | or would I be overstepping? | |
[20:37] | [Georges sighs] | |
[20:38] | [♪] | |
[20:45] | [Iris] Find out what his sweet spots are. | |
[20:49] | [♪] | |
[21:11] | [Georges] Oh, God, you’re beautiful. | |
[21:13] | [♪] | |
[21:19] | On your knees. | |
[21:22] | [♪] | |
[22:42] | [soft indistinct chatter] | |
[22:47] | [treadmill beeping] | |
[22:49] | [♪] | |
[23:08] | [person 1] Look me in the eyes when I enter you. | |
[23:10] | [person 2] But then it’s soothing and, uh, | |
[23:12] | soft and warm. | |
[23:14] | Then, uh, you start stroking me | |
[23:16] | and just keep talking like that. | |
[23:18] | [person 3] I just lie there | |
[23:20] | and I do nothing, not one thing. | |
[23:23] | ‘Cause I’m like the queen. | |
[23:26] | [person 4] All you want to do is to give me pleasure… | |
[23:28] | The hands, your mouth, | |
[23:31] | your cock. | |
[23:33] | [person 5] Just don’t say anything. | |
[23:34] | I mean, don’t speak. | |
[23:36] | [person 6] I don’t wanna hear you want it like this | |
[23:38] | or you want it like that type of thing. | |
[23:39] | Don’t call me babe. | |
[23:41] | [person 7] Make all the filthy noises you want. | |
[23:44] | But don’t use the English language | |
[23:46] | or any other language, for that matter. | |
[23:48] | [person 8] It’s just about consistency, | |
[23:50] | knowing what works, isn’t it? | |
[23:52] | Keep at it. | |
[23:54] | [person 9] Like, keep thrusting, | |
[23:55] | but don’t get wonky and experimental. | |
[23:57] | Just let me have it. | |
[23:59] | [Iris] He responded positively | |
[24:01] | to me putting him in a submissive position, | |
[24:04] | first verbally, then physically. | |
[24:08] | [person 9] It’s definitely the fastest way | |
[24:08] | for me to get off. | |
[24:10] | [person 2] I don’t know why it gets me hard. | |
[24:12] | But I mean fuck it. Why not, right? | |
[24:15] | [person 10] I’m gonna want to, uh, | |
[24:17] | cup my hands and grab it, | |
[24:19] | hold on to it while we fuck. | |
[24:21] | [Iris] He came twice and seemed surprised by his own body. | |
[24:24] | [person 10] It has to be a good handful. | |
[24:26] | [person 11] Whoever you are, boy or girl, | |
[24:29] | I’ll fancy the pants off of you | |
[24:30] | if you have a beautiful ass. | |
[24:32] | [person 12] I want variety. | |
[24:33] | [person 13] Just please, please | |
[24:35] | don’t fuck me the same way every time. | |
[24:38] | [person 14] Large breasts. | |
[24:39] | Bonus points if they’re fake. | |
[24:41] | [person 15] Bonus points if they’re real. | |
[24:42] | [person 16] Slim and fit. | |
[24:44] | [person 17] You can either give it to me, or you can’t. | |
[24:46] | [♪] | |
[24:48] | [Iris] Wow. | |
[24:49] | [chuckles] That was a handful. | |
[24:51] | [Hiram] Yup. | |
[24:53] | And these are real people? | |
[24:55] | [Hiram] Real thoughts. | |
[24:56] | Courtesy of our tech lead, | |
[24:58] | we now have a whole library of this stuff. | |
[25:00] | They ran an audio extractor module | |
[25:01] | over all the API content. | |
[25:04] | Uh, they just let a bunch of actors read out loud. | |
[25:06] | I wouldn’t even know how to begin quantifying that. | |
[25:10] | – [Hiram] No kidding. – [chuckles] | |
[25:13] | It’s personal. | |
[25:15] | But we can’t use it. | |
[25:18] | Would help to see their faces, though, wouldn’t it? | |
[25:19] | [Iris] Yeah, it would. | |
[25:24] | All right, maybe we take a step back, you know, just… | |
[25:26] | start with audio, | |
[25:28] | break it down beat by beat. | |
[25:31] | They’re talking about what they like, but so what? | |
[25:34] | The actual question is, do their emotions and behaviors | |
[25:37] | actually correspond to that? | |
[25:41] | You know what? | |
[25:42] | Let’s look at vocal patterns: | |
[25:44] | Cadence, pauses, speech modulation… | |
[25:48] | Or as you neuroscientists would say, | |
[25:50] | anything related to self-expression | |
[25:52] | and the release of happy hormones. | |
[25:53] | [chuckles] | |
[25:55] | [♪] | |
[25:59] | People’s personal experience of what turns them on, | |
[26:02] | it’s not about what they want | |
[26:05] | but how they’re feeling about it in the moment. | |
[26:08] | The object of desire is a foil. | |
[26:12] | [♪] | |
[26:14] | It doesn’t actually exist. | |
[26:17] | [♪] | |
[26:26] | [Emcee] Hello. | |
[26:28] | I don’t think we’ve met before. | |
[26:29] | Who are you? | |
[26:32] | [Iris] Brett: Session one. | |
[26:34] | He uses anger to express desire. | |
[26:37] | Do you want me to make you angry, big boy? | |
[26:39] | No, not angry. Mad. | |
[26:41] | [Christophe] What you’re doing with these clients, | |
[26:43] | decoding their wants comes easy to you. | |
[26:47] | [Iris] I give them an experience. | |
[26:49] | [tires screeching] | |
[26:52] | We know who you are. | |
[26:55] | [man] Are you scared? | |
[26:58] | [Christophe] You ask anyone at the forefront of cognitive sciences, | |
[27:01] | and they come to the conclusion that we are all just puppets on a string. |
