SCENE JERRY'S APARTMENT

JERRY

so the app does nothing

ELAINE

get out!

JERRY

no really, the app is about doing nothing

GEORGE

Jerry did I tell you my parents moved back to del Boca vista? If anyone is doing nothing it's them!

ELAINE

so what do you do with the app if it does nothing

JERRY PRESSES A BUTTON ON THE APP AND IT CHIMES. KRAMER BUSTS THROUGH THE DOOR LOOKING CONFUSED.

JERRY

well it's made that a lot more predictable.

The app sounds like Kramer's idea actually :)

KRAMER

(slides in to the Jerry's place) (with the excited voice)

Jerry! I have an idea. An app that does nothing. (screams and shakes his head) NOTHING!

It's actually George's idea: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sXYWZhN8Yks

turns out it was Newman's "hello world" program that he made at a tech boot camp

he was trying to make an app that would repel dogs by playing an ultra-high frequency sound only they would hear

after discovering its real effect, he tried getting kramer to buy the app in exchange for free dead-mail storage at kramers apartment

In a Seinfeld episode, is the laughter noise in the script or is it just up to the editor to figure out when to add it in post?

isn't there any AI we can feed this to have a little sketch in video form?

There was an AI doing nonstop video streaming of Seinfeld episodes for a while there. Not sure if it was taken down but it did get in hot water for a bit when it had the cast say some inappropriate things.

It's still going. Some of the real cast have actually said some inappropriate things.

i fed it to a biological neural network that was eventually able to return a fuzzy but satisfying render to my sensorium

Love it! :)
