He didn't create nor purposely helped create the atomic bomb. In fact, he was devastated when he got the news that the bomb was dropped (as everyone should be). He just discovered the reason *why* the bomb works, not the fact that it works. Yes, he also warned the US president of the fact that the Nazis might be working on the atomic bomb, but it was never his intention that the bomb was used with no justification whatsoever (aka no previous attack with an atomic bomb).
No, that would be intellectually dishonest. Also, the more people answer that question correctly rather than in a way that is expedient, the more the algorithm improves.
Who cares if a game you’re playing by yourself is “intellectually dishonest?” Also he chose to answer more directly on other questions he knew would lead the game down the wrong path
*random person* akinator: does your character create music? andrew: well there was a time when he was eating and his fork fell down and it was a perfect e#4 so i gonna click yes on this one
I think the problem was that he didn't think enough. Everyone knows that Einstein played violin...but we would have to say "ok obviously einstein plays violin, but what do people know him for?" Answering based on what you know would be not overthinking. Overthinking would be trying to guess what other people might think or say.
The music question mislead the Einstein game. You answered it wrong. It usually gets Einstein immediately and even gets Hilbert, Planck, Nöther, Turing, Riemann, Euler, Gauss, Perelman, Fermat, Villani, Feynman, and Heisenberg rather easily
"I have heard that akinator is amazing at guessing everything, but so far I'm not impressed" That's because back in the day, it was impressive. It's much worse now that it's saddled with tons and tons of irrelevant characters and people that it has to weed out before getting to the thing you want. Before, it knew fewer things, but it _almost certainly_ knew the thing you wanted and could get there in impressively few steps.
The computing algorithm was extremely inefficient though. Like he said, it should have narrowed down categories and remembered them much better. No doubt it was a wonder originally, but true programming genius stands the test of time.
Thing is, at least from what it looks like, Akinator seems to aggregate all of your answers in a Fuzzy Logic scheme. This means that the more things you answer, the less each of them matter. It is an efficient way to aggregate data, but it is looking at all of its possibilities and saying: "Hmm... This could be 33% Jake Paul, or 0.0004% Derek from Veritasium" IS YOUR CHARACTER ON TEAM 10? This happens because it is also adaptive, learning from community input. So, if everyone is asking about FNAF (I had to look it up as well) or Team 10, those questions will matter more, because the database shows that the more frequently you ask about these characters, the faster Akinator achieves a positive result. I'm sorry to say this, you are an outlier.
2:10 Fun fact: The answer to that question was almost yes. He was once offered to be the president of Isreal because he was considered the greatest jew alive. He declined for a lack of people skills.
It's sad to think that most of the times people that don't want to be in charge are better suited for actually being in charge than the people who aspire it...
Would have been fucking crazy if Einstein was the first Prime Minister of Israel. On the other hand I don’t know how well a scientist would have handled everything that happened moments after the establishment of Israel, but still.

You ever try Snarvix? “The snarXiv is a random high-energy theory paper generator incorporating all the latest trends, entropic reasoning, and exciting moduli spaces. The arXiv is similar, but occasionally less random.” They also have a game! It’s called arxiv vs snarxiv! Play it!
This game was popular when I was in high school. I would usually guess in 10-20 (apparently) random questions almost anyone. But as I see it's very RUclips oriented now.
Einstein was an inventor though. He loved to tinker with a bunch of stuff. He had more than a few patents to his name. He once co-designed a new kind of refrigerator and tried to start a company to manufacture and sell them. That plan didn't really take off.
I always idolized Einstein since I am a child. My father is an economist and my mother is a lawyer. Both of them doesn't really have interest in science, but they really supportive of me when I said I wanted to learn science. So they put a lot of scientist portraits on our walls. And Einstein is one of them.
7:43, Akinator: "Is your character a girl?" 9:08 Andrew Dotson: "It hasn't even asked whether your character is male or female." That was literally the first question.
I think saying that Einstein created music is what made akinator so inaccurate because I tried it and answered no to that question and he got it within just over 10 questions
Tried playing it right now to make it guess " Andrew Dotson". It didn't, only came as close as "Jake Roper". However, after the end, turns out it had "Andrew Dotson (Physics RUclipsr)" in the database.
It sometimes asks questions which can't be true due to old questions because some people answer questions wrong and you get the possibility to right that wrong (you can also look up the expected result of each question... maybe you did that, i'm not at the end of the video) also: it has to narrow down if you maybe just use a pattern like always alternating yes/no
The computing algorithm was extremely inefficient. Like Andrew said, it should have narrowed down categories and remembered them much better. True programming genius stands the test of time and will be good at weeding out irrevelent information. Also, Stephen Hawking name of an animal: Hawk is in the last name. :)
This is quite good it took it 70 odd questions to get Grothendieck, 25 to get Hilbert and Wiles. But alas for Brook Taylor, Colin Maclaurin, Barry Mazur and Richard Taylor it was defeated :)

Is your characters work dangerous?
"No"
Einstein: *helps create the atomic bomb*
Still not dangerous. Do you think a bomb would explode from a hit or something??
Actually he saved innocents by creating it .
He didn't create nor purposely helped create the atomic bomb. In fact, he was devastated when he got the news that the bomb was dropped (as everyone should be).

You can't overthink the questions. Just answer based off what he was known for. Music is irrelevant to most people when they think of Einstein.

Basically Einstein was also an engineer and a few things more.

3:50 his brain was studied by scientists so it should be yes
I answered only to 12 question to get Einstein... weird
The fact that akinator gave you vsauce when you were looking for veritasium is legitimately amazing
That part at 12:50 boi
didn't expect that!!!!
"I don't know what THAT is." Sure, Andrew, sure.
We all know what that is XD
I think the animal name was “hawk” in “Hawking”. I think it had it at that point tbh
"Is your characters work dangerous?"
E = mc^2 lead to the nuclear bomb.
does your character have an animal name?
"no I don't think I've ever met an animal named stephen"
...
hawk
Stephen Hawking
Let's see if it can guess Nikola Tesla in 2019.
Yup, got Tesla in 26 questions. Tell-tale question was "did your character invent a coil?"
Of course it would, loads of people would choose him
You answered a bunch of questions incorrectly...
I tried with Schrodinger two days ago but it guessed him

12:50 Question 79 : *Has it participated in porn?*

Einstein famously invented and patented a fridge without any moving parts, so definitely an inventor.
Are we not gonna talk about how he guessed exactly 40 questions bc that’s pretty impressive
The Berserk-Einstein anime part would be awesome.

Wait is Derek from veritasium even a physicist
I just played this, and it got Dirac in about twenty questions. I think this community has been hard at work for the last year!

i hate myself

It was easier to find you in Akinator than Louis de Broglie

This game was popular when I was in high school. I would usually guess in 10-20 (apparently) random questions almost anyone. But as I see it's very RUclips oriented now.
i like that he had to really take a second to think if einstein was a youtuber

David Pement That’s what I thought
I'm gonna go recommend this video to veritasium 😂
if you want an avenger-esque series with einstein in it, the super science friends are pretty awesome
Einstein = scientist with goofy hair.
That’s all the information it actually gained.
2:39 he is appealing to those of us who like physics

This was a pretty solid video idea
That was a great idea for a video
14:16 LOL I'm imagining Stephen making a gaming channel "Whats up everybody it's ya boi StephenTheHawking"
5:09 didn’t he help with the Manhattan project

I tried Kip Thorne, and it got it fairly quickly.
You don't invent an equation, you derive or discover it
This should be called Andrew gets progressively frustrated over a period of 17 mins and 36 seconds

Thats from an app right? The browser akinator is faster than the app

shows an edited superman-einstein picture
if that random generator generated the question is your character a scientist first, it would take like 3 questions
hey is it possible to learn all of physics with the textbooks and without lectures
Yaseen Ahmed yes but it will be a lot more difficult without proper guidence
Yes how do you think all the lectures and books made of people who discovered this all on their own
I got Richard Feynman quite quickly. It did guess Thomas Edison on the way there.
Einstein was an inventor. He worked on refrigerator in colab
The App found Feynman in under 25 Question, lol
I think saying that Einstein created music is what made akinator so inaccurate because I tried it and answered no to that question and he got it within just over 10 questions
I think Akinator has been skewed by too man people asking about Five Nights at Freddy's and Shrek.
Try Emmy Noether...
I tried this with famous philosophers and it often took like 40 questions.

Berserk is a fantasy anime. A dark fantasy anime to be precise. Very bloody and heart touching...
Maybe it has changed since this video came out (it has been over a year) but I managed to get Einstein in 18 questions...

Hey! I tried your name and the akinator guessed it!
Has your character been in Brazzers Videos?
- I dont know what that is?!
"Has it even asked if your character is male or female?!" First question: "Is your character a girl?"
I think there are two akinator pages because the old one is better. And the more you play, the more info it gets from your past inquiries.
I got it to guess Feynman pretty quickly
I tried to get the Akinator to guess you and it got Andrew Dotson. I consider this a win.
Lol akinator needed more questions for Einstein than for Bogdan Bogdanovic
How are you an actor if you are on tv?
Acinator actually got Paul Dirac relatively quickly.
Does your computer seem slow?: Yes
It sometimes asks questions which can't be true due to old questions because some people answer questions wrong and you get the possibility to right that wrong (you can also look up the expected result of each question... maybe you did that, i'm not at the end of the video)
also: it has to narrow down if you maybe just use a pattern like always alternating yes/no
3:36 that is the best dark fantasy anime
he probably thought it was guts
but it previously asked if he was real so that doesn't make any sense :D
I mean, I did manage to get John von Neumann from the game once.
It got Veritasium after 21 questions for me, it's improving
Why is the vape nation music in the background
“Does your character have a gaming channel” “hmmmmm noo.. probably not” just Einstein playing fortnite
