How I will make my Billions: Kara-Better-than-OK

Today I was listening to the English radio station ICR and what should I hear but the pop music of Paris Hilton. Yes, with the marvels of modern sound mixing technology, even a blackhole that can emit no conceivable talent has the ability to make it on the airwaves.

Which got me to thinking about how I will parlay my knowledge of China into billions of dollars. Karaoke here is bigger than Jesus. Bigger than the Beatles even.

The advent of Karaoke 2.0 is nigh. I just need to write a learning AI program that will do real-time sound mixing. Put the right demo[graphic] under brain scanners with IPods that alternate between Pavorotti[sp?] and the average first-round contestant of any TV singing competition. Correlate the sound waves with reward brain activity.

Train the algorithm on attributes of bad and good singing. Second round put the demo back under the brain scanners and feed input direct from lousy singers but train the program to modulate and transform the sound output to correlate to the rewarding music.

It will never happen though. Lousy karaoke singing probably is a key alcohol sales driver for KTVs. Self-medication.
