It would be easier to judge this if the jokes weren't 90% about AI and silicon valley, understandable only to people who subscribe to astralcodexten

Probably because if they weren’t absurdly esoteric we’d be able to tell it isn’t funny.

I thought this one was not bad:

    [write a joke about thinking machines and the idea of tropes]

    it's funny how enemies to lovers is a common trope that's uncommon in real life and lovers to enemies is an uncommon trope that's common in real life

    I think the word "funny" in that line, is being used in a common way to mean "ironic". Which is both good use of language, insightful and accurate, but not actually funny.
