DIT (Dead Internet Theory) a 2016 conspiracy theory becomes real. Asserts humans no longer drive the internet. Since 2024, cybersecurity reports estimate over 51% of content was bot-generated eroding user trust leading to a "crisis of perception" as users interact less with real people.

AI SLOP (Standard Low Quality Production) refers to low quality, high volume content. It's repetitive, absurd, has hallucinations, misquotes, fakes, etc. Intended to go viral and generate ad revenue while using emotional or shocking visuals and cheap to create.

In the Short-Term AI help increase employee productivity but in the Long-Term reliance on AI can undermine the psychological experience of the human workforce, new study finds.

Using AI without validating outputs (i.e., accuracy, references, meaning, etc.) may result in Abdication Of Responsibility which may result in harm to reputation, no future business, revoked license, lawsuits, dropped from risk insurance coverage for malpractice, and so forth.

120 AI products. 🤓 Eventually AI products consolidate into a few good products or their life-cycle ends replaced by new options. Only time will tell which products will survive the market. 😵‍💫 (Tap on image to see the top and bottom edge)

Plurilingual AI. It's very common for fluent bilinguals (or plurilinguals) to flip languages mid conversations without missing a heart beat. This includes spoken spoken languages or Deaf sign languages too! Spanglish, Chinglish, Punjinglish, Germanglish, nerdglish, and now I'm making names up 🤪

Since most of the data - if randomly collected - falls naturally on a statistical distribution curve. So, yes, avoid dichotomizing your data variables (avoid forcing it into two only categories) unless the data is already naturally dichotomized (i.e., alive or dead, etc.)

"Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence", known as the "Sagan Standard" is an aphorism popularized by astronomist Carl Sagan in his book Broca's Brain (1979) and TV show Cosmos (80's) with roots in David Hume's philosophy essay "Of Miracles" (1748) and later by Pierre-Simon Laplace.

What is "mojibake"? It's an unintentional mismatch in how one software encoding accidentally misreads the code characters from another software. It's an accidental side effect of data software not being able to be properly handled due to lacking standardization or configuration.

Data pioneer: Dutch mathematician Tycho Brahe (Tee-Koh Brā-hē) rigorously collected astronomical data. On Oct 13, 1601, Brahe attended a royal banquet in Prague his bladder burst for not going to the restroom; wanting to be polite. He died 11 days later in extreme pain.

Today visited Klinker Brick Winery in Lodi, CA. I got the $15 tasting (6 reds x 2 oz. each = 12 oz). Some are better with a meal. The 2021 Dolcetto was particularly smooth on its own, with no aftertaste. I did not buy any bottles, but it was fun to do. www.klinkerbrickwinery.com/About-Us/Our...

Interesting,

So true, always use a seed( ) for reproducible results:

R: set.seed(42)

Python: random.seed(42)
Numpy: np.random.seed(42) (Python)

I use 42 because it is a scientific constant in Astronomy ☄️, and Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy movie (2005). 🤣

Test as you go! Abraham Wald (circa 1902-1950) founded the field of "sequential hypothesis analysis" where the fixed sample size is not known in advance and the output is evaluated each time new data is received yielding faster significant results.

Don't people already do this with collectible "action figures", aka dolls. 😂
