Love data x film. https://stephenfollows.substack.com/ does a lot of this kind of work.


Thought to do some quick and dirty analysis of how often AI has appeared on the front page.


Funny how this is the same misleading language that tripped up Bard during the Google demo [0]. What's with telescope image headlines and the use of ambiguous language?

One thing that's understated is the fact that all you need is a sitemap. Wild how you can summon the knowledge of any site with a list of links.


To be honest I find ChatGPT sufficient for regex. I usually ask it for test cases that I can then validate in a regex playground to make the regex is working as expected.


Exactly my thought. I can just go to GPT and ask it for regex related stuff. Why do I need a dedicated AI for that? I don't.


Judas goats were also used on the Galapagos where they were used to attract the invasive wild goats on the island out in the open where they could be killed. https://modernfarmer.com/2013/09/killing-goats-galapagos/


New Zealand pioneered this with goats painted bright pink. Our conservation workers helped out in the Galapagos.

These days they use radio collars to achieve the same.

But it's not so much about attracting other goats out in the open, it's using the desire of the Judas goat to be with other goats to make it easy to locate herds.

I've always felt a bit sorry for the Judas goat, all their new friends keep dying.


there's a nice podcast episode from radiolab about the goats on galapagos!

I remember listening to that and it really struck me how much a single species could change an environment. I wonder how many ecosystems we praise as natural are actually warped by human introduction of species in the last few thousand millennia.


In "Fall of civilizations" series [0] there is somewhere a mention of caravans thousands of camels long, thousands years ago, going through north africa. Imagining this one has to wonder how populous their goat herds were in that time and how much their grazing helped to degrade the pre-sahara/sahel ecosystems.

Maybe we should try to reforest those areas again.

The whole desertification of the middle east can be blamed on goat herding of nomadic farmers.


I've heard that before. Are there any good books/ papers on the topic?

Its inconclusive on the goats. but the overall appearing cities and nomadic lifestyle selling whool to cities might have amplified the whole situation. Todays nomads definitely amplify the situation


Very cool. Thank you


This is also not limited to the middle east. A surprising lots of bioms are not resistant to animal grazing and collapse/become smaller when "attacked" with it.
