The guy he told you not to worry about

Informant Data:

  • Once a universal microblogging, Twitter has evolved into a social networking platform in the past 14 years. Today twitter has become the most popular medium for celebrities and politicians to communicate with the public. Still, the founder, Jack Dorsey, and twitter at large advocate for censorship, safety, and nonviolence. Twitter seldom becomes boring due to constantly generated memes.

Contextual Data:

  • Cultural Context: As the environment evolves, innovative strategies and ideas emerge. For each new device, there is one faster and more effective imagined in the future but a slower version in the past as well This comes with a prize—especially on the environment. The faster and more efficient devices under deep learning emit increasingly toxic gas than simple model cars created a long time ago.
  • Social Context: This specific item contains three different eras of AI. Each era is representative of the field’s progress and challenges. A device from a past era could still get the job done, agreeably. It is just that the new guy emerging from within Deep Learning is much faster and more suitable for the new era.

Item:

Transliteration:

  • Your novel research idea. Some guy in the 1980s. Republishing the idea, but with Deep Learning.

Context(free translation):

  • Any kind of novel research ideas in AI is exciting. Under zero competition, one can often feel they have thrived. It is easy to compare especially with previous work like that from years ago. Sadly, some guy out there will come up with an idea, whether totally different, almost similar, you name it. Given new emerging technology, ideas from a long time ago can be revisited and used to develop totally cool and new complex models.  AI does not still well with old and boring. And that seems to be the message of this item.

Informant Data

  • Formerly a microblogging platform, Twitter has evolved into a social media network since being founded in 2006 by Jack Dorsey. The platform attracts everyone—regardless of their age, gender, race, religion, class, ideology, or educational background—to share or vent via tweets no matter how mundane they are.

Contextual data

  • Cultural context: Artificial Intelligence (AI) is that distant fantasy you’ve probably heard pro-AI guys speak about; that machines are so smart they can take over the world. Training models are constantly averaged with human brains. It is true that supervised training allows models to learn complex relationships and patterns required to process routine tasks, faces, words like human brains do. However, this still requires massive computing power, hard-coded rules, and updated algorithms literally every second new data emerges up.
  • Social context: This specific item challenges the credibility of pro-AI claims. One time OpenMind, AI text generation, used huge data that it took all Reddit. Unlike models, humans can learn from very limited data give that we must come with a built-in structure; that’s why there is, agreeably, machine intelligence still has a long way to go towards human intelligence.

Item:

 

Transliteration:

  • A given model overfits on training data. But when new data is observed in the world. The model is unqualified.

Free translation:

  • This item symbolizes an extraordinary challenge for AI. Contrary to humans, machines cannot independently observe and take in new information and update their network accordingly. Therefore, one can be assured that a robot-governed world is nowhere near us.

Context:

  • This piece is a good mockery and a joke and might elicit comebacks from pro-AI guys.

Purpose of scikit-learn is to split the data

  • Country of Origin: USA
  • Informant: Jiuqi Chen

Informant Data:

  • Jiuqi Chen was born in Beijing, China, on November 19th, 1999. She went to the U.S. to study at Dartmouth College. She had a strong interest in Mathematics and computer science. During her time at Dartmouth, she took several computer science courses, including CS 74, from which she learned basic concepts and models in the area of machine learning and statistical analysis.

 

Contextual Data:

  • Cultural Context: It is common for scenes in the cartoon Rick and Morty to be adapted into a meme. This meme origin from Season 1 Episode 9, where Rick, the old man, made the robot. The robot asked intelligently ‘what is my purpose’, and when Rick told the robot its purpose is to ‘pass the butter’, the robot sighed ‘Oh my god’ in upset. Scikit-learn (formerly scikits.learn and also known as sklearn) is a free software machine learning library for the Python programming language. It features various classification, regression, and clustering algorithms that are essential in machine learning. Splitting the data is the most basic step in machine learning models.
  • Social Context: train_test_split is the most commonly used function in the sklearn library, while Scikit-learn featured various complicated models. This meme is making fun of this fact, feeling unworthy that only the most basic function in such a powerful library is used.

AI can’t classify a cat

Contextual Data:

  • Cultural Context: The meme of women and cat is a classic form of a meme, where the left-hand side woman is yelling at the cat on the right, and the cat appears to be not bothered at all by the woman. In many science fiction such as Matrix, artificial intelligence (AI) is imagined to be omnipotent, often with malicious intent towards humans. Neural networks are a set of algorithms that are widely used in contemporary machine learning, modeled loosely after the human brain, aiming at recognizing patterns.
  • Social Context: Neural network is a very commonly used model when developing AI and classification problem is probably the most fundamental problem in the application of machine learning. This meme is poking fun at the reality that sometimes even a very well-developed machine learning model can’t do something as basic as identifying a cat with 100% accuracy, teasing the unrealistic worries from people who don’t know about the current state of AI development.
