Some things that stood out:

- It’s crazy to me how they have pictures of four chimps “hugging it out” one year and then four years later, three of them are killing the fourth.

- “The last offspring produced by a male and female that lived in different postfission groups was conceived in March 2015. After 2015, all offspring with known parentage were conceived by males and females from the same group… A few Central females and their dependent offspring occasionally joined Western chimpanzees at fig trees.” This is like when the Red Cross organizes family reunification events during conflicts.

— “For help organizing and analyzing spatial data and formatting final versions of the figures in R, we used Claude (models: 3.7 Sonnet, Opus 4, and Opus 4.5; Anthropic, 2025).”



Ha, I had the same idea before I realized it’ll just be used for ads. It would be cool for pilots’ announcements on a flight, or approaching stations on the train etc. But CVS will use it to tell you to download their app and enroll in ExtraCare Rewards. Or “Did you know you may be due for more than fourteen vaccines all at no cost to you?”

There was a story recently about how large landlords use salary data to raise rents. If they see you got a raise, they’ll increase your rent accordingly. And pretty soon, retailers will do the same. Your personalized price for a gallon of milk at Walmart will reflect your annual raise. I love living in the future!

Large institutional landlords use Equifax data, TWN, and other 3rd party financial tracking systems to dynamically price renters across the board; new rentals, security deposit, renewals, etc. These are pricing strategies insurance companies use to their advantage, often partnering with landlords to ensure they're getting risk-reduced renters.

How does this interact with RealPage and other algorithmic price fixing software?

Yeah, but think of how much money you’ll save when you’re able to just pay a poorer person to go grocery shopping for you!

Presumably this also means if you don't get a raise, they don't raise your rent as much, knowing it would make you more likely to move. They no longer have to guess about your ability to pay.

"I have nothing to hide"

At the moment, I think the data that we protect ourselves are useless and those that are public are precious.

I foresee people shopping in masks, with phone off, using cash as a protest, and poor people being black market designated shoppers.

I have no takes on Artemis, but just wanted to say how happy I am for another post from idlewords. Some of my most favorite articles on the internet are on that site.

Thank you! Like NASA, I hope to up my operational tempo.
