AI systems excel in domains that have abundant coverage in internet data. Large sectors of the economy are not digital-native. Their data, processes, and workflows are governed by signals that are out of distribution of foundation models. Introducing the new Nomic Platform

In general I try not to post high-quality original content to this account anymore, and I feel pretty confident that the above post doesn't violate that practice.

Google books studies like this still fail to address the significant corpus effects: *Language: Latin is discounted but was the international language of science. *Format: big turning point in the 18th century is the rise of newspapers and periodicals.

Interesting new paper! 1520-1720 elite human capital became obsessed with religion (and likely high in religiosity) then 200 years later suddenly changed to be less religious. As shown by density of the words God, Jesus, and Christ (vernacular and Latin) in books.

@Dorialexander My guess would be that they occasionally chat with Bob Darnton or something, but they're not interested in the DH people because they figure they have all the computer expertise so they just need to check that against book expertise.

@Dorialexander Still though after those changes what I'm seeing is that GB has high dozens to low hundreds of books annually in the english corpus for the 17C. EEBO is like 10x that, although maybe a lot of EEBO is Latin?

@Dorialexander I don't think they really care? Not sure. I'm kind of amazed on reflection that in the last 15 years I don't think I've never met a single person actually working on Google Books, even though they funded my postdoc.
