Cool data-driven social media video: repurposing best content
We repurposed some of our most popular social media content into cool videos, 3D printed objects, and virtual items. To demonstrate repurposing content in a data-driven way, we created the “Best of Acculation IG: Data-driven social media” video shown in this post. Basically, we took our most liked photo posts on Instagram, and turned them into a short video which we uploaded to YouTube (also below). [Update May 2018: Our services to provide data-driven, AI & algorithmically generated content as shown here have gotten a lot of press recently (click here for recent press details). If you are interested in pricing or learning more about how we may be able to help your organization with data-driven, automatically created social media content, please contact us to learn more (click here).] Cool video of AI algo-generated multiplatform social content that got press … aka transmedia aka crossmedia aka multi-media … when will they decide on a name?… Read the restWoolly Mammoths in (interstellar) Spaaaaace…. (or preventing mass-extinction with tech)
A recent study shows that about 60% of the world’s wildlife has been destroyed since 1970 (CNN article), and humans are almost certainly to blame. There have only been five previous mass extinctions in the 4 billion year history of Earth, and humans have now started the sixth. What can be done? Environmentalists will usually suggest increased conservation (or reduced pollution, or perhaps writing a letter to your political representative). We’re going to need de-extinction, genetic preservation, and bioprinting technologies. We’ll need these exponential technologies not only to counter this present mass-extinction, but also to help us go to the stars and become an interplanetary and interstellar species, as we’ll explain. Incidentally, all of this genetic data will be great opportunities for bioinformatics and data science. Unfortunately, conservation, education/persuasion, and political letter-writing approaches to halting our ongoing existential mass-extinction threat are all likely to be equally futile. This is because it is very difficult to control and coordinate the activity of billions of humans (many of whom are in denial about the gravity of the situation, or, in some cases, even encouraged to disbelieve the statistics by well-funded special interests).… Read the restTalk with one of our Ivy League PhD data scientists and AI software developers today

Human longevity science has been in the news recently. According to a paper in Nature by Dong et al. (New York Times article), the natural limit on human lifespan is about 115 years. Life expectancy has essentially stopped improving. This is in contrast to the views and hopes of some, such as the transhumanists and folks at Singularity University (whom we previously discussed in our water futures article and elsewhere), who are giddy that advances in technology (such as the super-intelligence) will soon lead to vasty elongated lifespans. Are there some simple data science or predictive analytics things we can do to illustrate the underlying the limits on human lifespan? Can we use predictive analytics to figure out what technologies or behaviors might potentially hold the key to greatly extended human longevity? (And is greatly prolonged life even a socially desirable or feasible goal given the resource limits like limits on pension funds?)… Read the restRecent Posts
