Are you a Bee, an Ant, or a Leech? – find out for yourself with the Social Compass!

Social Compass will tell you if you behave like a creative and collaborative bee, like a hard-working and competitive ant, or like a selfish egoistic leech. 

Enter “vm-sc.galaxyadvisors.com” on a browser like Chrome on your smartphone.


The Social Compass will also tell you your state of mind, are you currently happy or stressed. In addition it will tell you your tribes, are you a nerd, a fatherlander, a treehugger, or a spiritualist. This is all done based on the words you are using, which are compared anonymously and encrypted using the latest advances in AI trained with the words that tribal leaders are using (e.g. Elon Musk is a prototypical nerd). In the current version, Social Compass takes as input your emails (gmail, outlook) or teams messages, plus the messages you are receiving. We are currently working on a version that will also include your WhatsApp messages.


Social Compass will also give you an overview of your current discussions, showing the happy or angry tone of the messages you are exchanging with your colleagues and friends.

You also have the option to look at your social network, which shows you at a glance the people which are most important for you in your daily interaction. Even more, you can also look at the tribes of your colleagues, (if they have sent you enough messages), to see if they are bees, ants, or leeches, and behave like nerds, spiritualists, treehuggers, or fatherlanders.

Even more, you can construct your own dream teams, by either choosing the tribes you want your team members from, or by selecting some role models, and then adding others who are very similar in their tribes and behavior to the role models.


To get started, you have to choose an email or teams account on your phone, and log in with it on vm-sc.galaxyadvisors.com:

The concept of “bee-ant-leech” groupflow and all the other tribes is explained in my new book “Happimetrics”, a full online version is available at www.happimetrics.com.

Please tell me what you think, I love to hear back from you!

Predicting Stock Market Indicators Through Twitter “I hope it is not as bad as I fear”

Image
We have been working on trying to predict market indicators for quite some time by analyzing Web Buzz , predicting who will win an Oscar, or how well movies do at the box office . Among other things we have correlated posts about a stock on Yahoo Finance and Motley’s Fool with the actual stock price, predicting the closing price of the stock on the next day based on what people say today on Yahoo Finance, on the Web and Blogs about a stock title. The rising popularity of twitter gives us a new great way of capturing the collective mind up to the last minute. In our current project we analyze the positive and negative mood of the masses on twitter, comparing it with broad stock market indices such as Dow Jones, S&P 500, and NASDAQ. We collected the twitter feeds from one whitelisted IP for six months from March 30, 2009 to Sept 4, 2009, ranging from 5680 to 42820 tweets per day. According to twitter this corresponds to a randomized subsample of about one hundredth of the full volum...

My life in Alternative Realities - fatherlanders and nerds don’t go well together

Image
We are all living in different alternative realities, people with different personalities see reality from very different perspectives, potentially leading to a lot of friction and misunderstandings. “Nerds” are open to change, they believe in the progress of technology and innovation. “Fatherlanders” abhor change, they like tradition and authority, valuing the fatherland above all, and would like to reestablish the good old times. “Spiritualists” believe into supernatural forces, they are religious, meditate and hope that the forces of nature will heal their ailing. “Treehuggers” believe into sustainability and global warming, they want to save nature by restricting technical progress. I experience  this friction frequently in my daily life. As a computer and technology nerd with spiritualist and treehugger inclinations, my communication with members from other tribes sometimes does not end well.  My interactions with officers of the US Department of Homeland Security and the...

How Blind Trust in Generative AI Undermines Creative Work

Image
This summer, we experienced firsthand the damage caused by blind faith in the "superhuman" capabilities of generative AI, even among otherwise intelligent individuals. Here's what happened. We submitted a research paper to an academic conference, and after it was accepted, I paid the registration fee, booked flights, and arranged accommodations. A week later, we received an abrupt email from the organizers stating that our paper had been rejected. The reason? Their AI-based plagiarism and ChatGPT-detection tool flagged it as containing both plagiarized content and text generated by ChatGPT. This accusation was entirely unfounded. Our paper presented highly original work by our team, proposing novel AI algorithms to predict animal emotions—a concept never explored before. We detailed the development of an AI model to validate this approach, something completely unique to our research. By its very nature, it was impossible for our work to be plagiarized or generated by Chat...
