Love this AI app!

We process podcast transcripts and other datasets, use that to match over time based on similarity in meaning (or optionally exact and fuzzy matches if desired), then feed matching excerpts (match + surrounding context) into an LLM to score whether the speaker / writer agrees with {customizeable_poll_query_and_scoring}

:)

Note: similar to how DeepSeek started (or pandas or pick one of the many data science innovations), we actually are a quant investing software and data company. As a result of that, everything is time-series.

Is Elon Musk still considered a genius by the public? Not anymore—at least, not according to a +70,000 mention time-series poll run by ForecastOS using podcast transcripts and LLMs.

We're launching a weekly series based on ForecastOS Hivemind — our platform that continuously scans and analyzes media sources to detect emerging global trends using AI.

Each week, we highlight the top 10 most noteworthy themes across geopolitics, tech, markets, and culture, complete with historical trendlines, mention data, and contextual transcripts.

This dataset is behind a paywall, but for the next several weeks, we’re making our weekly research public.

Top trends from March 30 to April 6 include:

Massive spike in tariff-related discourse

AI model releases and OpenAI updates

Elon Musk’s shifting political involvement

Deepening Israel-Gaza conflict

DOGE and federal budget cuts

You can read the first edition here: https://blog.forecastos.com/content/files/2025/04/Hivemind_n...

We’d love feedback, questions, or ideas on how to expand this.

Cheers!

Thanks for writing about this :)

My favourite difference is that coding has the letters c and d (which in my opinion are inferior) whereas programming has p, r, g, a, and m (which in my opinion are underrated). I dislike that they both have o, i, n, and g. I wish this distinction was touched on as well.

Exactly - trying to capture what language they started with.

It was by no means a perfect science - was a lot of digging around on the internet for the oldest reference I could find!

Thank you for pointing this out! Fixed and updated the article.

Great point! Will make the change now.

If you can send me a source for that (on Twitter @charlieinthe6), I'm happy to make that change!

Hahaha clearly!
