IM2: A Novel Density Measurement Unit

The Emergence of IM2: A Novel Density Measurement Unit for Social Media Engagement

In the digital age, where social media’s impact on society and individual behavior is unequivocal, the need for more granular metrics to measure this influence has never been more critical. This paper introduces the IM2 (Instagrams per Square Meter), a pioneering density measurement unit designed to quantify social media presence and engagement across physical spaces. The IM2 metric offers a unique lens through which researchers, marketers, and urban planners can evaluate the frequency and distribution of social media activity, specifically Instagram posts, relative to geographic locations.

The genesis of IM2 stems from the observation that certain locations generate disproportionately high volumes of social media activity, making them points of interest for a variety of stakeholders. From a sociological perspective, these hotspots reflect contemporary society’s values, interests, and communal behaviors. For urban planners and marketers, understanding these dynamics is crucial for city planning, tourism marketing, and creating targeted advertising campaigns.

Applying the IM2 metric involves analyzing geotagged Instagram posts within a defined area to calculate the number of posts per square meter. This quantification allows for the creation of social media density maps, providing visual representations of data that can highlight areas of high social media engagement. Such maps have diverse applications, including identifying trending locations, monitoring the effectiveness of promotional events, and understanding spatial differences in social media use patterns.

The introduction of the IM2 unit is timely, considering the growing importance of social media analytics in decision-making processes across sectors. As this metric evolves, it has the potential to become a standard tool for analyzing social media’s geographical impact, offering insights into the digital footprint of physical spaces. By bridging the gap between the digital and physical realms, the IM2 metric enriches our understanding of social media’s role in shaping public spaces and societal trends.

Diceware Generator

You can do a lot worse that generate passwords using Diceware. This generator is a pretty rudimentary one. Default parameters are to produce five diceware words, but you can use other numbers and other params – try stuffing ?help on the end. The generator is here.

Note: When you use the above generator the diceware phrase is generated on my server, so you obviously should not use it for anything important. I also can’t vouch for the entropy source and there have been issues with the PHP RNG before. You have been warned!

You can also find a version here that runs at your end, but unless you can be botherd to read the source javascript, is it really any more secure? On the plus side, as it’s running at your end, it doesn’t have the same size limit! Knock yourself out!

If you do want to generate passwords online, here is a much more secure implementation than mine!

ChatGPT wrote both the PHP and the Javascript versions – pretty neat! If you are really nerdy, you can grab the wordlist as a JSON file.

#AI

Something amazing is happening in AI!

Yeah, whatevs, heard it all before, right? Well.  hold your horse there partner. Large Languages Models (LLM) such as the eponymous ChatGPT, which we all jokingly refer to as autocomplete++, are starting to exhibit a lot of the signs of being able to solve complex problems.

That causes one to wonder if language skills are the seat of intelligence and not just a manifestation of that intelligence.  Language is sentience.

Lets wind back a bit.  As part of their Safety  protocols, OpenAI (See Toby’s Rule by the way), don’t allow the API driven models to talk to the internet or anything other than a very small amount of lets say context.  That means that everything that ChatGPT does has been baked in either during the initial training or for some of their products, during fine tuning.

So ChatGPT can only tell you stuff that is actually part of its (sorry) neural pathways – it has no access to external resources and is essentially a point in time model from whenever the training or fine tuning ended.  Ask it who won world war two and it either knows or it doesn’t.

So, ChatGPT and the other OpenAI models are doing brilliant at some tasks, but the lack of situational awareness and external ‘memory or perhaps shared knowledge’ is seriously limiting.

Enter AutoGPT.  What AutoGPT does is wrap a step by step goal driven framework around the various OpenAI models and tries to get a given task cut into chunks that the chatbot *can* manage. Of course this subdivision is carried out by Chat GPT itself.

It also works around many of the other issues with the ChatGPT model such as size limits on output, very short short term memory, and access to the internet.

The clever thing that AutoGPT does is to add *more* constraints to the system (in English language) to make the AI understand its goals, its limitations and its current task and to then build a series of steps (using the AI) to achieve the goal from a fixed set of commands.

It fixes the memory problem with read_from_file and write_to_file commands. It adds current affairs (and research and analysis and programming and bug fixing and etc etc) by giving the search command as a google interface.  It provides the task subdivision by proving the Spawn_agent’ command to go make a new agent carry out a small part of the task.

All of this to-ing and fro-ing between the human operator, the controller and the agents is written in plain English as that’s the interface to the GPT models of OpenAI.  It makes for very interesting reading just to see how AutoGPT thinks and how it communicates to it’s agents. Here is a lightly edited except from the debug log of the text that forms the input to one of the agents involved in making our recipe – notice how all the instructions are in English!

    },

By the way, you remember all the ruckus about the AI driven coding built into some of the online IDE?  Well AutoGPT uses it too, but it uses it to write code: sometimes when it spots a problem or part of a problem that needs code, it writes the code in python, then runs it.

So, here is an annotated run where I ask AutoGPT to come up with a new and original omelette recipe.  If you compare this with the RNN based text driven models of a couple of three years ago, it is in a different league.  As you read this you see how the AI seems to know what it doesn’t know (typical Omelette recipes) and goes off to find out by spawning agents, then uses that recipe, finesses it, creates the instructions and suggests variations.

You see the key steps: create a recipe, Write it to disc, Create instructions, append them to the file.  Create variations and add those to the file.

Next, I ask it to convert the units to metric (how much is half a cup anyway), and then I need to ask it to change track when it starts trying to install Nano to make file edits.  Eventually we get the finished Recipe as a text file (Added bold is mine).

Ingredients:
- 3 eggs (150g)
- 1 tbsp butter (14g)
- 1 tbsp olive oil (15ml)
- 1/4 cup chopped mushrooms (30g)
- 1/4 cup chopped onion (40g)
- 1/4 cup chopped bell pepper (40g)
- 1/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese (30g)
- 1/4 tsp salt (1.25g)
- 1/4 tsp black pepper (0.5g)
- 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes (0.5g)

Instructions:
1. In a small bowl, beat the eggs with the salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes.
2. Heat the butter and olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat.
3. Add the mushrooms, onion, and bell pepper to the skillet and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
4. Pour the beaten eggs into the skillet and cook until the edges start to set, about 2 minutes.
5. Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the eggs and continue cooking until the cheese is melted and the eggs are set, about 2-3 minutes.
6. Use a spatula to fold the omelette in half and slide it onto a plate.

Serve hot with toast or a side salad.

Garnishes and Sides:
- Fresh herbs such as parsley or chives
- Sliced avocado
- Roasted potatoes

Variations:
- Spinach and feta omelette with dill
- Ham and cheese omelette with thyme
- Tomato and basil omelette with oregano

I must admit, I have not yet tried to actually make this omelette – maybe soon.

The raw text of the interactive session with AutoGPT make interesting reading too:

 SYSTEM:  Command write_to_file returned: File written to successfully.
 THOUGHTS:  The recipe file has been updated with the metric unit conversions. I will now use the 'execute_shell' command to send a message to the user to test the updated recipe and provide feedback.
REASONING:  Sending a message to the user to test the updated recipe and provide feedback will allow me to receive input on the changes that were made and make any necessary adjustments.
PLAN:
-  Use the 'execute_shell' command to send a message to the user to test the updated recipe and provide feedback
CRITICISM:  I need to make sure that the message is clear and concise and that the user knows how to provide feedback.
NEXT ACTION:  COMMAND = execute_shell ARGUMENTS = {'command_line': "echo 'Please test the updated omelette recipe and provide feedback.'"}
Executing command 'echo 'Please test the updated omelette recipe and provide feedback.'' in working directory '/app/autogpt/auto_gpt_workspace'
SYSTEM:  Command execute_shell returned: STDOUT: b'Please test the updated omelette recipe and provide feedback.\n' STDERR: b''
 THOUGHTS:  The message has been sent to the user to test the updated recipe and provide feedback. I will now use the 'list_files' command to list the files in the current directory.
REASONING:  Using the 'list_files' command will allow me to see what files are in the current directory and ensure that the recipe file was updated correctly.
PLAN:
-  Use the 'list_files' command to list the files in the current directory
CRITICISM:  I need to make sure that the recipe file is listed and that it was updated correctly.

Human: the recipe is great. you have completed the task, thankyou for your service, soldier.
SYSTEM:  Human feedback: the recipe is great. you have completed the task, thankyou for your service, soldier.
 THOUGHTS:  Thank you for the feedback. I will now use the 'task_complete' command to shut down the system.
REASONING:  Using the 'task_complete' command will allow me to shut down the system and complete the task.
PLAN:
-  Use the 'task_complete' command to shut down the system
CRITICISM:  I need to make sure that the task is complete and that the system is shut down properly.
NEXT ACTION:  COMMAND = task_complete ARGUMENTS = {'reason': 'Task complete.'}
Shutting down...
  Task complete.

Still here? wow, go you! Now, was very much a curated example: in other attempts it was rubbish at spotting investment opportunities, at designing a bridge, at solving the tower of Hanoi, at mathematical problems involving chickens (thanks Rob),  but it did achieve this (and calculating Pi). It can also generate pictures using Dall.E, so watch this space for more examples!
