In #ecology, some species matter because there are many.
Others matter because there is only one.

Evidence across linguistics, psychology, cognitive science, and computer science shows how LLMs reflect and reinforce dominant styles while marginalizing alternative voices and reasoning strategies

Imagine if McKenzie and Melinda got together as Media Barons.... that could be some ACTUAL damn good for humanity.
Watch how fast the oligarchs would try to shut it down. That reaction alone would tell you everything. #Homogenization

Deforestation in the South American Chaco is reshaping snake communities. As forests disappear, unique species vanish and generalists take over, driving a clear homogenization of snake diversity across the region.

Turns out that we found limited evidence, so far, for the #escalator to #extinction 🏔⛰️, except for amphibians 🦎
Instead, most species, especially 🦅, tend to expand their range upslope & fill their climatic niche as the climate warms, w/ early signs of #biodiversity #homogenization in some 🏔 regions
@benjedwards.com captures one of my biggest fears...
#AI-generated content may soon exceed the entire corpus of human creative works... a gradual #homogenization of our cultural landscape, where machine learning flattens the richness of human expression into a mediocre statistical average
#FilterWorld: "The outcome of such #algorithmicGatekeeping is the pervasive #flattening that has been happening across culture. By flatness I mean #homogenization but also a reduction into simplicity: the least ambiguous, least disruptive, and perhaps least meaningful pieces of culture are […]
