Good conversation between two people involves “pink noise,” according to new #ScienceAdvances research. This term refers to fluctuations in semantic similarities—alignments in speech patterns and word choice—across time scales during a chat. https://scim.ag/3WpMifL
Pink noise in dyads’ semantic similarity trajectories predicts conversation enjoyment
Conversation is a core component of human social life. Many influential theories treat conversation as a linear system, i.e., the sum of its parts. However, linear accounts of semantic entrainment los...

i did not know this archaic use of “deplore”

semantic drift is fun!
I tripped over this same issue, though the guy I ended up scolding was myself - below, they are using “deplore” in an archaic sense apparently, to “express deep grief for”. I read it in the modern sense though, and presumed it was one of the harshest obits I’d ever encountered.

Semantic collapse and other maintenance-aggravating LLM coding issues do seem like they are a more pernicious kind of problem though.

"gently calling out the notion" it's 2026, we left this tiresome semantic nonsense in the pandemic years, please learn what a joke is
Gently calling out the notion that an accent could be “incomprehensible”. Clearly the people he’s speaking to, as well as people on the internet who don’t share his accent, can comprehend him.
If automated transcription isn’t accurate, that’s the fault of the training data, not of the speaker.
RETVRN (to Senate speeches that defy transcription because of an incomprehensible regional accent on the speaking senator)

Adding to Chris' point: I've got a vulgar understanding of Google's history with transformer architecture & going from semantic to vector search because of boring SEO-related work stuff. It starts in 2013 but you can tell when chatGPT came out and Sundar panicked www.demandsphere.com/research/dem...

“Gay race communism” is fun because while you can argue terms like “neoliberal” and “socialist” have gradually lost their meanings to semantic drift, “gay race communism” means absolutely nothing from the start.

It’s supposed to be scary, I guess, but means as much as “bald religion accounting.”

Not focusing on one thing makes conversations more enjoyable. There is a ratio there, close enough to pink noise (noise inversely proportional to the frequency)... Not exactly something that's easy to practice on. 🧪

Semantic scholar from @alleninstitute.org provides most of my reading, although I also get Google scholar and a handful of TOCs. I usually find semantic scholar's recommendations are just much better than the others though.
