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.

Can we also submit it via HN? If so, my understanding is that Pagerduty is running and long-term invested in Elixir (https://www.pagerduty.com/blog/elixir-at-pagerduty/) and Podium has migrated from Ruby to Elixir as the main stack (https://medium.com/podium-engineering/two-years-of-elixir-at...). Thanks!
Edit: oops, I see now it is the initial language. Indeed PagerDuty started using Elixir only later on. Although one could argue Elixir was part of Podium in its initial growth.
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!

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.
