word2vec does something funny to adverbs, something like clustering them closer to the words they're modifying than feels entirely intuitive to me when i'm thinking about substitutability? i have to keep switching back and forth

friendly reminder that word2vec is not a measure of semantic similarity, really; closer to "do these words appear in similar places in similar sentences in similar newspaper articles"

I learned yesterday from my friends that word2vec was trained on a corpus of google news articles 🤦🏻‍♀️ so it was really “most likely to appear in the same news article” rather than synonyms as I initially misunderstood

also, the image a few tweets up has a sensitive content warning on it so that you don't see it unless you want to b/c it's a spoiler; if you disabled these then i guess it won't work so uh, if that's you try re-enabling them ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

the problem w the sensitive content filter is that iirc on ios if you turn it on you cant see the image at all unless you turn it off
