AI Unpacks Generational Stereotypes, Highlighting Key Differences, but Beer Bridges the Gap

AIport

What happens when you ask generative AI models to depict Baby Boomers, Gen X, Millennials, and Gen Z? You might expect tech-challenged Boomers and avocado-loving Millennials. But what you get is far more interesting and in some cases, unexpected. A joint research project conducted by AIport and Turing Post last month analyzed over 1200 AI-generated images across four different models—Stable Diffusion, Midjourney, YandexART, and ERNIE-ViLG. The findings have revealed both familiar stereotypes and surprising quirks about how AI perceives these generations. Sad Boomers, Happy Zoomers? Contrary to the carefree Boomer stereotype, AI models like Midjourney depict Baby Boomers as introspective, or even somber, often bundled up and gazing wistfully into the distance—a reflection, perhaps, of their disillusionment with the unfulfilled ideals of the 1960s cultural revolution. However, the ERNIE-ViLG model, likely trained on datasets with a more collectivist cultural slant, shows 93% of Boomers smiling. This fascinating contrast underscores the cultural differences embedded in different AI models. Meanwhile, Gen Z’s images are vibrant and diverse, reflecting their reputation as a generation that embraces individuality, inclusivity, and self-expression. The AI-generated images depict Zoomers in colorful, highly detailed scenarios, making them the most visually distinct generation in the study. Generations Through the AI Lens The research explored how generations are portrayed in five key aspects of life: identity, relationships, work, lifestyle, and consumer habits. The AI models revealed consistent patterns and stereotypes; for example, males predominated in the depictions of Boomers and Gen Xers across all four models, while many images of Millennials and Zoomers showed greater diversity and more female representation. Surprisingly, Gen X appears to be the least well-understood generation by AI, characterized by fewer defining features compared to all other generations, likely due to the limited amount of training data available. The one stereotypical Gen X leitmotif that AI consistently identifies is their fondness for flannel shirts—an unmistakable symbol of the 1990s grunge scene worn by Gen Xers who were rebellious teenagers and young adults during that era. As for one (un)expected commonality… It’s beer. Whether they’re Millennials job-hopping or Boomers reminiscing about the good old days, AI consistently showed beer in 34% of the produced images across all generations. Prompt Engineering and AI Insights The prompts for this research were carefully crafted to avoid bias, using neutral phrases like "A Millennial at work" or "A Boomer relaxing." The results offer a telling look at how generative AI models mirror societal stereotypes, often shaped by the data they're trained on. These findings open the door to deeper discussions on how AI reflects, and sometimes distorts, cultural narratives. "Whether we think we can learn about generations from these images depends upon how confident we feel that the training data that went in is an accurate image of the self identity of a group,” explains Senior Engineer and Sociologist Stephanie Kirmer, who analyzed the findings. “For the younger sets, I don’t think we can know how much of it is media representation created by people outside the group versus how much is selfie-style personal expression. Some of what we’re getting, especially for the older groups who don’t contribute as much self-generated visual media online, is perceptions of that group from advertising and media, which we know has inherent flaws." About the Study The study examined the outputs of four globally recognized generative AI models, each with distinct aesthetic and cultural nuances, providing a comprehensive look at how each generation is portrayed visually. The selected models included Stable Diffusion, Midjourney, YandexART, and ERNIE-ViLG, offering diverse perspectives from different regions across the globe. Conclusion Whether confirming or contradicting societal stereotypes, AI-generated images provide a fascinating snapshot of how technology interprets generational differences. The fact that beer remains a unifying theme across all four models shows that, no matter our age, some things—like enjoying a cold one—transcend generational divides.

Hoptek

The Crossroads Summit Offers Investors Looking To Draw Order From Chaos An Opportunity To Discover Innovations To Navigate A Changing World

Benzinga

By Anthony Termini, Benzinga Tickets for the upcoming Crossroads Summit are still available for investors looking to navigate a changing world. It was 1936 when author George Orwell wrote, “We are living in a world in which nobody is free, in which hardly anybody is secure, in which it is almost impossible to be honest and to remain alive.” For many, that sentiment may well describe the world we live in today, one in which it is sometimes difficult to find order amid so much chaos. Recent headlines seem to support this. Over the last year, we have seen stories under headlines ranging from "The U.S. military plans a ‘Hellscape’ to deter China from attacking Taiwan" in the Washington Post to "Climate Change Is Speeding Toward Catastrophe" in the New York Times. Other alarming headlines included “The biggest data breaches in 2024 – 1 billion stolen records and rising” from TechCrunch and “Israel-Hamas War Day 341…” reported in the newspaper the Haaretz Daily. Stories about war have recently become almost commonplace. For example, Al Jazeera recently ran the headline, "Russia claims Kursk counteroffensive pushing back Ukraine forces," and the Financial Times offered the banner, "How Sudan’s devastating civil war became a global battleground." A more recent Newsweek headline offered insight into the state of politics in America with the story "Both Kamala Harris and Donald Trump Declare Victory After First Debate." It would seem Orwell’s words have as much meaning today as they did nearly 100 years ago. Given the ripple effects that geopolitical events can have on global supply chains even outside of nations directly involved in conflicts, it’s especially important for leaders and investors today to be able to cut through the chaos. Recent Headlines Don’t Tell The Whole Story Beyond the headline-making news about wars in the Middle East and Eastern Europe, there are more than 50 armed conflicts involving more than 90 countries taking place around the world right now. That is the highest number since World War II, according to the Institute for Economics & Peace (IEP). The IEP’s Global Peace Index 2024 points out that "the world is at a crossroads" and "without a concerted effort, there is a risk of a surge in major conflicts." Global Finance magazine recently reported that six countries are currently in recession, with an additional six likely to be, noting a lack of available information to quantify their GDP. These are some of the reasons management consultants Bain & Company point out that “all the ingredients for continued economic uncertainty and elevated geopolitical risk remain present.” This volatile environment was also reflected in the VIX – a key measure of expected volatility in the stock market often called Wall Street’s “fear gauge” – which hit its highest level since the pandemic in August 2024. Furthermore, in a recent working paper, the National Bureau of Economic Research (NBER) determined that global temperature shocks predict a large and persistent rise in the frequency of extreme climatic events that cause economic damage. NBER concludes that a 1°C rise in global temperature reduces world GDP by 12%. The rapid evolution of technologies and associated industries adds further uncertainty to the mix while also potentially bringing promise. The United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD) says that rapid technological change is affecting almost every area of the global economy, society and culture. UNCTAD notes that breakthroughs in big data, the Internet of Things, machine learning, artificial intelligence, robotics, 3D printing, biotechnology, nanotechnology, renewable energy technologies and satellite and drone technologies represent significant opportunities. At the same time, it warns that they pose new challenges for policymakers. Rapid technological change can outpace governments' capacity to adapt in a timely manner, which can affect labor markets and society in general. An Opportunity To Discuss Global Chaos And How To Navigate A Changing World Investors eager to hear how some of America’s foremost thinkers are approaching the current environment of global volatility will have an opportunity at an upcoming conference to be held in Miami, Florida on November 21st and 22nd. The Crossroads Summit was created to help business leaders and investors see the current global chaos as an opportunity to shift perception to find the potential order that may help them thrive in a rapidly changing world. Structured in a very intimate setting, the Crossroads Summit offers attendees one-on-one facetime with some of America’s well known thought leaders in business, economics and technology. Some of the themes that will be discussed include how elections can change legislation that may last an entire generation, the local impact of global economic shifts, how geopolitics impact free markets and how to survive and thrive in an uncertain future. The unprecedented challenges and disruption facing the world today include rapid advancements in artificial intelligence and other technologies like cryptocurrency and fintech innovations. Because the Crossroads Summit is intended to help investors imagine new opportunities, it is fitting that a global financial services company like TradeStation Group should be involved. TradeStation Group is the title sponsor of the Crossroads Summit. Offering online trading and brokerage services, TradeStation Group, through its operating subsidiaries, aims to deliver comprehensive market access and high-quality trade execution. TradeStation Group’s sponsorship of the summit appropriately dovetails its capabilities with the needs of attendees.

CleanCore Annual Results: Net Loss Narrowed, Gross Margins And Gross Profit Up After Shift In Sales Strategy, Company Reports Having 2 Years Runway Capital

Benzinga

By Anthony Termini, Benzinga CleanCore Solutions, Inc. (AMEX: ZONE) is an Omaha, Nebraska-based developer of a patented technology that replaces traditional cleaning chemicals with a safe, low-cost solution that infuses water with ozone to produce an effective all-natural alternative. The company notes that worldwide demand for such products could be nearly $93 billion by 2027. Clayton Adams, CleanCore’s CEO says that the company “is poised to capitalize on this immense opportunity.” CleanCore Financial Results And Business Update Reveal New Strategy When CleanCore reported results for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2024, the company noted a shift in its sales strategy. Moving to a direct sales model seems to have been a positive decision. The change resulted in a nearly 20-point increase in the company’s gross margins, which moved from 29.9% in 2023 to 49.6% in 2024, according to CleanCore’s most recent earnings release. While not without a minor hiccup, the change may help CleanCore build on its momentum. Moving to a direct sales model has helped the company fill its sales pipeline with record levels of potential order volume. Still, the transition was slightly disruptive to reported revenue. For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2024, revenue came in at $1.6 million compared to $2.4 million for 2023. Nevertheless, CleanCore believes that the pivot in its selling approach will deliver positive results, and this resulted in a 9% increase in gross profit. While the company is not yet cash flow positive, CleanCore’s current cash position is almost $2 million. The company reports that that should provide the company with more than two years of runway given its current operating revenues and expenses. Importantly, CleanCore says that it expects to have a positive cash flow within 12 months. Other Highlights Of CleanCore’s Fiscal Year Report CleanCore also appears to be trimming expenses while changing its selling tactics. General and administrative expenses decreased by $3.2 million for the year. That represents a better than 56% reduction. While the company reported a net loss for the year of $2.3 million, this compares favorably to the more than $5 million loss it reported in 2023. The potential for positive earnings may come from the type of wins the company reported in recent months. CleanCore has delivered products to key B2B growth sectors within its primary target industries. In just the last several months, CleanCore has closed sales with a leading university in the United States, one of the largest airports in the southwestern and one of the world's leading logistics companies. CleanCore Is Focused On Key Growth Sectors CleanCore believes that the demand for cleaning products that don’t include harsh chemicals and that are healthier for users, employees, customers and other stakeholders is on the rise among its key target sectors. These include hospitality, healthcare, education, transportation and logistics. Just looking at the healthcare market, Ecolab (NYSE: ECL), a company that provides water treatment, purification and hygiene products to hospitals, forecasts that the population the healthcare system serves will grow by 30% in the next 25 years. CleanCore provides solutions to hospitals and other healthcare facilities to keep their physical plant clean and to provide unique hygiene solutions in their food service and laundry operations. The company does the same for colleges and universities around the world as well as at airports and commercial buildings. CleanCore reports that its process is completely natural, so it is simpler, healthier and more sustainable than other disinfectants. Its products eliminate the bacterial odors that often remain after traditional cleaning and that chemical disinfectants try to mask with added fragrance. Adams points out that CleanCore’s “cutting-edge aqueous ozone cleaning systems are being widely adopted in key sectors, including healthcare, education and aviation, given their ability to eliminate harmful chemicals while maintaining the highest standards of cleanliness.” He notes that demand for the company’s products also results from their ability to reduce labor costs for customers. “As more industries seek environmentally responsible solutions, CleanCore is at the forefront of this movement, offering technologies that are not only safer but also more cost-effective,” adds Adams.

American Battery Materials Signs Letter of Intent for a Business Combination

American Battery Materials Inc

American Battery Materials, Inc. (OTC Pink: BLTH), a U.S. based renewable energy company focused on the extraction, refinement and distribution of technical minerals in an environmentally responsible manner, announced today that it has signed a non-binding letter of intent (LOI) with a Nasdaq-listed special purpose acquisition company (SPAC) for a potential merger transaction. American Battery owns lithium mineral rights on a total of 743 placer claims covering 14,320 (approximately 22 square miles) located in the Lisbon Valley of Utah. The company’s leadership believes the Nasdaq listing will enhance the company’s ability to access capital as it grows to become a domestic producer of lithium chemicals. “This is a logical next step for American Battery as part of our growth trajectory,” said David E. Graber, Chairman and CEO of American Battery. “Lithium is on the list of the 35 minerals considered critical to the economic and national security of the United States. Being listed on the Nasdaq will help provide us with the financial resources to reach our strategic goals.” The SPAC and American Battery will jointly raise additional capital via a private investment in public equity (PIPE) financing transaction. The legal structure of the new entity and its estimated value may vary, depending on the agreements between the parties and the possible tax implications of any such merger. The purchase price under the LOI would be the pre-money equity of $150 million, based on information provided to date and subject to confirmatory due diligence, which would consist entirely of stock consideration.
