> is weekend/holiday Somehow this reminded me of someone datamining spiegel.de (german news site) and using the timestamps of the posted articles to extrapolate the writers religion (holidays) and relationships (shared vacations) among dozens of other data points from several years of publicly available data. I think no AI was involved back then.
