The trichromats are indeed better at finding brightly colored fruit, but the dichromats surpass them at finding insects disguised as leaves and sticks. Without a riot of colors to confuse or distract them, they’re better at detecting borders and shapes, and seeing through camouflage.
Fascinating stuff from An Immense World as I read last night. Both for the animal vision insights, but it also made me think about living in this era of big data and the similarities to where businesses with big data are trying to be better at seeing trends but sometimes they might miss the smaller events which make up these trends.

Decided today to repeat yesterday's experiment except today I asked Google Bard what it knew about me.
Tell me about Trick Jarrett

Corrections:
- I attended Georgia Tech, not University of Georgia
- I studied Computer Science
- Spellslingers was created by Geek & Sundry, and I was never a co-host, I worked behind the scenes to produce the show as Wizards' rep. It was hosted by Sean Plott aka Day[9].
- I have never written for Daily Dot, Kotaku, or Polygon. I have never consulted for Google or Microsoft.
- I am not a member of the Diversity & Inclusion Council beyond supporting them and attending events. And I am definitely not a co-founder of Black Girl Gamers, though, like D&I, I support them and their goals wholeheartedly.
- I do not have any children. I do have two dogs.
