Stupidly Brilliant ( 2024 )
For the second book, subtitled "Seriously Bonkers' selected bigrams synthesised by synthetic brains" , I've started recording the source of the SB. This is stored in the Supplied by taxonomy.

You may notice that my contributions are rather low.
For the time being, for any SB that isn't yet associated with the Supplied by term, then by using this lookup table you can infer who came up with it.
| If the SB is one of these | then it's likely to have been Supplied by |
|---|---|
| Created in 1991 | Someone in the Silver Bullet team |
| Sandy Bits | Someone from Rowlands Castle Golf Club |
| Spanish Break | One of the Madrid, Scotland and Hampshire set |
| Sampled Bigram | me, Herb Miller, for posts where I have written all of the bigram's contents or AI when the bigram was included in an AI tool's response or revised prompt. |
| Seen Before? | me, Herb Miller, since the logic that kicks in to create bigram's in this category only works for logged in users. And I'm the only person who can do this. |
| it's got a photo | me, Herb Miller, since I would have taken the photo. |
| Surf Bite | Now it gets a bit trickier. It would have been me that took the screen capture but someone else who used the SB. |
