pplapi - A virtual database of the entire human population 👥

@peranadj maybe that kid is selling hustling the rarest Charizard and Mew Mew collectibles. 🤔

@rrhoover @peranadj Maybe he's a follower of Gary Vaynerchuk

@peranadj I found a 1 year old girl with an income of $61471

@svenvd_zee @peranadj not too many legit, not-creative-tax-sheltering reasons for that... what we might be looking at is child models/actors. So bless those children now because most don't turn out moguls like Mary Kate and Ashley! :/

@peranadj heh - maybe it's possible, but I think it's unlikely that any such 6-year-old exists. Right now, the database has many instances of implausible people, but this number will be reduced with time.

@rrhoover Super interesting. Did a bit of research -- Apparently it's this PhD candidate's project... http://imiller.utsc.utoronto.ca/

@srcasm nice find! Adding @iandennismiller as the maker.

@rrhoover reality is stranger than fiction

@rrhoover ur right!)

@sridhar_kondoji It's simulated data based on some form of population demographics predictons. They're not real people. Reminds me a bit of Harin Seldon's psychohistory in Asimov's Foundation series.

@joostschuur Thanks for correction. I almost thought it to be real data.

@joostschuur @sridhar_kondoji I think it is sortof like a building block of Seldon's psychohistory, yes

@ggnall I think it's better: these simulated people are plausible, at least in aggregate. It's like lorem ipsum insofar as these data can serve as a "placeholder" but goes farther by also being inherently interesting data (for certain questions), whereas lorem ipsum might as well be gibberish.

@steerj92 I got the same LOL

@steerj92 that internet access figure will be an interesting one to watch over the coming years... Presently, the majority have no access. It really does recalibrate your perception to click through a few random agents.

@iandennismiller Yes, you're right. Good luck with the research and thanks for making a great product

@steerj92 same here!

@arif_aze me too yet a $56k income. that's a skilled 0-year old.

@gertjeza maybe u r doing smth wrong in life? 😂
