"which emojis are used the least often?" - Great question, and we rarely find data on this! But luckily, we studied this at least for two corpora with German users (and admittedly only for face emojis). So: Many object or symbol emojis (from the "tail end" of the emoji list) are very, very rarely used. Overall, faces and hearts are the most frequent. Among the face emojis, we compiled the full list of usages from a huge Twitter corpus (semi-public communication, 2014-2022) and a much small WhatsApp chat corpus (private or group communication). You can find the frequencies in this table linked below (and sort by frequency by clicking on the column). The least frequent face emoji in the large corpus was the "frowning face with open mouth" 😦, which most people have never seen before. Personally, I think it's pretty ambiguous and not very useful, as there are better emojis for anything it might express. #emojis #linguistics #WorldEmojiDay

Elon Musk hält sich für Han Solo, ist aber eher ein Sith – und liest "Neuromancer" als Bedienungsanleitung statt als Warnschild. Christian Stöcker bringt es in seiner Kolumne herrlich auf den Punkt: Aus der Dystopie wird der Businessplan. Pflichtlektüre für alle, die die KI-Fürsten verstehen wollen. #Neuromancer

Science-Fiction: Wer verstehen will, was Musk nicht versteht, muss dieses Buch lesen
Unsterbliche Milliardäre, Rechenzentren im All und eine KI, die erwacht: Apple macht aus »Neuromancer« eine TV-Serie. Was William Gibson im Roman als Dystopie beschrieb, behandeln die KI-Fürsten von heute als Bauplan.
