MENDOZA: Okay, so today, weak ties. This comes from a sociologist, Mark Granovetter, in a paper from 1983... wait, no, sorry, the original paper is 1973. 1983 is when he wrote the follow-up. Write down 1973.\n\nSo, strong ties are your close people. Family, best friends. Weak ties are acquaintances. The guy from your old job, a classmate you say hi to.\n\nHere's the surprising part. Granovetter found that people often heard about new jobs through weak ties, not strong ones. Why? Because your close friends know the same people and hear the same news you do. Your acquaintances move in different circles, so they bring you new information. He called this \"the strength of weak ties.\"\n\n[student question about social media, inaudible]\n\nGood question, but we're not doing social media networks until week 10, so hold that thought.\n\nOne more term: a bridge. A bridge is a tie that connects two groups that otherwise wouldn't be connected. Weak ties are often bridges.\n\nFor the midterm, I want you to be able to explain WHY weak ties bring new information. Don't just define them.\n\nOkay, readings for Thursday are on Canvas. Oh, and the dining hall pasta bar is back, I'm told.","rules":[{"type":"numberedItems","count":4},{"type":"maxWords","max":110},{"type":"plainText"}],"mistakes":[{"title":"Asking for notes","why":"The AI writes a long outline with headings, not cue questions you can quiz yourself with.","fix":"Show the shape: \"1. question | short answer\".","checks":["r0","plainText"]},{"title":"Not saying how many lines","why":"The AI picks its own number, and it usually picks more lines than you need.","fix":"Be exact: \"Exactly 4 numbered lines.\"","checks":["numberedItems"]},{"title":"Trusting the AI to count words","why":"AI is bad at counting.
