- vntok 1y agoWell obviously they will have thousands of applications from which they need to make a selection removing trolls, luddites, etc. How would you do it without asking for some applicants' details?
- lawlessone 1y ago>they need to make a selection removing trolls, luddites, etc Do the luddites opinions not count?
- vntok 1y agoTo the tech sector's asking for input to help shape their vision? I would guess they don't.
- lawlessone 1y agoI just don't think a word predictor is the future of AI. It seems like a sloppy way to simulate intelligence.
- vessenes 1y agoWell traditionally you're supposed to make them count if you're on the luddite side.
- vntok 1y agoFirst step: don't talk to them, (one of you might get convinced)
- wewtyflakes 1y agoIf you have a business selling hamburgers, does it make sense to ask vegetarians what should be on it?
- kopecs 1y agoI would think it makes some amount of sense if you think they're vegetarian for some moral reason and you think you could court them to become customers.
- pests 1y agoBut why target a market that doesn't want you? Do you really think a burger place can some how override a person's morals to not eat meet? I realize were stretching the analogy here, but what is the point? Maybe if you already saturated the existing market and trying to grow. But then why saddle that market with the wants/needs of the polar opposite?
- 9rx 1y agoGiven that they come in good faith (trolling is already excepted), I would ask. Burger toppings are predominately plant-based, so perfectly in their wheelhouse. In fact, I'd expect better suggestions from them than the average burger eater.
- wewtyflakes 1y agoThis seems like a stretch. Another example may be, "If I am throwing a party, should I ask people that I do not invite, what they want?". Sure you could say that they could approximate the wants of the people who _are_ going, but why not just ask the people who are going, directly? It's just noise, otherwise.
- 9rx 1y ago> why not just ask the people who are going, directly? "If I had asked people what they wanted, they would have said faster horses" You don't poll people to find out what they want. You poll people to gather their ideas. Ideas that you can then leverage to deliver what your intended audience wants, even when they didn't know that they wanted it! If we assume this party you are throwing has 10 guests, you think you're going to get all the best ideas from those 10 specific people and nothing from the hundreds of people you could have asked? Maybe if you're throwing a party for professional party planners, but otherwise...
- stale2002 1y agoIf their plan is to sabotage things, then no their opinions should not count.
- chad1n 1y agoConsidering how much they trust their LLMs, why don't they just run o1-pro to make a summary of the responses given in the feedback
- paxys 1y agoIn this case I don't see a problem. If you want your opinion to hold weight then put your name/background/credentials/reputation behind it. Not every discussion needs to be fully anonymous and upvote-based.
