[How To Prompt @HowToPrompt__]

A toothpaste company has quietly killed the entire market research industry and nobody is talking about it.

Colgate published a paper showing you can predict real purchase intent at 90% accuracy by simply asking LLMs to roleplay customers.

And this is beyond insane.

If you ask an AI, "Rate this product from 1 to 5," it gives safe, middle-of-the-road garbage.

So researchers invented a method called Semantic Similarity Rating (SSR).

Instead of asking the AI for a number, they asked it to roleplay.

They gave the LLM a demographic profile. They showed it a product concept. And they asked it to write down its raw, unfiltered thoughts.

Then, they used a semantic model to translate those written thoughts into a numerical score.

The results are staggering.

Tested against 57 real corporate surveys and 9,300 actual human responses, the synthetic AI consumers matched real human buying behavior with 90% reliability.

They perfectly mirrored how different age brackets and income levels react to price changes.

And they provided detailed, qualitative feedback that was deeper and more critical than what actual humans wrote.

This destroys the economics of traditional market research.

You don't need to wait a month to see if a product will sell.

You can simulate 1,000 hyper-targeted customer interviews overnight.

You can A/B test pricing across every demographic instantly.

@flipkartsupport @Flipkart Please don't rip off loyal customers like this, order amount being 1300 and refund being 700. If this is how it is going to be @amazonIN switching to you full time.

When you are born, the materialistic world feels magical. As you grow old, relality kicks in & the magic fades. You start seeing the bullshitness of your existence & the worthlessness of it all...

We developed a touch-sensing robotic "thumb," extending on the GelSight design, that can sense contacts on multiple sides, and use deep nets to learn how to insert a plug into an outlet.

I have a very close friend who’s a researcher studying public health at a major NGO, and he told me that this was THE week to practice as much social distancing as possible, even if you don’t have to go to work.

I asked him to explain why. Sharing his answers w/ permission (1/x)

Pseudo-Spiritualist like Sadhguru revolve around few words that people can’t comprehend...

Few examples,

*Consciousness, Moment, Center, Compassion, Truth, Purpose, Soul, Mortality, Depth , Passion, Destiny, Karma, Cosmos, Mystic, Silence, Fear, Acceptance, Existence*

My friend CTT came up with a very interesting design for proximity sensing, no-contact elevator buttons- that still provide the satisfying visual movement of being pressed.

Happy to announce that we've released a number of models trained with Noisy Student (a semi-supervised learning method). The best model achieves 88.4% top-1 accuracy on ImageNet (SOTA).

Enjoy finetuning!

@Oven_Story

1st order - received a crushed pizza (first time in my life)
2nd order - Took a chance again, but this time there were no olives on the famous four pizza.

If this is how you plan to go on with your business, im afraid you have lost mine.
