Several Manifold users seem to have taken a dislike to me. This is still something I'd rather avoid if possible, and based on past experience I suspect that some of it may come from how I talk rather than other things like me being willing to make controversial markets.
Any ideas for what I might be doing that frustrates them?
@IsaacKing would you say you have so far?
I feel like I have noticed some change pre -> post WvM, but I'm not sure I'd say that was a specific users feedback necessarily.
@RobertCousineau I don't think it has, I'm still somewhat abrasive. What changes have you noticed?
@IsaacKing generally, I see less troll-y markets and market resolutions, less activity in whale bait, and more focus on 'serious' things (e.g. more activity about AI safety as a percentage of total activity). I'm not high confidence on that though (entirely vibes; I have not looked for evidence one way or the other).
@RobertCousineau Oh, I think that's true, but I wouldn't really count that as "interpersonal behavior". And it didn't stem from direct feedback, it was more of a personal choice. Though it was certainly informed by other people.)
@Gurkenglas I'm not sure who "they" refers to, but in general I do dislike it when people dislike me. But if I let that dictate my behavior, I make it extremely easy for people to extort me into specific courses of action simply by threatening to dislike me if I don't do it.
I'm not sure how to interpret your last sentence, sorry.
@IsaacKing "They" refers to the last sentence of this market's description. I don't think they made themselves feel betrayed in order to extort you.
My last sentence suggests ways to make yourself more predictable.
@Gurkenglas @IsaacKing This is one of the things i really like using GPT-4 at. Often we mean something and write down our interpretation of the thing instead of the thing itself, which obfuscates the real thing to the other person.
@Gurkenglas do you think gpt-4 did a decent job here?
@firstuserhere That is pretty what I was trying to get through to you, yes. Except that it's supposed to signal not "not meant to be taken too seriously" but "I'm here to take everyone's shirt.".
@Gurkenglas Your discussion was with Isaac, not me, I just jumped in at the previous message so i think you meant you were tying to convey to him, not me
@AlexbGoode Uh, here and now I guess? Or on Discord, or whenever. Doesn't really matter to me.
I'm not a particularly private person, if that's what you're asking. I don't mind having personal discussions in public.
