C-LARA

I’ve still been focussing on the report, but that involved adding two pieces of functionality which are directly relevant to it, for satisfaction questionnaires and funding requests. I was also unable to resist the temptation to create another C-LARA picturebook.

Report

We now have about 95 pages, and I have filled many holes in the appendices. Still plenty left to write though!

Satisfaction questionnaires

I have implemented the idea Branislav suggested a few weeks ago of adding satisfaction questionnaires. These are presented at the end of both full C-LARA and simple C-LARA. A questionnaire screen looks like this:

There is also a screen, accessed from the Social Network tab, which presents an anonymised summary of the results.

We should discuss how we will use this to create some data for the report.

Funding requests

To make it easier for new users to get OpenAI credits, I’ve added a screen to post requests for small amounts of funding. People who are registered as “Funding Reviewers” can access requests and decide whether to approve them.

The model is minimal and decentralised: everyone decides for themselves what they want to fund, and they do it by transferring credit from their own account. So far, I have made the functionality accessible only to the small number of people who’ve told me they have some money available for this purpose. We’re discussing the details and will make the Funding Request screen generally available when we’ve finalised an initial version.

Another picture-book

Check out Die Geschichte vom wählerischen Kätzchen, the Struwwelpeter-inspired poem which ChatGPT-4 wrote and illustrated for our kitten Finley. It’s hilarious.
