I love the fact that Radar reacts to certain actions I take at certain stages of my engagement.
It shows structure and a predefined flow.
What is the future of RADAR’s algorithm?
Will it explore AI later on?
Radar’s “algorithm” is Discourse.org. It’s really just a forum CMS. Okay, perhaps the most advanced forum CMS that was built by people who have spent a lot of their active careers building and managing communities, so they have been able to hardcode some basic features into it that anticipate human behaviour, and appear to make it really smart. Like it prevents people’s tendency to respond with useless one-word answers, to create redundant threads using dynamic comparison, restricting posting privileges by time spent engaging etc.
But eventually, Radar’s future will be determined by the direction its community takes it, not the algorithm. AI is interesting, but I have a hard time seeing its role in a community setting (maybe as search bots or something).
Hey, we can start with a bot that onboards users as they sign up. Also, the feedback I get from the software can be contextualised with a bot simulating human behaviour.
We can also have a DJ Khaled bot that trolls trolls @ire
Interesting stacks. Thanks @udemesamuel
