AI Engineer Hiring and looking for Moderators!

We are hiring for an AI engineer to help AI-ify the P4P platform. If you know anyone, have them email jay@av24.org with their resume and why they’re a good fit for the role. Here’s a job description:

P4P is looking to hire a developer focused on adding AI capabilities to the Policies for the People forum. Examples of initial desired capabilities include, AI generated summaries of posts on the forum, building an AI helpbot that can suggest related articles and people based on the interests of users, building AI powered social media tools that can post updates from the P4P forum to social media, having AI bots that can help add tags to posts, having AI bots that can remove profanity, having AI bots that can help organize and categorize articles, etc.

The above listed functionality can be built using straightforward prompt engineering with major LLM’s.

Qualifications:

Solid programming background
Familiarity with LLM’s and LLM deployment platforms
Prompt engineering experience
A few years programming experience

If you don’t have AI engineering expertise, but want to get more involved in the behind-the-scenes operations of the platform, we could use some more volunteer moderators! Email jay@av24.org if interested there as well!

Refinements

Additionally, we’ve posted refinements to the forum. Please take a look at Merge Proposals (to reduce duplicative posts on the platform), Collections (to discuss areas as a whole, rather than just specific policies), and Meetings (community-building!)

Thanks so much as always! More exciting updates coming soon!

Is Congress aware of recent market distortions in the retail sector caused by Chinese access to American consumers via e-commerce?

To what extent are the Universal Postal Union subsidizations for Chinese e-packets understood and are there any plans to address the unfair advantage this gives to China?

The Biden administration has considered changing the De Minimis rule to prevent sites like TEMU and Shein from circumventing tariffs and regulatory oversite - is this understood and supported by Congress?

Is the broader issue of US job displacement understood and is there political will to address it?

@JayMudholkar nothing happens when I click collections or meetings. I can see them on the menu but they don’t appear to be active.

If you go to the list of all categories, and then click them from there, that worked for me. Thanks for flagging though @ShaneVeldhuizen and I will look into this!

Sorry but FYI I kept editing my above comment and added a few other comments.

i feel the same way, a lot of the top policies are just big on buzz words. are idealistic or not very substantive.

I submitted a bunch of merge proposals the day merges became available and they haven’t been reviewed. Literally 14 of the top 25 in economy could be merged into just 4

Ashley,
The same is true for me. I have over 25 years of thinking through the root causes of disease and sickness. I have spent the last decade working in rural and urban communites to address the epidemics of chronic disease and sickness in youth and adults, and its connection to food, farming, community, material intelligence, practical skills, food swamps, food deserts, apathy, education, and despair. My ongoing research and struggle to understand our epidemics have given me the experience needed to gain a perspective that cannot be learned in books, or solved by the current model of health and wellness. Likewise, It cannot be taught or even understood from a top down (program) approach, or by the same thinking that helped cause our epidemics. As a result, I have not been funded or found a way to be “popular.”

The boots on the ground efforts that we (and millions of hard working) people have done, and the experience we have gathered-which we are now doing our best to communicate-might not get the likes needed on this platform. Like you, I came to this platform believing every policy would be read and given a chance for real conversation. I believed I would be given the same courtesy I have given RFK Jr and Trump by ignoring the popular MSM sound bites, and taking the space and time to find and listen to both of them have conversations about their policies. RFK Jr. gave me hope that all the work I had done for the last 25 years, and the thousands of dollars and hours I had spent trying to change epidemics of disease, sickness, and breakdown, would not be in vain.

I have a pretty large policy I would like to post on this platform that works with the regenerative farming policy I have already posted. Yet, I have hesitated posting it. Why would I want something I have worked on for years to just sit here? But how else do you get the attention of RFK Jr?

I would like some sort of confirmation that all policies on this site will be read and taken seriously, even if they don’t receive enough votes or likes. I do believe each person deserves a chance to be heard.

Please make it so that when we open a topic it go direct to the original proposal and not the bottom of the comments. Or at least add a “go to top” option.

Thanks!

Emergency medical procedures (as a result of accidents or severe injuries) and reproductive care including vasectomy, tubal ligation and termination of pregnancy (pick a time) need to be CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHTS. I suggest they are delivered via Socialized Medicine for these needs ONLY. In other words, if you want cosmetic surgery, gallbladder removal, or any other non-emergent, non-reproductive basic care (including paying for your own pregnancy) would need to be picked up by the individual citizen. These BASIC healthcare needs to be REMOVED from the capitalistic structure of healthcare for all American Citizens. FIRST, get rid of all the Illegals so we can actually sensibly implement this. Amen and Peace to US all.

If you are looking for more traction you can see if Elon Musk will give a million dollars to the top implemented idea like he did to sign up for the constitution.

This site is new. Give it time to gain traction and do what you can to promote it. It will get better, more refined over time. Recognize that this is an experiment of sorts which has never been done before. Power to the People!

Didn’t know this site existed until today. Great idea, let’s see where it takes us. Imo, this is way better than any avenue prior to get the public’s concerns out in front of our leaders.
