Some questions off the top of my head I’d like to see the results of (no need for this to be in the standard LW poll):
How people are using LLMs.
Which ones they use.
How useful they find them.
How much they pay for them.
How seriously they take LLM welfare, consciousness, moral standing, etc.
Whether an LLM has ever talked them into a delusion (or a belief that everyone they tell it to says is a delusion), or had some other dysfunctional effect.
I had some last year (ctrl+f for “llm frequency” and keep reading) and this year they fell victim to the culling of questions. I got some advice this year from someone who does a lot more surveys than I do that 70 questions is really the upper end of what you want to ask, and I uh, failed to cut things down to just 70.
No questions about LLM usage and attitudes?

With a LW audience in mind? That’s a bit lower than I would assume.
70 is the number I got when I asked a rationalist who runs far more surveys than I do.
Most years the LW census itself asks about how long folks found it, and last year on average they think it should be a little shorter.
