On this question, it’s really hard to say! But I think that there is definitely some precedent and potential directions that might be worth thinking through/trying:
just allow a user to customize their GA model as they like, trying to bake in the best meta-priors that they see fit, as there is some sense that it is one’s prerogative to choose how their model is for them
iterative refinement of the model’s understanding/belief set/priors that are grounded in the user’s experience and with the consent/knowledge/cooperation of the user
community-level education/”best practices” on how to approach having a GA model that will influence the user of the GA
forums for how people use/adapt their GA model, how it has worked for them, advice from others, etc
companies that offer GA models as a service and have strong redlines that they bake into the GA models, removing the need to choose
These almost surely do not solve all the problems, and deployment of GA models will probably take lots of reflection and iteration though.
I like this idea! Perhaps the GA can also help people who struggle on the same things to connect and help best practices to diffuse faster. there could be a chance of doing life logging and self improvement at scale, and more reliably identifying effective interventions faster. One tricky thing is the trade off between privacy vs the how well the system can learn.
If you are building this, I would be happy to learn more or help. I’m also building a system to monitor my computer us e activities, automatically scan my calendar, and help me decompose and prioritize tasks. I’m also trying to make it more proactive to help me align my sit short term actions better with my long term goals.
Good points!

I do appreciate you bringing these things up!
Thank you for the response!
