Free ideas - crisis, predictions, credit

Dec 09, 2024

Hey, welcome to freeideas.net, where we share free ideas to help make the world more interesting.

Ideas:

Midlife Crisis: Enforce that everyone has a mini-retirement for a year, maybe when they’re 43 or so. Social Security can pay out during this time.
Prediction tournaments: In-person, competitive prediction making across a wide variety of categories. Two parts, where step one is watching professionals make predictions and step two is seeing 12 months later if the predictions were correct. Basically competitive gambling of sorts. Meta is that you can also bet on the event.
Human blinders: Horse Blinders, but as glasses for humans. For focusing.
Follow-through Score: Social credit score but for tracking how often you do what you say you’re going to do.
Partiful for weddings: Sometimes you want to coordinate flights, lodging, etc. to a wedding or other event, but you’re not sure who’s going. And it’s awkward to ask in case they weren’t actually invited. So basically Partiful but for weddings too.
Loading screens for LLM apps: People spend lots of time waiting for LLMs to generate tokens. Would be nice to have something to do in the meantime. Maybe label data, maybe watch an ad, minecraft parkour video, etc.
