Wtf is going on? @TfL @SadiqKhan
This poor Jewish guy was trapped on a London bus for an hour while the driver refused to give him back his bank card that he had dropped. He’s weeping in frustration and sadness. My heart hurts for him. This is outrageous. @TfL

This paper shows that you can predict actual purchase intent (90% accuracy) by asking an LLM to impersonate a customer with a demographic profile, giving it a product & having it give its impressions, which another AI rates. No fine-tuning or training & beats classic ML methods.
