WE DEMAND A CORRECTION TO uh various minor nitpicks
also we swear we totally didn’t get your email
bonus from thread:
I am having a lot of fun on Manifold, but if the team insists on inviting eugenics speakers to conferences, its probably time for me to leave :-/
What exactly is your objection to people exercising their bodily autonomy to implement voluntary eugenics?
Dang that slanderous Guardian describing Manifund as a prediction market when it’s a market where people make predictions. Totally misleading!
Since Ivan owns 50% of the project’s certs, his stake has tripled in value from $3,000 to $9,000; he sells them for $9,000 to The Good Foundation, netting a $6,000 profit. (Important note: for legal reasons, profits on Manifund impact certificates can currently only be used to donate to charity and can’t be cashed out in the normal way.)
Is the header image on that page an intentional joke at the expense of GenAI, or did someone seriously make that and add it to the page? Do they autogenerate their pics?
It’s still hard to beat the dck pck
i think they honestly think this shit is cool
Hard to know if “Contovicsy” is an AI in-joke or a Grauniad in-joke. Or neither.
The more I look, the more I’m sure it’s just bad GenAI art. I mean, look at the random Big Ben with newspaper art extending into the ether behind it, the off-center knight-in-orb, the decomposed microscope thing, the physically impossible structural shadow on the disproportionate globe that simultaneously shows from Panama east to Borneo but somehow lacks India…
Imagine being such losers that you get owned by the fucking Guardian, and as your brilliant followup, you start screaming “I’M NOT OWNED”
Has anyone checked for kernels of corn growing behind their ears?
idgi
the corncob of ownage
still lost :D although strangely this evoked some Q3A mental imagery for me
is it considered acceptable journalistic ethics at Vox for a journalist who reports on EAs and prediction markets to make prediction market bets on how a journalistic outlet will follow-up a story on prediction markets and EAs? My eyebrows have just levitated so high they’ve collided with a starlink swarm.
yes, she’s ingroup
But betting? There’s being an insider and then there’s profiting, and aren’t most journalists prohibited from trading or betting on their covered areas?
Aren’t prediction markets an attempt to turn insider trading into a productive part of society (or whatever the libertarians who love prediction markets conceptualize as society.)
Isn’t it like not real money? Or have they changed that
but money is The Unit Of Caring
yes, she literally nicknamed herself “money”
The good news is that eugenics chuds are really easy to simulate.
so sorry that you have to soil your diodes with these shitheads’ tamagotchis
With just a little bit of creative bin-packing they can share a core with the processes that simulate the smell of sewage and leafblower noise.
The Good Place is a perfect model for this. For the price of a single simulated clam chowder fountain, you can torture hundreds of souls in parallel!
