Will the guardian issue a correction to its EA/ manifest/ FTX article?
manifold.markets
75% chance. The Guardian piece here: https://www.theguardian.com/technology/article/2024/jun/16/sam-bankman-fried-ftx-eugenics-scientific-racism Reportedly contains many factual errors: See https://x.com/ohabryka/status/1802563541633024280?t=8IhUv03x6PKq_r5MwLbPuA&s=19 Resolves yes if one or more of these are corrected (either by stealth edit, deleting the article or editors note) by the end of July.

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.)

      of course, with this lot “can currently only be used to donate to charity” is also not quite the firewall one would expect it to be …
