Today, we’re announcing the Official Elon Musk is a Sad Little Bitch with No Friends Monument Design Committee. For just $10, you can join a movement of like-minded people working together to force a moment of introspection upon the world’s richest, ugliest little bitch. |

Is there any way to make the monument noisy as fuck and wildly carcinogenic for those living nearby? |

I'm thinking more like tungsten carbide wind chimes with a plutonium-gallium core in each chime. It could flash blue. |

How about something visible from space so it shows up when flown over and more importantly, when satellite maps are updated. Grasses / trees planted in a shape or phrase would be cool. |

Or it was a simple layered joke making fun of both Elon's pedophilia and that things that fucked up are actually allowed on those shit gambling sites. |

Which is why when we are only confiscating entire fortunes from some families, and imprisoning them for their crimes, Musk will suffer a far worse fate. |

That's wild. Sam Altman sucks but he's tame compared to others |

Well, it's the aggregated opinion of people who use the site. Kalshi doesn't set the price; people making the bets set the price based on the odds others are willing to accept. There's a sampling bias for sure, but since the odds given for this bet are based on how much people are willing to pay for that bet, this gives a very good approximation for how people actually feel about something. It actually ends up being more reliable than most opinion polls in that way. |

I think you haven't heard the interview where he talks about the "suicide" of one of his employees: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Suchir_Balaji Watch this interview: https://www.reddit.com/r/OpenAI/comments/1o9ewpv/sam_altman_discusses_the_mysterious_death_of_his/ |

In my opinion, Musk is so worthless, that he doesn't deserve any sort of monument or anything of that sort. I've known so many losers! Do they get a monument? Naaah, they're just the butt of gossip and that's the end of it. I know Musk is more damaging, but stuff like this is excessively ineffective at changing anything. If you want public art, we can actually fund timeless art. |

Besides the fact they nobody knows what is being done behind the scenes to ensure results are (or aren't) fair, using a sample of individuals that are all attempting to play the system against each other deeply and irreparably biases the data. On top of that, jokes like the one I responded to and comments like yours only serve to legitimize a "service" thats sole purpose is to squeeze every penny from its users. It doesn't provide anything beneficial to anyone but its owners. |

If the contract isn't something that meets the criteria for an efficient market, then yeah, it's not something that can be used to give reasonable probabilities. But for something like, winner of the democratic presidential primary, or the proce of gold in a month... then it's genuinely a better predictive model than what a statistician would be able to come up with.
For statistics purposes, it gives me something incredibly beneficial. Simply by knowing the price of a contract, I can know with decent accuracy how likely something is to happen. If you're not in the field, you wouldn't necessarily appreciate how valuable that is. |

OK, let's see the evidence for that assertion.
A retrospective analysis of the contract prices versus actual outcomes would also be needed. Otherwise, all you're seeing is an opinion poll conducted on a self-selected sample of people unusually prone to being greedheads. And you have no idea of the mechanisms that shape that market. |

Using prediction markets to estimate the reproducibility of scientific research - PMC There's one. But obviously it's not a guarantee if you don't know what you're doing. We also have documentation on where these methods fall short, such as when it's based on exponential growth, rare events, or something else that humans are bad at understanding. But again, good statisticians are prepared to address those things.
That's even better. If I don't understand the mechanisms shaping the market, I won't be able to correctly identify predictive variables for my model. In that case, I would be better off trusting the prediction market. Obviously it would be better if the person building the model understood the mechanisms... but that takes time and money. If you're managing 30 models, that might not be worth it. |
