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?
first comment:
The response from Habryka points out several factual inaccuracies, but I don’t see anything that directly refutes the core issue the article brings up. I recognize that engaging with the substance of the allegations might be awkward and difficult, not constituting “winning” in the rationalist sense.
dutifully downvoted to -6 of course
One problem with discussing this is that we here arguably have an asymmetric discourse situation.
"I’d like to tell you my thoughts on these various eugenicists, but they would be repulsive, fedposts, impossible to convey accurately in public discourse.
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.
Imagine being such losers that you get owned by the fucking Guardian, and as your brilliant followup, you start screaming “I’M NOT OWNED”
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 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.
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?
