Manifest 2024 will take place June 7th to June 9th in Berkely California. This market is for prop bets about the event! Note that all bets are about the conference itself and not the summer camp.

Add anything that you think would be

  • Fun to predict, might or might not happen

  • Reasonably simple to track whether it happened or not (nothing too hard to count)

  • Respects people's privacy (Let people make their own "will I get laid" markets, don't make one for them)

I intend to attend, and I'll resolve everything I can. But any staff or mods are welcome to resolve any options as well, as prop bet markets are hard for any one person to manage.

Market close will be extended as necessarily if the dates change.

For markets about who will attend, I've made this market:

There's also this for just special guests:

@Nikos i think this resolves yes? p sure barak had a humane ai pin

there's a comment below

@schlongenheim resolves yes :/

@alexlitz this resolves YES, right?

I had said previously that everything has to happen/be reported before market close, so I don't think we should go back and re-resolve things in most cases.

Manifold is a startup that runs Manifund, a prediction market

🤦

ooh how did you know this was coming?

shame it didn't come out while we were all there not only for the prop bets but for the in-person lols

austin posted in the discord on june 7

Austin had mentioned it I believe in relation to them calling him.

despite attending manifest & not attending LO/SC, my profit in the two prop bet markets were ~basically the exact same

seems there's no alpha in actually knowing stuff, ignorance is bliss

@Ziddletwix I didn’t attend either and made a 10% profit here and a 100% profit on the LessOnline market just from betting No on everything

Alright, with no testimonials in their favor I've resolved the final options to NO. Thanks for participating, everyone!

I commented that I saw someone in a full fursuit around 9pm at a campfire at glass hall in public. I was sitting with Anthony (?) and others.

Which night and what do you count as a full fursuit? The rainbow unicorn onesie doesn't count.

Yeah, it was a rainbow onesie with an actual fursuit head and hands. I asked Joshua if it counted at the time, and he said it didnt.

What's the time cutoff for these? closing ceremony, afterparty?

@MichaelWheatley until Joshua fell asleep (~2am he called it a night)

@barak you didn't come through here?

@ian I'm told he only wore it at Less Online, not Manifest

@Joshua clever boy

@Joshua this is correct. I did not put the humane ai pin on during manifest despite being asked to ... on a mostly unrelated note the charging case has been recalled for fire risk. But mostly i wanted to focus attention on American Politics Company

Reopening betting to incentivize accurate reporting of final three answers. Submissions are closed.

Actually, this happened!

@Joshua Can’t believe I added that question before the 10x devaluing 😂
