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?

    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
