Why should we expect you to give us good solutions?

Incentive-wise, because I want to get paid. Mechanically, is there a particular kind of evidence you'd be happy with?

Idk something concrete, measurable.

Unfortunately part of what I'm doing here is trying to build that up. I could give you my resume as a software engineer, but I'm not sure how well that indicates this kind of general problem solving ability. If it helps, someone at Manifest told me they had heard that I'm "an unusually smart person".

To be clear, I'm envisioning less of "I draw up a plan and you have to trust that it's a good one" and more of "I make a change happen in the world and you can verify it".

Okay, make it so that I'm 12 dollars richer. I'll give you 10 dollars.

Nice lol. I'm gonna decline but that's sufficient to rule out resolution to the first option

I'll give you $10 if you make Yann LeCun vs Eliezer Yudkowsky AI debate happen this month.

What kind of problems are you effective at solving? And what kind of pay are you generally accepting?

I use general intelligence to chart paths through causality to desired world states. My effectiveness is historically unproven, which is why I'm not asking for any advance payment. Pay of course depends on the problem, but I'll consider any offer of $10 or more.

I will pay you 100 mana if you can convince the Manifold team to permanently bring back normal bounties

Oh I should clarify the description, this isn't about M$ bounties
