It costs 1000M to create markets now, which has led some people to stop creating markets. In the comment section below, you can:

  1. create a new comment with some specific market idea

  2. heart <3 market ideas you like

  3. reply/collaborate on some existing market idea

  4. for the benefit of all, create some market in the comments, and link it there so that others can see it and benefit from it

That way, people can share what markets they'd like to have exist, without requiring them to pay the mana! If there's enough interest, someone else will surely create the market.

The market resolves YES when 20 market ideas turn into actual markets in the comments below. duplicates/daily markets will count for 1. If the market resolves YES, I'll make a new one, most likely.

Resolves NO, otherwise, at the end of july.

Will mr beast's most popular video have over 1 billion views, by the end of 2025? currently 617M

I want a market made about something like whether people will continue their performative overconfidence about P(doom) and other ai-politically-charged questions of credence. In latest news, EA forum post https://forum.effectivealtruism.org/posts/GfGxaPBAMGcYjv8Xd/i-bet-greg-colbourn-10-keur-that-ai-will-not-kill-us-all-by with p(doom)=1e-7, and dr. roman yampolskiy on twitter with p(doom) = 99.999999%. I wish these people would be less absurd, and would like a market to exist to quantify whether they would become less absurd, or whether famous movement leaders and somesuch would have less absurd probabilities a few years down the line

@Bayesian holy shit if yud is telling you your P(doom) is too high you've seriously fucked up 😆

Should 100M markets count for the purpose of this market? I would think so even though it's a bit of a gotcha; open to disagreement

market like "will 20 manifold api services be made from users on this market to other users on this market, by the end of july?" where the idea is that you can ask "please send me a python script that fetches all my positions ordered by size where loans are not included in the size, I'll pay you 500M or 1000M or 5000M or wtv for that info" and boom, people without as much technical expertise can trade with those who do

Will a prediction market platform have shares backed in some asset that grows in value over time, to price long term question markets better, before 2030 or 2035 or wtv else

markets about play markets, like will they go up in price, will some incentives be fixed about them, etc

Lots of markets about the predictions in this series of essays https://situational-awareness.ai

Market about the best quotes of all time (Greatest Q.O.A.T.s)

Market about the best puns

@Bayesian Market about best jokes

that bounty was not successful

Market about the most Incredible Thought in the song Incredible Thoughts

Peer review market: Someone shares a draft of a paper, users add MC options with possible revisions, which resolve YES if the changes are accepted

Hurricane intensity markets: when a tropical depression forms (or maybe is marked as an invest), have a multiple choice market to forecast its strength

I was planning on creating one of these for every storm this year, but the pivot has made that a lot more difficult...might still be able to afford it if I close early and users are bad at it, but it probably wouldn't get much attention closing early.

Manifold chooses: Best superpowers. like the goat markets, successive duels:


Some options:
immortality

path to victory

flight

mind control

etc

Alternatively, the format could be linked MC, where people can add options. after like a month, there's a poll to determine which superpower is coolest

Which manifold user will have the most prize points on DATE

Will the US' military budget be used to train an AI system smarter than GPT-4, before 2026/2027/2028/2029/2030

@Bayesian It is done

Will OpenAI get nationalized before 2028/2030/2032

2024 Manifold University Rankings

Vote on various options for higher education (or alternatives)

resolves to % based on holders?

Will someone create a debate market on a particular subject, resolved by polling anyone who commented, by the end of June?

was thinking this as an alternative to my last debate market. idea is you pick a contentious subject for users to debate in the comments & see if manifold can reach a consensus by the close date

Will someone create a Manifold Casino Bot by the end of June?

Will an explicitly gamble-y market (coin-flip-like, not sports, etc) become a prize point market, by the end of June?
