Same as https://manifold.markets/BenjaminCosman/if-scott-alexander-enters-the-2023, except that Scott just has to be one of the finalists instead of one of the top 3.

If Scott is a finalist and he reveals the process he used to select finalists including himself, then if in my judgement he gave himself a much easier threshold for selection (e.g. he just declared himself a finalist by fiat), this resolves N/A. (If however it is only slightly easier, e.g. under the 2022 rules if he'd received a 7/10 in the initial voting and then selected himself as a finalist, it would still resolve YES.)
