90% chance of resolving to market probs; 10% chance (through RNG), I reach out to folks and look to average the opinions of a sample of AI x-risk ~macrostrategy folks (aiming for ~30% from frontier lab alignment and governance teams; ~15% each for relevant GovAI + Rethink Priorities + Open Philanthropy researchers; ~12.5% for each of Eliezer Yudkowsky and Buck Shlegris).

Will make a good faith effort to iterate on resolution criteria in response to feedback during first week.

@MartinRandall Not familiar/haven't thought about the intricacies of when markets should be closed, has anyone written up something on this? :)

What resolution should the AI pick if "we" are all dead due to said AI?

@Jason I think the AI should resolve this based on whether the letter helped or harmed or chances, based on log-odds "dignity points". So doubling our chances from 0% to 0% would count as helping. But halving our chances from 0% to 0% would count as harming.
