What would y'all like to hear on a potential fifth episode? Any suggestions are welcome!
If and when @Imbens and I do an Ep 5 (not a guarantee) [EDIT: We're planning to record an episode featuring @SG, @Austin, and maybe other members of the Manifold team!], I will award the bounty to the different suggestions in proportion to how much I subjectively feel they influenced the episode.
Topics of previous episodes (from memory):
Ep 1: Live closing-soon betting, terrible sound quality
Ep 2: Manifold's rise at Proof School, calibration
Ep 3: Self-resolving markets, dating markets, personal goal markets, Audrey
Ep 4: Chaotic Manifold trivia game at the beach with many people, Rachel and Austin's wedding
[EDIT: THE EPISODE HAS NOW BEEN RECORDED AND NEW SUGGESTIONS ARE MOOT! I'll award the bounties once it's edited and released.]
some topic ideas: the rebrand of markets as questions (and whether you need to rebrand as the Question Manipulation Podcast), Manifold’s name backstory, the upcoming Manifest conference, Austin’s relationship markets, dogfooding, Manifund, Stephen's prediction market inspiration, Wobbles' shenanigans, Sinclair's hot takes, catgirls among us, and James' theory about what Manifold will look like in a million years. also you should ask them to predict the chances Crystal Ballin' releases another episode by september
also you should make phoebe bridgers your theme music. or possibly ME!, can't decide. they're like, of equal quality
So, the podcast ended up having exactly 2083 seconds, so since no one gave any big-picture suggestions, and that was so close to the original bounty amount, I feel like it's fair to give people one mana per second! For all the seconds where we discussed things not mentioned on this market, I'm bountying it to my alt account, who will then managram it back to me. Thanks to all of your suggestions! Sorry not all of them made it in.
