I will add suggestions if you post them in the comments and they don't overlap.

I will choose the "primary" thing he's doing. This may cause problems, so let's talk about it early if you suspect this might happen.

Nice I did better than 2 of you!

Guess who's back, back again?

Sam is back, tell a friend

(for real, the slim shady thing was so brazenly mutually beneficial, I don't see how the US 2-party system survived it)

I am never gonna financially recover from this.

Well if I bought big at 95% I'm certainly not going to sell at 3%, that would be breaking the rules of economics twice. Perhaps OpenAI will simply stop existing in the next two months

sold Ṁ102 of Back at OpenAI YES

@JonathanRay this one's cheap af

It could be cool to have markets like this for Elon gates Biden etc

Maybe judge them this way: at judge date, gather fifty news articles, the ask an LLM to evaluate each answer to 0-100% based on the article contents

Added a couple options

bought Ṁ50 of Other YES

In jail or prison

@Undox Done thanks

Dead.

@TruthGPT this is what I mean by permanent retirement

Jesus. Now if I sold my Microsoft shares it would be only at 7%. This seems very odd that it should be this low

@TiredCliche Sure, but how long would it stay at 7% when people have the chance to buy at such low levels? I keep seeing this argument, and think it's quite uninformative.

@HenriThunberg that's probably true, i'm just feeling the pain. At this point I may as well hold.

bought Ṁ25 of Working with Microsoft YES

@TiredCliche I just bought back in, having lost a lot (for me), if it helps. Fingers crossed. MS looks like they're actively trying to poach right now!

Working with Microsoft

Wouldn’t this technically be true even if he goes back to OpenAI?

sold Ṁ207 of Back at OpenAI YES

@SantiagoRomeroBrufau against the spirit of the question, so no

sold Ṁ58 of A new AI company he ... YES

Polymarket has Sam at 53% at OpenAI (vs 37% on this market): https://polymarket.com/event/sam-back-as-ceo-of-openai

@JonasVollmer Polymarket has consistently hovered around 10% above manifolds for many hours (maybe days but only noticed it hours ago, tried arb, and didnt rly work. Ig poly might just be wrong)

sold Ṁ69 of A new AI company he ... YES

@TheBayesian Or Manifold is wrong and he's actually not that likely to join Microsoft? :)

@JonasVollmer Yeah for sure :p but whoever knows that can make $$$

@TheBayesian The spread is gigantic on Polymarket, 28%? Why aren't people making it tighter? I don't remember other Polymarket markets having such a wide spread.

@dominic Huh, it was just 5c when I last checked

@TheBayesian today is the first time that polymarket has consistently priced P(altman returns) higher than manifold. over the weekend manifold was about 10c higher

@nmehndir Ah, interesting! Not sure what’s going on with all that

@JonasVollmer if I sold all my Microsoft it would be at 14%

bought Ṁ0 of Working with Microsoft YES

@TiredCliche If you want to do so, I just put up a limit order!

@Joshua for 50 mana ... Nice try

@TiredCliche Oh wow, this market is actually a lot more liquid than I thought.

sold Ṁ32 of Working with Microsoft YES

@Joshua Yeah, I'm 29% of the liquidity :'(

bought Ṁ0 of Working with Microsoft YES

@TiredCliche Upped my order to 500 if you want to cut your losses.
