The criteria is:

  • preponderance of referenced documentation describing what that opportunity is (internal or external to OAI).

Note, as of now the the preponderance of information points to a conflict in ‘safety’ between parties. ‘Safety’ is a proxy term to AGI.

@MoMoadeli will you be resolving this, or did it close too early?

predictedYES

@chrisjbillington the question's fuzzy...i resolved on % to keep it fair.

predictedNO

This seems like a clear miss-resolution.

@SneakySly yeah, it is now unresolved and the creator is re-opening

Why was this resolved to YES? How do you know this is why Sam was fired?

predictedYES

@firstuserhere Twitter is rife over the past 24 hrs regarding secretive Q* model success.

@MoMoadeli Twitter was rife with wild conspiracy theories for the 24 hours before that. Doesn't mean they're correct.

And even if the Q* model's success is a huge leap in capabilities, we still can't (yet) say whether that was somehow related to the firing of Sam Altman

predictedYES

@firstuserhere I believe Twitter was mostly correct all along and the ‘final’ analysis simply brought everything together. Note:

@MoMoadeli In fact, there's a market for exactly the question of whether Q* was related to his firing, and it's very low

@MoMoadeli That video is not evidence of anything.

predictedYES

@firstuserhere Then we don’t have any evidence one way or another. What do you suggest I should do otherwise?

@MoMoadeli Keep the market open until we have evidence! I think it's better to be correct than early.

Or, set a date when you will resolve to the best of your judgement if no new evidence comes out

predictedYES

@firstuserhere How do reopen?

@MoMoadeli There should be an UNRESOLVE button available for you. I think it stays for 10 minutes after resolution. If that's gone, I think a mod like @Eliza could reopen the market for you. No harm done

predictedYES

@firstuserhere I don’t see an unresolved. @Eliza

@MoMoadeli Reopened. You can set a new closing date based on when you expect the market to resolve. I highly recommend writing some criteria in the description.

@MoMoadeli you should be able to set the new close date by clicking on the "6 mins ago" thing on the right side, as shown in the screenshot

predictedYES

Technically, yes. Things point to reaching AGI at this stage.
