@Shump They’re linking people to the challenge site in the comments and I don’t know why they would do a big push this week if an anticlimax was on the way, from a marketing perspective.
@fortenforge You're right, I haven't noticed this. I interpreted a cryptic message from the founders to mean there is still no submission, but it's just an interpretation
@LarsDoucet YOLO it on markets that have liquidity and limit orders (like GPT-4 solving sudokus consistently or @firstuserhere walking 100k steps). You're too smart to bet this up to 98% </3
Yes or at least give traders a chance to bet against you before spending the entire amount. I would have bought more NO at a much worse price
@fortenforge Buying it up from 66 to 98 only got me 1,565 shares above my baseline (20K)
Totally worth it lol
