For April Fools, Lesswrong is paying users $1 for each comment karma and $3 for each post karma, the joke being that the "Good Heart" tokens will lead to people optimising for a proxy of value (Lesswrong upvotes) rather than actual value (good content). This actually kinda worked, so they extended it for a week. https://www.lesswrong.com/posts/meYCJHJQDDGh5nSN2/good-heart-week-extending-the-experiment When first introduced, the cap was $600 (12%), later increased to $1000 (20%). They claim "If people start getting to 1000, we will consider raising it further, but no promises". Will this occur?

Resolved at 20% because the cap was announced at $1000 and there were no updates since. https://www.lesswrong.com/posts/meYCJHJQDDGh5nSN2/good-heart-week-extending-the-experiment
Day 6/7: lc has reached $947 and johnswentworth has reached $806 so it seems more plausible that someone will reach the cap.
Day 5/7: EY at $900 for terrifying us all (PS read the late-2021 MIRI conversations for the truth, which is only a little less worrying), runners up at ~$500, probably not many people will be able to rub up against the limit in the time left.
