He does not have to be the sole figure on the cover for it to count.

It does not have to be a photo or photorealistic to count - stylized depictions of Eliezer will count.

International/regional editions of magazines count so long as they are official and released in print.

@Tripping How was this list generated?

@EliTyre Some publications were chosen because they could sound somewhat plausible, other publications were chosen because I thought they would be funny for people to consider, and in general I wanted to abuse a phenomenon Eliezer described once, where when you break a question into lots of distinct possible outcomes Reality is very impressed with how disjunctive it all sounds and allocates more probability.

Teen Vogue for sure

predicts NO

If he is literally printed on the cover of money (for example, one of the next euro bills), does that count?

@jskf nope, has to be the cover of Money magazine, which itself has to relaunch a print version

predicts NO

@Tripping What if the bill itself appears on the cover of one of the magazines?

@jskf Then that counts!
