This resolves to YES if Manifolds adds a new answer type that allows people to enter a date as a prediction, similar to Metaculus. (e.g. https://www.metaculus.com/questions/3479/date-weakly-general-ai-system-is-devised/) Note: the new answer type does not need to support a continuous range, like Metaculus', but must be a distinct answer type from the existing types. The current answer types are "Yes/No" and "Free Response".
Sep 5, 8:05am: To clarify from a comment thread: I would resolve YES for "scalar" or "range" answer types, as long as dates are explicitly supported -- e.g. a datepicker in the UI

Now that numeric markets are back, I think they'd map pretty well to date/time input. (e.g. markets like https://manifold.markets/dglid/on-what-day-of-2022-will-we-sell-ou)
Would a scalar/numeric type that works well for dates also be counted here? We've discussed something like a numeric/scalar type, eg having multiple exclusive categories you can bet on: https://manifold.markets/Austin/how-will-range-markets-work-in-mani
Dates are a bit weirder though, because they resolve continuously -- maybe a good fit for continuous partial resolution https://manifold.markets/MartinRandall/will-partial-resolution-of-yesno-ma
