(ai rendition, notice the glasses hidden behind the ipad)
some users want to go but can't/aren't. i might help one or some of them feel like they are there by duct taping an ipad to my face while video calling them on the ipad and then i will walk around and follow orders like "move forward, stop. eat that cupcake, sit in that chair, sit on that object, stand on that object, balance 1 footed on that object, attempt meet the CEO of substack"
i might do it for 5 minutes, might do it for 50, might do not do it, who knows? i have to do it for at least 5 minutes for it to count as YES.
doesn't have to be an ipad specifically, could be any similar device, even a phone. doesn't have to be duct tape, can be any tape, strap, or anything that gets the videocall device onto my face. precise execution isn't the point here.
if you are reading this right now, are not attending manifest, and want me to do this for you, let me know and ill see what i can do. if this market somehow gets tons of YES votes then I am inclined to make it happen.
i will not bet in this market.
Update 2025-06-03 (PST) (AI summary of creator comment): The creator specified that the market will not resolve to YES if the activity performed is merely a video call or stream (e.g., to the Manifold Discord) without the core components of:
Attaching a device to their face (as per the market description: "duct tape an ipad to my face", or similar with "any tape, strap, or anything that gets the videocall device onto my face")
Being 'puppeteered' (i.e., "walk around and follow orders" as detailed in the market description)
These core components are required for a YES resolution.
Update 2025-06-03 (PST) (AI summary of creator comment): In response to a question about device placement, the creator indicated there is potential wiggle room for the "on the face" requirement. As an example of this flexibility, they mentioned the possibility of using an iPad necklace where the device is periodically held up to the face. This would be a way to address practical concerns like visibility while still aiming to meet the core 'on the face' criterion.

Duct tape is on the ipad. I have already videocalled @TheAllMemeingEye but it was a jenky, not sure if it was a full 5 minutes, the connection was poor, and I didn’t get any pics of me wearing the duct taped ipad. I plan to try again in an hour and a half or so and wear the ipad for a few more minutes and also get a picture of it.
@Quroe can you confirm whether a terrible fate has befallen him? perhaps devoured by a swarm of angry raccoons?
@TheAllMemeingEye Sorry, didn't see this until now.
At the very least, I saw him with a an iPad with duct tape on it in hand. That's what prompted my bet to 98%, allowing for a 2% chance of him failing to find a puppeteer.
@TheAllMemeingEye a risk employee is never late, nor is he early, he arrives precisely when his clients need him to arrive.
