Will we burn all this firewood before AGI?

My family has a cottage that we go up to somewhat infrequently but much more frequently in the last two years. This market will resolve yes if these 3 face cords of wood we just bought are all burned before we get AGI.

Feel free to ask clarifying questions.

  • Update 2025-06-16 (PST) (AI summary of creator comment): The creator has specified that the definition for AGI will be determined by the resolution of the following market: @/ManifoldAI/agi-when-resolves-to-the-year-in-wh-d5c5ad8e4708

This market either resolves when we burn all the wood (before AGI) or when we get AGI.

  • Update 2025-06-16 (PST) (AI summary of creator comment): The creator has confirmed that the market only pertains to the initial 3 face cords of wood. If the wood supply is replenished, the new wood will be kept separate and will not affect this market's resolution.

How do you define AGI?

I would like to propose this market as our standard:

/ManifoldAI/agi-when-resolves-to-the-year-in-wh-d5c5ad8e4708

@Quroe Yes this market can be the standard.

Are those standard four foot pallets?

If so I hope there you got more wood in your three cord load (1 cord = 4' x 8' x 4').

@PaulBenjaminPhotographer I made a typo in the question. It's 3 face cords so ~1 full cord. Good eye!

@Quroe 1) it's tough to estimate but i'd say maybe 4-5 a week if i average over the whole year 2) yup 3) if you count some AI safety research by the fire as furthering development, then yes :)

@elongatedmuskrat it may be slightly less, maybe 3-4. i don't have good data for this unfortunately. i'm kind of just trying to eyeball it based off of memory. we also only burn in the winter months so that complicated things.

@elongatedmuskrat That's good enough for me to work with!

I think 73% at time of comment looks just about right with some rough Fermi estimations and using the AGI market as a reference for baseline odds.

I am being conservative and could've probably bet NO a little harder, but frankly, I'm no AI expert, so we're playing with wide error bars.

@Quroe i love the bold bet

@elongatedmuskrat Bold!? This is my held-back bet!

@Quroe lol then i love the held back bet

@elongatedmuskrat Just to clarify, if you replenish your wood supply, it will be kept sequestered from this stash, correct?

@Quroe yes
