at the time of market creation I'm in the #1 spot in my league with 13 days remaining. I have a few brazen bets that I'm too stubborn to back out of, choosing instead to go on vibes (and hopes and enduring anxiety) that they will resolve in my favour at the end of the year.

still, despite absurdist behaviour (why am I like this?) will I manage to close 2023 in the top position in the Gold League?

bought Ṁ100 of YES

@mattyb one rat says yes, another rat says no, and I'm just here doubling down on theoreticals as usual 😉

sold Ṁ3 of NO

@shankypanky ftr, you’ve got two Masters on your side of the table, never a bad place to be

predicted YES

@mattyb good thing it's not a round table or you'd have nowhere to sit!

predicted NO

@shankypanky what happened with Lex Friedman?

@mattyb my fingers are only fast in ways that work against me lol

predicted NO
predicted YES

@mattyb (but also false alarm so don't base this market off that glitch)

bought Ṁ30 of NO

@shankypanky are you not -1.5k profit?

predicted YES

oh god oh god oh god

@Joshua why didn't I listen to you?

who would have thought putting all my eggs in an unhinged antisemite's basket would backfire?

predicted YES

@shankypanky Still #1 though!

predicted YES

@Joshua selling these bets gave me "how am I gonna pay my rent?" anxiety and I had to remind myself it's not real money 😅

predicted YES

Just don't double down on Ye and this seems very likely

never thought my future would be so heavily influenced by the reliability of an unhinged antisemite but here we are

predicted YES

@shankypanky Big Mood

(I also invested pretty heavily and unapologetically on the idea that Isaac won't find any member of e/acc to be intelligent or intellectually honest by the end of the year 😅)

@Joshua yo 😅 this market can be my aspirational 2024 level of hubris

@Joshua okay but honest question: where's the best place to track DAU and, given both Elon and Zuck have reason to tell as positive a story as possible, how can we be sure an integrous (or any) report will come? I see a lot of articles and references but not anything concrete?

predicted YES

@shankypanky

Yeah there's not a great source to be regularly checking, but Meta is a public company so they can't just make up DAU numbers. And if Elon exaggerates DAUs then that makes the market even less likely to resolve yes. Metaculus is at 1%.

say no more 🏃
(also, it's an election year - I know twitter is down in DAU this year but I think the election run up alone will raise it)
