resolves YES when P vs NP is resolved or NO when man lands on Mars, whichever comes first

resolution of P vs NP is a proof or disproof of P≠NP accepted by the mathematical community

man lands on Mars when a live human body is separated from the Mars surface only by like a solid thing, such as a spaceship or spacesuit (edit: or both of course, but touching each other)

AI seems advancing fast enough on stuff like math proofs that it's plausible it'll do it in the next decade or two, mars landing seems much further off.

predicts YES

@ShakedKoplewitz my reasoning too :)

predicts YES

why did it settle onto 20% like it's some true probability lmao

@warty Huh?

predicts YES

@IsaacKing I was trying to nudge it but it felt like people decided it's 20 and would buy down. Well now there's some movement :) @MartinRandall don't think it applies here ;)

From your description, sounds like it can be any person, not necessarily limited to a “man”, yes?

@JimHays man is synonymous with humankind

predicts NO

@daniel There’s more inclusive synonyms though

I bet YES but then realized that we' could zolve this one easy by just landing a really big lego tower on marz with a guy standing on top of it so that's what I'm betting happens.

@IsaacKing this is already a joke market but that one is really pushing it 😂

Why does this close in 4 days?

predicts YES

@AnlAnar thanks, edited

my reasoning: idk about spacex progress but I'm not getting man-on-mars-soon vibes. but agi will come in a minute and solve math

@warty what if math is so hard that even with significantly qualitatively improved intelligence, an ai wouldn't be able to break new ground on the P=NP question ;)

... I mean, I mostly agree with you, though.
