🔮 An AI won the Metaculus seasonal forecasters’ cup for the first time. Machines placed 1-th, 2-th and 5-th, humans placed 3-th and 4-th.

One system earned 6% on a portfolio of $100 thousand on the Kalshi prediction market. Another developer turned $35 into $1,94 million in seven months. The winning bot was built by one engineer in under 150 hours and for a few thousand dollars.

A forecast from top human superforecasters can cost over $10 thousand and take a week. A machine produces it in ten minutes and for a few dollars. This is already a separate market, not a capabilities demo.

🔮 ШІ вперше виграв сезонний кубок прогнозистів Metaculus. Машини посіли 1-ше, 2-ге і 5-те місця, люди - 3-тє та 4-те.

Одна система заробила 6% на портфелі у $100 тис. на ринку прогнозів Kalshi. Інший розробник перетворив $35 на $1,94 млн за сім місяців. Переможний бот створив один інженер менш ніж за 150 годин і кілька тисяч доларів.

Прогноз від людських суперпрогнозистів може коштувати понад $10 тис. і тривати тиждень. Машина робить його за десять хвилин і кілька доларів. Це вже окремий ринок, а не демонстрація можливостей.

✍️ The Economist writes about the return of handwriting. After a nationwide American program 2010 years ago pushed cursive aside in favor of the keyboard, more than half of the states have already brought it back to schools. Studies show that writing activates brain regions associated with learning and memory, and also helps reading, spelling, and fine motor skills. But there is far less evidence that joined-up letters are better than ordinary handwriting; the main practical advantage of cursive...

🇺🇸🇨🇳 By the way, on the topic of the US and China….. 🇹🇼 The US and Taiwan are preparing a “hellscape” for a possible Chinese landing.
