To be clear, your proposal does not include a prediction market of any sort, just AI automated operationalizations + user voted results?
I think giving twitter users some internet points they can use to bet on the markets, like with manifold, may just work. But it's possible that the public won't use that ir like that compared to user voting.
Is there some kind of "get prediction markets, or predictions, onto twitter as a central object" project going? If so, how is it going?
I'm thinking through "how to raise median sanity" on a world scale. There are several incentive and institutional problems that make this very difficult. One angle is "try to make it a thing that the world tracks and cares about your predictions, and getting them right/wrong."
Two past angles here were:
An idea for a twitter feature, which I think Musk should conceptually like given his stated values, and, I think he might have enough inertia to get behind, is:
So, the final result will give a succinct "do The People think this resolved true?", which is some kind of percentage score that takes into account "how much it seems true to people" (if it's ambiguous / on-a-spectrum), and controversial the answer is. (TODO: figure out good mathy operationalization that is robust to partisanship)
But then, immediately underneath that, is a list of citations/evidence, so even if something is ambiguous, it's as easy as possible to see concrete facts related to it. (Also with community-notes-esque voting on relevance)
"Have you successfully made good predictions" is a badge / leaderboard that is optimized to be fun and rewarding.
The "community-notes-for-vague-prediction-resolution" mechanic could be implemented by Manifold or Metaculus or LessWrong or whoever, but, I think it's a lot more useful if it's on twitter. (tho maybe good to test it out on these places to iron kinks out and prototype UI).
My impression of the landscape is "Musk did really care about but truth, and believes in community notes in particular, but also went crazy after buying twitter. The Community Notes team is a small fiefdom he trusts and still believes in." So, insofar as this is pitched as an extension of that, might be doable.
