RT @DeryaTR_: Yes, I just made two offers: you can either concede & admit you were wrong & not pay, or we raise the bet 10x & wait until the end of 2025.
But if you’re unsure, we can keep it as is too. I just didn’t want you to suffer & stress for so long knowing you are so wrong & will lose☺️

This is getting a lot of traffic. A really critical part of the bet is being missed by most readers: Our bet was about valuation *at end of 2025*.

If e.g., OpenAI doesn’t ship GPT-5 by the end of 2025 - or if GPT-5 is disappointing - or if someone else overtakes them - they have a problem.

"Two men charged with insider dealing in Britain" (Reuters)

FCA press release stated the two made a profit of £110k over 5 years (2016-20)

The two are in their 40s
Neither name appears on the FCA register

This is likely to be another case of ancillary staff doing small trades https://t.co/n1NsVPEv7F

I admire Glenn Shafer’s choice to leave his name & title off this PDF — a challenge to the reader to evaluate the work purely on its substance.

Few people with fervent beliefs have a solid epistemic foundation to justify their level of certainty. There's often a disconnect between how sure they feel and how sure they ought to be if they followed sound reasoning.

When you look at who they're proxying their sense-making to, it becomes clear that they rarely defer to those who conducted the original research.

Even among those researchers, there’s often disagreement, potential funding influences, and the presence of epistemic biases.
