@_ZaricX I think the oracle is meant to be between data & blockchain but in this story the oracle is between world & data

The oracle problem

[@aaronjmars @aaronjmars]

holy fuck, a hair dryer at a Paris airport broke Polymarket weather markets & made someone $34,000 richer

- polymarket was settling Paris temperature bets on a single Météo France sensor sitting near the Charles de Gaulle runway perimeter - basically unguarded

- the guy bought the long-shot outcome (like "22°C" when everyone expected 18°C) for pennies, since nobody thought it'd hit

- then he walked up to the probe and briefly heated the air around it with a portable heat source, spiking the reading just long enough to register as the daily max

- temperature snapped back to normal in minutes, the market resolved in his favor, and he cashed out - twice, on April 6 and April 15, before Météo France caught on and filed charges

hyperstitions.

@Noahbolanowski I haven’t watched this video in a minute, but wasn’t it cars that he sold to Anil?

I really have to congratulate my colleagues at @newmuseum - the new building is stunning, and the exhibition is incredible. Frankly I don’t know how they pulled it off! Hit me up for impromptu coffees and ad hoc exhibition tours.
