Lend your brain to Ukraine! Glimt is a joint project of the Swedish and Ukrainian governments, powered by Hypermind, open to everyone. Perhaps the first use case of crowd forecasting as a weapon of war against evil. Join us here: https://t.co/76mNu4Az7t

Alea jacta est !

Final pre-election day forecast landscape. Skilled forecasters give an edge to Harris. Betting markets (except PredictIt) give an edge to Trump. Statistical models occupy the toss-up middle-ground.

[E J Servan-Schreiber @emiless2012]

I have a feeling this will not even be close.

[Hypermind @Hypermind_com]

Harris' chances continued to improve overnight.

Interestingly, the US-based mrkts give her better odds (51% avrg) than the foreign-based mrkts (46% avrg).

She's the favorite of the skilled forecasters panels (Hypermind, Good Judgment, Metaculus), with 55% probability avrg.

The October Trump bubble seems blown.

Accelerating Kamalamentum in the last few days before the vote.

@Leucoium_vernum @robinhanson Very few random frenchmen have this kind of money. My guess is that he's a Russian national with a recent French passport, as in Pavel @durov

[E J Servan-Schreiber @emiless2012]

It looks like there is consensus on Harris trending back up in the final stretch. @Hypermind_com is still the most optimistic for her vs @polymarket the most pessimistic.

Herding behavior or crowd wisdom? There is cognitive diversity in the sense that all these platforms operate quite differently (geography, demographics, rewards, etc.). Yet, they may not think really independently of each other (except 538).

[Hypermind @Hypermind_com]

It is remarkable that our prediction market is now (Oct 26) the only crowd-forecasting or statistical model that still gives Kamala Harris slightly more chances of winning (54%) than losing. All others are now favoring Trump more or less boldly.

There's plenty of dumb money out there.

[Hypermind @Hypermind_com]

Are the "real money" markets out of line?

[E J Servan-Schreiber @emiless2012]

In today's Wapo, @IgnatiusPost mentions an intelligence estimate that looks very much like an OVERestimate compared to the prediction market's at the time. Just one data point, of course, but it's so rare to be able to compare these things...

[E J Servan-Schreiber @emiless2012]

Voting for president in NY state isn’t super impactful, but it feels good anyway.

[Hypermind @Hypermind_com]

The 2nd assassination attempt on #Trump has had no impact on his chances to win the election as estimated by our prediction market. This is in stark contrast to the uplift he got from the first attempt. #newnormal ?

[E J Servan-Schreiber @emiless2012]

@realDonaldTrump is sooo predictable!

[Pop Crave @PopCrave]

Donald Trump shares new post:

“I HATE TAYLOR SWIFT!”

[E J Servan-Schreiber @emiless2012]

@PavelDAtanasov So @Hypermind_com bumped Harris from 60% to 65% post debate. How will you know whether that is an over or under or proper reaction ?

[E J Servan-Schreiber @emiless2012]

@fadouce Les marchés prédictifs ont basculés en faveur de Harris depuis bien longtemps. @Hypermind_com depuis le 23 juillet, suivi de tous les autres une semaine plus tard. :)

[E J Servan-Schreiber @emiless2012]

Tired playbook?

[Hypermind @Hypermind_com]

Our prediction market thinks that @realDonaldTrump's chances of winning back the White House (33%) are lower than at the same point in time in 2020 (37%) and 2016 (40%). @KamalaHarris @VP is in better position to win than Clinton (pre-Access Hollywood tape) or Biden were.

[E J Servan-Schreiber @emiless2012]

Oh, the irony!

[Hypermind @Hypermind_com]

Today, on our prediction market Trump's chances of winning back the White House reached a new low, about 33%. In fact, they are as low as Biden's chances on the day that he dropped out of the race in July.

[E J Servan-Schreiber @emiless2012]

I wish X would offer an "unserious" or "weird" feedback button in addition to "like".

[E J Servan-Schreiber @emiless2012]

@hendrycks I believe in the potential of AI forecasting, so much so that @Hypermind_com went public with its own a few days ago: https://t.co/XtxcQspMYk
However, prediction markets, crowd forecasting and AI forecasters do not serve the same customer needs at all. They will coexist nicely.
