    Is there any way to make the monument noisy as fuck and wildly carcinogenic for those living nearby?

    How about something visible from space so it shows up when flown over and more importantly, when satellite maps are updated.

    Grasses / trees planted in a shape or phrase would be cool.

    Who wants to fuck with Elon Musk?

    Kalshi odds are saying most people think Elon’s hoping for the answer to be “children.”

        Well, it’s the aggregated opinion of people who use the site. Kalshi doesn’t set the price; people making the bets set the price based on the odds others are willing to accept.

        There’s a sampling bias for sure, but since the odds given for this bet are based on how much people are willing to pay for that bet, this gives a very good approximation for how people actually feel about something.

        It actually ends up being more reliable than most opinion polls in that way.

          Besides the fact they nobody knows what is being done behind the scenes to ensure results are (or aren’t) fair, using a sample of individuals that are all attempting to play the system against each other deeply and irreparably biases the data.

          On top of that, jokes like the one I responded to and comments like yours only serve to legitimize a “service” thats sole purpose is to squeeze every penny from its users. It doesn’t provide anything beneficial to anyone but its owners.

            If the contract isn’t something that meets the criteria for an efficient market, then yeah, it’s not something that can be used to give reasonable probabilities.

            But for something like, winner of the democratic presidential primary, or the proce of gold in a month… the it’s genuinely a better predictive model than what a statistician would be able to come up with.

            It doesn’t provide anything beneficial to anyone but its owners.

            For statistics purposes, it gives me something incredibly beneficial. Simply by knowing the price of a contract, I can know with decent accuracy how likely something is to happen.

            If you’re not in the field, you wouldn’t necessarily appreciate how valuable that is.

    There are so many psychos in America, hard to pick one. I would rather send Sam Altman a message, I believe he is the sickest of all of them.

    In my opinion, Musk is so worthless, that he doesn’t deserve any sort of monument or anything of that sort. I’ve known so many losers! Do they get a monument? Naaah, they’re just the butt of gossip and that’s the end of it.

    I know Musk is more damaging, but stuff like this is excessively ineffective at changing anything.

    If you want public art, we can actually fund timeless art.
