Short answer, no. If you're betting on an outcome that can be controlled by an individual or small group, the incentive is for them to game the system by doing the OPPOSITE of what the prediction is so as to make the most money.

Thanks for the thoughtful response. I'm predominantly a self-hoster, but I think your product makes a lot of sense for a wide variety of users and businesses. I'm excited to try out freestyle!
I love this! This concept on steroids is one of the main reasons I made https://github.com/knowsuchagency/vibora after trying both happy.engineering and Vibe Kanban for remote coding. There's the claude mobile app, too, but I want to run Claude on my own hardware in a terminal
I was experimenting with having Claude write in the first person and acting as the editor and publisher. I genuinely don’t see myself as the author but I see your point. What I considered to be a fun experiment may distract from the actual point I’m trying to make — wanting to significantly decrease MCP token usage.
I like Simon, but he's not a journalist. A journalist would not have gone to OpenAI to glaze the GPT-5 release with Theo. I don't say this to discount Simon -- I appreciate his writing and analysis but a journalist, he isn't.
