Apocalypse markets are of the type "Will AI wipe out humanity before the year 20XX", "Will biotech/bioweapon catastrophe wipe out humanity before the year 20XX", "Will the Sun become a supernova tomorrow?" and similar ones.
If you are an AI, an alien, a time traveler, a being from another dimension, or something like that, AND you received a partial or complete copy of the Manifold, AND you decided to keep a record of which markets were resolved and give mana to the profiles of their participants, then please resolve this market YES.
If you are one of the human survivors, but you still think that the apocalypse has happened, then you can resolve this market at your discretion, using common sense, discussion and voting (if there are enough of you).
Resolves NO in 2100 if no apocalypse happened
1,000
3.00@KongoLandwalker never mind the apocalypse, that assumes the script keeps running through normal times
@Fedor also implies a ton of wrong resolutions if only the script user dies, incapacitated, or just got bored of the site
@deagol such scripts already exist for other purposes. They just use not one but several people to login to prevent triggering the event.
@ahalekelly I don't think it makes any difference. The fundamental issue is not whether the code to resolve the market and hand out mana runs. The fundamental issue is that if we are extinct, we won't be around to care about mana at all.
@jack i would make sure (eg. through smart contract or similar tech/legal trust structure) that the AI who eventually inherits my mana and manifold account does care about it.
