@Joshua or anyone can make a better one closer to the time, my feelings won't be hurt. For my own purposes I want to amplify couple cases I am making in 2023.
"Something or someone selected because of relationship to AI" would include Sam Altman. Would not include Wil Wheaton just for being vocal supporter of WGA and SAG/AFTRA strikes, even though several demands of the strikes involved potential uses of AI. Could include Wil.Wheaton though if he goes full Eric Clapton and uses his public platform to become a poster child for his opinion on AI.
@ClubmasterTransparent again this option just messes things up. It would seem Tim Walz (Harris' VP) would be included here, but if someone adds him as an option, it would come out of "Other." Perhaps I should just add him and be done with it... ugh.
Added Harris because it was ambiguous between the "Other" and "Someone else running for office not specifically mentioned" options. Cost me a bit in fees, but had to be done.
@Radicalia @BTE in 2023 market I was arguing that Jack Smith will not be 2023 POTY because either his biggest global impact will be in 2024 or he won't be in the running at all. Can't remember who with but I still like my take although apparently no one else does.
@Joshua Fine. Someone who during 2024 was running for political office. Does not have to be for US president. Does not have to win.
@Joshua Agree the duplicates will make a mess if allowed to stand. So you'd think whoever does UI/UX at Manifold would like to know this is an easy goof to make. We can only hope someone offers a solution sometime during 2024.
@Joshua I renamed the "Other" that no one had bet on to Invalid Option. If it wins we will all have a laugh.
@NicoDelon Manifold lags for me and I type fast. I spent a whole at first trying to figure out how to delete or edit my own comment and gave up.
