I certainly hope so, but don't spike the football until the opera lady sings.

Journamalism sez @eschatonblog.com

Like back in the day with sports predictions where "according to the vibe in Las Vegas" was supposed to mean something.

I feel that in my bones!😁

And, nowadays, according to Wall Street generally. The War's Over! It's Not Over! It's.... the Market used to be a viable if not always accurate reflection of the American economic mood. no more.

“According to this dream i just had”

This is also the adult equivalent of elementary school’s “Yeah but I have a friend who said…”

Understood. In this case, though,they’re right. Cornyn is toast.

Nowww I get it. Thanks. These friggin' prediction markets will sway some voters along the way. Less critical thinking every day.🤬🤬

MS NOW cutting to their next segment: "Now we turn to long time MS NOW contributor, Ms Cleo. Ms Cleo, what are the stars telling you about the war in Iran..."

Ah I see. Well journalism has lost a few steps in the last decade or so, hasn’t it? According to prediction markets t’s only going to get worse. ftfy (dept of missed opportunities)

Or equivalent to “according to this D 20 roll”

Many people are saying…

"According to the talking Pop-Tart named Roscoe who lives in my refrigerator"

Very specific streets

News organizations presenting gambling as news are going to find themselves without viewers. 🤷🏽‍♂️

The stupid thing is there's a reasonable and potentially interesting article here about the uses and misuses of prediction markets and their effect on the body idiotic.

The vibe in the street is the best measure b/c data gathering means you can pet a dog. Prediction markets and ChatGPT lack dogs I can pet.

Thank you! MSM's constant efforts to legitimize prediction platforms is a blatant attempt to fool American voters into believing these tools are accurate when in fact prediction markets sole purpose is to manipulate voters.

I tell my team, “If you wouldn’t say ‘I asked the intern and they said…’ don’t tell me ‘AI said…”.

Because the prediction markets have PR agents that deliver stories to to the media. Same as why your local news covers police work non-stop.

"according to my entrails"

I think you are mistaken here. The prediction markets have been pretty accurate in predicting political races. I think they are more analogous to the “wisdom of the masses” concept rather than AI.

"According to my balls..."

It’s more than the vibe on the street. Broadly speaking, there is some science behind it, but it’s definitely subject to manipulation in this context.

I don't even know what the headline is supposed to mean. A "wipeout" meaning a landslide for one of the candidates in the runoff?

From the NYT polls tracker.

Prediction markets should never be referenced in relation at anything political.

That was my question.

Trump has spoken.

Paxton’s

Good. Get used to saying Senator Talarico, Texas.

I’m beginning to feel as though I’m living in a casino. A bankrupted Trump casino.

Incredible, isn’t it?

Was hoping for your thoughts on our piece. We are engaging in a project to reach out to journalists and newsrooms on the subject. There’s an opportunity to have an impact. Will DM.

... or the fact that the fucking republican cult leader finally endorsed a candidate. why give prediction markets cred for this??
