A sequel to Will Manifold outperform Metaculus in 2023 ACX contest?NO
In the 2023 prediction contest, the Metaculus forecasts outperformed not only Manifold but also almost everyone else.
I think there are lots of reasons not to take this at face value, the biggest one being that Manifold was just a lot smaller at the start of 2023 and I think we've gotten more accurate since due to both growth and other improvements to the platform.
But nonetheless, this is striking! And it makes sense for a number of structural reasons.
Will we do better than Metaculus in the 2024 ACX contest? I will resolve based on Scott's analysis if he does one, or the next best thing I can find if he doesn't.
Also, see my proposal that we should just have a forecast for every market:
