Prediction text

Claude-facilitated dating will replace traditional matchmaking | I think the really transformative apps are on the enterprise side, not on social discovery for consumers for for dating, but rather imagine a near-term future where the claws are orchestrating social business discovery and orchestrating business meetings and corporate partnerships because they think it might be helpful.

What if this resolves?

Clamp this prediction TRUE or FALSE and run a counterfactual Gibbs sample. Surfaces the predictions whose marginals shift most under that assumption.
