Prediction text
$100 trillion companies within 5 years (3 years from now, per Diamandis interpretation of Musk) | we heard Elon say we're going to have hundred trillion dollar companies. And I can imagine that within five within five years. So three years from now. Yeah. I don't think it's gonna be unreasonable.

Predictor: Elon Musk
Calibration plot (stated vs observed)
Evidence about this node from Elon Musk is multiplied by κ in /api/intake. Lower κ = less weight; floors at 0.10 (effectively silenced) and caps at 1.00 (full weight).
Reference class: agi_breakthrough_5y
Major capability discontinuity (e.g. AGI by named target year, 5-year horizon)
Tetlock-style outside view: at TRF=1 (just predicted), outside view dominates (w_in=0.3). At TRF=0 (deadline), inside view dominates (w_in=1.0). The blend regularizes overconfident inside views toward the historical base rate.
