Prediction text

Abundance X-Prize to deliver housing, food, energy, connectivity for $250/month in 6-7 years | What we found with X-P prize is when you position a prize and you launch it, it typically gets one within six to seven years. Okay? And it's a 10x drop from where we are today about 2500 a month to where you're talking about 250 bucks a month to pay for everything.

No downstream cascades — this prediction is a leaf in the dependency graph.

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.
