Probably No Superintelligent Forecaster Yet FiveThirtyNine (ha ha) is a new forecasting AI that purports to be "superintelligent", ie able to beat basically all human forecasters. In fact, its creators go further than that: they say it beats Metaculus, a site which aggregates the estimates of hundreds of forecasters to generate estimates more accurate than any of them. You can read the announcement here and play with the model itself here. (kudos to the team for making the model publicly available, especially since these things usually have high inference costs) https://www.astralcodexten.com/p/mantic-monday-91624Ā
