Here's a description of what EigenKarma is: https://www.lesswrong.com/posts/Fu7bqAyCMjfcMzBah/eigenkarma-trust-at-scale

A small-scale but public (i.e., visible to every forum user) experiment is sufficient to make this question resolve "Yes", regardless of the outcome of the experiment.

I propose a possibly better system called EigenFlow (I want an impact cert if it's actually implemented):

Users can manually set the portions of their feed
1) to display whatever is equal to someone other's feed
2) to display someone's posts

I think this is an uncanny valley between rss/substack/mastodon and social media recomendation algorithms.
People are used to reddit/hackernews/stack-overflow style upvoting, so if they see a number next to some arrows they'll think it's the same number for everyone. If you customize the score for everyone should probably be hidden ... but then it's just an algorithmic feed that recommends you content based on your actions, like tiktok, except worse because its more restricted. May as well go full magic at that point

@Sinclair Thanks! I used the ideas in your comment to inform my comment on the LW post https://www.lesswrong.com/posts/Fu7bqAyCMjfcMzBah/eigenkarma-trust-at-scale?commentId=W5rJZbEsfR4FgLJet

What is this?

What is Manifold?
Manifold is the world's largest social prediction market.
Get accurate real-time odds on politics, tech, sports, and more.
Or create your own play-money betting market on any question you care about.
Are our predictions accurate?
Yes! Manifold is very well calibrated, with forecasts on average within 4 percentage points of the true probability. Our probabilities are created by users buying and selling shares of a market.
In the 2022 US midterm elections, we outperformed all other prediction market platforms and were in line with FiveThirtyEight’s performance. Many people who don't like betting still use Manifold to get reliable news.
ṀWhy use play money?
Mana (Ṁ) is the play-money currency used to bet on Manifold. It cannot be converted to cash. All users start with Ṁ1,000 for free.
Play money means it's much easier for anyone anywhere in the world to get started and try out forecasting without any risk. It also means there's more freedom to create and bet on any type of question.
