What prediction markets have accomplished is opening up all of reality, not just financial markets, to that sort of doubt. You can make money on Kalshi, now, not just by manipulating stock or Bitcoin or whatever markets, but by manipulating Spotify streams or temperature gauges or the words people say at press conferences or the location of a gorilla. The upshot is that now you can’t be sure whose song was the most popular last month, or what the temperature is in Paris, or why a gorilla is wandering around your neighborhood. Prediction markets are “truth machines,” in the sense that they give people incentives to figure out what is true and bet on it. But they are also, obviously and increasingly, falsehood machines, in the sense that they give people incentives to make bets and then distort reality to make those bets pay off. Because of prediction markets, it is now lucrative to figure out what song will be the most popular, but it is even more lucrative to make a different song look most popular. Prediction markets can make it harder to know what is true.

gah!
