RAIN Notes: December 23
"The latest slate of podcast predictions comes from Fatima Zaidi's hosting and metrics company CoHost. We see 30 pithy predictions from prominent podcast personages including Zaidi herself. Sharon Taylor (Triton Digital), Tom Webster (Sounds Profitable), Kerri Hoffman (PRX), Steve Pratt (The Creativity Business), Jeff Umbro (The Podglomerate), Jonas Woost (Bumper), Ainsley Rossitto (Paramount) are just a few - we cite these at risk of minimizing the scope of industry celebrities who participated in this exercise."
"The startup, called ManticAI, was founded by a former Google researcher, and recently ranked in the top 10 of an international forecasting competition. While the bot did not take home the Metaculus Cup (more on that in a sec), it did place in the eighth spot of a challenge to rank the likelihood of 60 events. Some humans beat ManticAI for the top seven spots."
