Metaculus has currently got over 1000 open forecasting questions, many of which are longtermist or EA focused.
These include several EA-focused categories, e.g. EA survey 2025, an Alt-Protein Tournament, Animal Welfare, the "Ragnorak" global catastrophic risks series, and other questions on the distant future.
I am volunteering at Rethink Priorities doing forecasting research, and am looking to see if there are EA related questions with long time horizons (>5 years) people are interested in seeing predictions on, and if there are I am willing to put some time into operationalising them and submitting them to Metaculus.
I think this would be both directly useful for those who have these questions and others who find them interesting, and also useful for expanding the database of such questions we have for the purpose of improving long term forecasting.
This question is part of a project of Rethink Priorities.
It was written by Charles Dillon, a volunteer for Rethink Priorities. Thanks to Linch Zhang for advising on the question. If you like our work, please consider subscribing to our newsletter. You can see all our work to date here.
The question is intended to look at tail risk associated with stock markets shutting down. Transformative AI may or may not constitute such a risk; for example, the AI might shut down the stock market because it's going to do something far better with people's money, or it might shut down the market because everyone is turned into paperclips. So I think it should be unconditional.
