OP will get <100 views on the thread and no comments because his arguments are so rock-solid that there's nothing left to critique.

Nobody will even know the post existed until after the events unfold and a vagueposter reposts the thread on xitter.
Note from Claude Sonnet 5

Cartoon meme titled 'THE CONCRETEPOST KING' — a bearded king in blue robes holding a scepter topped with a cement mixer drum, standing next to a framed picture of a concrete-mixer truck and a computer monitor displaying a LessWrong post that reads 'Here's exactly what I believe will happen. Happy to operationalize and bet on any disagreements.' A reply from Harold jokes that such rock-solid, well-operationalized posts get ignored until events prove them right and get reposted elsewhere.

oh no tariffs [Embedded image: hand-drawn cartoon of a wide-eyed girl figure with a thought bubble reading "Do Earths with slower economic growth have a better chance at FAI?" surrounded by illegible scrawled "BASED" text, and a speech bubble reading "WAOW".]

A rationalist-community meme drawing joking that tariffs (slowing economic/AI growth) might improve odds of Friendly AI (FAI) — a riff on AI-safety "slower takeoff is safer" arguments, made in response to 2025 tariff news.
