  Speaker 1: I'm back in New York, outside New York City Hall,
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: just here for a second, but enough time to do
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: this week's installment of Prediction Markets at the Green Market
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: at City Hall Park.
• 0:15
  Speaker 2: What are you doing down at the Green Market at
• 0:16
  Speaker 2: City Hall?
• 0:17
  Speaker 3: Just was put on a jury.
• 0:20
  Speaker 2: So you're on jury duty today?
• 0:21
  Speaker 3: I was just impaneled today.
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: I can't ask you about it because then they're going
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: to kick you off the jury. What are you doing
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: down by City Hall today?
• 0:28
  Speaker 4: I'm on my way home. I'm a teacher and I'm
• 0:30
  Speaker 4: just commuting.
• 0:31
  Speaker 5: Oh, amazing.
• 0:32
  Speaker 2: What's your name?
• 0:32
  Speaker 6: Danny.
• 0:33
  Speaker 2: First of all, what do you teach?
• 0:34
  Speaker 7: Yeah, so I teach kindergarten through eighth grade physical education.
• 0:37
  Speaker 4: In New York City.
• 0:38
  Speaker 8: We're film majors.
• 0:39
  Speaker 2: No way.
• 0:40
  Speaker 9: Yeah.
• 0:40
  Speaker 4: Okay, cool.
• 0:41
  Speaker 2: How do you like our crew? Does it look all right?
• 0:42
  Speaker 4: Yeah, it looks good. Perfect.
• 0:44
  Speaker 2: The best of the best right here. MS Now's finest.
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: Donald Trump was rejected at the Supreme Court this week
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: in his effort to restrict mail-in voting in the country.
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: Do you predict that he will try to stop people
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: from voting in other ways?
• 0:56
  Speaker 9: I'm sure he will. I don't put anything past that man.
• 0:59
  Speaker 8: Honestly, knowing what he's done, I feel like it's kind
• 1:03
  Speaker 8: of unpredictable because every day I'm just... I don't like
• 1:07
  Speaker 8: to keep up with what Donald Trump's doing because it
• 1:09
  Speaker 8: just infuriates me and it's always something else, another stupid
• 1:12
  Speaker 8: thing he's doing. I don't know what he's going to
• 1:15
  Speaker 8: do next.
• 1:16
  Speaker 4: I don't think he's going to stop at anything to
• 1:18
  Speaker 4: get what he wants.
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: What makes you feel that way about him?
• 1:21
  Speaker 4: I think, you know, that's just what we've seen.
• 1:23
  Speaker 7: That's just what his track record shows, that if he
• 1:26
  Speaker 7: really wants... something in place. He's going to find a
• 1:30
  Speaker 7: way to do it. He's going to find a loophole.
• 1:31
  Speaker 7: He's going to say whatever he needs to say to
• 1:33
  Speaker 7: make it happen.
• 1:34
  Speaker 10: At this point, the worst part is that there are
• 1:37
  Speaker 10: Americans who have lost faith in the system.
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: The integrity of the system, exactly. The integrity of the system.
• 1:43
  Speaker 10: The problem is, is that we don't believe in the system.
• 1:45
  Speaker 10: We don't believe in our government. I think that creating
• 1:49
  Speaker 10: confusion around the way that you vote, how votes are counted,
• 1:54
  Speaker 10: if they're legal, if they're not, if it's accurate, if
• 1:57
  Speaker 10: it's not, if there's fraud, if there's not. Even just
• 2:00
  Speaker 10: injecting that kind of grayness into the conversation, I think,
• 2:05
  Speaker 10: causes a lot of problems.
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: Dude, I'm going to pack it up. I'm going to
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: go home. This is ding, ding, ding, ding.
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: Maggie got it all right.
• 2:12
  Speaker 10: I have to thank my parents.
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: Thank you for making me good. They taught you well.
• 2:15
  Speaker 10: They have made me a very good citizen.
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: You want to be on my show? So you're buying canvas?
• 2:21
  Speaker 7: Mm-hmm.
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: Pre-stretched?
• 2:23
  Speaker 8: Yes.
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: What else is in the bag? Smaller canvas. Wait, so wait,
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: how old are you guys? I'm 19.
• 2:31
  Speaker 8: 19?
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: 19. No way, so this is going to be your
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: first election as a voter in the United States. What's
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: your prediction about the, or how about just for you all,
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: what do you predict will be the number one thing
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: that brings you to the polls?
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: Why do you want to go vote for the first
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: time this year?
• 2:43
  Speaker 6: Because I feel like we need to get him out
• 2:45
  Speaker 6: of office.
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: Midterm elections are coming fast and furious. What is your
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: prediction on the number one issue that's going to get
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: people out to vote?
• 2:51
  Speaker 4: It's the economy, stupid.
• 2:54
  Speaker 3: I think the common wisdom is its affordability. I think
• 2:58
  Speaker 3: AI might start getting into people's consciousness.
• 3:00
  Speaker 4: It might be immigration. I think some people or a
• 3:03
  Speaker 4: lot of people in the U.S.
• 3:04
  Speaker 7: Are not really happy with how things are being handled immigration-wise.
• 3:10
  Speaker 4: And I think there's a way to do certain things and.
• 3:13
  Speaker 7: Um, I don't think people like the way he's doing
• 3:16
  Speaker 7: it as a Hispanic American as well. I think, uh,
• 3:20
  Speaker 7: I think there are a lot of Latinos that voted
• 3:23
  Speaker 7: for Trump that are not really okay with the way things.
• 3:26
  Speaker 4: Are being handled right now.
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: And you feel like, can people get a fair shot today?
• 3:30
  Speaker 9: I don't feel that our world is very fair in
• 3:34
  Speaker 9: general at the moment, but maybe that's just me coming
• 3:37
  Speaker 9: into adulthood. Um, When I was a kid, it all
• 3:40
  Speaker 9: seemed fair. As an adult, it seems like it's a
• 3:44
  Speaker 9: very capitalistic society.
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: Rich are getting richer, poor are getting poorer.
• 3:49
  Speaker 9: Yes, I 100% agree with that.
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: How do we find your art?
• 3:54
  Speaker 4: It's Cameron Jacobs Art on Instagram.
• 3:57
  Speaker 5: Please follow.
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: This will be on Instagram too. Okay, great.
• 4:00
  Speaker 4: I'm from New York.
• 4:01
  Speaker 6: If you want a painting, just DM me and I'll
• 4:03
  Speaker 6: make you a painting.
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: Cameron Jacobs Art. We've got to get a connect with
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: Jacob painting. I would like a painting.
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: Did you see the whistleblower who came out and said
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: from Anthropic that potentially we could be facing an.
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: Extinction-level event?
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: Do you predict that AI could lead to an extinction-level
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: event in our world?
• 4:22
  Speaker 3: I can tell you that something just happened to me today.
• 4:25
  Speaker 5: What?
• 4:27
  Speaker 3: I am a voiceover actor with a company that does audiobooks.
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: I thought I recognized your voice.
• 4:32
  Speaker 3: No, you didn't.
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: I'm not kidding.
• 4:34
  Speaker 3: You don't. I haven't done enough that you would recognize it.
• 4:37
  Speaker 3: but we just got a notice today that the company
• 4:41
  Speaker 3: is going out of business because AI is now covering audiobooks,
• 4:44
  Speaker 3: including the multicast format that we use.
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: That's awful.
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: So not only is that an economic issue for you,
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: not only is that an AI issue, creative, but also
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: potentially hit you in the pocketbook one day.
• 4:54
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 4:55
  Speaker 3: No, it hit me in the pocketbook already. They owe
• 4:56
  Speaker 3: me money that they're not able to pay me at
• 4:58
  Speaker 3: the moment.
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: Are you worried about AI and what it might portend?
• 5:01
  Speaker 7: I think it's really interesting. I don't think it's going
• 5:04
  Speaker 7: to It's going to, I guess, kill us all or anything.
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: It's because you touch grass all day as a physical
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: ed instructor and you're not in the matrix.
• 5:15
  Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah. I guess as a phys ed teacher, I
• 5:17
  Speaker 4: feel like I'm safe.
• 5:18
  Speaker 7: I am not okay with organizations and companies kind of
• 5:25
  Speaker 7: handing those jobs off to AI. I do think there's
• 5:27
  Speaker 7: something we can do about that. But I don't think
• 5:31
  Speaker 7: we are doomed because of AI.
• 5:34
  Speaker 5: I'm an advocate for AI.
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: I think.
• 5:37
  Speaker 5: put it like this we have bad people they are
• 5:41
  Speaker 5: going to use ai for the wrong things it's it
• 5:44
  Speaker 5: just comes with the territory i think it's.
• 5:46
  Speaker 8: Going to cause some type of chaos i don't know
• 5:49
  Speaker 8: what but people are going to start to go crazy
• 5:51
  Speaker 8: people are losing their jobs people are relying on ai
• 5:54
  Speaker 8: like the knowledge that one person contains is going down
• 5:58
  Speaker 8: every day are.
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: You scared do you feel scared I try not to
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: think about it.
• 6:02
  Speaker 6: I think, again, I can't predict what's going to happen,
• 6:05
  Speaker 6: what my life will be like in terms of AI
• 6:07
  Speaker 6: in the future. And I will not make the fake
• 6:11
  Speaker 6: scenarios in my head and try to predict it.
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: I think I'll just live day by.
• 6:14
  Speaker 4: Day, see what happens.
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: Living day by day.
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: I wish I was Gen Z and living day by
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: day and seeing what happens.
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: I feel like it's like a good headspace to be in. Hey,
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: can I tell you about my show? We got this.
• 6:22
  Speaker 4: Come on, please.
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: Last one, Terrence. Yankees in the playoffs. They're going to
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: win the World Series. Your prediction?
• 6:27
  Speaker 8: No.
• 6:29
  Speaker 5: Not for probably another five years.
• 6:31
  Speaker 9: My family is a Yankees fan. So based on my
• 6:36
  Speaker 9: beliefs and loyalty, I will have to say yes.
