The Afroman Trial. -Cops raid Afromans house for bullshit reasons. -Steal money, break his door, fuck his house up. -No criminality found whatsoever, no charges at all pressed on Afroman. -Afroman spends the next 3 years making songs that make fun of all the officers involved by name, even using footage of the raid from his own CCTV cameras. -Songs had titles like "Randy Walters is a son of a bitch" and "Lick Em Low Lisa" accusing one of the officers of being a lesbian and sleeping with the other officers wives. -During the raid one officer looked like he was about to eat some lemon pound cake sitting on Afromans counter, Afroman made a whole album calling the officer fat. -The cops get mad and file a lawsuit for defamation. -Afroman turns up to court in a whole American flag suit. -Officers performatively mald and cry while listening to the songs really trying to oversell how badly the songs upset them. -One officer was suing because Afroman made a whole song about him saying he was fucking the officers wife. When the officer was asked if Afroman was really fucking his wife, he said "I don't know". Nuking his own case and establishing that there is a non-zero chance that Afroman might actually be fucking his wife. -As his only witness for the trial, Afroman brought a deputies EX FUCKING WIFE. -The jury ruled completely in favour of Afroman. This entire thing has been a great win for free speech and absolutely fucking hilarious.
🍿 Can you scale a movie critic? That's the question behind Kleros Foresight's first experiment. 16 movies, 1 judge: Kleros CTO @clesaege. Judge Dredd, Mamma Mia, 12 Angry Men, Barbie... all in the same pool. For each film: "If Clément watches this, what percentile score will he give it?" Slide a prediction higher or lower than the crowd. Closer to reality, you profit. Off, you lose. The twist: Clément won't watch all 16. Only 5 get evaluated. The top 3 by market estimate (the crowd literally decides what's worth watching), plus 1 random and 1 Clément's choice. The other 11 redeem at neutral. No profit, no loss. This is "distilled human judgement" in action. One person's taste is the ground truth, but invoking it (watching + rating a film) is slow and expensive. So the market predicts across all 16, only 5 get verified, and accurate predictions earn. The result: a recommendation signal that scales without the critic needing to watch everything. Movies are session 1. The same architecture works anywhere expert judgement exists but doesn't scale: property appraisals, grant allocation, content curation. Built on @SeerPM and @GnosisChain.
