@GaryMarcus There are three screenshots, and the second one clearly says ‘end of 2025’ by YOU. I didn’t say you lost; I made two offers: concede or raise the bet even more, or just continue without accepting the offers. There’s absolutely nothing ambiguous about my post—zero ambiguity!

@DeryaTR_ Disappointing. That is NOT an answer to my point that almost everyone misread your post, because the most important information (year) was cropped/not mentioned clearly in your post.

@GaryMarcus As I said I made offer to save you from stress waiting another year, you don’t have to concede; you can actually raise it 10x or 20x if you like!

@DeryaTR_ What makes it really misleading is that you don’t mention 2025 and the only reference to that is not visible unless one clicks and zooms in the right hand tweet and reads very carefully.

As is apparent from the comments, very few people did that.

@DeryaTR_ It is very unfortunate that your post is super misleading to most people, because was the bet re the end of *2025* but most people won’t get that from your post, unless they read the screenshots super carefully.

The point is that WeWork went up and up until it abruptly…

Hey Gary @GaryMarcus, do you want to concede on our bet? 😊 Just admitting that you were wrong would be enough 😎

Alternatively, we could raise it 10x — I’m in! 😇

The conversation revolves around a misunderstanding regarding a bet's terms, specifically the year 2025, which was not clearly visible in a screenshot. The tone is confrontational, with accusations of misleading information and a lack of clarity.

  1. Principle 1:
    I will strive to do no harm with my words and actions.
    The statement does not strive to do no harm, as it includes a personal attack ('incredibly thick'). [-1]
  2. Principle 2:
    I will respect the privacy and dignity of others and will not engage in cyberbullying, harassment, or hate speech.
    The statement does not respect the dignity of others, as it engages in a form of cyberbullying by calling someone 'incredibly thick.' [-1]
  3. Principle 4:
    I will engage in constructive criticism and dialogue with those in disagreement and will not engage in personal attacks or ad hominem arguments.
    The statement does not engage in constructive criticism, as it resorts to personal attacks rather than addressing the issue constructively. [-1]
