3 prediction markets price this story:

• Hires — the market puts it at 5%, with $77 traded in the last 24 hours, closing 1 Jan 2027. The outcome is Yes if OpenAI’s CEO changes before January 1, 2027. The outcome is No if the CEO remains the same through that date. Readers often mistake the linked story about David Robinson quitting for a change in the CEO role.
• New York Times wins — the market puts it at 58%, closing 1 Jan 2028. The market resolves to Yes if the Southern District of New York finds OpenAI liable for copyright infringement or any other counts alleged by the New York Times. It resolves to No if that specific court does not issue such a finding. Readers often mistake the linked lawsuit against the New York Times for the actual resolution criteria, but the outcome depends entirely on the legal judgment against OpenAI.
• Will Sam Altman hold super-voting OpenAI shares at IPO? — the market puts it at 20%, closing 1 Jan 2028. The market resolves to Yes if Sam Altman retains voting rights in his OpenAI shares that exceed those granted to public investors after the company goes public. It resolves to No if he does not hold such super-voting shares at that time. Readers often mistake the dismissal of a lawsuit for proof of share structure, but only the actual terms of the IPO matter.
