Parts 5 and 6 are 404. At the end of the article there are words: "More pictures in the next part. Next part: coming soon" I suppose the link came to HN a bit too early.

It is a sad story, showing why all these bright ideas about using hive-mind to predict a future are not going to work. It is sad, and I can feel the author worries, but still I want to laugh. It was so fucking predictable and prediction mar

I personally don't see any problems with this. For example, in most cases we can agree if someone had free will or no when they committed a crime. Even if I prefer compatibilist view and you are not, we'll agree in the most cases.
