• roxton said “It’s a morbid thing to do, and a morbid prediction to make. However, the owner has started posting unusual videos. Long shots of Maru doing nothing. Extended close-ups. And viewership is still high.” on 2011-10-05
• roxton said “I think there exists an expectation of shared ownership between the owner and the Maru-cult that’s unprecedented in scale, and it may result in dead Maru getting heavy circulation on the intertubes.” on 2011-10-05
• gwern estimated 50% and said “Joshua: well, the cat is obviously going to die at some point – no cat has yet lived forever. At that point, it’s just a binary question – film or no film? (switch to 50% based on roxton’s odd videos.)” on 2011-10-05
• roxton said “JoshuaZ: Time isn’t a mandatory field? Assume it’s unbounded for the purposes of prediction.” on 2011-10-05
