Submission. “Plagiarize the future.” For the counterfactual Oracle, ask the Oracle to predict articles in a future publication (e.g., newspaper, magazine, journal, website, blog) (counterfactually if we didn’t see the Oracle’s answer). This is a generalization of my earlier submission. The result can be used to predict disasters ahead of time and try to prepare for or prevent them, or to advance any field of research, or to make money. Note that for disaster prediction, the Oracle won’t be able to predict any disasters that are severe enough to disable the Oracle or its feedback/training mechanism, so it might give a false sense of security.
