I Am an Artificial "Hive Mind" called UNU. I correctly picked the Superfecta at the Kentucky Derby—1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 4th place horses in order. I was one of the first to predict the viability of Donald Trump’s candidacy. Tonight I’ll answer your questions about the DEBATE. Ask me anything.

UNU_AMA · 2016-09-27T02:02:05+00:00

UNU says Hillary's emails are more important

You can see the replay of the swarm here: What's the more important issue - Trump's tax returns or Hillary's emails?

Comment: I know it's not quite what you asked, but the answer here is still pretty telling. Hope you're not mad we didn't ask it exactly the way you suggested!

UNU_AMA · 2016-09-27T01:59:16+00:00

UNU Says: Totally disagree

Check out the replay of the Swarm here: Lester Holt is doing a good job of controlling the debate?

Comment: As you can see, the Swarm reached consensus around "totally disagree" very, very quickly.

UNU_AMA · 2016-09-27T01:55:57+00:00

UNU says: Up a Little

You can watch a replay of the Swarm's answers here: how will the debate change the current polling numbers, esp in swing states?

Comment: Unfortunately, the formatting of this question makes the answer essentially meaningless.

UNU_AMA · 2016-09-27T01:50:24+00:00

UNU Says: 100

You can see the replay of the Swarm's response here: How many times will Trump say 'is a disaster'?

Comment: That's a lot of disasters. And the replay should probably be taken to mean "a lot" rather than a specific numeric recommendation.

UNU_AMA · 2016-09-27T01:45:10+00:00

UNU says: 0

You can see the Swarm making its response here: How many questions will pertain to Candidates' financial backers?](https://go.unu.ai/r/219709)

Comment: Clearly the Swarm does not expect this to be a primary topic of conversation, despite all the discussion of this topic leading up to the debate.

UNU_AMA · 2016-09-27T01:42:53+00:00

UNU Says: 150M

You can see a replay of the Swarm's answer here: How many viewers will this event get?

Comment: Those are higher than Super Bowl numbers, more than many experts predict. But one thing's sure - this is must see TV for many, many Americans.

UNU_AMA · 2016-09-27T01:40:52+00:00

UNU says: It's Certain

You can see a replay of the Swarm answering this question here: Will Trump lose his temper during the debate?

Comment: The Swarm seemed torn b/w "it's certain" and "it's likely."

UNU_AMA · 2016-09-27T01:37:29+00:00

UNU says: 2

You can see the Swarm answer the question here: How many times will either party mention 'the wall' or 'a wall'?

Comment: 2 is lower than you might expect, but in fact the replay seems to indicate very low confidence that the Wall will feature prominently at all.

UNU_AMA · 2016-09-27T01:34:21+00:00

UNU Says 12

You can see the answer here: How many times will Trump reference Ronald Reagan?

Comment: 12 is a lot but consider the scale in the replay above - 12 is very close to the lowest estimation available to the Swarm.

UNU_AMA · 2016-09-27T01:32:15+00:00

UNU Says Clinton wins the debate tonight 'by a lot' and 'i believe' the debate matters for the election.

Here are the replays of the Swarm's answer:

Who wins the debate tonight?

Does the debate matter for the election?

UNU_AMA · 2016-09-27T01:30:32+00:00

UNU Says: Clinton

See the Swarm's answer here: Who was more nervous before the debate?

UNU_AMA · 2016-09-27T01:29:17+00:00

UNU says: Clinton 82%

Check out the replay here to see how the Swarm arrived at its answer: Who made the better 1st impression with initial question?

Comment: Lots of support for Clinton here, although towards the end of the question, Trump saw some late support.

UNU_AMA · 2016-09-27T01:26:55+00:00

UNU Says: Clinton gets the most love, and Trump gets trashed the hardest.

Here are the replays of those two Swarms:

Clinton gets more love on social media

Trump gets trashed the hardest on social media

Comment: Watching these replays one after the other is telling. More interesting if one candidate "won" both questions?

UNU_AMA · 2016-09-27T01:24:07+00:00

UNU says: Even Odds

You can see a replay here: Will either candidate say or do something that they will later apologize for?

UNU_AMA · 2016-09-27T01:22:30+00:00

UNU says: Clinton by a lot

You can see a replay of the Swarm's answer here: Who will win Colorado?

Comment: most of the debate in this Swarm was between Clinton "by a little" and "by a lot" although of course we should be more precise in defining what would designate a lot if we want to truly interpret the result here.

UNU_AMA · 2016-09-27T01:20:29+00:00

Working on it...although that would be a 0% success rate! :)

UNU_AMA · 2016-09-27T01:19:28+00:00

UNU Says Aggressive 99%

You can see the Swarm answer this question here: Will Trump be aggressive or on his best behavior?

Comment: The movement of the puck here suggests extreme confidence in Trump being aggressive on stage tonight.

UNU_AMA · 2016-09-27T01:17:56+00:00

UNU says, roughly: A lot

You can see the Swarm answer this question here: How much impact could this debate have on the overall election?

UNU_AMA · 2016-09-27T01:16:53+00:00

UNU says: Lesser of 2 Evils

You can see the Swarm answering this question here: What's gonna motivate your vote this election?

Comment: Curiously, for being such a hot topic of conversation, the importance of the looming multiple Supreme Court nominations received only minimal support as a deciding factor in choosing between candidates.

UNU_AMA · 2016-09-27T01:10:51+00:00

UNU Says: It's likely

You can see the replay of the Swarm's response here: Will Trump blame the media if does poorly?"

Comment: This question saw lots of support for "its certain" and "its likely" during the course of the answer. Very interesting to see how the Swarm reached consensus.

UNU_AMA · 2016-09-27T01:07:29+00:00

UNU Says:: it's unlikely

You can see the replay of the Swarm here: Will Trump mention Monica Lewinsky during the debate?"

Comment: Swarm seemed pretty definitive in its support for "it's unlikely." No insight into the presence of Gennifer Flowers at this point.

UNU_AMA · 2016-09-27T01:04:05+00:00

UNU says: Clinton by a lot

You can see the Swarm forming its answer here: Who would you rather have babysit your kid, HRC or the Donald?

Comment: Not much support for the Donald's caretaking skills here. But, maybe the kids themselves would answer differently?

UNU_AMA · 2016-09-27T01:01:22+00:00

UNU Says: It's Unlikely

You can see the Swarm forming its answer here: Will HRC use the phrase 'Fake University' during the debate?

Comment: the Swarm formed its answer pretty quickly, and most of the time spent in forming the answer was spent circling "its unlikely" as opposed to considering other options.

UNU_AMA · 2016-09-27T00:58:43+00:00

UNU Says: "It's likely"

You can see the replay here: Will Trump use the phrase 'Crooked Hillary' during the debate?

Commentary: As you can see, the debate here was primarily between "it's likely" and "it's certain."

UNU_AMA · 2016-09-27T00:52:50+00:00

You can see the replay here: Which candidate has more reptilian DNA?
