One little appreciated aspect of the Trump presidency, is that it may include millions of job losses to AI & robotics. I wonder will this be the No 1 issue in the 2028 election ? (if there is one).
I think the easiest way to explain this, is to say they are testing the ability to reason your way to an answer, to a question so unique, that it doesn't exist anywhere on the internet.
I’d put money on humans scoring even less on subjects they’ve never heard of.
They are testing is the ability to reason. The AI, or human, can still use the internet to find out the answer. Here's a sample question that illustrates the distinction.
Hummingbirds within Apodiformes uniquely have a bilaterally paired oval bone, a sesamoid embedded in the caudolateral portion of the expanded, cruciate aponeurosis of insertion of m. depressor caudae. How many paired tendons are supported by this sesamoid bone? Answer with a number.
They say the answer to this issue is they've released public question samples, but the real questions are kept private.
The relevance of this test is that it is that the answers don't already exist on the internet.
With previous tests, where AI scored 90%, how do we know it figured out the right answer, or just copied someone else's from its training data?
This test better measures true independent reasoning.
Some people are naively amazed at AI scoring 99% in bar and medical exams, when all it is doing is reproducing correct answers from internet discussions on the exam questions. A new AI benchmark called "Humanity's Last Exam" has stumped top models. It will take independent reasoning to get 100% on this test, when that day comes does it mean AGI will be here?
Trumpism will pass, and gasoline cars go the way of the horse and buggy. The US will just take longer to catch up with the rest of the world's progress.
I don't know if its what you are looking for but futurology.today is the fediverse sibling (same Mods) as r/futurology on Reddit.
(Disclaimer I'm a Mod on it & the subreddit)
I know the de facto attitude in the fediverse is to slag off Reddit, but I worry that they have a target on their back now. They are one of the last few big places online for Americans where left leaning and progressive thought predominates. It won't surprise me if Ketamine Nazi/Trump and the MAGA crowd make them a public enemy soon.
You jest, but given you how much the accelerationist crowd hate oversight, safety and regulation .......

You know why Trump really hates her?
Because as a bishop, she can move diagonally anywhere on the board, but as a Russian pawn, he can only move one square at a time.
