I propose the ycombinator turing test. Can you generate an application which will get accepted by ycombinator? This may require generating additional content to establish team credibility including twitter posts, blog posts, etc.

- btipling 16y agoWhile the idea proposed is important, I believe pg cares more about the the team, which I think is reflected in the application. So you could very well generate a random idea and be accepted as long as you have an awesome group of people.
- stcredzero 16y agoThat's a slightly harder Turing test. pg will insist on them moving to Silicon Valley, so we'll have to use tech like this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EveR-2#EveR-2 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EveR-2#EveR-2
- pg 16y agoSince the main thing we care about is the people, you'd either have to lie or be genuinely good.
- gersh 16y agoHow do you know who the people are? Presumably, the app would create blogs, facebook pages, linkedin, twitter, etc. Passing a phone interview would be harder, though not impossible. You might need really good voice recognition. Speech generation probably wouldn't be insurmountable. In person, this might be trickier. This might require a robot mannequin. Alternatively, you could hire an actor with wireless ear plugs. Presumably, the computer would tell the actor what to do.
