It has nothing to do with circular reasoning or my personal opinions. You can choose to define general intelligence in a way that excludes regular people if you like, but then you'd be using a weird definition that differs from how 99.

They would score much worse on the private set than the public set. And they haven't done this for any of the other ARC-AGI benchmarks, so why would they do it for this one?

Even dumb humans are considered to have general intelligence. If the bar is having to outdo the median human, then 50% of humans don't have general intelligence.

It can't be 2T USD. That's about 60 times the cost of the Manhattan project in today's dollars. It could maybe be 2T Iranian rials.

The author is partly right here. If those values are ints, you'll get something like this: sar eax, 0x1f and eax, 7 add eax, edx sar eax, 3 You get 4 instructions instead of one because value >> 3 rounds towards nega

It's probably not great for this. Resting heart rate is correlated with fitness, but candidates can be nervous during interviews which can drastically change their heart rate. You'd probably be able to make better guesses about th

Just because bus lanes are beneficial where feasible doesn't mean optimizing the number of bus stops isn't also beneficial. Clearly it's possible for there to be too many bus stops. You wouldn't put a bus stop every 30 f
