Probably have it do 10 trivial for AI but hard for people tasks within a small time frame.

I collect IBM ads from the Space Race era, some of them are really cool. https://images.computerhistory.org/revonline/images/50000430... https://www.ibm.com/history/apollo https://…

The part people are missing here is that if the trading firms are all doing something, that in itself influences the market. If they are all giving the LLMs money to invest and the…

I always thought it would be interesting in backend systems to catch a certain exceptions and auto-generate a link to a shell. Given the proper authentication is implemented would …

Now that we have real time brain scanning techniques I bet there is something way more accurate than a polygraph out there now.

This problem statement was actually where the idea for Proof of Work (aka mining) in bitcoin came from. It evolved out of the idea of requiring a computational proof of work for se…
