What would be an example of cheating since it says "no cheating".

Spearfishing the organizers to get access to the shiny fresh dataset, or using some variation on wrench-based social engineering [0]. 0. https://xkcd.com/538/

Does this work if you have to finalize your submission before said organizers harvest shiny fresh dataset into existence?

The Kaggle competition page has more details: https://www.kaggle.com/competitions/konwinski-prize The prizes scale with the model’s score; the total prize pool is between $100,000 and $1,225,000, depending on the top scores.

>$1M for the AI that can close 90% of new GitHub issues If your AI can do this, it's worth several orders of magnitude more. Just FYI.

It's 90% of a selection of new GitHub issues, we don't know about the complexity of these. I don't think they'd ask the AI for a giant refactoring of the codebase, for example.

Really? Let's say the bottom 70% of earners in the U.S. decided that AI was dangerous and its development should be stopped. Do you think the top 30% would allow that?

How does this relate to the Security Council or any other known mechanisms that operate in the world?

Because those mechanisms don't work to stop most of the dangerous economic activities.

They would work as mechanisms after the point when the world’s nations agree to it… Like I said…?

Clearly the world’s nations aren’t guaranteed to share your views…

My entire point is that we don't have mechanisms to protect the people. I was not referring to the power structure of the nations, or those with the most money.

This seems to be going in circles…

Who gets to define “protect the people”…?

Perhaps we should hold a referendum: destroy AI?

Who has the authority to hold any referendum for the entire planet?

Dodging the core issue over and over again isn’t going to lead anywhere…
