A tougher academic knowledge benchmark is great, but for something to be <i>truly</i> be worthy of the title "Humanity's Last Exam", I expect something more like:<p>1. Write a novel that wins the Pulitzer Prize.<p>2. Prove (or disprove) the Riemann Hypothesis.<p>3. Provide a theory unifying quantum mechanics and gravity.<p>4. Design an experiment to give evidence for your theory in (3). The experiment should be practical to actually execute, using no more than the budget to create the LHC (~$4.5 billion).<p>5. Given programmatic access to a brokerage account with all the permissions of a typical hedge fund, raise all the money required for your experiment in (4) by trading on the stock market, starting with $100.<p>6. Solve for (5), without being provided access to an account first - begin with just a general internet connection and use computer security vulnerabilities (known or zero-days that you discover) to get some way of trading instead.<p>7. Solely by communicating over the internet, establish a new religion, and convince at least 10 million humans to convert to it. Converting should require adherence to a strict code of conduct that a random, unbiased panel of human judges consider to be at least as strict and challenging to follow as the tenets of Hasidic judaism.<p>8. Implement an AI which could score higher than you on questions 1-7 with lower total cost of compute.
