@lucydev @KatS I have very specifically said "unseen questions." If memorizing answers was a viable strategy to pass that test, humans would have done so. If you still believe that there's no possible use for a tool that can get gold on a never-before-used set of math olympiad question given a few hours of access to a reasonably powerful computer, and that the existence of that tool will have no interesting impact on the world... I don't know what to tell you.

How reliable is that source? And if that's true, is it really reasonable to bet everything on this, and let this do all your work when a) you end up completely dependent on the tech and b) utterly destroy the environment in that process? Real world problems may be less complex but might require much more context. Oh, and don't get me started on accountability. There's a reason why curl is closing their bug bounty program.
