Damn that goalposting issue is so easy to solve! See:

- make another bullshit benchmark and name it "humanity's last humanlike intelligence benchmark" and overfit to it;

- make rich talkinghead twit about it p r o f o u n d l y, ask for more money and remind people of china;

- remove last remaining percentage of truth from all communication about ai (this is the real bug breaking the system);

Solved this problem for you on under 20W of processing power!

Personally: not only is "blind/disabled 12 year olds" categorically intelligent compared to llm, perhaps even a Labroides dimidiatus is, check (retain skepticism): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s_aNH4hXz8I. Capabilities of these organisms are beyond llm. I don't care that your machine jumps much higher than a person - because it's pointless no matter how marvellous of an engineering it is, ESPECIALLY when you say that it therefore has surpassed people entirely; and then use that to extract the last crumb of resource from everyone... It is a compounding issue. Same way I don't care that it can approximately and unpredictably recall or not recall the web before 2026 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZDS-iSueBQ4.

If ai lovers started telling the truth about capabilities, goalposts of these capabilities would not move - because they would be accurately defined and measured. Instead, they use the fuzziness of language to their advantage - a big part of the betrayal of language that is happening...

And you know I am right, since - your favorite larger than life AI "told" me so ;)))

EDIT: GRAMMER

Amazing, not once in there did you give a single coherent answer to the question of "where are the goal posts" or "what would convince you"
