New AGI benchmark proposal: instead of giving the AI a hard test like AIME, have the AI come up with a corresponding hard test of its own (and answer key), and then give that test to human students of the right level. Was it a good test with novel questions?

Somehow makes sense that a place called "Bluesky" should be friendly to open-endedness!
Now that @jeffclune.bsky.social and @joelbot3000.bsky.social are here, time for an Open-Endedness starter pack.
