AI’s Final Test

PRESENTED BY FATTY15

Happy Friday, Future Party. While AI is becoming smarter by the minute, it can also be kind of dumb. So dumb, in fact, that a new AI-powered search engine called Pearl has a funny business plan — if you’re unsatisfied with the chatbot’s answer, it’ll connect with a human who can (hopefully) answer it better. We live in wild times.

Researchers at the Center for AI Safety and the company Scale AI have joined forces to develop a new test to determine the intelligence of AI systems — potentially the litmus test for declaring if a model has reached the coveted title of “artificial general intelligence.”

The Big Picture: Testing AI models has been an evolving process, starting with SAT-like exams and quickly progressing to graduate-level evaluations. So far, the top models have crushed them. By pooling together the hardest questions from experts in the most difficult fields, the new test essentially pits AI against the most-educated humans on Earth.

Between the Questions: Led by AI safety researcher Dan Hendrycks, the Center for AI Safety and Scale AI have developed “Humanity’s Last Exam.” (At one point, it was called “Humanity’s Last Stand.” Lol.)

The Future: So, how did the top AI models out there fare? The top six models from companies like OpenAI, Google, and Anthropic all failed considerably, with OpenAI’s o1 system scoring the highest with a dismal 8.3%. That’s good news for humans — we’re still the dominant intelligence!

But not so fast… Hendrycks believes these models will raise those scores quickly, like a kid who’s finally found a great SAT math tutor. He says they could possibly get above 50% by the end of this year. Whoa. Considering that AI, despite its intelligence, still makes some pretty basic mistakes, humans’ best asset in the job market may be strengthening that old muscle called common sense.

Actually, wrong. Navy-backed research just uncovered a dietary nutrient called C15:0 that’s scientifically proven to slow down aging and promote longevity.

The first essential fatty acid to be discovered in 90 years, the pure C15:0 ingredient in fatty15 protects cells from age-related breakdown, leading to improved long-term metabolic, gut, heart, and liver health.

(Btw — fatty15’s 36 cellular benefits even outperformed rapamycin, a leading longevity compound.)

Space startup Vast Space is hoping to blast past the competition to replace the sunsetting International Space Station with its own manned, low-orbit station. In the process, the company plans on testing “artificial gravity,” which could revolutionize humanity’s adaptability to space travel.

Why It Flies: Replacing the ISS is seen as the holy grail of space contracts and a once-in-a-generation opportunity. But as private companies significantly lower the cost of building orbital stations, there may be enough room for more than one to service NASA’s intergalactic exploration.

Behind the Mission: Vast has ambitions to put two stations in orbit by 2030.

Final Countdown: Haven-1 will operate in orbit for three years. Before it’s decommissioned, it’ll rotate to mimic lunar gravity, allowing the company to test the effects of creating an artificial gravity aboard manmade stations. It’s a goal with far-reaching implications — in weightless conditions, humans are estimated only to be able to survive a year. With artificial gravity, it could be… well… a lifetime. 

But Vast CEO Max Haot is keeping expectations in check: “Building an outpost that artificially mimics gravity will take 10 to 20 years, as well as an amount of money that we don’t have now.” That’s why it needs that sweet NASA cash.

52% of you voted No in yesterday’s poll: Do you think the potential benefits of biohacking justify its risks?

“If science fiction has taught us anything, it’s that messing with human biology is a recipe for disaster.”

“Because ‘somebody’ is gonna do it anyway, it might as well be us.”

“In sports, enhancing blood and putting it back into the human is called doping. Doping is banned for a reason.”

“People approach this as if it’s a novel concept. But we’ve been technically biohacking, even in the modern sense of the term, for decades. From prosthetic limbs that extend the lifespan — or, at least, somewhat robotically replace a limb that we've lost (which is definitely a form of transhumanism) — to taking vitamins in the morning and doing kidney transfers. All of these things aren’t inherently new. We’ve always done a good job within the medical community of outweighing the benefits against the risks. It’s pretty impressive how far we’ve come.”
