Why HN links it

HN readers link this post on ARC-AGI puzzles and whether AI can do maths. One commenter cites its o1 example as underspecified, supporting a wider point about ARC and IQ-style tests.

Summarised by Claude from a sample of 1 HN comments that link here. Each comment is marked recommending, critical or neutral (citing without judging); how this works.

Some musings on AI, gaming, security, machine reasoning and whatever else I'm working on.

What Hacker News says?

  1. Just a comment: the example o1 got wrong was actually underspecified: https://anokas.substack.com/p/o3-and-arc-agi-the-unsolved-ta... Which is actually a problem I have with ARC (and IQ tests more generally): it is computationally cheaper to go from ARC transformation rule -> ARC problem than it is the other way around. But this means it’s pretty easy to generate ARC problems with non-unique solutions.
