To quell AGI hysteria I've posed a simple Algorithmic Information Theoretic IQ Test question:
What is the shortest program you can come up with that outputs this string:
0000000001000100001100100001010011000111010000100101010010110110001101011100111110000100011001010011101001010110110101111100011001110101101111100111011111011111
Yann LeCun responded:
"I can construct a computer for which the shortest program that generates this bit string has length 1."
To which I posed this question:
"Why do mathematicians spend centuries asking for their minimum set of axioms but, not even Wolfram's acolytes ask for the shortest meta-circular description of a universal computational structure?"
