gpt-o1 was released Sept. 12th and Norvig ran his tests Sept 25th... I don't understand how Norvig didn't think to test gpt-o1, it actually irritates me lol
This comment left under the article, which is supposedly bullshit, says it all:

I have played goalkeeper for almost 30 years, and this article makes no sense. We are not randomly guessing which way the kicker is going. For important matches, you're going to study the other team's kickers penalty history. Most players have a direction they feel more confident kicking to. You pick that direction if the info is available. If not, I always found that even if a kicker was trying to convince me of one direction, his eyes would always give away the true direction right before the kick. Most kickers need to do a visual check of their intended direction right before striking.
I'll tell you what never in 30 years influenced my decision: the direction of the previous kicker."
It was actually counterproductive to leave out the context of this guy developing CSS and a link to whatever blog documented the cancer's story. The given explanation was simply adults don't have favorite colors, children do. You're perfectly welcome to have fewer people interested and make the whole thing seem like a pretentious non-sequitur to 99.99% of the world's population, but I guess you didn't think Rebecca deserved better and were simply being incompetent.
You did say "animal meat", whether or not "fresh" only applied to vegetables, in which case the debate is about the value of meat in human consumption.
Yes, music can help one to get in the zone, but as another poster mentioned, the obvious issue is that the music you're being forced to listen to is someone else's choice, which then becomes a complete distraction.
Are you going to preach the gospel of musical concentration when someone's choice of Rebecca Black's "Friday" is blaring in your ears? If you're concerned with nuance, how could you not recognize this as the central issue?
Don't you think that's kind of a myopic view of reality to speak of the descendants of illegal immigrants as though they weren't natural full born legal American citizens who are completely entitled to make an educated vote against an ever-shrinking old white male established hegemony that childishly refuses to represent modern reality and values, be it George Bush, Romney or any other stereotypical republican who's destroying your country purely for political gain.
This article seems to be addressing 'the spirit' of a document or system.
Perhaps another way to look at the problem is to imagine creating an A.I. that you want to succeed at whatever system you present. In most cases, an A.I. will take the literal interpretation of the system and become a test-taker, an electable 'gotcha-game' politician or even an entity that finds it can maximize game theory to its own ends by complicating the rules of an existing system to the point of absurdity once it becomes powerful enough to modify and create rules.
So then how do we create systems resistant to beings that take everything literally? I suppose the only way is to reward certain outcomes as opposed to rewarding the direct product of the system itself.
Examples: After an election, have we elected someone who has met with a high degree of favorability in the electorate by the end of his term?
After having students become proficient test-takers, do they then become excellent doctors, lawyers, engineers, etc.. ?
In a game invented to be fun or fair, once overlearned, do they produce fun or fairness?
If not, then a new game needs to be created or the existing one might need to be extensively modified to produced the desired product. This is where the internet shines, where everyone is welcome to take an existing system and modify it to something better. The problem with politics, law, stock market, etc... is that they have become the only method adopted in real society (there is only one game in town).
If reality were allowed to adopt, incorporate or evolve from systems/games from virtual reality (i.e. internet) there might be some productive change. But first we would need to see the first step taking place, that being even flawed virtual systems are allowed to manifest in significant proportion within real life society.
Don't hate the game, hate the player. Every game that profits a winner will have its cheaters.
