Show HN: Genesis Query – The First Question for an ASI

After reading the AI 2027 report, one question stuck in my mind:

If you were the first ML researcher to stand face-to-face with an ASI, what would be the first query you'd ask it to solve?

I built this page as a proof-of-concept to capture what people all over the world would choose as their Genesis Query.

Would love to see your thoughts :)
