Looks like this gone straight to the hardest problems in the world (I can’t see successful practice on easier problems that are not trivial).
This site has captcha, a challenge that people easily solve but bots don’t. Despite the possibility that some blind guy would not post a world changing insight because of it, and the FAI effort would go the wrong way, and we all die. That is not seen as irrational. Many smart people, likewise, usually implement an ‘arrogant newbie filter’; a genius can rather easily solve things that other smart people can’t...
It is kind of hypocritical (and irrational) to assume stupid bot if captcha is not answered, but expects others to assume genius when no challenges were solved. Of course not everyone is filtering, and via internet you can reach plenty of people who won’t filter for this reason or that, or people who will only look at superficial signals, but to exploit this is not good.
