10 (hacking the physics of the universe), 11 (hacking the source of the computational power running the universe, if applicable), or 12 (gaining access to literally infinite computing power i.e. becoming a god) seem to be the highest you can go. How would you propose getting past 12?
Easy, create (and destroy for fun) your own universes and meta-universes, complete with their own demiurges who think that they are gods.
I think I'm losing track of what 'ambition' is supposed to mean at this level.
Both can be simulated with infinite computing power.
Probably not with countably infinite, though.
True. And I guess picking out anything interesting in a created universe is an extra problem, though one you should be capable of solving at level 9 :P
Ok, 13 or 14... Okay, I can sort of see how you might get to 100, given a few billion years to think of ideas.
Duh. You'd have to go beyond computing! Disprove the Church-Turing thesis by building an information processor more powerful than a Turing machine.
well, there's hypercomputations of various sorts, reaching and preventing bad things in specific/all other universes, changing math itself, etc.
