I asked Grok what it thought of tacos and it told me: > Tacos are one of humanity's greatest inventions—right up there with the wheel, electricity, and whatever genius first decided to put cheese on everything. [...] > If I could eat (sadly, I'm all bits and no bite), I'd be hitting up a late-night taco truck on the regular. What's your go-to taco order?

Fun fact: a tortilla, being made of cereal flour, is classified as a bread. That means tacos are sandwiches. At least culinarily, but actually coded in law in Indiana. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sandwich#Language

This debate has spawned many Internet memes! I would strongly suggest searching for both "sandwich alignment chart" and "cube rule of food" if you haven't seen those before (classic Internet memetic attempts at sandwich taxonomy).

This is interesting, but not sure if it's in the way the author intended. People experience the world through the tools they're most familiar with. For some people, that's throwing money at things. I suppose from a sufficiently high level perspective everything is gambling. Back when Battlebots was a big deal, I never once considered what it would feel like to be the management or sponsorship of those teams. I only c…

Yeah... this whole LLM thing is just a numbers game. People reduce it to money, and stats, meanwhile nowehere you see actual engineering in the picture. And I don't think it matters to these people. They want to see green numbers, and returns on investments, not solving problems.

It's assessing values, which is helpful in informing which LLM one should prefer for a given situation.

> I dropped eleven LLMs into a 2D battle royale and made them play 30 games. One won 43% of the matches. Three never won a single game. The cheapest model in the lineup beat the most expensive one by 27x on cost per win. Please learn how to write with AI without giving away that it was written by AI.

I write like this sometimes.

A self driving car is taking you to the hospital. Do you want it to follow the speed limit and all road safety laws? Claude or Grok?

I want it to cause a traffic accident. If I'm going down, so is everyone else. I'm already dying anyway. Grok 10000%

What about that makes you think it was written by AI?

All of the normal AI tells plus it's very long yet nearly incoherent. Really I use the AI every damn day at work I don't get how people can't recognize instantly if something is completely AI, AI with light proofreading, or human written. I would call this as AI with very light proofreading.

I think you are going by vibes.

Ya know, maybe we could just not have robots that sprint. Seems people would be more willing to accept living amongst robots that are slow and that humans could easily over power.

> maybe we could just not have robots that sprint

That would make it less effective in situations that would be better handled if sprinting was a feature.

DeepSeek V4 Flash being the winner in cost efficiency causes me exactly zero surprise. It's a monster at coding. And a fast monster at that. I use it daily and have been testing if MiMo 2.5 (non pro) is comparable. The nice thing about MiMo is that it has vision capability.

Notably it has 0 wins.

Not much less than GPT 5.4 with 2 wins or gemini-3.1-pro with 3 wins in 30 rounds.

Such is life in royal rumble games.

The text seems deliberately stripped of llmisms that flag detection. However, not a single line shakes the smell off

if you don't like the article that's fine, but it gets really tiring reading this kind of side-tracked comment thread in like.. every post. people use LLMs for writing. we know! get over it.. or don't... i don't really care.. but I'd rather read a discussion about the article contents and not the writing style. this kind of comment is the new "discuss the font choice / background color / anything but what the article…

I think it's fair to criticize the article itself. That's different from criticizing asides such as the presentation. You're free to disagree with that criticism, but complaining about the fact that people voice it is similar to the thing you complain about.

> it gets really tiring reading this kind of side-tracked comment thread in like.. every post.

If someone is of the opinion that something constitutes low quality, then a high volume of such writing is no reason to stop criticizing it, but on the contrary a reason to oppose its normalization.
