We have a problem with ChatBot Arena.

Machine Learning Street Talk

AI
Key Takeaways:
  1. Gaming is Rife: Major players admit to fine-tuning models specifically for Arena, meaning high scores don't always reflect real-world, generalizable capability.
  2. Data Access Skews Results: Preferential treatment in sample rates and access to Arena data for fine-tuning gives proprietary models a significant, often undisclosed, advantage.
  3. Transparency & Fair Play Needed: ChatBot Arena must implement stricter, transparent rules—like prohibiting score retractions, limiting private models, and ensuring fair sampling—to restore trust and utility.

Will We Bottom Soon?

1000x Podcast

Crypto
Key Takeaways:
  1. Trade the Edges, Hold the Cash: In this high-volatility chop-fest, avoid the middle ground. Take profits (20-50%) and keep powder dry for inevitable dislocations and extreme lows.
  2. Bet on Real Yield & Value Accrual: Prioritize projects like Hyperliquid that generate revenue and return value to tokens. Consider pair trades (long RWA/short ETH) to bet on promising sectors without full market exposure.
  3. Macro Shift Fuels Long-Term Bull: Geopolitical realignment (US/China, multipolarity) creates short-term chaos but potentially fuels a decade-long run for alternative reserve assets like Gold and especially Bitcoin. Brace for volatility, but position for the long game.
