Hi HN! We built a game for fun where you answer What Beats Rock? And you can type whatever you want. An LLM decides the outcome. Highscores reset every week.
One fun finding: We tried a lot of models and we found that Llama-3 is not as good at linking concepts to emojis as GPT-4o. Ultimately, 4o had the best reasoning skills that made this game possible.
The generative part of language models can make for really fun "single-player" games where you're really competing with the inventiveness of the language model, so there's some sense that you're playing a game with infinite hidden complexity.
defective adhesive -> pipe repair patch -> fluid leak -> hydraulic press -> drill -> bucket -> water -> fire -> a giant pile of crisp hundred dollar bills -> budget cuts -> reliable engineering -> leaky lithium batteries -> uninterruptible power supply -> power outage -> electrochemical rust removal -> rust -> scissors -> paper -> rock
I had more creative ones (unsuccessfully tried stopping a supervolcano with an asteroid sized cork bottle cap), but it seems surprisingly grounded in 'reality', if we can say that!

Hope -> Anti-life -> universe -> a nova -> a world -> butcher bacterium -> bird of prey -> serpent -> hunter -> dire wolf -> water -> rock
I like this game already.

I then defeated him with "Christmas Island domain registrar"

> Nothing beats entropy? That's like saying a vacuum cleaner can clean itself. Entropy always wins, folks!
Lame
Love conquers all! It's like a cheatcode.
