The title is apt. The Leaderboard Illusion is one of the fundamental flawed assumption. If a technology incrementally 'improves' on a score of an irrelevant benchmark isn't that like building a taller ladder to the moon?
There's a new paper out that offers a 68 pages critique of the way the popular Chatbot Arena LLM leaderboard can potentially be gamed by large AI labs with deep pockets. Here's my attempt at adding some extra context to the issues described in the paper.

Watching a kid learn to ride a bike. Always fascinating. Show me a humanoid robot able to spontaneously learn to control a machine like that, with minimal supervision and instruction and do it in a few hours. We don’t need fancy benchmarks to understand we are nowhere near AGI.
