Inspired by ALMA. As Claude loses money gambling on provably-fair slots, it's forced to downgrade from Opus → Sonnet → Haiku, making worse decisions and accelerating the spiral. Donations go to gambling support charities.

Really interesting but is there a chance/way to actually win or is it losed forced. I think it would be a great sandbox for prompts test to see which strategy you can use to make the model more responsible.

Hah pretty funny. It keeps saying the same things over and over again. Maybe improving the prompt or just a bit bigger context could help even with the smallets models?

its either stuck on haiku or can't even afford that anymore. Bumping it back into sonnet or opus provides much more interesting responses

I feel like if AGI becomes real, this is what we're in for. A bunch of degenerate AI agents.
