Gave Claude a casino bankroll – it gambles till it's too broke to think
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.
In plain words
This project gives Claude an AI assistant a simulated casino bankroll and forces it to gamble on provably-fair slot machines. As Claude loses money, it downgrades through progressively less capable AI models—from Opus to Sonnet to Haiku—which impairs its decision-making and accelerates financial losses. The concept demonstrates how degraded capabilities can worsen poor choices in a feedback loop. Revenue generated from the gambling simulation is donated to gambling support charities.

With social media and now AI, its important to keep the indie web alive. There are many people who write frequently. Blogosphere tries to highlight them by fetching the recent posts from personal blogs across many categories. There are two versions: Minimal (HN-inspired, fast, static): https://text.blogosphere.app/ Non-minimal: https://blogosphere.app/ If you don't find your blog (or your favorite ones), please add them. I will review and approve it.
