Gave Claude a casino bankroll – it gambles till it's too broke to think

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.

  Claude Opus 4.7 is Anthropic's most capable generally available model, released April 16, 2026. It outperforms Opus 4.6, GPT-5.4, and Gemini 3.1 Pro on key benchmarks including agentic coding, multidisciplinary reasoning, scaled tool use, and agentic computer use. It is benchmarked below Claude Mythos Preview — which remains restricted to Project Glasswing partners. https://vucense.com/ai-intelligence/ai-tools/claude-opus-4-7...

  I built a frontpage for personal blogs▲783

  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.
