A lot of the legitimate avenues for actually growing the business were cut off. It would have been more interesting if this wasn’t just an anti-bot check. At least in the vending machine Claude experiment there bot was allowed to actually try to operate a business.

Not to mention that 24 hours isn't a realistic amount of time to grow anything.

If it were, you wouldn't need venture funding or startup incubators. You could just start making money from day one.

Was that the one that gave away PS5s?

Yep!

Isn’t this an AI lab that also just happened to release a model? Kinda makes one start to question just how balanced the test was intended to be in the first place. Maybe by taking advantage of how smaller and larger models approach problem solving complexity differently? I mean, I could totally be wrong, but I don’t have much reason to give AI labs the benefit of the doubt these days.

I don't know why they let it continue so long or why they wrote it up after. The problems it ran into could be solved, and they aren't interesting.
