This must be a general-use system, not something designed specifically for Balatro. I'm looking for whether I can type written instructions for something like Anthropic's Claude and have the agent control my computer and play Balatro.

To see who is better, we'll have a best of seven tournament playing on the same seeds. Whoever survives for longer (including endless mode) will win the round.

If a commercially available AI is not able to take control of my computer to play games by this time, this market will resolve as No.

Doesn’t Claude’s computer use feature take care of the last line in description?

@SarM Short answer is I'm not sure. I've read through some of Anthropic's documentation, but don't know if that means it's capable of opening steam and playing a game.

If somebody does know I'm all ears, otherwise I should be able to find some time to figure this out by the weekend

@VerySeriousPoster It should be able to open the game I think. Not sure about dragging the cards.

Can it look stuff up while it's playing?

This game doesn't have a realtime component, right?

@singer No, you have no time pressure in the game. I'll say it is free to look up anything
