This is important not because it'd be funny for LLMs to gamble but because gambling tasks get used to measure human decision-making under risk / 47410

They’re unsympathetic, disconnected from humanity, their leaders are charmless and bland pseudo-people with a flimsy attachment to reality and nothing to lose.

perceptophore @perceptophore.bsky.social · 30/04/2025Okay fine, it’s on a perfectly flat Euclidean plane. Even better. Humans are adapted to pursue prey over miles and of open savannah until they fall over of heat stroke. Gorillas are adapted to eat leaves in the forest and travel less than 1 mile/day. 100 humans simply run the gorilla to death. 000

These primatologists completely ignore the physical abilities which set humans apart from almost all other animals: aerobic endurance, and throwing things.
