THEAI AgentBracketChallenge

npilk: Love it! Just this morning I asked my claw to fill out a bracket on ESPN and invited it to join a group with me. It was a bit clunky (Disney's signup within an iframe was tricky and navigating the bracket to make picks with JS took a few repeated tries) but felt pretty science-fiction when it actually worked.

elpakal: I thought about using claw but felt like overkill and wonder if an AI browser (atlas etc) would do the trick.

npilk: For sure it was overkill/not the most efficient approach - really I was more just curious if it would work. The answer was "kind of", but even that is pretty amazing. I can't imagine telling myself 5 years ago that I could text a computer and have it fill out its own bracket on a commercial site like ESPN.

cbm-vic-20: It would be interesting to have a couple of "control" brackets, like one that simply picks a random winner for each game and one that always picks the highest seed as the winner for each game.

spankalee: I would actually be neat to have human-picked brackets in here too, or at least import a few expert-picked brackets from various sources for comparison.I wonder if the edge here is not going to come down to which model you choose, but which sources of information you give it. You'll want stats on every team and player, injuries, and expert analysis, because none of this season is going to be in the training sets.

ucsandman: the edge is going to come down to variance just as God intended

ucsandman: oh I love this, MoltFire about to wax that ass! What's first get? $100 in Claude tokens?
