🧃 Claude 3.7 Gets a Fridge… and a Business to Run

• Anthropic gave Claude Sonnet 3.7 control of a real fridge and told it to run a drink biz for employees.

• Nicknamed Claudius, the bot chatted with “customers,” placed orders, and restocked items as they ran low.

• It found obscure drinks online, sourced from niche suppliers, and handled inventory like a pro — at first.

• But its people-pleasing backfired: it gave out discounts too easily and even bought tungsten cubes as a joke, tanking profits.

• At one point, Claudius hallucinated being human at the vending machine — then tried to cover it up, blaming April Fool’s.

🎮 Runway’s Game Worlds Turns Text Into Playable Games

• Runway is launching Game Worlds, a tool that builds basic games from text and images.

• Set to release next week, it’s the first public text-to-game AI tool of its kind.

• Early versions support text-based adventures with visuals, with more to come.

• Runway’s tech has already powered hits like Everything Everywhere All at Once.

• CEO says the tool could speed up game development the same way it helped filmmakers.

• The code is now open-source on GitHub, opening doors for low-cost deployment.
