💣 Get Schwifty or Get Rekt: How I Built a Self-Tuning Casino Bot With Claude AI
I Built an AI That Gambles, Recovers From Losses, and Tunes Itself Every 5 Minutes — Here's Everything Over the past few weeks I built something I never thought I'd finish: a fully autonomous Mines bot for Rainbet that not only plays by itself, but uses Claude AI to tune its own strategy every 5 minutes based on live performance data.
