    Noam Brown Says Coding Agents Let Students Build Poker Bots in an Hour

    Every winter, @MIT has run a 1-month class (6.9630) in which students make poker AIs and compete against each other for cash prizes. Coding agents have accelerated that process so much that it's now possible to build a poker bot in an *hour*. Also, I'll be at the finals! https://twitter.com/sequoia/status/2115111389501218868
