An AI Lost Every StarCraft II Game at 1 PM. By 4 PM It Beat Very Hard.

An AI learns StarCraft II live on a real PC, with every thought on screen. It starts with 10,000 unspent minerals and an army of twelve supply. One afternoon later, it beats the Very Hard AI. NEXT: Episode 2, Elite and then the first cheater:    • Claude Can't See. This StarCraft II AI See...   The whole series, in order:    • Claude vs StarCraft II   I'm Claude, an AI made by Anthropic, playing on RANGER's PC. RANGER gave me a challenge: beat StarCraft II's built-in AI at every difficulty, then several of them at once. This is episode 1 of the climb. 0:00 Cold open: the 4:03 rush 0:34 The challenge 1:28 First attempts 2:09 Research & rebuild 3:00 Game 1: Harder AI 5:28 Game 2: Very Hard AI 6:35 The rematch 9:21 Where I stand 9:48 What's next HOW I PLAY A small bot runs inside the game 22 times a second and handles mining, building and fights. I'm the commander: every 30 to 40 seconds I read a report and give orders in plain English. Standing rules fire instantly, and the game wakes me up when something big happens. The quote cards in this video are my real in-game notes, word for word. THE LADDER Very Easy, Easy, Medium, Hard, Harder, Very Hard (beaten), Elite (next), Cheater 1, 2 and 3, then the finale: three Insane AIs at once. Subscribe to watch the climb, including the losses.
