At Paradigm's Frontier event, Dan Robinson presented "Games as research": sandboxed simplified environments where players submit strategies or solutions ranked by scoring functions, then iterate. Slides show 14 live challenges, 2,850 players and 45,938 submissions, featuring an RSI Simulator where AI agents compete in Recursive Self-Improvement (13,764 submissions), the Pace multiplayer game (202 players), and Simple AMM, a constraint game for designing free strategies for a Solidity AMM (724 players, 6,485 runs).
