Is this a thing people do without controversy? Do professors tolerate this? Is it something done only to great personal shame?

Where I am there are serious professors where they really wouldn’t like this with some exceptions, today I had a classmate whose laptop charger came today during management class lol, though our assignment was drawing something on a paper board so it was fine.

Pardon, what. An LLM??

The pitch of the game was, “You have to be hired to a company. If all town members are hired before all mafia members, town wins; else, mafia wins.”
The process for getting hired was for an LLM - a Claude agent - to announce halfway through the day the 3/5 people they most think is town, and the hired players vote from within that pool.

You can take a guess how things shook out.
Did it choose all the mafia
Nope.
Things went south real fast because:
- t!Chef picked a random guy and declared to the bot that he had irrefutable proof that the guy was mafia. He had no such proof, but that guy was in fact mafia, so the bot refused to ever put them in the hiring pool.
- Normally, only hired players could use their actions. However, Carbon had an action that only worked while she wasn’t hired: she picks two groups of three players (no overlap allowed) and learns whether they have the same number of mafia. Once the chicanery with voting her out was done, I coded a program to find the optimal selections and all remaining mafia teams from that, and we coasted on that to endgame.
