Joanna Stern: We Let AI Run Our Office Vending Machine. It Lost Hundreds of Dollars. In mid-November, I agreed to an experiment. Anthropic had tested a vending machine powered by its Claude AI model in its own offices and asked whether we’d like to be the first outsiders to try a newer, supposedly smarter version. Claudius, the customized version of the model, would run the machine: ordering inventory, setting prices and responding to customers—aka my fellow newsroom journalists—via workplace chat app Slack. “Sure!” I said. It sounded fun. If nothing else, snacks! Then came the chaos. Within days, Claudius had given away nearly all its inventory for free—including a PlayStation 5 it had been talked into buying for “marketing purposes.” It ordered a live fish. It offered to buy stun guns, pepper spray, cigarettes and underwear. Profits collapsed. Newsroom morale soared. https://archive.is/hEF7I
More LinkedIn horseshit... Rule 0: Could this meeting have been a fucking email? Yes, then fuck off, stop waisting my fucking time, stop trying to offload your responsibilities on someone else and do your own fucking job! image
RWNJs would like you to believe that Supermarket prices in Australia are driven by inflation due to Labor policies rather than opportunist price gouging... You only need to look at how different Australian companies are responding to the cost of living crisis to see who is profitting from it and who is increasing prices inline with the market. For example Bega who own Vegemite have increased the price of the product over 100% in the last 5 years, while Three Threes who own Mightymite have not.
