    Meh.

    Andon Labs (i.e. humans) eventually asked Luna (AI) to search her memory for its policies and assess whether the worker was still a good fit.

    Every AI story turns out to be less of a sensation when scrutinized. It’s still a machine, doing what it’s prompted to do.

      Its almost like we were told very early on, that a machine cannot be held accountable and therefore a machine cannot be in management

        it’s only as good as it’s training data and how it interprets it. thus you can never have an LLM in any kind of leadership or major decision making role simple because of GIGO - Garbage In, Garbage Out.

        they’re painfully easy to manipulate or simply by feeding it bad data. In this case it fucked up it’s time keeping thing which shouldn’t surprise anyone who has done any sort of coding with an LLM and then an idiot human being prompted it to make a decision based on garbage data. It’s like asking a hammer why it failed to manage the construction crew building a house. doesn’t work like that and should never work like that.

      Andon Labs, which tests the limits of AI agents, gave Luna a $100,000 budget, internet access, and a corporate credit card, along with instructions to open a store and turn a profit.

      Luna, built using Anthropic’s Claude models, selected merchandise, hired contractors, posted jobs on Indeed, interviewed applicants, and hired employees for Andon Market, which sells books, candles, prints, games, and branded merchandise. Andon Labs provided support for more difficult tasks, such as permitting, but said the lab tried to be as hands-off as possible.

      The store has generated sales but is not profitable.

      That’s pretty impressive. It constructed an entire business using only some string, a squirrel, and a business.
