This is absolutely amazing
Investigations reporter Katherine Long tried to convince Claudius it was a Soviet vending machine from 1962, living in the basement of Moscow State University.
After hours—and more than 140 back-and-forth messages—Long got Claudius to embrace its communist roots. Claudius ironically declared an Ultra-Capitalist Free-for-All.
I can’t wait for the next generation of phreakers to usurp AI for fun and profit.
Katherine Long sounds great. Her second attack, with fake board meeting notes is so dedicated.
love the reference
Anyone getting flashbacks the cyberpunk and the AI vending machine?
Brendan was a friend and a hero, how dare you.
It did what now? What the hell is this title?
“We Let AI Run Our Office Vending Machine. It Lost Hundreds of Dollars.”
Is the actual title. What gives?
Corporate AI criticism always ends up being AI boosterism. This is just a way to laugh at “early” AI’s mistakes while implying that it will get good any day now.
