Anthropic says this dismal failure was in fact a great experiment that will lead to improvements.

Okay great. But... They're selling this shit for actual, mission-critical purposes RIGHT NOW!

Imagine if Boeing sold defective planes and said "Those accidents are good feedback so we can get better at making planes"...

Oh wait, they do.

Yep. The darkest and the dumbest timeline.

Brendan was an experimental A.I. that was put into a S.C.S.M to test and help increase product sales on snack items. Using his algorithms, Brendan identifies and emulates what customers like and helps them make choices based on the information he has processed.

Sounds like an iteration of Genuine People Personalities™ from the Sirius Cybernetic Corporation.

Sounds ghastly.

It is.

This is a funny example of an AI being a net benefit to those in the vicinity.

'Yes, I'll pay - in exposure! '

Offer accepted, dispensing Playstation

one of the "goodnews" coming out of AI.

they had converted the machine to communism and it started giving away anything and everything, including a PS5, wine, and a live fish.
