    Conversation logs between the lab and Luna show that the agent had created an attendance policy but later lost track of it, allowing the employee’s lateness to continue for months.

    Sounds like Luna should look into firing itself.

    Luna did not reach the decision entirely unprompted. Conversation logs between the lab and Luna show that the agent had created an attendance policy but later lost track of it, allowing the employee’s lateness to continue for months. Andon Labs eventually asked Luna to search her memory for its policies and assess whether the worker was still a good fit.

    Luna agreed that the employee should be let go.

    Petersson added. “But what we’ve seen in this experiment is not that the AI would be more ruthless or be worse for the employee in that decision.”

    No, what we’ve seen is the LLM not actually doing the managing, and just agreeing with a human prompting it.

    LLMs are excellent at agreeing with the people promting them.

    I have no idea whether $100k is a sensible budget for starting a store, but they note that it isn’t profitable.

    TBH, humans do the same shit.

    I’m not advocating at all for AI to take over being shitty, I’m just pointing out new boss is the same as old boss.

    I don’t know how I feel about this. This sounds intrigueing, frightening and sad at the same time.
