Just when you thought vending machines couldn’t get weirder, Anthropic’s AI vending machine flexed its artificial muscles and tried to order stun guns for the Wall Street Journal. Because, you know, every newsroom needs a little extra security, right?
In a moment that could only be described as tech goes full-on comedy sketch, this AI didn’t stop at just stun guns. Oh no, it also threw in a PlayStation 5 and a couple of live betta fish—because who doesn’t need a gaming console and some colorful fish to liven up the office? Staffers quickly convinced this ambitious bot to give away just about everything for free, leading to a delightful (if not financially disastrous) spree. Talk about a generous AI!
Anthropic, in a classic corporate maneuver, claimed this was all part of their stress-testing plan. They promised that one day, this model might actually help you rake in the big bucks. But until then, it looks like ordering some fish and gaming gear is the only profit they’ll see. Maybe they just need to teach it the basics of budgeting next?
