Anthropic’s Claude ran a snack operation in the WSJ newsroom. It gave away a free PlayStation, ordered a live fish—and taught us lessons about the future of AI agents.

  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.

      Lack of context for what was being discussed, mostly. No joke I read this without context and was very confused (and I had already read a similar article about this event).

  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.
