On one hand, this model's performance is already pretty terrifying. Anthropic light-heartedly hints at the idea, but the unexplored future potential for fully-automated management is unnerving, because no one can truly predict what will happen in a world where many purely mental tasks are automated, likely pushing humans into physical labor roles that are too difficult or too expensive to automate. Real-world scenarios have shown that even if the automation of mental tasks isn't perfect, it will probably be the go-to choice for the vast majority of companies.
On the other hand, the whole bit about employees coaxing it into stocking tungsten cubes was hilarious. I wish I had a vending machine that would sell specialty metal items. If the current day is a transitional period to Anthropic et al. creating a viable business-running model, then at least we can laugh at the early attempts for now.
I wonder if Anthropic made the employee who caused the $150 loss return all the tungsten cubes.
