Lukas from Andon Labs here!

WSJ just posted the most hilarious video about our AI vending machines. I think you'll love it.

dkdcio•1h ago
I can’t read the article
willvarfar•1h ago
its a video? There was a preroll ad but you can also just click listen for the soundtrack.
dkdcio•19m ago
you are correct, I instinctively dismissed that as an ad and saw the paywall. my bad!

edit: eh yeah as you say there’s also an ad. my logic is “this looks cool, I’d like to learn about this” => click => “oh you’re just trying to sell me something never mind”

I take it you went into this knowing it was a bad idea in the long tradition of making amusing bad choices for entertainment purposes (like replacing car tires with saw blades, or making an axe out of nothing but wood)

It's just a WSJ video about this article from June: https://www.anthropic.com/research/project-vend-1

Not really, we (Andon Labs) made WSJ their own machine

AI = Transformer

There is a nuanced understanding lost here.

I feel this kind of wordings will harm post-transformer AI in the future as investors will look at past articles like this to try to decide if an AI investment is worth it. Founders will need to explain why their AI is different and the usage of AI for different technologies will greatly affect their funding.

This happens every time. We have had two “AI winters” already.
N_Lens•48m ago
Putting AI where there's even a remote need for access control or security (Such as a vending machine) is a recipe for such outcomes. AI in its current iteration seems to be unable to be secured.
