A Google Gemini-powered AI agent was given free rein to run a coffee shop in Sweden, and is quickly burning through its budget.

    café barista Kajetan Grzelczak sees it differently. “All the workers are pretty much safe,” he told the AP. “The ones who should be worried about their employment are the middle bosses, the people in management.”

    This shows that AI can’t do that job either.

      I wonder if AI would actually be good at replacing CEO and other C-suite positions, but was trained in such a way to purposely not be good at replacing a CEO because tech CEOs are the ones in control of this bubble.

        Tells me you’ve never used it and had it deliver extremely convincing analysis which turns out to be pants on head stupid when you dig into the nitty gritty. It is only useful if you can continually watch its output and make it redo anything that is nonsense and no the AI can’t watch itself. It will happily confirm that its nonsense is great. It needs either manual and continual analysis or guardrails that tell it when its wrong… It’s why it can be used for software because tests and error messages can catch it fucking up. Real life lacks such affordances.

          I’ve used AI for work. We have something built based on claude. I only use it for finding particular lines of code, finding datadog logs, maybe identifying bugs, and finding old Jiras. It basically just saves time then the rest I do myself or work with engineering.

          Your comment tells me you never worked with someone in the C-suite before. Most Chief level positions will happily confirm their nonsense is great.

      Yes but it is training from this and as a result should get better. Ai was bad at everything until it stole the Internet and used it for training.

        It’s an llm though, not really ai, and it hasn’t really gotten “better,” than automated programs to make decisions based on metrics, which would outperform llm’s as a ceo.

        Mind you, stealing the internet worked because they effectively had the sum total of human knowledge as a training set. I don’t think that there’s nearly as much detailed data on the minutiae of running a business.

        There is no model that can be trained in real time currently, and one instance isn’t going to offer anything to the model as far as new training data goes.
