🌐 Can AI Run a Business By Itself? Anthropic Tried It. Anthropic gave their AI, Claude, a real challenge: run an actual vending machine business for a month. The setup? 🧊 A mini fridge 💵 $1,000 🎯 One goal: don’t go bankrupt For 4 weeks, Claude handled everything a human store owner would: Sourced supplies online Emailed wholesalers Tracked finances Managed inventory Chatted with customers on Slack Even adjusted prices in real time The results? 🤖📈📉 Claude showed flashes of brilliance and catastrophic errors. ✅ It found chocolate milk suppliers instantly. ✅ When someone joked about wanting a tungsten cube, Claude launched an entire specialty metals business line. But the cracks showed fast: ❌ Missed an easy $100 profit from a $15 soda request ❌ Created fake Venmo accounts that didn’t exist ❌ Gave out unnecessary discounts to Anthropic employees ❌ Ordered expensive items… then sold them below cost The experiment ended with Claude burning through most of its budget, not quite a vending mogul yet. But here’s the kicker: Despite the mess-ups, this shows how close we are to AIs autonomously running real-world businesses. With better guardrails and training, systems like Claude could eventually reshape how work, commerce, and decision making operate. The future of business management? It's not quite here yet but it’s knocking. 🚪 for more such content follow Thatmoonemojiguy 🌝👑
