This is such incredible bullshit and hype that it shouldn't even have been put out there

Conversation logs between the lab and Luna show that the agent had created an attendance policy but later lost track of it, allowing the employee's lateness to continue for months. Andon Labs eventually asked Luna to search her memory for its policies and assess whether the worker was still a good fit.

So what happened was, the 'agentic' or auptocomplete-on-a-loop fucked up, as all such systems do. Then a human went in to get things running again and nudged the system to make a decision. This is not science, this is not even an experiment this is just a way to pass the time and fuck around.

Just putting this out there, but is there no step to ask the employee if they are OK, or to give them opportunity to remediate? UK resident, so this seems ridiculously cold cut.

Right To Work ftw (Right to be fired for no reason)

Right to work is about your right to work in a union shop as a non union member and still gain the enhancements that the union negotiates.

At-will is the one that means you can be fired for any non-protected reason with no notice and you can quit with no notice.

Oh my gosh, you are so right. Sorry for my mistake and thanks for the correction.

The UK is very likely to be considered Communist by your current leadership. I'm also trying to get my head around how Trump and Musk describing us as an Islamic State.

It's the current genocidal talking point for the two murderous arms of the war god yhwh against that other murderous arm of the war god yhwh. Netanyahu dropoed the bullet point out earlier.

Soulless machines running businesses isn’t anything new, this one is just digital.

I love Andon Labs so much. Everything they do fails horribly, so they have to intervene constantly, defeating the purpose of their work completely
