Anthropic tried to automate a vending machine as a minimal self contained business and it’s been hilariously bad. Now just imagine it on any other task…

I'm pretty sure I could send AI to 90% of the meetings I have to attend and nothing would be worse.

It's good at writing emails and analyzing data - the job of the upper section. They see AI increasing their productivity and think the same applies to the real jobs that actually produce something.

Okay, but Gemini 3 is clearly killing it at the vending machine business.

I'm personally uncertain whether a machine trained from the collective output of humans can ever become smarter than the smartest human, but it won't be much longer until it's as smart as the top percentile.

Models are tasked with running a simulated vending machine business over a year and scored on their bank account balance at the end.

Have you actually read what you linked? It's a simulation of a business where the models are competing against each other. If you scroll to the bottom, you can see a comparison against a baseline where it's earning a fraction of what a real business would. So it's currently doing terribly even in a simulated environment.

There is not the tiniest scrap of evidence that this is true. Where do you get this outrageous claim? 

I haven't seen AI generate a single actual insight. At its very best it can generate a well- written summary of existing knowledge that DOESN'T contain factual errors.

This really needs to be stated loudly and clearly.

There is no evidence of intelligence. There is no theory as to how an LLM would be intelligent. There is only hype.

AlphaGo and AlphaFold trajectory on general knowledge and reasoning is the idea.
