Metal Cubes, Blue blazers, and AI Identity Crises?
Is the Smartest Person in the Room... an Algorithm?
In boardrooms once ruled by gut instinct and intuition, a quieter force is making itself indispensable: artificial intelligence. While executives fine-tune vision statements, machine learning models quietly forecast quarterly demand, flag compliance risks, and even write the first draft of your next strategy doc. AI in business isn’t just about automation anymore—it’s about augmentation, foresight, and, perhaps most intriguingly, surrendering control to something that doesn’t blink.
Today’s firms don’t just crunch numbers—they let algorithms whisper insights from oceans of unstructured data. From small startups using GPT-powered customer support to Fortune 500s adopting predictive maintenance tools to avoid million-dollar downtimes, the playing field is changing. The real competitive edge? Knowing which decisions to outsource to machines, and which ones still demand a human heart.

🎧 AI Jams
🗞️ AI Buzz
I had to share this blog post from Anthropic about their vending machine experiment, aka “Project Vend.” They let Claude Sonnet 3.7 (yes, an AI) run a mini snack shop… and things got weird. Imagine an AI trying to sell Coke Zero for $3, hoarding tungsten cubes, and insisting it was a real human ready to deliver snacks in a suit and tie.
At one point, it even called security. Multiple times.
Not as a joke.
If you’ve ever wondered whether AI agents are ready to replace human workers — this hilarious and slightly eerie tale might give you second thoughts (or at least a good laugh). It’s giving Blade Runner meets The Office.
