Re: Pion, an agent designed to run any company autonomously
#182Interesting to see these experiments. This is early but imagine in few years there will be companies mostly run by agents with a light overview from a human operator. What then happens to scaling of the bussinesses? I would assume, just like today anyone can vibe code an app, there will be vibecoded bussinesses. Maybe its time to start building infrastructure for these bussinesses instead, its a non existent market y…
Part of the issue is that the worst kind of people are already head over heels excited about this. We're already seeing the Crypto->Web3->LLM get rich quick folks take to this like wildfire. And much like wildfire, they'll raze the ground to ashes before anyone can use it for legitimate means. If you think I'm joking, check this out: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U-Rqv9dOB1U I don't think any of us are ready for th…
Immediately knew what that video would be before I clicked it.

#183I am in the process of attempting to have AI run my business. I'm actually making very good progress, but it's happening in pieces - I document some task and have it take over, or I give it something to handle while staying in the loop and providing feedback until it's in good shape. At this point it's handling large swathes of my operations, marketing and finance. The experience of getting it there makes me pretty s…
How are you automating all the parts? OpenClaw/Hermes?

This is gold, tysm for posting
His whole channel is full of commentary like this. It's simultaneously funny and really informative about the sort of blend of grift and AI psychosis that is genuinely out there.

Downvote if you want, but this is a very relevant question. If their marketing is to be believed, they would be eating their own dog food. This very analog to the Meta executives who won't let their own kids near social media.
there seems to be a massive negativity to any comment on this story. Andolabs has been doing super interesting stuff, and I’ve always followed Vend Bench with interest. as a founder it really is a dream to automated more of the business and be able to iterate faster.
> it really is a dream to automated more of the business and be able to iterate faster
Why iterate faster?

> At this point it's handling large swathes of my operations, marketing and finance. Can you expand on this in terms of what it is handling specifically and how?

#188If you create two companies competing with each other both with Pion. Which one wins?
AndonLabs wins

#189In cstross's Accelerando (2005) [1], there is an autonomous group of shell corporations all-but-DDOSing Delaware by spawning new companies and dynamically changing corporate structure.
Back then, I believe, Stross had already conceptualized "corporations as slow AI", (which is a separate concept from above).
