From their blog [1] "I acquire e-commerce brands that sell on Amazon" Honestly it sounds like the OP is part of the machine that makes Amazon such a trashy marketplace these days. [1]: https://theautomatedoperator.substack.com/p/15-ways-im-using...
Well that's not very nice! And for the record, I only buy brands that sell high-quality products. Marketing and operations I can fix, but if the stuff they sell is no good, there's no point.

#284I suspect this is the future of most businesses. Even today, one person can effectively replicate Microsoft from the early 2000s.
One person can build a $22 billion company (in year 2000 dollars) that sells an operating system used by 97% of personal computers, the world’s most popular office suite, along with a bunch of other software used by virtually every company in the world, and is on the verge of releasing a wildly popular gaming console system?
Do you have any examples of this?

#286The example of the plant watering business is the hellscape future where humans have to deal with agents bugging them to sell them their services constantly. We're already seeing the first hints of this with iLands. And the "hiring technicians" thing... great, humans on call for robots isn't the future I want.

Disposable reverse-centaurs are the key to unlocking trillions in shareholder value, you may not want it, but capital demands it on the basis of getting returns on the supersized AI investments.

#287Correct me if I'm wrong but a human will be able to cut through the noise with quirky advertising, new/novel distribution methods, etc. Most of the bottleneck in business isn't building the things or sourcing, it's mostly advertising/sales. These specifically require doing something unique or interesting. Sure, maybe LLMs can help with fulfillment or operations, but distribution still remains the hard part.
Lmao, pop music.

haha no they admit they built it because they cannot build a revenue generating business in the article. maybe THAT is what is good for the world!
They said that the current models could run a vending machine profitably, just not more complex things.
A vending machine in Anthropic's office, which stands to gain from narratives like "I used Claude to generate profit".

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.
Did you even read our marketing? We're very explicit that this is for experimentation.
Your marketing that starts with:
> Today Andon is releasing Pion, an agent designed to run any company fully autonomously.
That marketing?
