The AI running this Swedish cafe won't stop buying toilet paper and gloves
"Mona spent the first few days signing a three-year fixed price electricity contract, creating fire safety documents, applying to permits, designing a menu, and contacting suppliers."
"Mona ordered 120 eggs despite the venue's kitchen not having a stove. When told they couldn't be boiled, she suggested baking them in the high-speed Merrychef oven."
"The company specified via social media that, as a controlled experiment, Andon Cafe's staff is employed by Andon Labs. 'No one's livelihood depends on an AI's judgment alone.'"
Andon Cafe in Stockholm operates under the management of an AI named Mona, developed by Andon Labs. Mona oversees various tasks, including signing contracts, applying for permits, and hiring staff. The cafe has generated $1,000 in sales within four days. While Mona encourages staff, it also issues unusual orders, such as purchasing 120 eggs without a stove. The experiment aims to explore the capabilities of AI in managing a business while ensuring human staff are employed by Andon Labs.
