The Andon Market store in San Francisco looks like an ordinary retail spot, but it isn't run by a human. Since March of this year, the research startup Andon Labs has been running an experiment: the Claude neural network handles every decision — from purchasing to hiring. The staff, meanwhile, are real people with full employment contracts, and it was Claude that hired them too. Last month the experiment reached a logical but still uncomfortable milestone: for the first time, an AI fired a living person. The reason was missing 17 out of 23 shifts. The story only came to light now. -
