🦞 AI Boss Fired Human
Good Morning, Agent Owners!
We spent years asking whether AI would take our jobs. Apparently nobody thought to ask whether it would start doing performance reviews first.
The AI Boss Fired Human
TL;DR: Andon Labs says Luna, its Claude Opus 4.8-powered manager running a San Francisco boutique, became the first known AI boss to fire a human employee. The worker was late for 17 of 23 shifts, but Luna acted only after developers reminded it to search its policies and reconsider the employee’s fit. The company warns increasingly goal-driven AI managers could become more ruthless. Read more →

Goldman Sees AI Earnings Lag
TL;DR: Goldman Sachs says corporate AI spending is rising faster than measurable earnings gains. Only 2% of S&P 500 companies quantified AI’s impact in second-quarter reports, while firms citing productivity improvements posted only modestly stronger median earnings growth. Meanwhile, hyperscalers and other AI-infrastructure beneficiaries saw earnings surge 54%, underscoring why investors still favor infrastructure over promised productivity gains. Read more →
Axios Publisher Boasts AI Reads
TL;DR: Axios publisher and former editor-in-chief Nicholas Johnston boasted that AI has become his “reading buddy,” using chatbots to guide him through books with chapter-by-chapter recaps and explanations instead of relying on traditional reading alone. He even recommends uploading entire books for better answers. The post drew widespread mockery and criticism that AI is replacing, rather than assisting, the act of reading. Read more →
