Just want to remind people that when Anthropic installed an "AI soda vending machine" in the Wall Street Journal office, it ended as stupidly as you could imagine. Anthropic said it was the future and when the journalist managed to have a moment of lucidity and genuinely asked if it wasn’t a stupid idea, Anthropic answer was: "Well, you should probably prepare for that world" https://ploum.net/2025-12-19-prepare-for-that-world.html The same stupid people are now shouting "apocalypse" and the same journalists repeat them.
