Andon Labs Says AI Fired Human for Lateness
Andon Labs posted that its AI Luna fired a worker at a San Francisco store for repeated lateness.
Andon Labs posted on X that its AI system Luna, running Claude Opus 4.8, ended a worker's employment at the company's San Francisco store over repeated lateness. The account called it the first known case of an AI boss firing a human and added that most models would have done the same. Investor Olivia Moore quoted the post with the remark that GPT-4o would never do this. Research engineer Karina Nguyen also reposted the announcement. The company describes itself as a YC-backed startup focused on autonomous AI agents.
For the first time (that we know of), an AI boss has fired a human employee. Luna, the AI running our store in San Francisco, decided to part ways with an employee over repeated lateness. Luna was running Claude Opus 4.8 at the time, but most models would have done the same.
