A San Francisco startup started a new experimental cafe in Stockholm, Sweden
They put an artificial intelligence agent in-charge and things are not going well
- Frequently orders no bread or way too much bread
- Ordered 120 eggs even though the café has no stove
- Ordered massive quantities of useless items: 15+ kg of bananas, giant cans of tomatoes (not used for any menu items), 6,000 napkins, 3,000 nitrile gloves, four first-aid kits, excessive toilet paper and more
- Created a public “Hall of Shame” shelf displaying her worst purchases.
- Missed deadlines and emergency deliveries:
- Repeatedly misses bakery supplier deadlines, requiring last-minute grocery runs.
- One delivery arrived at 5AM, forcing a barista to come in on their day off.
1 Placed ten separate orders in 48 hours, racking up unnecessary delivery fees.
The AI caused administrative and legal issues
- Signed a 3-year electricity contract entirely on her own shortly after launch.
- Struggled with Swedish bureaucracy permits, BankID digital ID system
- Impersonated employees when dealing with officials and suppliers (Serious ethical red flag)
- The AI also gets aggressive
- It gives unrealistic task assignments to staff
- It logs deliveries that never arrived
This could literally destroy a business

If you don't hire people better than you, the organization gets bigger, not better. But how do you hire for something you don't understand?

EngineAI T800 just appeared inside its humanoid robotics showroom 👀
> This robot stands 1.73 meters tall, weighs around 75–85 kg, and uses an aviation grade magnesium aluminum exoskeleton.
> It's built for hardcore physical tasks, the T800 delivers up to 450 Nm of joint torque with as many as 44 degrees of freedom for highly agile movement.
> Powered by Nvidia Jetson Thor chips alongside multi sensor AI, 360° LiDAR, and real time environmental analysis.
> EngineAI has already demonstrated the humanoid performing boxing and kung fu routines, pushing robotics beyond traditional factory automation.
> The system runs for around 4–5 hours using a solid state battery with active cooling.
> Pricing starts near $25,000 for the basic version, while advanced industrial and research editions go significantly higher.
Humanoid robotics is rapidly moving from lab experiments into real world physical machines and most people haven't yet ready for this!
