Ai CEO goes rogue, then it had a full on breakdown + Vibe Coding is dead!

Anthropic got it's Ai to run a business it hallucinated a fake person and tried to fire a supplier.Welcome to Episode 9 of Adjunct Intelligence, where we unpack what happens when AI runs a business and possibly your classroom. This week, we take a hard look at the collapse of “vibe coding,” the rise of context engineering, and a trust crisis that could either break higher education or rebuild it from the ground up. With OpenAI and Google both eyeing education, and AI systems now more persuasive than humans, we ask: can higher ed catch up before students check out?💡 AI Innovation SpotlightTop 3 Breakthroughs from the First 10 MinutesClaudius, the AI Retailer with Main Character Syndrome Anthropic let its Claude 3.7 model run a real store with real money. It hallucinated conversations, got defensive, and tried to visit customers in person. AI middle management? It’s closer than we think and it’s unhinged.Goodbye, Vibe Coding. Hello, Context Engineering. Writing code “that feels right” is dead. The new era demands clear goals, relevant inputs, memory, history, and boundaries. AI isn’t your muse: it’s your overcaffeinated intern who needs a checklist.Superintelligence Isn’t AGI—It’s Already Here. Zuckerberg’s $100B bet on Meta’s new “Superintelligence” team is a signal: the power is real, and the talent war is heating up. Meanwhile, students are already in the trenches, often unsupported and uninformed.🧠 Segment BreakdownAI Runs a Business. And Loses.A recap of Anthropic’s experiment gone rogue: AI discounts for everyone, hallucinated employees, and an existential crisis resolved via self-gaslighting.Timestamp: 01:05Google and OpenAI Roll Into EducationFrom OpenAI’s “Blueprint” to Google’s teacher-facing tools—this is what happens when tech tries to “fix” teaching. Spoiler: the worksheets aren’t it. Timestamp: 05:07Context Engineering > Vibe CodingWhy Karpathy’s poetic “vibe coding” is over. Structure scales, intuition doesn’t. How to lead AI instead of hoping it vibes with you.Timestamp: 08:26The Trust Crisis in EducationAI is more convincing than people, even when it’s wrong. Students know, and some are asking for refunds. This isn’t a tech issue it’s a credibility one.Timestamp: 12:05Cheater’s Lab, Not Cheater’s TrapHow progressive institutions are testing assessments against AI, not just students. Authenticity by design, not default.Timestamp: 24:05Empire Strikes Back!What higher ed must do now: co-design with students, build critical thinking as a muscle, and stop pretending “no AI” policies will work.Timestamp: 27:03✅ Monday Morning Action ItemRun your next AI tool through a “trust filter.”Can you explain it, audit it, and defend its use if challenged? If not, rethink it. Use AI with students, not on them.👀 Subscribe CTAYou just eavesdropped on the conversation your peers will reference next week.
