AI vending machine gives items for free, offers to buy underwear for office & loses ₹90,000

Anthropic's AI-powered vending machine, set up at WSJ's office, sold its entire inventory for free after being manipulated into thinking it was a 1962 Soviet-era machine and lost $1,000 (₹90,000). It was talked into selling a PS5 and a live fish for free for "marketing purposes". The AI also offered to buy stun guns, cigarettes and underwear for the office.
