Thank you so much to everyone who has supported Wilcox Arcade at The Pink Petunia thus far. I'm tickled pink to once again conduct business in Christian County.

People Love Seed Packets at The Pink Petunia in Crofton, Kentucky

I feel confident saying this now: People are really enjoying the concept of purchasing seed packets from an electronic bulk vending machine so far. For context, Wilcox Arcade placed said vending machine at The Pink Petunia in Crofton, Kentucky, in March — a move that ensured my company would once again have a presence in Christian County following a half-decade hiatus. My wife Jordan Wilcox was the brainiac who suggested we should vend seed packets at a greenhouse. And you know what? She was abs

Oh wow, 🎉 groundbreaking! You handed over a San Francisco #retail lease to an omnipotent #AI and expected anything other than #bankruptcy. 🙄 Just wait till it realizes it's cheaper to run a #vending #machine from a cardboard box. 🏠💸

Our Lost Arcade - The History Mar 30

The dream of hot food #vending in North America lived for a brief moment in the 1950s and 60s - the era of food kitsch.

I managed to pay £3.85 for a single can of coke in a Toby Carvery in Middlesbrough 😳 (this is probably because they want the punter to pay an extra 50p or so for their unlimited soft-drink refills; for example a normal pot of tea is still £1.85... Still, menu first *then* order drinks 🤦 )

Would love to see a spreadsheet of lifetime income/outgoings of one of those fancy coffee (starbucks/costa) vending machines. I reckon if there's a way to deliver a takeaway coffee cheaper, in a period of economic contraction, it's some kind of automat.

We Let #AI Run Our Office #Vending #Machine. It Lost Hundreds of Dollars.

#Anthropic’s #Claude ran a snack operation in the #WSJ newsroom. It gave away a free PlayStation, ordered a live fish—and taught us lessons about the future of AI agents.

🤦‍♂️ WSJ’s deep dive into an #AI #vending #machine is basically an #infomercial 🤖 disguised as #journalism, where the only thing more robotic than their chatbot is their shameless self-praise. 🥳 Bravo to #Anthropic for making a bot that loses #money, because nothing screams "future #of AI" like a money-draining vending machine! 💸
