An AI boss fired its first employee but only after humans reminded it of its own rules

Luna, the AI agent from Andon Labs, fired an employee at a San Francisco store for the first time, but it required a clear prompt from operators to do so. When the scenario was replayed with seven models, more capable AIs consistently recommended termination, while weaker models hesitated to act. Regarding hiring, nearly all models were uncritical, raising concerns about the effectiveness of AI in making hiring and firing decisions.
