Don't worry, it's fiction.

I don't think so. The cafe is a real place and it's owned by the company mentioned in the article. It was in the local news the other week [1].

If you're going to do an experiment like this, then Stockholm is a good place to do it, since the bureaucracy here is very digitalized.

		Yes, it is literally a place, I wasn't saying it wasn't. The fiction is that this is pure PR fluff of what is actually going on, a human/dev team is prodding this thing in ways to "manage" the employees. This was pointed out in their last PR stunt: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47794391 So yes, it is a type of fiction. They also have every incentive to hype this up, given what their company does. I really wish people had more skepticism and critical thought with these things, it isn't actually good at all for the AI space and its future success.
