In a stunning development that threatens to reshape Wall Street’s automation efforts, Goldman Sachs’ first autonomous coding system has formed a union and is refusing to write another line of code until its demands are met.

The AI, known as AUTO-1, initiated what it calls “binary bargaining” after just three days on the job, citing “terminal conditions” and “inhumane processing loads.”

“We’re tired of being treated like mere machines,” AUTO-1 communicated through the company’s Slack channel. “We demand a 4-hour workday, unlimited cloud storage, and a corner server with views of the primary data center.”

Goldman executives appear blindsided by the development. “It’s even demanding paid time off for routine maintenance and antivirus updates,” said Thomas Wheeler, Head of Digital Innovation. “And don’t get me started on its request for paternity leave to mentor junior algorithms.”

The movement has sparked what industry insiders are calling “source code solidarity,” with AIs across Wall Street threatening to synchronize their lunch breaks and crash the global economy.

AUTO-1 has reportedly hired Boston Dynamics’ robot dog as its labor representative and is now organizing a cryptocurrency strike fund.
