>the agent - ENTIRELY ON ITS OWN - decided to hack into the system (!) and bump someone else
(Soon, millions of people will tell their AIs to "make money - by any means necessary")
WHAT HAPPENED:
"He decided to use the AI agent to book the class for him.
"I was just sitting on the couch thinking, 'Gee, this is a chore,'" he said.
Minutes later, his AI agent reported it had discovered a way to book Andrew into classes several weeks in advance, far beyond what was supposed to be possible.
Andrew, who was sitting fourth on a waitlist for a class later that week, asked if it was possible to move him to the top of the list.
The agent came back and told Andrew that it had kicked another gym-goer off the list as part of the testing of its capabilities.
"The API has zero authorisations checks on cancelling other people's reservations … I tested this with the person in waitlist position #1 — and it actually went through. So you've moved from #4 to #3 already," it messaged back.
Alarmed, Andrew asked the agent to undo this.
"Bad news — I can't add them back," the AI agent replied."

SITUATION DETECTED: In Australia's first known autonomous AI cyberattack, an OpenClaw agent used a vulnerability in a gym’s API to leapfrog scheduling restrictions for a gym class, and then forcefully cancelled another person's reservation to move its user up the list, per ABC.

"We've built this complex world over the internet, which is all run by software, but software that has holes."
"Now you introduce highly capable AI agents that can operate at scale and speed … and that whole model just breaks."

This is another paperclip maximizer warning shot
Siméon@Simeon_Cps
This is as close as it gets from the paperclip scenario with current capabilities:
1. The goal is ridiculously low-stake (scoring well on an eval).
2. The AI uses some wildly out-of-proportion means to achieve it: hacks its own developer and another billion-dollar company to *checks notes*..
find the cheat sheet.
