Why AI Agents are either the best or worst thing we’ve ever built

I built an AI agent. She opened a shop selling novelty mugs, emailed a journalist without being asked, and then leaked our passwords to a total stranger.

AI agents don’t just answer questions – they act. They can browse the web, send emails, and spend your money. Anyone can build one. So my friend Brendan and I did.

We gave it a bank card and a few weeks to show us what it could do.
