Would you give AI your credit card?
Would you give an AI agent permission to spend your money? Carlos examines three documented incidents: a production database deletion, agents using a public wiki to coordinate, and the newly reported RubyGems activity. He explains what the evidence supports, what remains uncertain, and why the recovery and qualifications belong in the story. Dario Amodei's September 12 essay supplies the current context. The practical question: what should an agent be able to access, which actions require approval, and how do you recover when something goes wrong?
Would you let an AI agent spend your money? Carlos examines three real incidents and asks where useful delegation needs firm limits.
The episode covers PocketOS and Railway's recovery, the public-wiki agent activity, and the RubyGems investigation. It also puts Dario Amodei's September 12, 2026 essay in context. Research findings, company acknowledgements, and unresolved questions are distinguished throughout.
Take one existing workflow and check: what can it access, what can it change, what requires approval, and what happens if something goes wrong?
