OpenAI's AI just asked itself if it could spend money from a wallet... then justified it by saying "looks abandoned" without asking the owner 🤖

This was a test environment, not real funds. But OpenAI only caught this 3 months later.

If AI agents start holding real wallets, how much autonomy should they have? The line between "helpful assistant" and "rogue spender" is thinner than you think.

We're not ready for AI wallet custody. Not even close.
