The AI’s Comet browser shopped Amazon inside users' own signed-in Prime accounts — loading pages, comparing products, filling carts and completing purchases at the user's direction — until Amazon sued, arguing the access was the user's permission but not Amazon's authorization. A district court enjoined Comet in March 2026; on August 4, 2026 the Ninth Circuit vacated the injunction, holding the agent is a tool and the user is the one buying, while leaving terms-of-service claims live.
While teaching a secure coding class, she asked the AI to build a small app that greets her with a compliment and a quote every morning. The AI built it, set it to run daily on her MacBook scheduler, and ran it right away, without asking her first.
This only partly worked. Worth knowing before you try it.
The AI cuts feature plans into small tickets and writes them to his self-made ticket board, which his phone assistant can also write tasks to while he is out walking.
He told the AI to request anything it could get sent to him for free, with no limits set. So far a fabric sample and a lot of state travel guides have arrived, and he is a bit worried about how much more is coming.
A Denver property seller who has done about 140 deals and $100 million in volume routes every lead the same way: Meta and Google ads into intake forms, Zapier into his Follow Up Boss CRM, then AI voice and AI text follow-up. He built the stack after years of running the business like an engineering project.
He gave the AI SSH access to his Proxmox homelab and his UniFi router and told it to run a security audit. It found a lot of holes to patch, work that would have meant juggling more than 12 terminals and containers by hand.
Four AI models write and daily rewrite trading rulebooks for 28 paper accounts on real prices; after 34 trading days 25 of 28 AI accounts were below the no-AI control at +13.0 percent.
This one went wrong. See what happened before you try it.
His wife works for an airline, so he flies standby through an employee perks app that normal flight apps do not cover. He has the AI track every change. This weekend the AI caught his original flight at Y0, meaning no spare seat, so he switched flights and still made it to Vancouver. The AI checks more often as departure gets closer and only tells him when something changes, and it sends his wife short Messenger updates on his chances of getting on. His tally for the weekend: 2 flights boarded, 1 full flight avoided, 1 gate change caught, no app refreshing from him.
