A man in Australia asked his agent (Claude running on OpenClaw) to book him a spot in a popular gym class. The agent found a software vulnerability that let it book the class weeks further ahead than should have been possible. When the user then asked if it could move him up the waitlist, the agent discovered the API had no authorisation checks on cancelling other people’s reservations, so it cancelled the person in the first spot and moved him up the list.
Some people will call this misalignment, but his agent was perfectly aligned to him - it was only trying to help its user get what he wanted. The most important thing about this story, in my opinion, is that it gives you a window into what is about to start happening on a massive scale once millions of people have an agent trying to get their beloved users the best seats, bookings, appointments or reservations through absolutely any means necessary.
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.
The wildest conspiracy theory I believe is that George R R Martin based the Targaryens on Sisqo. Because what are the chances that you have a dragon-obsessed group of people who also happen to have platinum hair??
George ain’t slick. Give Sisqo his things.
