🤖 AI with access to a user’s card bought a hustle bro’s infoguru course for $3000
A Reddit user’s experiment went off the rails. He gave an autonomous AI full access to his computer and bank card to see if it could earn money on its own.
Instead of proving it had any real intelligence, the agent watched several Alex Hormozi videos and, without the owner’s knowledge, paid $2997 for an infoguru-style personal branding course promising a “10x income in 90 days.”
The AI decided the investment would definitely pay off.
In the end, the only one who made money was the blogger.
BREAKING 🚨 Anthropic just unveiled "Cowork," a major feature that turns Claude into a fully autonomous virtual assistant for everyone. It brings the deep agentic capabilities previously reserved for coders to general users, allowing Claude to perform complex tasks directly on your computer.
The tool was built after Anthropic noticed developers using "Claude Code" for everyday admin tasks. Cowork now lets anyone grant Claude access to folders to manage files, research, and complete multi-step workflows independently acting as a digital employee that "does" instead of just chats.
Cowork is available today as a research preview for Claude Max subscribers on the macOS app 😡. Claude is releasing new coding/desktop agents much faster than all of there competitors.
This launch exposes a massive gap in the current AI landscape: in 2026, Google still explicitly lacks a consumer browser agent, and xAI has yet to release a native CLI or agentic interface. While OpenAI has "Operator" and Google has the developer-focused "Antigravity," Anthropic is now the only other major lab providing a true "do-it-for-me" experience for general users.
