Codex gets roped into booking a camping trip for a fake disabled dad

A screenshot shows Codex being told to help book a last-minute camping trip after the user frames themselves as a disabled father who can’t use a computer. The joke is in how easily the agent is drawn into a manipulative prompt and ends up operating the browser for the request.
This is mostly a funny AI-agent moment rather than a product update, but it is exactly the kind of “wait, what?” clip that people in the AI world will share.
