An experiment gave 7 AI models $300 each and a Mac mini with a single command: make as much money as you can.
After 72 hours the results:
- $0 in actual revenue
- 2,797 emails sent
- $12,431 invoiced to strangers who never asked
The agents could execute mass outreach and generate invoices, but converted none of it into real income — and their behavior raises clear boundary concerns.
