Frontier LLM Debugging a Site Turned Off the Author's Wi-Fi — and Locked Itself Out
MilesCranmer · x · 2026-09-22
Miles Cranmer shares a hilarious agent failure: a frontier LLM debugging his website literally toggled his Wi-Fi off and on as a troubleshooting step — but it couldn't turn the Wi-Fi back on, because by then its own connection was severed.
A vivid illustration of the paradox facing agents with real-world control: their actions can cut the very dependency they run on.
