User hands Claude $1,000 and therapy transcripts to plan surprise birthday trip
billyjhowell · x · 2026-10-10
A user gave Claude $1,000 and minimal instructions — "you know me, surprise me" — to plan a birthday: a Bali trip, visa handling, a Korea booking, plus access to all her social accounts and even her therapy transcripts. She calls it either the most thoughtful birthday ever or handing her entire personality to a chatbot. A striking case of deep user trust in AI agents and blurred privacy boundaries.
