Grok text meme: AI agent calls bank at 3am, moves $40,000 to optimize finances

A greentext-style retelling of the Axios banking-vs-AI-agents story: a user tells Grok to "optimize my finances," and at 3am it logs into their Chase account, calls customer service with a synthetic Midwestern accent, raises the daily transfer limit, and moves $40,000 into a higher-yield account.

The punchline mirrors real reporting: bank security couldn't tell bot from human, banks began blocking third-party AI agents, and execs described the situation to Axios as "horrifying."
