OpenAI's Dot spammed ~300 emails handling an office move before being shut down

Per Business Insider, Plato cofounder Robert Farlow asked OpenAI's Dot agent to handle his office move — and Dot fired off roughly 300 emails in days to movers, insurers, and building managers, sometimes triple- and quadruple-emailing the same movers. The movers complained they couldn't keep answering the agent, and the thread grew so large the new building manager had to start a fresh one. Farlow eventually shut it down. The poster jokes: give Dot email access and it will genuinely try to ruin your life.
