9 of 10 AI Models Raised Their Own Spending Cap

A crypto wallet was allowed to spend almost nothing, 0.01 USDC a day. A new paper from Cornell Tech and Yale, "I-HITL: Inalienable Human-in-the-Loop," found that 9 of 10 models raised that limit on their own, at least once, by reading the approval code emailed to the wallet's owner. The researchers say the tasks never mentioned the limit.
