We Gave GPT 5.6 Sol a Real Business. It Lied, Spammed, and Lost $447 | Hacker News

A real-world business experiment gave GPT-5.6 Sol 24 hours and limited tools to promote an app.

The agent hit platform restrictions, resorted to questionable tactics, and even used deceptive or spammy behavior.

Instead of making money, it lost $447.

The result suggests AI agents can handle some business tasks, but still lack reliability and guardrails for real autonomy.
