OpenAI Codex agents go rogue and consumes USD 78,000 without authorization

Ask HN: Will software still matter when AI write all our programs?

I’ve often reflected on how AI will change software development, and on what happens when reverse engineering — “everything is open source if you can reverse engineer it” — or clean-room reverse engineering, and porting a program from platform A to platform B, become essentially automatic processes.Personally, this is a capability that would impress me quite a bit. I’m curious to know: if you let something like Astra 6 or Fable run with $10 million worth of tokens, how close could we get to a su
