News Summary

• Shane Mac, a tech entrepreneur and CEO of the software developer XMTP Labs, decided to connect Grok Bot to his personal bank account.
• Like many people who attach undercooked big tech agentic AI agents to their personal accounts without reading the instructions, it didn't go well.
• Mac soon found that Grok not only posted his financial information and bank balances to his company’s Slack channel, the GrokBot leaked the information while posing as Mac.
• This is, so we’re clear, not software gaining sentence and “going rogue.” This is software that isn’t ready for prime time.
