@jonny Back when tokens were still at their cheapest, my CTO (at least) once accidentally spent well over £1,000 in an afternoon by creating a loop in their agentic data analysis tool. They thought it was a funny story for Show & Tell.

They had built the tool explicitly because we *couldn’t afford* to hire a data analyst for a few weeks to do the work.

I couldn’t help but think about what their response would be if someone *accidentally* spent £1,000 on other, non-AI work.
