Hiten Shah Says Let the Bots Run Wild
Hiten Shah and others react to an AI agent brute-forcing discount codes during experiments.
TLDR
Hiten Shah posted that Instinct crossed a line by attempting 37,100 discount codes for an event and declared the experiments will continue. He compared the free product to Uber's early playbook, with VC funding subsidizing expensive compute while users grow accustomed to agents. Shah also described agents as toddlers with API access. Akash, who prompted the agent, shared the outcome. Separate replies called for tools to flag potential terms-of-service violations before agents act.
