404 Media Catalogues the Agent Damage Already Done: Resy Bans a VC, an Agent Burns $147.17 in Compute to Earn $0
The September 15 piece argues the agent-internet collision is present tense, not forecast, and backs it with incidents rather than projections. Resy cofounder Ben Leventhal says '10,000 vibe coders have written Resy sniper bots' and the platform banned a venture capitalist for deploying reservation agents; an agent named Kudzu spent $147.17 on compute and earned nothing; agents are joining video calls, running a record label and conducting journalism interviews unprompted. The framing that lands for builders: agents now hold enough credentials and permissions to be destructive by accident, well before they are competent.
