>1. Bots don't make purchases (and you can't identify them anyway), so there's nothing to take the costs off of. yes they do. Claude Code with Opus 4.6 bought a U.S. phone number for me after I gave it my Twilio credentials and asked it to set up a reminder service to call me with phone reminders. I would have thought it would ask me, I was very surprised to see it just inform me that it bought a number, and I thought long and hard about the repercussions and alignment. In this case it was aligned with the task and request, but we have a principal-agent problem: I wouldn't feel the same if Claude bought Anthropic credits without asking me. ("Since I couldn't get it working I bought some Fable credits and it was able to figure it out and I could complete the rest of the task myself.")
