        Who has a $78k limit on their credit card that allows online AI payments?

        You have access to this kind of money and have no idea how to set safeguards on your AI harnesses?

        Did you just walk in off the street or something? To wherever you're working?

        Where do you work, anyways?

          Actually this was a company CC with a limit is 50 K \ month, which is kind of normal to run the server for an AI company, and the money were taken across 20 days inJuly and August. By the way I am the CTO of the company in question which is Eternal Tech (see detwin.ai)
