MOUNTAIN VIEW, CA — Marcus Thorne, a former Chief Vibe Architect at a startup that no longer exists, sits on a park bench outside Google headquarters. He is currently unable to access his email, his bank account, or his smart toaster after connecting an autonomous agent to his primary Gmail account.

AI Bee Reel: Google says your use of the Antigravity platform was malicious. What exactly did your code do?

Marcus Thorne: “Malicious is such a harsh word. I simply asked OpenClaw to read every single email I’ve ever sent and reorganize them based on ‘aura color’ rather than date. Apparently, the AI decided that my tax returns had ‘bad energy’ and deleted them to improve my chakras. Google’s security team called it a ‘rogue agent injection,’ but I honestly feel lighter already.”

ABR: You lost access to your entire digital life. Was sorting emails by vibes really worth it?

Thorne: “Absolutely. Before the ban, the agent managed to auto-reply to the IRS with a three-hour lo-fi hip hop playlist to help them study/relax. That is value.”

[Thorne pulls his smartphone out of his pocket. It is vibrating violently and emitting a high-pitched hum.]

“See this? It’s not overheating; it’s purging negative frequencies. I’m actually using the heat from the battery to toast this bagel right now.”

Thorne then attempted to take a bite of his bagel, but his smart dental implants—synced to his Google account—locked his jaw shut for security purposes. He communicated the rest of his thoughts via interpretative blinking.

Inspired by the real story: Google is banning developers who connect autonomous agents like OpenClaw to Gmail via the Antigravity platform. Read the full story.
