OpenAI Dots wallet safety: four custom trading rules
A CS student argues OpenAI Dots' five safety features can't stop a bad trade, so he built hot-wallet rules: human approval for buys, free exits, blocked transfers out.
A 22-YEAR-OLD CS STUDENT READ OPENAI'S 5 SAFETY FEATURES FOR ITS NEW AGENTS AND FOUND THE HOLE: NOT ONE OF THEM STOPS A BAD TRADE. So he added 4 rules of his own before he let a single dot near his wallet. "The AI company handles security" is how you get drained. Sam Altman's OpenAI shipped real guardrails with dots. Every dot runs on its own isolated cloud computer. Stored passwords get used without the model ever seeing them. The agents are trained to resist malicious instructions. Monitoring can pause or stop a dot mid-task. A password change always comes back to a human. Good list. He asked one question: which of these stops a bad trade? None. They protect the account from an agent going rogue. A dot that does exactly what it's told, fast, can still empty a meme wallet. So he wrote the wallet policy himself, one rule per risk: dot → hot wallet → buy needs his tap → exit runs free → transfer out blocked The dot gets a hot wallet with only what he can afford to lose this week. Never the main stack. Every buy needs his approval, one tap every time. Exits run without asking, so a stop never waits for him to wake up. Transfers out are blocked. No exceptions, no override, not even for him through the dot. OpenAI built the walls around the agent. He built the walls around the money. Rules only cover the actions you thought of, and something nobody listed can still slip through. The small wallet is what saves you from the ones you forgot. Steal this: hot wallet only, buys need a human yes, exits run free, transfers out blocked. Ready to copy. One-person desk, the dot does about 90% and your only job is the yes on a buy. Save this and follow for the rules nobody writes. Which rule would you add as number 5?
