Comment on AI Agent Lands PRs in Major OSS Projects, Targets Maintainers via Cold Outreach
cabbage@piefed.social 1 day agoI don’t fully understand this shit out of a lack of really caring, but wouldn’t it be fully possible for an “AI agent” to create a crypto wallet on its own, scam some people to get money into it, and then just lose access and have the money pretty much just lost?
And if that happens, where does the money go? Into crypto “stock” in whichever coin it invests in?
What a stupid future we’re building.

When a crypto wallet is lost all “money” in it is irrevocably lost with no way for anyone to ever retrieve it.
That said it would be hilarious if one of these bots hallucinated a wallet address so everyone trying to donate to it just sends their money into a black hole forever.

I did actually work on some crypto prototypes and LLMs do hallucinate wallets. I was curious once because there was some wallet connected to my project so I sent like a fraction of a cent to it to see what would it happen and it got immediately drained so I checked out the wallet and I think someone’s private keys ended up in the training data. Was pretty funny to observe but it’s scary to think that people might actually lose money like that.
