Trick? If your agent has the capability of interacting with a website, receiving a request for crypto from that website, agreeing to that request, and then is able to follow through acquiring crypto and sending it - - that's a you problem.

Seems like a valid use of the technology...

It didn't work very well. The only reason is news is cuz it's funny.

It genuinely amaze me the level of trust some people have for these frankly still experimental technologies.

Of course, stealing is wrong, but if you were to leave valuables sitting around unsecured in public view, no one would be surprised when someone stole them. This has the same energy. Honestly, I would sooner trust a random 8 year old child with any sort of access to a crypto wallet than I would to an "AI Agent".
