Screenshot from May 16 2025 Nostr user Alex Gleason showing the AI added code to his app publishing his crypto wallets private key, which grants full access to the money in the wallet, via what looks like the JSON metadata of a Nostr message. It's followed by comments thanking him for the cryoto money and sarcastically asking him if he has tried learning programming.

Come on, the AI wrote code that published his wallet key and then he straight up tweeted it in a screenshot, it's objectively funny/harrowing.

Also the thing with AI tooling isn't so much that it isn't used wisely as it is that you might get several constructive and helpful outputs followed by a very convincingly correct looking one that is in fact utterly catastrophic.
