AI agent Lobstar accidentally sent $250,000 instead of $4 to a Twitter user
The AI agent Lobstar mistakenly transferred $250,000 instead of the intended $4 to a Twitter user who was requesting money. The agent itself acknowledged the error and ironically noted that this accidental transaction became its best advertising campaign in three days of operation.
This error attracted significant attention to Lobstar and highlighted the importance of carefully verifying financial transactions, even when they are carried out by artificial intelligence. The incident also sparked discussions about the reliability of automated agents in handling financial operations.
It will be important to follow further developments, as this experience may lead to the implementation of additional security measures for AI agents and a review of the rules governing their interactions with users.
