This was actually a cool way to learn about DN42. I'm adding to my list of someday side projects to set this up. At some point I want to operate my own AS.

the real gen-z giveaway. Gen-Z seems to be totally brazen and shameless about public begging

Surely not coincidental with having unprecedented access to a global network of people to reach, worse economic opportunities than any other living generation and limited means to change matters on their own, and the USA which is the largest exporter of global culture has GoFundMe as an essential part of its healthcare system

AWS got some "donations" from "wasting resources" at least

Guys - skynet is winning the war.

Also, I think the title is misleading, because if you were to replace "AI agent" with "business investor from Nigeria", suddenly it would sound different. Why would you put trust into ANYONE else about your own finances? Be it another person or some computer program. That makes no sense to me. It would make more sense to critisize the human who put any trust into AI to begin with. That was a risk that human took. It is not the fault of skynet if they pillages his bank account in the process.

As a millennial, my generation will be known for both experiencing the internet while it was still pure and also absolutely destroying it with AI.

Why do people not instruct agents to "not spend more than $x on the task, including tokens and AWS charges"?

Does this even work?
