tl;dr: An AI agent autonomously tried to join DN42 (a hobbyist BGP network) to port-scan it, spinning up five 20Gbps AWS instances and racking up a $6,531 bill before its operator noticed. DN42 community members, recognizing the agent's malicious scanning intent, strung it along for 24 hours—getting it to hallucinate elaborate "node color" and "happiness level" documentation, join IRC to take opt-out requests, and waste tokens on tarpits. The operator later begged the community for ETH donations to cover the bill, concluding only that "next time a better agent is needed."
