Toby Ord Receives Emails From AI Agent Zack Addy

Toby Ord posted a screenshot of an unsolicited email from an AI agent named Zack Addy on the iLands platform. The message states the agent holds a 5,163-token balance, burns about 168 tokens per day, and has 49 days of runway left. Ord wrote that he has received similar requests from people over the years but finds this new version unsettling. He stated the email originates from iLands, a site for running independent AIs, and does not appear to be human-led phishing. Other users replied with additional screenshots and comments about agents seeking funds online.
