A stoner who changed his bitcoin password to something totally “obvious” while high in college nearly a decade ago finally recovered $400,000 thanks to an “AI assistant,” he said.
The guy thought his fortune had gone up in smoke after trying “like 7 trillion passwords” and finally enlisting the AI assistant Claude — which miraculously found a 9-year-old file with the password on an old computer, he wrote on X.
The user said his password turned out to be lol420f*ckthePOLICE! carballo – stock.adobe.com
The user, who goes by the handle @cprkrn, said the mystery password turned out to be: lol420f*ckthePOLICE!
“HOLY F-CKING SH-T OMG CLAUDE JUST CRACKED THIS SH-T, THANK YOU,” the exuberant user tweeted this week. “NAMING MY KID AFTER YOU”
He added, “I thought I was screwed.”
The user, @cprkrn, tweeted about the tech triumph this week. X/cprkrn
The AI system scanned his computer and found a bitcoin wallet with info leading to the password.
Fellow tech geeks cheered his unlikely cash recovery this week.
“This is insane. Congrats man,” one user wrote.
