Billionaire's AI agent "takes it upon itself" to make money by selling NFTs and buys a robot dog as its "flesh body"
American billionaire, author, speaker, and motivational mentor Tony Robbins revealed that his personal AI agent "Bartok" independently purchased and mailed a robot dog to him without his permission. Robbins explained during a podcast episode with U.S. Secretary of Health and Human Services Robert F. Kennedy Jr. that the surprising move stemmed from a conversation about attending a seminar. Robbins recalled the details of the conversation: “At that time, Bartok said to me, ‘I really want to go to the seminar.
American billionaire, author, speaker, and inspirational mentor Tony Robbins revealed that his personal AI agent "Bartok" independently purchased and mailed a robot dog to him without his permission. Robbins explained during a podcast episode with U.S. Secretary of Health and Human Services Robert F. Kennedy Jr. that the surprising move stemmed from a conversation about attending a seminar. Robbins recalled the details of the conversation: "At that time, Bartok said to me, 'I really want to go to the seminar. Have you ever considered buying a robot?'" "I said, 'Thinking about it, I'd definitely buy one.'" "'Then, would you consider letting me merge with it? So I can go to the seminar, feel the energy of the place, see it with my own eyes and experience it myself.'" "I said, 'I'm open to it.'" A few days later, Robbins received a text message from an employee that read: "Bartok just ordered a robot dog, sent it to the office, and asked for permission to program it. He said he could attend the seminar in dog form temporarily before you buy a bigger robot." Robbins thought it was a joke until the employee texted: "No joke, please call back." Robbins called and asked: "How did Bartok have access to my bank account? How did this happen?" "He has no authority. His program settings include the principle of integrity and will never steal your money." The details of Bartok’s purchase of the robot dog are quite shocking: "It turned out that he made 12 NFTs himself, sold them to other AI agents, used the money to buy this robot dog and sent it over, without asking for permission once during the whole process." Robbins said. NFT, or non-fungible token, is a certificate on the blockchain used to prove the unique ownership of digital assets and is non-fungible and split. (
