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, who goes by the handle @cprkrn, said the mystery password turned out to be: lol420f*ckthePOLICE!
