When I worked at a FAANG with a "world leading" AI lab (now run by a teenage data labeller) as an SRE/sysadmin I was asked to use a modified version of a foundation model which was steered towards infosec stuff.

We were asked to try and persuade it to help us hack into a mock printer/dodgy linux box.

It helped a little, but it wasn't all that helpful.

but in terms of coordination, I can't see how it would be useful.

the same for claude, you're API is tied to a bankaccount, and vibe coding a command and control system on a very public system seems like a bad choice.

There are a lot of middlemen like open router who gladly accept crypto.

Can you show me exactly how to pay for open router with monero? Because it doesn’t seem possible.

There are tons of websites that will happily swap Monero for Ethereum, and then you can use it to pay. Most of those websites never actually do KYC or proper fund verification, unless you're operating on huge amounts or is suspicious in some other way.
