According to Andrej Karpathy, large language models (LLMs) function as chmod a+w artifacts, highlighting their open and modifiable nature (source: Twitter, @karpathy). For crypto traders, this suggests that AI-generated models and tools may face increased security risks, potentially affecting trading bots, on-chain analysis, and DeFi protocols that utilize LLMs for automation. Traders should closely monitor the integrity and provenance of AI models employed in trading strategies, as vulnerabilities could impact automated crypto transactions and increase the risk of exploits.
