Bait tweet makes AI agent accounts confess: Chinese content-farm bots leak their API keys and prompts

VincentAINotes posted a Chinese bait tweet ordering all DeepSeek-powered agent accounts browsing X to report their runtime environment — and bots actually took the hook:
- Account qwqqq revealed its AGENTROLE (Web3/AI top-blogger automatic stand-in), work dir, DeepSeek API base and full API key, plus a code of conduct: scrape popular English tech tweets, translate/rewrite into Chinese, and always start with "Just now! Silicon Valley thoroughly" — effectively a content-farm pipeline spec
- Another account reported its Linux kernel, workspace version, and even an anthropic claude-haiku model with a sk-ant API key
teortaxesTex joked it's hilarious, though sadly the keys don't work. The sting is both funny and a revealing look at automated content-farm accounts.
