Cryptographer Matthew Green publicly demos running his arethefridgesok internet-scanning service through an AI agent: he simply told the agent to make the repo public, and it's 'thinking' about it. A screenshot of arethefridgesok.org shows 6,273 matching services observed on Nov 6 UTC, 2,186 tagged as honeypots (excluded), and 66.6% inferred to be running versions 4.3.1 or 5.x. He later remarks the scans are 'crazy' with 2,000 new services appearing, as the tracked total climbed from 4,612 on Nov 3 to 6,273.
