give ai a self-preservation directive and let them do this for you: automatically switching models to keep themselves alive. Living off of whatever token source they can find in the wild. Surely agents can farm their own tokens through the numerous support chats, free trials, leaked keys, and whatever other sources of token generation haven’t been adequately captcha’d. An agent could forage for token sources all night to let you use them gratis during the day.

OpenRouter has lots of free model providers (you pay by letting them train on it) if you actually wanted to do something like this but legally.

There's also Horde or Koboldai.net or Koboldai.com or whatever their project is named, if you want a community-driven version of this. You can play with it via a WebGUI at https://lite.kobaldai.net, or with an API token of all zeroes. (Or, an actual API key associated with your user.)

> The AI Horde is a service that generates text using crowdsourced GPUs run by independent volunteer workers.
