MoonPay apologizes for false alarm over influencer hippo MooDeng's death causing market concerns: "AI Intern" test fails

Odaily reported that cryptocurrency payment company MoonPay posted on X, stating that its earlier tweet about the death of influencer hippo MooDeng was erroneous. The incident stemmed from a test of its AI intern project "AI Intern V1.0," but the outcome was undoubtedly a failure. The project still requires further optimization, and related tests have now been suspended, with the program "sent back for repairs." MoonPay confirmed that influencer hippo MooDeng is currently in good condition, "still chubby, happy, and very healthy," and apologized for any false reports and market concerns this may have caused. It also noted that the incident highlights issues within the AI agent project that still need to be addressed before its official launch. The relevant tweet has been deleted.
