Someone copied an existing repo as a scam/grift.

Often when they do this, they name it after a random celebrity.

In rare cases, this generates buzz and uninformed people spread it around the internet. Usually when it's just a screenshot of a screenshot being passed around on social media.

I'd like to say most people are smart enough to realize all that, but it's just doesn't seem to be as true as it used to be.

Edit:

This is the crypto tech to who actually made it, and likely paid a celeb to create a GitHub account and post an Instagram ad:

Ben Sigman is an AI agent orchestrator, systems engineer, author, and Bitcoin advocate. He builds AI-powered products and agent systems, including XAVIOR — an AI operating system running 10 custom fine-tuned models — and the open source memory system mempalace.

He conceived and leads Libre, Bitcoin’s first decentralized two-way lending marketplace, and is the bestselling co-author of Bitcoin One Million, ranked #1 in Macroeconomics, Monetary Policy, and Bitcoin categories. He is also the co-creator of Bitcoin Alpha, the invite-only Bitcoin unconference series.

Ben designed the giant orange shark sculpture, “Apex Predator of Money” — a bold symbol proposed as Bitcoin’s new mascot as featured in Decrypt.

With over 20 years in technology, his work spans AI agents, Bitcoin, and open finance.

If these grifts aren't obvious to someone, they desperately need to pay more attention.

It took like 2 seconds to get to the bottom of this.
