Note: the "agent" the title refers to has nothing to do with an AI/LLM agent. Originally I thought this had something to do with an AI agent, as if someone put an AI agent in charge of identifying dark web pictures for clues. It's a good story nevertheless and I'm glad the victim was rescued, but nothing to do with AI/LLMs.

The term "agent" with regards to law enforcement substantially predates "agent" in the context of AI.

The GP's account was created in 2019, so being born yesterday is not an excuse available to them.

To be fair, I initially had the same thought, and the HN item just two below this as I write also has agent (but the LLM kind) in its title.

True, but with every other article on HN being about AI nowadays I assumed there was something to it.
