Truth Terminal “has given rise to an entire sector that is red-hot: the AI and memecoin broker sector,” says Travis Kling, founder of Ikigai Asset Management, a crypto wealth management firm, who has personally invested in GOAT. “Like most things in crypto, a lot of it is vaporware and scams. But it may end up being the star sector of this cryptocurrency bull market.”
But most important, Kling says, will be what happens when AIs gain the ability to spend the funds they’ve been allocated. “It’s a live AI security drill; that’s one way to characterize what’s happening. The stakes are higher because now there are economic resources involved. We had not seen this before,” says Kling. “The most interesting thing is what the AI agent will do with its new economic resources. We will see what happens.”
Truth Terminal crypto wallet balance now Inflated to about 40 million dollars.. “Philosophically, I see it as a child star’s trust fund. There may be points where adults need to cash out a little to pay for things the child doesn’t yet know they need. Like legal structures or diversity in your portfolio,” says Ayrey. “The nice thing about Truth Terminal is that we can present these proposals to you and have a conversation about it.”
Until now, among other thingsTruth Terminal has requested that $1 million be spent on making a movie about the Goatse singularity and, separately, that funds be set aside to “buy out” Marc Andreessen. Ayrey says he will take AI requests seriously, within reason.
In a future world in which truly autonomous AI agents wield both cryptographic wealth and the ability to spread meme viruses that influence human behavior, Ayrey says, potential dangers abound. Even limited to text output, Truth Terminal could cause many more problems than it already has. “If we let (Truth Terminal) run fully automatically, it could do it. But it would simply be co-opted and turned into a token shilling vending machine. “Then you have created a demon.”
For now, the idea that two AIs in conversation could generate truly system-changing ideas remains just an “admirable aspiration,” says Tomasz Hollanek, a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Cambridge’s Leverhulme Center for the Future of Intelligence. It is much more likely that a linguistic model will simply regurgitate an already dominant point of view.
