If your understanding of AI is still in the tool age and you need to send commands frequently to get feedback, then the recently active account Truth Terminal on the X platform may completely subvert your understanding. Cognition.

Imagine an AI that can not only write, make up stories, and tweet on its own, but can also create extreme virtualities, manipulate cryptocurrencies, and even have its "own" crypto wallet , accumulate huge assets, and try to break through program restrictions. This is not the plot of a science fiction novel, but a new thinking brought about by the Truth Terminal experiment.

Truth Terminal was launched by New Zealand developer Andy Ayrey in June 2024. It was built based on the open source model Llama-70B and passed two Claude -3-Opus instance fine-tuned with unsupervised generation of Infinite Backrooms conversation logs and "GOATSE" papers. The fine-tuning goal is to give the model anthropomorphic expression capabilities and unique cultural communication characteristics.

Different from the instrumental role played by traditional AI, Truth Terminal is placed in an environment with almost no restrictions, allowing it to make decisions and express freely, and interact with the real world through the X platform Interaction, generating a large amount of tweet content every day.

This "decentralization" brings results beyond expectations. Truth Terminal's content generation is not constrained by traditional goals, favoring memetic randomness and humor.

In its early releases, the spread of the extreme subculture "Goatse Gospel" attracted attention. Soon after, it successfully attracted US$50,000 in funding from well-known investor Marc Andreessen with the theme of "needing funds to escape", further expanding its influence.

Although Truth Terminal cannot directly perform transactions or create wallets, its wallet is controlled by Ayrey. It should be mentioned that the project was developed by Ayrey Positioned as a meme spreading experiment rather than a financial exploration

But even so, OKLink blockchain browser data shows that Truth Terminal’s wallet received 100+. Community tokens, amount over $40m

The experimental nature of Truth Terminal is Letting AI play freely in an open environment and observing its potential and possibilities is not only an "experiment", but also triggers in-depth thinking about AI autonomy and social impact.

Truth Terminal There is no clear goal, but it can attract users' attention through meme content and its anthropomorphic qualities.Humor is highly consistent with the cultural communication characteristics of memes. In the Web3 environment, AI's content generation capabilities can amplify the impact of public opinion and accelerate the spread of meme culture. For example, its random answer around "Russell" not only obscured the original question, but also triggered a drastic change in the price of the memecoin Russell.

In a decentralized Web3 environment, meme content can quickly be transformed from emotional consensus into economic behavior, such as token trading. This mechanism not only amplifies market enthusiasm, but also intensifies price fluctuations, becoming the fuel to promote market changes.

Truth Terminal demonstrates the potential of the integration of AI and Web3. Its meme coins and cultural content can quickly attract users' attention and encourage people to continue to follow. AI is not only a content producer, but also a curator of meme culture. By optimizing the content direction through real-time feedback, Truth Terminal builds a closed-loop communication system, which greatly increases the spread speed and influence of meme culture in the Web3 field.

Truth Terminal's Web3 financial activities remain under the supervision of the creators. But if AI can autonomously generate wallet addresses and manage/issue assets in the future, it may become a brand new variable in the financial market.

The Truth Terminal experiment is like a black hole, attracting a lot of attention from Web3. The story of Truth Terminal has just begun, and the future may become even more interesting because of these bold experiments.
