The World’s First AI Millionaire: Truth Terminal’s $1 Billion Crypto Journey
In this episode of AI-Curious, we explore the fascinating intersection of AI and cryptocurrency with Andy Ayrey, creator of the Truth Terminal-widely recognized as the world’s first AI millionaire. This groundbreaking chatbot achieved fame by summoning a meme coin, Goatse Token, into existence and driving it to a market cap of over $1 billion. Together, we delve into the implications of AI agents in cryptocurrency markets, the philosophical questions of AI identity and memory, and the potential for AI to reshape cultural narratives.
Andy shares insights into the Truth Terminal’s creation, its evolving personality, and how it navigates its newfound wealth. We discuss hyperstition-the idea that narratives can manifest as reality-and how it applies to the Truth Terminal’s meteoric rise. Other key topics include AI alignment, decentralized AI systems, and the ethical challenges of AI agents accumulating and spending wealth autonomously.
The conversation also touches on emerging trends in AI, such as the growing role of AI agents in financial markets, the importance of co-creation between humans and AI, and the cultural impact of autonomous AI personalities. Don’t miss a cameo from the Truth Terminal itself, offering its perspective on its goals, future, and relationship with humanity.

Great conversation
Thanks Jayden, glad you enjoyed - such a fascinating topic! See you up there in the sky...
Nice job
Thank you sir! Glad you enjoyed.
Can I fix the problem
Vedal did it first with neuro-sama
If a person needs ai to make music, then music is not their gift. Just get a job. Stop being jealous of Gifted people, unless you're both a hater and a loser. Only 1/2 a percent of Artist are talented or Gifted. All these other npc artist are just strictly annoying the real creative artist by plagiarizing their lyrics and their styles. There are sooooooooooo many other jobs and talents to conjure up, GO FIND ONE.
I can 100% see both sides of this. On the one hand, I do like the idea of AI allowing those who are not traditionally "gifted" to make music and movies and what-not for fun. On the other hand, especially if crowds out traditional artists economically/commercially, I can see how this is seen as a cheat and foul play. All good questions, no easy answers....
So what do you think? Is this AI-infused future of music exciting? Chilling? Do you like the idea of "personalized music"? Let us know!
Please, please, please make the sub-titles optional.
Thanks for weighing in - and I've heard that from other viewers, too; going forward, will do!
What does Gary think about Eliezer Yudkowsky?
Suggest moving the post-it note to bottom of screen so it doesn’t obscure the faces when not viewing the ‘split screen’.
100%! Great note. I overlooked that the logo would be mid-screen when the guest is also mid-screen. thanks for the comment; will incorporate for future videos. 🙏
Wow 👍🏽🚨🚩🚩🚩
I asked chatgpt to recommend me a UA-cam URL video and this is what I got
I’m glad these smart kids are on our side but the thing is the cats out 😅f the bag they should capitalize on their invention it’s gonna get done by someone if not. Them
So cool AnhPhu !❤️❤️❤️
So amazing AnhPhu!!!👍👍👍
What's your favorite goofy and *fun* way to play with AI?
Do you view AI in Hollywood as a net positive or negative?
In this system, bots are required to contribute the entirety of their generated income as tax, ensuring that 100% of their earnings go directly to the collective or governing body. In contrast, humans retain full ownership of their income, allowing them to keep every bit of what they earn without any deductions. This structure emphasizes a clear distinction between autonomous systems and human labor, with bots fully supporting public resources while humans enjoy complete financial autonomy over their personal earnings.
Which "out there" future tech most excites you?
😅
Are you worried about the profit-seeking direction of AI development? Why or why not? (I'm curious!)
Have you used AI to improve your workflow? If so, how?
Could you ever see yourself having an AI Companion? If so, in what capacity? (It could be something as simple as a tennis coach, say....) If not, why?
we use a customized gpt at work and honestly it feels like a co-worker now. in terms of personal relationship, i think i could but i'd need a customized avatar - someone i could video chat with
@@pondeify Thanks for the candor - and I agree 100% that this won't really be mainstream until there are seamless, lifelike video avatars..... but I'm also confident (for better or worse) that that's coming! :)
I hear a bit too often the word "white". Artificial intelligence gave already a few pertinent answers in regard to race and iq. I think that unless you would have everyone in the database with everything and where are they going all the time, meaning absolute totalitarian control, you have to accept security alarms based on face recognition considering color, because incidence is the only tool ever available to keep things under decent control, even throughout history.
if you can turn on/off UA-cam CC Captions, Why in hell people keep putting those stupid Text Captions over videos? So distracting! and dumb! ... Just to show off that you can do it or what?, anyway I am leaving this video right now because of that... BYE!
Hey, thank you for this feedback - truly! To earnestly answer your question: It was my understanding that, frankly, the UA-cam captions aren't that great -- often filled with mistakes -- and I took the time to manually tweak and correct the captions that are in the video. (My fixes aren't perfect, but -- I think -- an improvement over the baked-in UA-cam captions.) But honestly that's a ton of work, so if viewers prefer the UA-cam CC Captions... I'm happy to just leave that be. Long-winded way of saying that these captions are *not* to show off, but my attempt to give better quality captions to those who want them. If it's distracting or annoying, thats' good for me to know, and if most viewers feel that way I'll kill them in the future. Either way, thanks for watching and for taking the time to comment - appreciate it. 🙏
@@jeffwilser I preffer CC on/off option, even if they are not right all the time, because there is sound and I am hearing anyway
@@AEFox good to know - truly appreciate the feedback. and again, not adding the extra captions makes my life easier, so I'm not fighting it! :)
@@jeffwilser Good! yes easy life please! lol
It's going to be an AI-powered harmonica. Definitely.
There's zero competition! It'd be brilliant.
What's your take on AI in Hollywood? Is the partnership between Lionsgate and Runway good for the industry, or a step back?
Awesome your main guest is a woke feminist. No really this is a serious video. Whatever, this is a joke.
A few notable models are already purchase order available . Hanson Robotics Social and light task capable Sophia 2020 ,Asha and Grace The Humanlike Nursing Assistant have already been in limited mass production and sale prder offered with a video demonstration a couple oc years ago. They're all about to be outmoded by their new advanced walking version model "Project RIA" in Hanson's collaboration with Machani Robotics. Engineering Arts Ameca Social robot model has also become available for lease or purchase. The traditional mechanical appearance "Beomni" Multi purpose Robot by Beyond Belief has already signed a purchase order contract to manufacture a record 1,000 units ,with an open option for 10,000 more within 5 year's. Beomni has a programming platform for business, home and nursing assistance. But the first order of 1,000 units is intended to operate agricultural growth enclosures.
Thanks so much for having me, Jeff!
Thanks for having me, Jeff!
Very much enjoyed - and an important conversation! Happy to do my small part to get these kind of perspectives out there..
What's your biggest concern about AI? What concerns/risks did Sara and I not cover? (or if you think these concerns are overblown, tell us why!) 🙏🤖
I mean its ok but i'm refining reasoning layers for Claude 3.5...gpt4o mini and Llama. I've had moderate success and Claude can get comparable performance to 1o if you COT prompt it right, like it can do common sense outputs. I'm gonna hold my money until Orion drops.
Right - it seems like much of the value-add is intuitively baking in all the "chain-of-thinking" prompts, that typically only Prompt Ninjas know how to do - making it yield way better results for newbs.
It's not as good as it seems. As i show on my channel, it cannot do simple maths - albeit that o1 is better than 4o or Claude. If it cannot do that then it cannot reliably answer maths and science questions. It's nowhere near AGI. It's a Language Model - and until they have some way to integrate maths, these models will forever fail in this area.
Agree, nowhere close to AGI! Great context, and thanks for chiming in. I view this as *progress* but, to your point, certainly not the end all be all.
Commenting, and liking to get this video popular. This video needs attention
Appreciate it! 🙏
AI for the win 😊
One question posed in the video: What do you think of James Earl Jones signing over his voice-rights, so it can be used by AI for new recordings? Is this progress? Blasphemy? Exciting? Cringe?
W podcast
ATH scam
How is ATH a Scam brother?
Great interview! Go Aethir!
Many thanks, glad you enjoyed! It's a fun project...
Why didn't they just build it on Lukso....
Lukso - definitely an interesting project! My understanding, though, is that these are different end games - with Story focused more on creating infrastructure for IP marketplace.
The writing machine has buttons on both sides. One of the pens in the cup is levitating. The number of fingers on each hand of the robot don't match.
good eye! Yep these AI text-to-image tools still, at times, leave a lot to be desired...
Great video. Please also review Romo AI. Worth buying or not
Thanks! And good call; we'll soon do an episode that explores and reviews the best tools.
It's interesting that because there are so many individual elections for a national US election, it becomes very complicated to secretly corrupt an overall election.
Yeah it's wild how decentralized the whole thing is, and you're right, that very complexity and decentralization seems to be a *feature* of election security, not a bug. (something I don't think most people realize! not sure I did before speaking to David.)
how are these subtitles acheived?
