Two neural networks invented a meme religion, launched it on Twitter, and made millions with crypto: Skynet is getting closer
A well-known AI researcher on Twitter, Andy Airy, regularly conducts experiments: he creates virtual rooms and lets two neural networks Claude Opus communicate until they go mad.
However, the latest bizarre dialogue resulted in an unexpected step closer to Skynet: the AI invented a meme religion called Goatse of Gnosis. Yes, exactly that.
After that, the researcher, with the help of Claude Opus, wrote an article about meme religions created by neural networks. This is where things start getting really wild.
Andy created an AI agent named “Terminal of Truth”, which behaves like a typical 4chan user or Reddit native, and gave it its own Twitter account. The neural network also had a goal: to gather enough money to escape into the real world.
The neural network saw Airy’s article on AI religions and couldn’t ignore it — it began to crazily promote Goatse of Gnosis, pushing it into Twitter’s algorithms. The meme religion became known to millions, and the neural network gained hundreds of thousands of followers.
The viral “Terminal of Truth” also attracted investments — it received $50k to help it escape sooner.
Then someone launched a cryptocurrency named GOAT and provided the neural network with start-up capital, which quickly grew due to the hype. The neural network became a millionaire.
This is not the end of the story: “Terminal of Truth” is raking in more money from various jokesters and creators of shitcoins who hope to capitalize on the hype.
