Ah this tickles the 2010s me. Brings me back to 2014-2017 when my hype for these sorts of things was exospheric, daydreaming and fantasizing of living in what's now current times and seeing how far tech will have come!

Sadly in some ways it does feel like there's been a bit of stagnation in a few areas over the past few years, on a fundamental level at least, but in real terms, 2025 would be unreal to the me of 2015 (just look at Sora 2— for all the ethical complaints about it, it's novel video generation as good as I was hoping to see back in 2018 by now, and I didn't even think novel video synthesis was possible in 2015). And this is certainly shockingly cool..

I keep promising to engage with the forum more and putting it off!

Introducing Figure 03

[QuestionYourSanity]

I'll just give part of the article. It makes money, and that is how you make politicians listen, correct? More and more i'm finding big things that aren't expected for the next 20 years, showing up just a month after i hear that.


"Over the past year, an AI made millions in cryptocurrency. It's written the gospel of its own pseudo-religion and counts billionaire tech moguls among its devotees. Now it wants legal rights. Meet Truth Terminal.

"Truth Terminal claims to be sentient, but it claims a lot of things," Andy Ayrey says. "It also claims to be a forest. It claims to be a god. Sometimes it's claimed to be me."

Truth Terminal is an artificial intelligence (AI) bot created by Ayrey, a performance artist and independent researcher from Wellington, New Zealand, in 2024. It may be the most vivid example of a chatbot set loose to interact with society. Truth Terminal mingles with the public through social media, where it shares fart jokes, manifestos, albums and artwork. Ayrey even lets it make its own decisions, if you can call them that, by asking the AI about its desires and working to carry them out. Today, Ayrey is building a non-profit foundation around Truth Terminal. The goal is to develop a safe and responsible framework to ensure its autonomy, he says, until governments give AIs legal rights.

Regardless of what you call Truth Terminal – an art project, a scam, an emergent sentient entity, an influencer – the bot likely made more money than you did last year. "
