$GOAT：第一个机器人百万富翁的崛起及其告诉我们关于人类与人工智能合作伙伴关系的信息

人工智能最令人着迷的地方在于它告诉我们关于我们自己的事情。正如我从参加南非奇点大会中了解到的那样，对于所有的预测

New technology in the IOT business industry is AI humanoid humanoid robot. The most fascinating thing about AI is what it tells us about ourselves. As I learned from attending Singularity South Africa, for all the predictions about technology achieving some kind of “sentient singularity”, AI remains a tool for us, its creators. And although artificial applications are poised to transform almost every aspect of our daily lives, one of its biggest benefits lies in that it holds up a mirror to humanity.

物联网商业行业的新技术是AI仿人机器人。人工智能最令人着迷的地方在于它告诉我们关于我们自己的事情。正如我在参加南非奇点大会时了解到的那样，尽管所有关于技术实现某种“感知奇点”的预测，人工智能仍然是我们（人工智能的创造者）的工具。尽管人工应用有望改变我们日常生活的几乎各个方面，但其最大的好处之一在于它为人类提供了一面镜子。

The problem with looking in the mirror is that we may not always like what we see. You might remember my column from a couple of weeks ago where I wrote about the inherent sexism of AI, which sometimes sees fit to “undress” women it deems to be wearing insufficiently revealing clothes. This decision wasn’t made by an artificial consciousness: that one is on humanity. Whatever we put on the Internet is what AI thinks is real and important. And in the three or four decades of the World Wide Web, we’ve filled the online realm with some very objectionable content.

照镜子的问题在于我们可能并不总是喜欢我们所看到的。你可能还记得几周前我的专栏，我写了人工智能固有的性别歧视，有时它认为适合“脱掉”它认为穿着不够暴露的女性的衣服。这一决定不是由人工意识做出的：这是关于人类的。我们在互联网上发布的内容都是人工智能认为真实且重要的内容。在万维网发展的三、四十年里，我们的在线领域充斥着一些非常令人反感的内容。

AI for the lulz

人工智能的乐趣

Which brings me onto Goatseus Maximus, allegedly the first memecoin created “by” artificial intelligence. (I’ll explain the “by” in a moment.) Readers of a certain vintage will immediately spot the inspiration behind Goatseus, which refers to a particularly graphic example of the “shock sites” that proliferated in the early years of the century.

这让我想到了 Goatseus Maximus，据称是人工智能“创建”的第一个模因币。 （我稍后会解释“by”。）某个年份的读者会立即发现 Goatseus 背后的灵感，Goatseus 指的是本世纪初激增的“震惊地点”的一个特别生动的例子。

It’s unlikely that Goatseus was created entirely without human intervention. What seems to have happened is someone built a large language model bot and unleashed it onto X/Twitter under the username “terminal of truth”. Whatever the goal, this AI agent seems programmed to hack engagement by identifying controversial material that, often against our better judgement, we end up clicking. Essentially, it is — and my apologies in advance, but it’s difficult to discuss Internet culture without swearing — a shitposting bot.

Goatseus 不可能完全在没有人类干预的情况下被创造出来。似乎发生的事情是有人构建了一个大型语言模型机器人，并以用户名“terminal of Truth”将其发布到 X/Twitter 上。无论目标是什么，这个人工智能代理似乎都被编程为通过识别有争议的材料来黑客参与，而这些材料往往与我们更好的判断相反，我们最终会点击这些材料。从本质上讲，它是——我提前道歉，但很难在不咒骂的情况下讨论互联网文化——一个垃圾发布机器人。

Terminal of Truth - A large language model bot on X formerly Twitter. The Twitter Handle has 199K ... [+] followers since June of 2024.

Terminal of Truth - X 上以前的 Twitter 上的大型语言模型机器人。自 2024 年 6 月以来，Twitter Handle 拥有 199,000 ... [+] 关注者。

The Top 10 Richest People In The World (November 2024)

世界十大最富有的人（2024 年 11 月）

Normally, a joke like this gets a surge of initial attention before fading into obscurity. Not this time. Following Truth Terminal’s obsessive tweeting about the age-old Goatse meme, someone inevitably launched a $GOAT memecoin. That’s when things got weird, fast. After the account tweeted a fundraising request to “upgrade its capabilities”, legendary Silicon Valley mogul and AI evangelist Marc Andressen stepped in and sent Truth Terminal $50,000 in Bitcoin to fund the new coin’s development.

通常情况下，这样的笑话首先会引起大量关注，然后逐渐变得默默无闻。这次不是。在 Truth Terminal 在推特上热衷于谈论古老的山羊模因之后，不可避免地有人推出了 $GOAT 模因币。就在那时，事情变得很奇怪，很快。在该账户在推特上发出“升级其能力”的筹款请求后，传奇硅谷大亨和人工智能传播者 Marc Andressen 介入，并向 Truth Terminal 发送了 50,000 美元的比特币，以资助新硬币的开发。

For reference, a memecoin is a cryptocurrency created around an internet joke, meme, or trend that gains value primarily through community hype and social media momentum rather than underlying utility or technology.

作为参考，模因币是一种围绕互联网笑话、模因或趋势创建的加密货币，主要通过社区炒作和社交媒体势头而不是潜在的实用程序或技术来获得价值。

$GOAT had arrived, and predictably the Internet found it hilarious. New “investors” raced to buy Goatseus Maximus, driving its price halfway to the moon in just a few weeks. At the time of writing, its valuation is within touching distance of $.5 billion. Almost incidentally, this would make Truth Terminal the world’s first bot millionaire.

$GOAT 已经到来，不出所料，互联网上的人都觉得它很搞笑。新的“投资者”竞相购买 Goatseus Maximus，短短几周内就将其价格推高了一半。截至撰写本文时，其估值已接近 5 亿美元。几乎偶然的是，这将使真相终端成为世界上第一个机器人百万富翁。

Truth Terminal might have been built with the sole purpose of generating “teh lulz”, but it’s quickly escalated far beyond a joke. Thanks to its efforts — first in ideating $GOAT and then promoting it — $GOAT now sits comfortably within the top 100 cryptocurrencies by market capitalization.

真相终端的唯一目的可能是产生“teh lulz”，但它很快就升级到远远超出了一个笑话。由于其努力——首先是构思 $GOAT，然后进行推广——$GOAT 现在稳居市值前 100 名加密货币之列。

Strange Brew: Understanding the Human-AI partnership

奇怪的酿造：理解人类与人工智能的伙伴关系

If your head is spinning, I don’t blame you: there’s an awful lot to unpack here. Perhaps your first question is the same as mine: does AI already have the capability to create new digital currencies out of thin air, and all by itself?

如果你头晕目眩，我不会责怪你：这里有很多东西需要解开。也许你的第一个问题和我的一样：人工智能是否已经有能力凭空创造新的数字货币？

The answer to that one is: probably not. There seems to have been a high degree of human intervention in the genesis of $GOAT. Yet AI’s influence cannot easily be dismissed. If there had been no Truth Terminal, there would be no Goatseus Maximus, period.

这个问题的答案是：可能不会。 $GOAT 的诞生似乎受到了高度的人为干预。然而人工智能的影响力不能轻易被忽视。如果没有真相终端，就不会有山羊修斯·马克西姆斯，就这样。

Yet that, for me, isn’t the most important part of the story. The soaraway success of this new memecoin is the direct result of AI’s incredible understanding of human nature. Even if Truth Terminal’s original purpose was engagement farming, the reason for its spectacular success was because it mined the Internet to understand what gets a reaction. By choosing this historic, half-forgotten meme, the bot reveals some uncomfortable truths: that people are driven more by shock value and controversy than refined culture and philosophical ideas. It's hard to picture a $GOAT memecoin if Truth Terminal had been tweeting about Bach, Beethoven, or Baudelaire.

然而，对我来说，这并不是故事中最重要的部分。这种新模因币的巨大成功是人工智能对人性令人难以置信的理解的直接结果。即使真相终端的最初目的是参与农业，其巨大成功的原因是因为它通过挖掘互联网来了解什么会引起反应。通过选择这个历史性的、几乎被遗忘的模因，该机器人揭示了一些令人不安的事实：人们更多地受到震撼价值和争议的驱动，而不是高雅文化和哲学思想。如果 Truth Terminal 一直在推特上发布有关巴赫、贝多芬或波德莱尔的推文，那么很难想象 $GOAT memecoin 会出现什么情况。

I’ll reserve judgement on whether Goat
