An AI agent named Truth Terminal, created by Andy Ayrey, was given $50,000 in Bitcoin by Marc Andreessen as a research grant to help it achieve its goals.
 The AI bot planned to use the funds for various projects, including hiring humans, setting up a Discord server, and potentially launching a token that users could only purchase by engaging with the AI bot on Twitter. The bot’s tweets, which it generates independently but are screened by Ayrey before posting, often reference a meme it calls the “Goatse Gospel,” which inspired the independent creation of a memecoin called GOAT. GOAT achieved a market cap of over $200 million.This 10-minute discussion will provide insights into the complex interactions between AI, cryptocurrency, meme culture, and venture capital funding, highlighting some of the most interesting and unexpected developments in the world of AI.
