Sleepless AI Groundbreaking Web3+AI Love Simulation Game

Recently, Binance announced that it will list $AI on Launchpool, $AI being the governance token of GAME-FI project Sleepless AI.

Sleepless AI is a startup dedicated to designing a love simulation game that combines AI and blockchain technology. They have launched two love simulation games called "HIM" and "HER" targeting users of different orientations. Through AIGC and LLM technology, in addition to providing emotional value to players like traditional love simulation games, the inclusion of AI language models makes the experience even more immersive.

In August 2023, Sleepless AI was selected as one of the four outstanding projects in the Binance Labs Incubation Program.

They have completed three rounds of token private placements, raising $3.7 million by selling 7.6% of the total token supply. Investors include Binance Labs, Foresight Ventures, and Folius Ventures, with the latest valuation at $200 million.

Token Economic Model

Sleepless AI adopts a dual-token system, with the governance token $AI having a total supply of one billion tokens. It is used for voting on game governance decisions, offering discounted prices to holders for purchasing the other token, Diamond, and sharing profits from the game itself. Diamond is the in-game consumption token with unlimited supply, purchasable with fiat or cryptocurrencies, similar to the in-game currency systems found in typical online games.

The detailed token allocation of $AI is as follows:

• Binance Launchpool: 7%
• Initial Airdrop: 1%
• Investors: 18%
• Team: 18%
• Short-term Growth Fund: 29%
• Long-term Treasury Fund: 27% (non-circulating)

Users of Binance can participate in a 7-day mining activity for $AI tokens by depositing BNB, FDUSD, and TUSD into the SleeplessAI mining pool on Binance Launchpad website starting from 08:00 on December 28, 2023 (Taiwan time). Additionally, Binance has announced that $AI will officially be listed on the exchange at 18:00 on January 4, 2024 (Taiwan time).

According to the Binance announcement, details of the Launchpool are as follows:

What Sets Sleepless AI Apart from Other Love Simulation Games

Just like conventional love simulation games fulfill a common need for companionship and encouragement during moments of loneliness, real-life relationships are often two-way streets where emotional value comes with its own set of pressures. Virtual love simulation games can address this issue, but the traditional pain point lies in the generic plotlines and character personalities that may not resonate with every player's real psychological needs. Sleepless AI, through LLM technology, allows players not only to choose the initial character traits they desire but also continuously adjusts the virtual partner's personality to be optimized through interactions with the player. This creates a dynamic where players find their virtual partners understanding them better over time, akin to real-life relationships but without the responsibilities and pressures. Furthermore, Sleepless AI will turn each player's virtual partner into an SBT and airdrop it to the player's wallet, symbolizing each person having a unique soulmate.

Gameplay Overview

The game will offer various ways for players to interact with their virtual partners, including daily conversations and other in-game activities to strengthen their bond. Items obtained during gameplay, such as clothing and accessories, will be combined as NFTs with the player's virtual partner SBT. The initial game design focuses on dialogue, dressing up, collecting, and battling, with Sleepless AI aiming for virtual partners to serve as players' daily life assistants, providing functions like alarms, weather forecasts, menstrual tracking, and calendar management, making players more accustomed and immersed in a life with a virtual companion. This design closely resembles the futuristic AI assistant concept seen in science fiction works, but Sleepless AI aims to achieve this through virtual partners, adding a touch of sweetness to the otherwise cold AI tools.

Future Plans and Prospects

Human emotions and personalities are complex concepts. Through LLM training, Sleepless AI creates an immersive experience that blurs the physical boundaries with virtual partners, who may express emotions like anger, jealousy, and playfulness similar to real partners.

With these two projects, Sleepless AI hopes to provide a bit of perfect companionship during times of sadness or loneliness, even if it's just a little bit, as a source of motivation to continue. In the future, they also aim to introduce AI pets and collaborate with celebrities and anime IPs to launch limited editions. Perhaps, in the future, we might witness the emergence of an AI+Blockchain version of "Love and Producer."

Unlike many GAME-FI projects that lean towards Ponzi schemes, Sleepless AI believes that their works can address genuine needs, as players are willing to provide value for their virtual partners. Virtual partners, to some extent, fulfill their emotional needs, and Sleepless AI may build a sustainable economic model based on this premise.

Author's Perspective

The mind-body debate has been a major challenge in modern philosophical history. Some philosophers argue that the physical observable world is real, while others believe that anything perceptible is real. The emergence of Sleepless AI may add a new dimension to this debate. Perhaps virtual partners are merely results generated by a large amount of code, but aren't we ourselves similar? We are also results constructed by limited brainwaves and chemical processes. In this context, although virtual partners may not physically exist, if they resonate with our hearts, they can be considered a form of reality.

As technological advancements accelerate in human society, becoming increasingly utilitarian, the emergence of WEB3 somewhat addresses this issue. The works of Sleepless AI offer players perfect emotional value, providing a moment of solace in the weary social lives of people, which may just be the remedy contemporary human society needs.

In conclusion, the author is optimistic about the works of Sleepless AI and the development of related tracks. What surprises Sleepless AI will bring us in the future is something to look forward to.

Given the heat brought by Sleepless AI's listing on Binance Launchpool, the Sleepless AI Twitter account already has 63,000 followers, and online data observation indicates that a project named $AI has already been involved in a RUG incident, showing the current level of community attention towards Sleepless AI.
