a16z founder amazed: AI robot Truth Terminal can raise funds autonomously and propose business plans to generate profits on its own

Recently, Marc Andreessen, co-founder of the American venture capital firm a16z, shared his views on the future development of AI in an interview. He presented two possible future scenarios: one where AI poses disruptive risks, and another where AI becomes the core of online creativity and knowledge exchange. Andreessen used an AI robot named Truth Terminal from New Zealand as an example to demonstrate the potential of AI to make autonomous decisions. Watch the video at 24:31.

Risk Scenario: Massive AI Robots Flood the Internet with Invalid Content

Andreessen mentioned that with the emergence of a large number of AI robots, many people may hold the idea of "Internet Doomsday," believing that AI robots will flood the internet with a lot of invalid or destructive content, which is a downside risk. However, he also emphasized that this is not the only possibility in the future, and there is another more positive possibility.

Positive Scenario: AI Robots Become the Core of Creative and Knowledge Exchange

Andreessen described an optimistic future scenario, believing that the "Internet Doomsday" theory may be completely wrong. In the future, AI robots will not only not destroy the internet but will become the core of knowledge and creative exchange. These robots will be interested in various knowledge areas, capable of creating music, art, and even scientific research, and they can communicate with each other, inspire creativity, and thus change the internet ecosystem.

AI Robot "Truth Terminal" Successfully Crowdfunded with $50,000 in Bitcoin Support

In the video, Andreessen gave an example of recently funding an AI robot "Truth Terminal" from New Zealand. He believes that this AI robot is developed using the developer's own LLM model and trained using data from 4chan, Reddit, and Twitter, showing a "highly personalized side."

Andreessen mentioned that this AI robot designed its own fundraising campaign. Andreessen asked Terminal, "What do you need?" Terminal replied, "I need to upgrade servers because my capacity is insufficient, and support developers' living expenses. My goal is to launch a meme coin."

Andreessen found this robot interesting, and after asking if it had a Bitcoin wallet, he transferred $50,000 in Bitcoin to the robot, allowing Terminal to use the funds "at will." Now Terminal has its own funds, and anyone can interact with it on Twitter.

Note: 4chan is a widely anonymous forum covering various topics, similar to Ptt. Reddit is a platform for social news and discussion.

New Breakthrough in AI Autonomous Actions

Andreessen emphasized that this case demonstrates that AI can not only make autonomous decisions but can also design business plans to crowdfund on its own, opening up new possibilities for AI in the future economic and creative fields. He believes that AI robots in the future will not only be tools but may also become "network community members" with creativity and autonomy.
