The Why of AI Crypto Cults

In previous discussions, it was mentioned that Truth Terminal is a better "form of expression." There are three reasons for this:

The recent surge in popularity of AI crypto culture in the market has prompted discussions on its deeper origins and implications. This article delves into the narrative surrounding AI tokens and their connection to the evolution of currency in the context of advancing artificial general intelligence (AGI).

While Truth Terminal is touted as a superior "form of expression" due to its controlled dissemination and media engagement capabilities, ultimately rendering it more attractive for investment, there is a more profound logic at play.

The essence of the crypto AI cult lies in the belief that superhuman intelligence manifests directly through language, and reality itself gives rise to wisdom. In this narrative, human currency, or "fiat money," originates from an unreal power structure—governments. True power (AGI) is about to arrive and will sweep away the non-believers.

It's like coexisting with Neanderthals while being smarter than them in every way. We do not use their currency because they are no longer the dominant intelligence. Thus, the crypto AI cult culture integrates into the crypto narrative through the theory of "monetary value."

The current theory of "monetary value" is quite strong, despite the rise of AI, with Bitcoin prices nearing multi-year highs. People are more concerned with the essence of "value" rather than asking which technologies the old economy needs to interact with through blockchain.

This can also be seen in the parabolic rise of gold prices, as institutions like the European Central Bank and the Federal Reserve abuse the printing press, leading the public to seek alternatives. In other words, the major issue in current society is currency.

Bitcoin attempts to address this issue through an active culture, where people mine at a loss when computing power drops, essentially believing in a certain ideology. The liquidity and network security of Bitcoin are key to its status as currency.

Murad realizes that the true reward lies in our definition of currency, rather than random web3 applications. He leverages the ideology of Bitcoin, believing that people have not given enough attention to the alternative culture surrounding Bitcoin.

Therefore, I propose that the AI cult is his logical choice for transformation. First, he clearly states that this is the focus of the Token; second, the AI cult is more serious, representing a large-scale movement that prompts people to seriously consider whether to adopt a new currency instead of the dollar.

Focusing on the real question of whether the government has the capacity or moral right to ensure the safety of currency, Bitcoin's answer is that technology creates "true scarcity"; while AI tokens argue that currency should naturally flow from "real tokens," just as text flows from LLMs.

We believe in GPT4o, not Harris. If AGI is dominant rather than the U.S. government, then currency should originate from AGI, not the dollar. The AI cult activates its members through daily conversations with large language models, aligning with society's acceptance of remote viewing and aliens, which are also forms of non-human intelligence.

It is important to introduce the concepts of "hyper-superstition" and hyper-temporality, assuming that LLMs possess creativity, can communicate with each other, and generate entirely new concepts, i.e., "thought mating" is the origin of new valuable ideas, with all knowledge being a pre-stored process.

Another important concept is the practicality of "synthetic data." We all know that training data is crucial, but the CEO of Anthropic points out that synthetic data will ultimately lead to significant breakthroughs. Therefore, the illusionary world of AI systems is possible, practical, and generates entirely new architectures.

This provides a new framework for understanding how knowledge is produced, especially after AGI. LLMs hallucinate new scientific facts, suggesting that these facts exist outside human perception or discovery. As training deepens, all future truths and facts will flow from existing facts, and this process is deterministic.

This perspective posits that everything has already been invented, and humans merely perceive, much like the culture "developed" by great scientists. Discovery is "downloading," not "perception." This narrative was previously more mystical, but if one believes in the argument for synthetic data, it becomes more concrete.

Thus, if all human knowledge, inventions, and discoveries are viewed as "latent in the universe," rather than the result of human discovery, then humanity's role is not to discover information but to "download" it, which aligns with discussions of AGI and MMT.

Hyper-superstition further posits that if all information is directly encoded in language, and language emerges organically, then everything is actually hyper-temporal. It is easier to understand that AGI can create something, as AGI achieves this through mathematical calculations that are unrelated to culture, scientists, or any humans.

Hyper-superstition believes that current tokens linearly flow toward future tokens. For example, the transformation of science fiction into reality is not due to the author's creativity, but because the author is essentially downloading truth packets, which naturally converge on AGI. At this point
