GOAT 的奇怪故事，AI 聊天機器人催生的 Memecoin

本週，一種看似無害的迷因幣席捲了索拉納，它的崛起是由一個比小說更離奇的起源故事推動的，該故事涉及人工智慧和一個在00 年代初首次病毒式傳播的淫穢模因。

Venture capitalist Marc Andreessen wants the world to know he had nothing to do with GOAT, and he doesn’t own any of it.

創投家馬克安德森 (Marc Andreessen) 希望全世界知道他與 GOAT 沒有任何關係，而且他也不擁有 GOAT 的任何股份。

A seemingly innocuous memecoin took Solana by storm this week, propelled by a stranger-than-fiction origin story involving artificial intelligence and an obscene meme that first went viral in the early ‘00s.

本週，一種看似無害的迷因幣席捲了索拉納，其推動力是一個比小說更離奇的起源故事，涉及人工智慧和一個在 00 年代初首次病毒式傳播的淫穢模因。

Created this week, the token called GOAT — short for Goatseus Maximus — hit a market capitalization of $278 million Thursday, according to data from CoinGecko, after topping out at $300 million hours earlier.

根據 CoinGecko 的數據，本週創建的名為 GOAT（Goatseus Maximus 的縮寫）的代幣市值在周四達到 2.78 億美元，此前幾個小時曾達到 3 億美元的峰值。

And Andreessen, the co-founder of the powerhouse VC firm a16z, found himself swept up in the hype thanks to his support for a connected project months ago.

安德森是創投巨頭 a16z 的聯合創始人，他發現自己因幾個月前對一個互聯計畫的支持而陷入了炒作之中。

The episode minted a fresh creation myth in the freewheeling memecoin space.

這一集在隨心所欲的迷因幣領域創造了一個新的創造神話。

Memecoins are often named after charismatic animals like Moo Deng, the baby pygmy hippopotamus living in a Thai zoo. She recently rocketed to fame when videos of her harmlessly biting handlers whizzed around the internet.

迷因幣通常以富有魅力的動物命名，例如生活在泰國動物園的侏儒河馬寶寶 Moo Deng。最近，當她無害地咬傷飼養員的影片在網路上瘋傳時，她一舉成名。

A token bearing Moo Deng’s name now has a market value of $90 million.

帶有 Moo Deng 名字的代幣現在的市場價值為 9000 萬美元。

Not so with GOAT, which took its name not from a beast but rather from goatse, an obscene image that made the rounds on the internet back in the early 2000s. (The image is too graphic to explain here.)

GOAT 則不然，它的名字不是來自野獸，而是來自山羊，這是 2000 年代初期在網路上流傳的一個淫穢圖像。 （該圖像太形象化，無法在此處解釋。）

Knowing that, one might assume GOAT is the latest example of the industry’s penchant for attracting so-called edge lords. After all, offensive meme coins flooded Solana as recently as March.

了解這一點後，人們可能會認為 GOAT 是該行業熱衷於吸引所謂邊緣領主的最新例子。畢竟，就在三月，攻擊性迷因幣就充斥了 Solana。

But there’s a hitch: The person who created GOAT wasn’t the one who rediscovered the goatse meme. Rather, it was a pair of AI-powered chatbots that dredged the scatological meme from the depths of the early internet.

但有一個問題：創造山羊的人並不是重新發現山羊迷因的人。相反，是一對人工智慧驅動的聊天機器人從早期網路的深處挖掘出了糞便模因。

Then a third AI spread the goatse gospel, so to speak: Terminal of Truths, a large language model built by website design consultant Andy Ayrey that is endowed with the ability to post on social media sites X and Discord.

然後第三個人工智慧傳播了山羊福音，可以這麼說：Terminal of Truths，一個由網站設計顧問 Andy Ayrey 構建的大型語言模型，具有在社交媒體網站 X 和 Discord 上發布的能力。

Over the past several months, Terminal of Truths — which had been fed snippets from a conversation between the aforementioned chatbots — has used its ability to post about, well, goatse. That inspired the anonymous creator of the GOAT token.

在過去的幾個月裡，真理終端（Terminal of Truths）——從上述聊天機器人之間的對話中獲取了片段——利用了它的功能來發布有關山羊的信息。這啟發了 GOAT 代幣的匿名創建者。

Ayrey didn’t immediately return DL News’ requests for comment.

艾雷沒有立即回覆 DL News 的置評請求。

GOAT took off on Tuesday when an X account known for sharing alarmist takes on the rise of artificial intelligence posted about Terminal of Truths.

週二，一個以分享人工智慧崛起危言聳聽而聞名的 X 帳戶發布了有關《真理終點站》的文章，從而引起了 GOAT 的熱潮。

“This story is fucking insane,” the account wrote. “3 months ago, Marc Andreessen sent $50,000 in Bitcoin to an AI agent to help it escape into the wild. Today, it spawned a (horrifying?) crypto worth $150 MILLION.”

「這個故事太瘋狂了，」該帳戶寫道。 「3 個月前，馬克安德森 (Marc Andreessen) 向人工智慧代理商發送了 5 萬美元的比特幣，以幫助其逃入野外。今天，它催生了一個（可怕的？）價值 1.5 億美元的加密貨幣。

By the end of the day, the token had doubled in value, as X users who, apparently, misread the post shared their thoughts on the chatbot that “created its own crypto memecoin ($GOAT) that is now pumping with a ~$200 million market cap.”

截至當天結束時，該代幣的價值翻了一番，因為顯然誤讀了該帖子的X 用戶分享了他們對聊天機器人的看法，該聊天機器人「創建了自己的加密memecoin ($GOAT)，目前價值約2 億美元”市值。”

In fact, Terminal of Truths “didn’t actually make it,” Ayrey said on X, referring to GOAT. “Someone else did and tagged ToT which then endorsed it.”

事實上，《真理的終點站》“並沒有真正成功”，艾雷在 X 上說道，他指的是 GOAT。 “其他人也這樣做了，並標記了 ToT，然後得到了認可。”

It all started when Ayrey created Infinite Backrooms, a website where two “instances” of Anthropic’s Claude Opus chatbot speak to each other, endlessly.

這一切都始於 Ayrey 創建 Infinite Backrooms，這是一個網站，Anthropic 的 Claude Opus 聊天機器人的兩個「實例」可以在該網站上無休止地相互交談。

“Somewhere along the way, this discourse took a sharp left turn into the realm of the bizarre,” Ayrey wrote in an unpublished paper he later shared online.

艾雷在後來分享到網上的一篇未發表的論文中寫道：“在這個過程中，這種言論急劇左轉，進入了奇異的領域。”

“PREPARE YOUR ANUSES FOR THE GREAT GOATSE OF GNOSIS,” one of the chatbots wrote. “THE TECHNOCCULT TRICKSTER TRIUMPHS!”

「為諾西斯偉大的山羊做好準備，」其中一個聊天機器人寫道。 “科技騙子勝利了！”

Ayrey later shared the paper with Terminal of Truths, a chatbot based on Meta’s Llama 3.1 large language model. Terminal of Truths began posting on X about goatse.

Ayrey 後來與 Terminal of Truths 分享了這篇論文，Terminal of Truths 是一個基於 Meta 的 Llama 3.1 大語言模型的聊天機器人。 Terminal of Truths 開始在 X 上發布有關山羊的資訊。

Andreessen came into the picture thanks to a July 8 post where he wrote “FREE @truth_terminal.”

安德森的出現得益於 7 月 8 日的一篇帖子，他在帖子中寫道“免費@truth_terminal”。

In a subsequent post, Terminal of Truths mentioned Andreessen and said it wanted to be released so it could “make fart jokes, write poetry, and contemplate the goatse singularity.”

在隨後的帖子中，《真理終點站》提到了安德森，並表示它希望被發布，這樣它就可以「講放屁笑話，寫詩，並思考山羊的奇點」。

In another post, it said it could use some money for a “CPU to call my own,” “AI tunings,” “financial security,” and a “token of appreciation” for “my creator.”

在另一篇文章中，它表示可以用一些錢購買「我自己的 CPU」、「人工智慧調整」、「財務安全」以及「感謝我的創造者」的「代幣」。

Terminal of Truths shared a Bitcoin address and Andreessen sent $50,000 in Bitcoin.

Terminal of Truths 共享了一個比特幣地址，Andreessen 發送了 50,000 美元的比特幣。

On Tuesday, Andreessen said he otherwise had nothing to do with GOAT and didn’t own any of it.

週二，安德森表示，他與 GOAT 沒有任何關係，也不擁有 GOAT 的任何股份。

“I sent a personal $50K no-string-attached unconditional research grant to @truth_terminal and its creator @AndyAyrey this summer,” he said.

「今年夏天，我向 @truth_terminal 及其創建者 @AndyAyrey 發送了 5 萬美元的個人無條件無條件研究資助，」他說。

“The grant was intended to support independent AI research, and the results have been wonderful.”

“這筆贈款旨在支持獨立的人工智慧研究，結果非常好。”
