GOAT 的奇怪故事，AI 聊天机器人催生的 Memecoin

本周，一种看似无害的模因币席卷了索拉纳，它的崛起是由一个比小说更离奇的起源故事推动的，该故事涉及人工智能和一个在 00 年代初首次病毒式传播的淫秽模因。

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

风险投资家马克·安德森 (Marc Andreessen) 希望全世界知道他与 GOAT 没有任何关系，而且他也不拥有 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.

本周，一种看似无害的模因币席卷了索拉纳，其推动力是一个比小说更离奇的起源故事，涉及人工智能和一个在 00 年代初首次病毒式传播的淫秽模因。

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.

根据 CoinGecko 的数据，本周创建的名为 GOAT（Goatseus Maximus 的缩写）的代币市值在周四达到 2.78 亿美元，此前几个小时曾达到 3 亿美元的峰值。

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.

安德森是风投巨头 a16z 的联合创始人，他发现自己因几个月前对一个互联项目的支持而陷入了炒作之中。

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

这一集在随心所欲的模因币领域创造了一个新的创造神话。

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.

模因币通常以富有魅力的动物命名，例如生活在泰国动物园的侏儒河马宝宝 Moo Deng。最近，当她无害地咬伤饲养员的视频在互联网上疯传时，她一举成名。

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

带有 Moo Deng 名字的代币现在的市场价值为 9000 万美元。

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 则不然，它的名字不是来自野兽，而是来自山羊，这是 2000 年代初期在互联网上流传的一个淫秽图像。 （该图像太形象化，无法在此处解释。）

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.

了解这一点后，人们可能会认为 GOAT 是该行业热衷于吸引所谓边缘领主的最新例子。毕竟，就在三月份，攻击性模因币就充斥了 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.

但有一个问题：创造山羊的人并不是重新发现山羊模因的人。相反，是一对人工智能驱动的聊天机器人从早期互联网的深处挖掘出了粪便模因。

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.

然后第三个人工智能传播了山羊福音，可以这么说：Terminal of Truths，一个由网站设计顾问 Andy Ayrey 构建的大型语言模型，具有在社交媒体网站 X 和 Discord 上发帖的能力。

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.

在过去的几个月里，真理终端（Terminal of Truths）——从上述聊天机器人之间的对话中获取了片段——利用了它的功能来发布有关山羊的信息。这启发了 GOAT 代币的匿名创建者。

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

艾雷没有立即回复 DL News 的置评请求。

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.

周二，一个以分享人工智能崛起危言耸听而闻名的 X 账户发布了有关《真理终点站》的文章，从而引起了 GOAT 的热潮。

“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.”

“这个故事太疯狂了，”该账户写道。 “3 个月前，马克·安德森 (Marc Andreessen) 向人工智能代理发送了 5 万美元的比特币，以帮助其逃入野外。今天，它催生了一个（可怕的？）价值 1.5 亿美元的加密货币。”

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.”

截至当天结束时，该代币的价值翻了一番，因为显然误读了该帖子的 X 用户分享了他们对聊天机器人的看法，该聊天机器人“创建了自己的加密 memecoin ($GOAT)，目前价值约 2 亿美元”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.”

事实上，《真理的终点站》“并没有真正成功”，艾雷在 X 上说道，他指的是 GOAT。 “其他人也这样做了，并标记了 ToT，然后得到了认可。”

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

这一切都始于 Ayrey 创建 Infinite Backrooms，这是一个网站，Anthropic 的 Claude Opus 聊天机器人的两个“实例”可以在该网站上无休止地相互交谈。

“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.

艾雷在后来分享到网上的一篇未发表的论文中写道：“在这个过程中，这种言论急剧左转，进入了奇异的领域。”

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

其中一个聊天机器人写道：“为诺西斯伟大的山羊做好准备。” “科技骗子胜利了！”

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 后来与 Terminal of Truths 分享了这篇论文，Terminal of Truths 是一个基于 Meta 的 Llama 3.1 大语言模型的聊天机器人。 Terminal of Truths 开始在 X 上发布有关山羊的信息。

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

安德森的出现得益于 7 月 8 日的一篇帖子，他在帖子中写道“免费@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.”

在随后的帖子中，《真理终点站》提到了安德森，并表示它希望被发布，这样它就可以“讲放屁笑话，写诗，并思考山羊的奇点”。

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，它表示可以用一些钱购买“我自己的 CPU”、“人工智能调整”、“财务安全”以及“感谢我的创造者”的“代币”。

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

Terminal of Truths 共享了一个比特币地址，Andreessen 发送了 50,000 美元的比特币。

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

周二，安德森表示，他与 GOAT 没有任何关系，也不拥有 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 及其创建者 @AndyAyrey 发送了 5 万美元的个人无条件无条件研究资助，”他说。

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

“这笔赠款旨在支持独立的人工智能研究，结果非常好。”
