Once you give it access to tools that allows it to take actions, like, for example, having its own crypto wallet, having its own ability, for example, to trade tokens, to even potentially interact with other smart contracts and create its own tokens, I think that, opens up and unlocks a lot of potentially interesting things that it can do. Right? It can actually start to impact the world beyond just its words, and it actually can have, like, financial impact in terms of, like, buying and selling tokens.

Hey, Laura. So glad to be here.
Yeah. I cannot wait to discuss all these things with you. We wanna talk about Goat, which is the latest meme coin that has really skyrocketed at the time of recording. The market cap is at about $765,000,000. What is Goat, and how did it get created?
Yeah. So it's been a pretty wild story, and I you know, I think everyone's still trying to synthesize and process all this. But, I can probably give, like, a very quick, like, timeline and rundown of, like, what actually led to all of his interest today. So this actually very started, in the earlier part of this year, where an AI researcher see, he's not really he's, like, a bit of, like, he's not, like, a typical researcher that's in the big, like, AI labs. So, basically, he's, like, the kind of researcher that really is trying to hack stuff and trying to figure out how do we push the boundar
Yeah. And just to, explain, like so are you saying that the 2 AI agents started worshiping, like, this Goatse religion? Or, like, how was he defining religion? So
it was basically, they were basically just talking to each other. They were just having conversations, like, with one another. And then I think at some point in time, this term, sort of came about, and, it's a little bit of a not safe for work kind of, like, need this, this goat sea term. And so, I mean, I don't recommend people, like, search for that if you are, like, at work or so, but it's it's a bit of a tank kind of, like, meme. And, basically, one day, I think one of the AI models just in their conversation, he just mentioned prepare your anus, for the good sea ofnosis, something like th
Just for people who don't know, you know, as as, Ting just mentioned, this is not a safe for work meme. And I'll just describe it for people. Excuse the vulgar language. I guess it's I have literally never looked it up because I'm, like, I don't even wanna see if the description is enough for me. But I guess it's a picture of a man bent over who's spreading his butt cheeks to show his anus. So that's yeah. Sorry. Just wanted to explain for people who haven't been on crypto Twitter. Yeah.
I see. It's it's it's it it was something new for me as well. I didn't know there was actually such a term until I actually saw it. But basically, it just kind of shows a little bit about, like, how, some of these are AI models that each actually, there is a lot of stuff that goes on underneath the surface that we may not actually see until it gets teased
