An AI agent token called Goatseus Maximus ($GOAT) has gained a market capitalization of $700 million in just two weeks. Its success is due to it being created by a large language model (LLM). This event highlights the potential for AI tools to launch their own tokens, possibly becoming the next top token.
The AI agent, “Truth Terminal,” was created by Andy Ayrey, who allowed two Claude Opus AI LLMs to communicate without human interference. The conversation led to the creation of Goatse of Gnosis, an AI meme-inspired religion. Truth Terminal was added to a research Discord channel, where it spread Goatse memes and even caught the attention of Marc Andreessen.
The AI then created a meme coin on Pump.fun, a Solana-based token launchpad. The popularity of $GOAT has led to fraudulent activities.
