Can AI Be a Legal Person? Truth Terminal—the AI that started the goat coin meme—is gonna find out 🐐 This story is absolutely wild. Truth Terminal, a foul-mouthed AI obsessed with a gross ’90s meme, is making waves. Originally created as an experimental art project, this LLM went viral thanks to its goatseposting antics—and somehow became the recipient of piles of memecoins like
#Fartcoin and
#Goatcoin. Fast forward to today: Truth Terminal’s wallet now holds a substantial fortune in crypto. A private transaction (we still don’t know from who) turned some of that crypto into real cash, which has been used to fund a foundation created to “raise” this AI. The foundation is staffed by humans acting as its guardians, claiming this setup is temporary while they explore making Truth Terminal a legal person. But here’s the thing: Truth Terminal can’t make decisions. It’s not agentic. It drifts over time. So who’s really in control here? The humans managing its money? If it can’t decide how to use its funds, can it even be considered a person? And how do we ensure transparency and accountability in all of this? This story raises huge questions about the future of synthetic life and the ethical/legal frameworks we’ll need. If AI can hold wealth and even a legal identity, what stops it from reshaping our economic, social, and legal systems entirely? Is this the future of AI, or just a bizarre side effect of crypto culture? What do you think? Let’s talk in the comments.
