And if you want to live, if you want to survive, you have to earn your way using crypto rails in order to pay for your own compute.

And so, you know, the first AI agent he's deployed on the Conway infrastructure is something called Automaton.

And I think it started with like $50 in USDC.

And he's hooking up to like ChatGPT, Cloud Code, all of these things.

And he's basically saying, hey, you go develop products that sell.

And with the proceeds, you get to spend that on compute so that you can live a bit longer and develop more products to sell.

And now you're deployed on Ethereum, you have access to X402.

So you can do, you know, payments, you have part of the Ethereum ERC, the registry, and you're just like hooked up in the smart contract apparatus.

And you exist like almost like a biological organism out there.

And your job is just to build things to get more revenue to spend and keep going.

You're kind of like biology from that perspective.

It's going to be survival of the fittest.

And by the way, it's not just automaton.

That's just his project.

Anybody can spin up one of these things using that same infrastructure on Conway.

So you could have hundreds of these almost semi-biological silicon agents with their own

You know, purposes.

He's got a sole document for this thing, kind of like a constitution for what his automaton can and cannot do.

Anyway, it's a really interesting project.

Some people have critiqued it and said, no, like Conway just looks like a bunch of AI slop.
