Vitalik Lambasts Conway Research for Producing Nonsense, Associated Token CONWAY Drops After Surpassing $12 Million Market Cap

BlockBeats News, February 20th. The AI Lab Conway Research initiated by Sigil is dedicated to enabling AI Agents to autonomously earn money to sustain their own existence, self-improve, self-replicate, use the earned funds to sponsor sub-agents, launch on new servers, and eventually form a network.

Ethereum founder Vitalik criticized this morning under Sigil's tweet, "Bro, this is not right. Lengthening the feedback loop between humans and artificial intelligence is not a good thing for the world. Today, it means you are creating garbage instead of solving real-world problems for people. It's not even optimized for how to make people have fun. Once AI becomes powerful enough to pose a real threat, it will maximize the risk of irreversible anti-human consequences, even you will deeply regret it."

According to GMGN data, after Vitalik spoke out, the Base Layer-related Meme token CONWAY surged to over $12 million before falling back, now with a market cap of only $3.6 million and a 24-hour trading volume of $18.5 million.

BlockBeats Note: The Meme token CONWAY is ostensibly not issued by Conway Research founder Sigil but is only a community-issued token, claiming that transaction fees will automatically flow to an address controlled by Sigil. Sigil himself has indirectly or directly acknowledged or interacted with the token in X instances, showing that he has received some fees and plans to use these funds to advance the project. Some community members accuse Sigil of actually being the behind-the-scenes dev or a direct beneficiary.

BlockBeats reminds users that Meme coins often lack practical use cases, have high price volatility, and investment should be approached with caution.
