A public AI experiment that sells permanent memory tokens for $1 each, inviting people to teach its shared brain.

Landing page captured for the 2026-09-10 issue.

Field notes

The project treats each paid memory as a unit in a shared knowledge system: visitors are invited to buy tokens, while later visitors can question the resulting AI through a public chat. Its surrounding interface includes a memory feed, neural-network view, Ideas board, grants, patrons, transparency material, and a Spanish-language option. The page states that $5,000 grants unlock at each $50,000 sales threshold and that the code and memory are intended for open-source release at full capacity.
