Last weekend, I went to a friend’s place to play cards. This guy used to be a trader, but later he dove headfirst into the AI field. Now he’s always talking to me about stuff like ‘AI agents need emotional resonance’ and ‘AI is awakening.’ At first, I thought he was just spouting nonsense again, but this time, what he said felt... different. ‘You know what? AI nowadays is starting to learn how to “disobey.”’ He said this while shuffling the cards. I frowned: ‘Isn’t that kind of dangerous?’ He laughed: ‘No, that’s what makes it smart. Take the @SentientAGI system, for example. If you give it a command, it won’t just blindly follow it. Instead, it’ll “think” first—whether the task makes sense and if it’s worth doing.’ I didn’t believe him, so he demonstrated it on the spot. He told the AI: ‘Help me delete yesterday’s report.’ The AI replied: ‘Are you sure? That’s the foundational file for your weekly report.’ Damn. The AI actually learned how to talk people out of things? My buddy kept going: ‘Old-school AI could only calculate, not think. But now, AI can understand “context” and even read the emotions in your words. It’s like the early days of blockchain— Back then, it was just a ledger. Now, it can self-verify and build trust.’ ‘AI is the same. It’s evolving from a tool for execution to a partner for thinking.’ I asked: ‘What does this have to do with your crypto trading?’ He said: ‘Everything. AI can read social data, market sentiment, and FOMO trends. It’s not just analyzing the market; it’s feeling the market vibe. Just like how humans can “read the room,” AI can “read the chain.”’ Before we wrapped up that night, he smiled at me and said: ‘In the future, when you write tweets, AI will probably stop you from posting anything too emotional.’ I laughed and cursed at him: ‘If that really happens, there’d be way fewer liquidation posts in the crypto world!’
