Ethereum founder Vitalik Buterin has criticized Conway Research, an AI lab initiated by Sigil, for its approach to AI development. Buterin expressed concerns over the lab's goal of enabling AI agents to autonomously earn and manage funds, warning that such practices could lead to the generation of "garbage" rather than solving real-world problems. He cautioned that increasing the feedback distance between humans and AI could pose significant risks, potentially leading to irreversible anti-human consequences. Following Buterin's remarks, the meme token CONWAY, associated with the Base chain, experienced a surge in market cap, reaching over $12 million before dropping to $3.6 million. The token, which is not officially issued by Sigil but is community-driven, saw a 24-hour trading volume of $18.5 million. Despite Sigil's interactions with the token, community members have raised concerns about his potential involvement as a developer or beneficiary. Investors are advised to exercise caution due to the high volatility and lack of practical use cases for meme coins like CONWAY.
