I assume this is an attempt at an implementation of Balaji Srinivasan's Network State idea: https://thenetworkstate.com/

#12"What is Celody? Celody is a network state powered by a new form of music. By listening to infinite music streams, you generate tokens that are used inside a musical universe of digital people. In short, Celody is a world born from music." These words don't mean anything. There may be an interesting project in here, but it's impossible to say for sure. If the creators are reading, you really need to figure out what's…
I think this talk explains it concisely:

This perfectly encapsulates the problem.

Check out the "editing people" section.
Or
> Because digital people have data which can be changed using tokens, they are capable of being unique entities. So you can interact with them. You can spend your tokens to chat with them. This chat is an artificial intelligence system that uses the digital person's data to communicate with you in real-time.
So listen to endless streams of shitty auto-generated musak in order to "earn" credit to spend on chatting to AI chatbots.

#15I'm getting strong Temple OS vibes from this. Has anyone checked in on the creator of this site to see if they're OK?

#16This seems to be mostly a game / art project where you listen to music to gain in-game currency which you can use to manipulate digital NPCs (like Sim City but with music).
There's other ways to earn tokens though. You can submit songs, and if they get enough votes from other users, you get tokens. So I guess this is a mix of a music streaming platform, and a simulation game.
What a wild and weird concept. I'd love to see more art projects like this.

#17I'd like to think this is approaching peak blockchain, but I strongly suspect it really isn't.

#19There are more people creating virtual worlds and currency systems than actually participating in them.

Yes. This is a fascinating experiment; I would love to see the code to understand if it approaches a true "decentralized autonomous organization".
