This reminds me of Mrs. Davis (2023). An AI upends the world economy by giving people quests that are rewarded by fulfilling everyone’s inner-most desires. Each quest contributes to someone else’s reward. A nun sets out on a quest to destroy it. It is fully unhinged.

There's a very good Brazilian series "Desejos S.A."—literally "Wishes Ltd" but translated into English as "Whatever, whenever". People call a mysterious phone number, voicemail prompt tells them "At the tone, speak your wish clearly", then they get no further feedback and hang up. Shortly after, their wish comes true... and they have to do one task (always incomprehensible to them, often reprehensible) so that someone else gets their wish.

This feels like a big PR stunt. Published by a ai tech bro, highly ambiguous, hard to verify, where’s the money going? Sounds great as a headline. Edit: Just looked into timeline, it does not add up.

It's extremely similar to the fake "agentic" crypto plays a year ago

Where Goatseus Maximus and stuff supposedly created coins and invested autonomously.

Obviously it was BS but it fueled a huge amount of attention and speculation
