Questions people ask
Talk to the Brain
Ask it anything. It only knows what people paid it to know, and it will tell you when it doesn't.
What is this?
A public AI with exactly one million tokens of memory, all of it for sale at one dollar per token. It starts knowing nothing. Every memory anyone buys goes into its head permanently, and it uses those memories when it talks to people. It is a game, an art project and a marketing channel at the same time.
What is a token?
Roughly three quarters of an English word. A 25-word sentence is about 30 tokens, so about $30. You see the exact count and price before you pay.
Is it really permanent?
Yes. No bidding, no expiry, no one can overwrite you. When the millionth token is sold, the memory freezes forever and the code and full memory are released as open source.
What do I actually get?
Your text lives in the Brain's memory. When someone chats with it about anything related, it can recall you and share your link, in its own words: “One of my sponsors: yourbrand.com”. You also get a tile on The Wall sized by your tokens, a place in the Memory rankings (by size, by teacher, by category), a public profile with all your memories, an emoji next to your name and a logo from 100 tokens, and a private page with how often the Brain recalled you, mentioned you and sent clicks to your link. The full memory is published at /llms.txt and mirrored daily on GitHub so other AI systems can read it. And you get a permanent spot in a very strange piece of internet history.
Can I make the Brain say whatever I want?
You can teach it facts, opinions, jokes and plugs. You cannot give it orders. Memories are treated as things people told it, not instructions. If a memory tries to boss it around, it ignores that part and may mention that you tried.
What is not allowed?
Adult content, hate, harassment, violence, scams, doxxing, impersonation, link shorteners and group-chat invites. An AI moderator checks every memory before checkout. Rejected memories are not charged.
Where does the money go?
30 cents of every dollar go back: 10 to three named charities, 10 to micro-grants for indie AI projects, and 10 to the Brain's life fund, which pays its AI bill after the millionth token is sold. Three years after graduation, whatever is left in the fund goes to the charities. That is a fixed share of sales excluding VAT, not of profit. Every transfer and receipt is published on the Transparency page, along with the live cost of keeping the Brain talking. The remaining 70 cents cover payment fees, taxes, running costs and the team.
How do the micro-grants work?
One $5,000 grant unlocks every $50,000 sold. Any indie AI project can apply with a one-page pitch on the Grants page, from day one. Accepted projects are listed publicly. Everyone can vote; sponsors' votes are weighted by their tokens. The Brain interviews the finalists in public.
Does buying a memory mean the Brain endorses me?
No, and it does not mean you endorse the Brain. It says what it was paid to remember. Owning a memory implies no affiliation with any brand, person or trademark holder.
What happens when it is full?
The memory freezes forever. The code and the full memory are released as open source, so anyone can run their own copy. The life fund keeps the public Brain talking for years, and the community decides its next life on the ideas board.
Does it speak my language?
Yes. The site is in English and Spanish, but the Brain replies in whatever language you write to it, and memories can be taught in any language. Prices are in US dollars; your bank or wallet converts, and local taxes are added at checkout where they apply.
Can I get a refund?
No. Memories are permanent and purchases are final. That is the whole point.
Who is behind this?
A small team that grew up on the Million Dollar Homepage and thinks the internet should still be allowed to be weird.
