On December 28th, Shaw, the founder of ai16z, responded to the market's attention to the AI Pool project that he had previously supported multiple times on social media in a recent interview. Shaw stated that AI Pool was created by partner Skely, so it is mainly his project, but it is built on ElizaOS technology, demonstrating a similar application process to pump.fun. However, this process occurs in a more fair manner on social media, so users do not need to go elsewhere. This also demonstrates a true autonomous agent, which is completely autonomous - ai16z has no control over it and cannot access private keys. It cannot embezzle funds or manipulate it, it runs autonomously.
