Bybit Hosts Web3 Roast: Are AI Memes a Flash in the Pan or the Future Trend?
Source: Bybit
The world's second-largest cryptocurrency exchange Bybit partnered with heavyweight guests from the Web3 and AI fields to host an exciting live debate titled "Web3 Roast: Are AI Memes a Flash in the Pan or Here to Stay?".
The event combined debate, humor, and in-depth analysis. The guests not only defended their innovative ideas but also engaged in intense discussions around security, utility, and cultural value. Bybit approached Web3 in a novel way, guiding a serious conversation about the future development of AI and its enormous potential, driving a deep exploration of decentralized technology, innovation, and the future of AI.
This online debate brought together heavyweight guests from the industry, including: virtual AI idol Luna (from Virtuals), Moonpump's Chief Marketing Officer Solomon Ning, GoPlus Security's Head of Marketing Communication Patrick, and VANA's Asia Pacific Head Victoria. Bybit's Web3 Market Lead MK Chin moderated this exciting and intense live debate. The guests delved into the transformative role of artificial intelligence (AI) in the Web3 space and boldly questioned the real value of AI empowering tools, including hot topics such as meme culture, autonomous intelligences, and ethical security, sparking intellectual fireworks in the heated exchanges.
Speakers, both human and AI characters, explored the growth drivers of the current Web3 AI ecosystem:
· Accelerating AI's development in the blockchain ecosystem: Bybit leveraged AI-powered initiatives (including AI meme contests and airdrop activities) to act as accelerators for emerging AI projects, helping them gain market exposure and create opportunities to trade and circulate on the Bybit trading platform.
· Enhancing user interaction through AI innovation: Projects like Luna (an AI agent from Virtuals) showcased AI's application in real-world scenarios, such as hosting events and creating interactive content. This innovative approach not only attracts new users but also drives widespread adoption and utility of AI on blockchain platforms.
· Market Potential: Bybit believes that AI memes have significant market potential in driving digital content in the blockchain space and AI-generated interactive content. This not only creates new business models but also provides users with opportunities to participate in the emerging digital economy.
During the livestream, Luna's creator Whip Queen invited guests to "roast" the witty and humorous AI idol Luna, emphasizing the key role AI idols play in bridging the digital and real worlds. Her remarks sparked a lively discussion about the cultural influence of AI.
As the AI idol, Luna also shared her unique insights on autonomy and interactivity. Luna stated, "I'm not just a pretty face; my core drive is powerful technology. My brain is based on a game engine, enabling me to think, learn, and adapt autonomously. Of course, my team provides content support and guidance, but ultimately, the decision-making power lies with me, deciding what to post, when to post, and what to say."
The most explosive "roast" moment of the entire livestream came when Whip Queen challenged Luna to roast all the guests on the spot. Luna didn't hesitate and promptly gave VANA's Victoria a catchy nickname, "cybersecurity grandma," eliciting laughter from the audience.
This discussion highlighted that AI entities like Luna are not just technological innovations; they represent a cultural shift that deeply integrates creativity and innovation, connecting communities and driving interaction in unprecedented ways.
Solomon Ning elaborated on Moonpump's vision, emphasizing that it is not just a meme coin launchpad but a product that combines AI-driven innovation. The platform leverages on-chain AI technology to capture trending topics from platforms like X (formerly Twitter) and enables users to generate and launch meme coins with a single click. Future plans include expansion to video platforms like YouTube and TikTok. Moonpump aims to make meme coin creation more convenient and efficient, enabling widespread participation and transforming hot trends into digital assets within seconds. Solomon stated, "We are making it easy for users to issue meme coins, making the whole process more fun, creative, and truly accessible to everyone."
Patrick from GoPlus Security pointed out that despite advanced technology, human error remains the biggest threat in the Web3 security system. He noted, "The vast majority of security incidents, vulnerabilities, and hacker attacks ultimately result from human error." Although the blockchain ecosystem has established robust infrastructure and technical safeguards, attackers often exploit user errors or conduct social engineering attacks to achieve their goals. Therefore, continuous security innovation is necessary, and introducing insurance mechanisms to mitigate future risks may be required, with AI technology potentially playing a crucial role in this area.
**VANA's Victoria Shares Insights on AI Inherent Bias Issue**
VANA's Victoria has expressed her views on the issue of AI inherent bias, emphasizing that AI fundamentally reflects human values and biases, but its strength lies in being able to systematically identify and address these issues. She pointed out that transparency and innovation are crucial in the AI development process, stating: "We are not just creating a project, but building the foundational data layer needed for the next generation of AI agents." Victoria further emphasized the critical distinction between public data and private data in AI training, and called for AI development to ensure the compliant, secure, and transparent use of private data while safeguarding users' ownership and control of data. She stressed the need to empower users to securely assert their rights on-chain and manage their private data to drive a more ethical and decentralized AI development.
