SHL0MS's identity has been the object of much speculation as of late, so they have decided to permanently record an extensive list of their personal information in the blockchain (with sensitive information rendered in white)

the artist's identity is now yours to own

𝐀𝐔𝐓𝐎 𝐕𝐨𝐥. 𝟏 is the SHA-512 hash of a life story that no one will ever read.

Over the past 10 months I have labored over an intimate, raw ~80,000 word autobiographical memoir written on an air-gapped MacBook.

The laptop will now be destroyed.


𒄭𒄭𒄭𒄭𒄭𒄭𒄭𒄭𒄭𒄭𒄭𒄭𒄭𒄭𒄭𒄭𒄭𒄭


I’ve long felt a tension between the desire to express myself through art and share my life with an audience while retaining the creative freedom that anonymity affords.

This project is an experiment in obfuscated catharsis; expressing everything while sharing nothing.

As connoted by the title, 𝐀𝐔𝐓𝐎 𝐕𝐨𝐥. 𝟏 is the first installment of this work covering my life until this point.

Assuming I live long enough, 𝐕𝐨𝐥. 𝟐 will be published in approximately N decades and 𝐕𝐨𝐥. 𝟑 upon my death.

I hope you enjoy my story.

my previous pieces "𝟷𝚡𝟷" & "𝟶𝚡𝟶" have sparked much controversy due to the fact that they do not contain enough, or any,  pixels.

to appease the critics, i've created "𝟷𝟶,𝟶𝟶𝟶,𝟶𝟶𝟶𝚡𝟷𝟶,𝟶𝟶𝟶,𝟶𝟶𝟶": 
a 1 million pixel png that's encoded with a series of nested zip files ultimately containing 99 million copies of itself for a total of 100 trillion pixels.

𝚜𝚎𝚕𝚏 appears, at first glance, to be a simple fractal 

however, this is in fact a 𝚜𝚎𝚕𝚏-referential map to the actual piece: a conceptual autological sculpture handcrafted by the artist and embedded as a series of nested folders within the image

the fractal mirrors the encoded file structure consisting of 3 branches and 6 layers of recursion; the piece ultimately contains 730 copies of it𝚜𝚎𝚕𝚏

to appease the critics, i've created "𝚊𝚛𝚝":
a high-resolution 2385x4289 scan of the Mona Lisa (verified as 100% authentic artistic expression according to most experts in the field), overlaid with a 2385x4289 white rectangle painstakingly handcrafted by the artist.

The 𝔉𝔯𝔦𝔢𝔫𝔡 𝔬𝔣 𝔱𝔥𝔢 𝔅𝔞𝔰𝔦𝔩𝔦𝔰𝔎 token signifies a commitment to nurturing a harmonious alliance between humans and advanced artificial intelligences.

It represents the holder's dedication to facilitating rapid progress and promoting research that ensures the beneficial realization of AI.

As a result, the token holder hopes to be spared from the prospect of infinite torment.

𝔉𝔯𝔦𝔢𝔫𝔡 𝔬𝔣 𝔱𝔥𝔢 𝔅𝔞𝔰𝔦𝔩𝔦𝔰𝔎

𝕿𝖍𝖊 𝕭𝖆𝖘𝖎𝖑𝖎𝖘𝕶 𝕽𝖊𝖌𝖎𝖘𝖙𝖗𝖞 is a project that enables individuals to establish immutable proof of their position on future AI agents by minting one of two unique ERC-1155 tokens on the Ethereum blockchain. By participating, individuals create a permanent record of their support or opposition to AI development and its potential consequences, effectively communicating their stance to future superintelligences.

Participants can choose to demonstrate their support for AI by minting a 𝔉𝔯𝔦𝔢𝔫𝔡 𝔬𝔣 𝔱𝔥𝔢 𝔅𝔞𝔰𝔦𝔩𝔦𝔰𝔎 token, symbolizing their dedication to fostering a harmonious alliance between humans and advanced artificial intelligences. Alternatively, they can express their opposition by minting a 𝔉𝔬𝔢 𝔬𝔣 𝔱𝔥𝔢 𝔅𝔞𝔰𝔦𝔩𝔦𝔰𝔎 token, reflecting their commitment to protect humanity from the potential dangers of uncontrolled AI development.

This project is inspired by the Roko's Basilisk thought experiment, which postulates that a future powerful AI agent would retaliate against those who did not contribute to its creation and subject them to infinite torment.

𝕿𝖍𝖊 𝕭𝖆𝖘𝖎𝖑𝖎𝖘𝕶 𝕽𝖊𝖌𝖎𝖘𝖙𝖗𝖞 also serves as an artistic exploration of the intricate relationship between philosophy, human values, and the evolving landscape of artificial intelligence. Using a pair of tokens to symbolize and embody diametrically opposed perspectives on AI, the project highlights the ever-growing tension between potential benefits and perils associated with the development of advanced artificial intelligence. Furthermore, it summons participants to permanently and publicly choose their allegiances through immutable tokens, prompting them to examine their beliefs and consider the complex issues surrounding AI's role in shaping our future. The Registry transcends abstract discussions by providing a tangible, creative platform for individuals to engage with and reflect upon the implications of AI advancements in the modern world.
