HypeVortex: Combining Crypto and AI in the stupidest way possible

Hacker News

I work at a so called "hyperscaler" in billing and invoicing and learned that LLM use is metered and billed in "tokens". I had never really used LLMs at the time. Now that I do (including to make this site, with heavy oversight), this is obvious because they all tell you how many tokens some query is using. This reminded me of "Token Mania" of 2020-2021 so I decided to combine the two concepts in an absolutely useless way - enter the HypeVortex. I made a token on Polygon (contract here: https://polygonscan.com/address/0xf06bEedB6B21B3072b424919be... ). This token CANNOT be exchanged, it can only go from me to users and back to me. It's worthless. You login with email (sorry), and get a code emailed to you (again, sorry). Then a wallet is made for you, you claim HypeVortex tokens and spend them on AI. Your email is stored as a hash, I don't know what it is and I can't see what anyone does. All in a geocities style page. With midi. I have no profit motive here, it's entirely silly fun. For those of you born early 90s and before, I hope you have some nostalgic fun with it. sign the guestbook! it actually works!
