PANews reported on December 28 that in his latest interview, ai16z founder Shaw responded to the market attention aroused by the AI Pool project that he had supported many times on social media. Shaw said that AI Pool was created by partner Skely, so it is mainly his project, but it is built on ElizaOS technology, showing an application process similar to pump.fun, but this process happens in a fairer way on social media, so users don't need to go elsewhere. This also shows a real autonomous agent, which is completely autonomous - ai16z has no control over it and cannot access private keys. It cannot withdraw funds or manipulate it, it runs autonomously.
