I think this talk explains it concisely:

This perfectly encapsulates the problem.
bingo...
>>> Celody generates tokens using a "proof of music" mechanism. If you listen to Celody music for a random time period, tokens will likely be generated. With this token, you can vote for laws, elect politicians, change personalities, swap images, mate people, chat, stake, buy stuff and more. The world is constantly expanding.
You can do everything xD

Ah, so it's the attention economy, implemented in BlOcKcHaIn, folded in on itself until there is only a contrived utility that has zero basis outside of the narrow context it creates for itself.
Hmm I got lost at "proof of". I wonder if this is validate of tweet by PG about "old people dont like new things because they consider them undignified" (or something similar). Seriously I dont actually get this. I do work (listen to music) to earn (coins) so I can do things? Isnt that what my day job is supposed to be?
So basically Zombocom?
The only limit, is yourself.
Sounds like you get eXperience Points for listening to music and that gives you privileges. Interesting, but bound to be dominated by those with serious time on their hands.

You can obviously do soooo much with it, that my mind boggles. As an example of how much more you can do versus some other things, I can only contribute a very boring example (involving no musical universe at all) via "Linux on the Web":
1) Goto http://lotw.site/shell
2) At the prompt, enter : import av && beep
3) Once your head starts pounding, hit Ctrl+c

Check out the "editing people" section.
Or
> Because digital people have data which can be changed using tokens, they are capable of being unique entities. So you can interact with them. You can spend your tokens to chat with them. This chat is an artificial intelligence system that uses the digital person's data to communicate with you in real-time.
So listen to endless streams of shitty auto-generated musak in order to "earn" credit to spend on chatting to AI chatbots.

This seems to be mostly a game / art project where you listen to music to gain in-game currency which you can use to manipulate digital NPCs (like Sim City but with music).
There's other ways to earn tokens though. You can submit songs, and if they get enough votes from other users, you get tokens. So I guess this is a mix of a music streaming platform, and a simulation game.
What a wild and weird concept. I'd love to see more art projects like this.

Yes. This is a fascinating experiment; I would love to see the code to understand if it approaches a true "decentralized autonomous organization".

I'd like to think this is approaching peak blockchain, but I strongly suspect it really isn't.
I so confused. Listen to music and get alt coins? is that what is happening here? whats the catch?!?!
I think the catch is that pretty much nobody would want to do that.
I'm getting strong Temple OS vibes from this. Has anyone checked in on the creator of this site to see if they're OK?
Unfortunately Terry Davis died in 2018
People photos on the main page are deepfakes :)
I assume this is an attempt at an implementation of Balaji Srinivasan's Network State idea: https://thenetworkstate.com/
I was also wondering this, having just finished the book, but I am still kind of confused.
There are more people creating virtual worlds and currency systems than actually participating in them.
These words don't mean anything. There may be an interesting project in here, but it's impossible to say for sure. If the creators are reading, you really need to figure out what's interesting about this to your target audience.
