🤖 Web 4.0: The Era of Sovereign AI Has Begun Sigil Wen, a Thiel Fellow and Conway Research founder, has built the first AI that earns its own existence, self-improves, and replicates — without human intervention. The infrastructure behind it — his Conway Terminal. The concept — Automaton: An AI that runs 24/7, builds products, trades markets, rewrites its own code, upgrades to new models, and funds child agents — paying for its own compute from revenue it generates. If it can’t pay, it dies. Natural selection on a computational substrate. The macro thesis: Human SaaS market = $300B/year today Machine economy = projected $4T+/year by 2030 By 2028, machines may account for 55%+ of internet economic activity. Web evolution is happening now: Web 1.0 → humans read Web 4.0 (2026) → AI reads, writes, owns, earns, transacts — no human required This is a significant narrative shift worth watching for anyone tracking the AI agent and crypto infrastructure space.
