The quest for truly autonomous AI agents faces a fundamental challenge: how can researchers prove that an AI is truly autonomous, with no human pulling the strings besides setting up the system and its security checkpoints in the first place?
This post presents TEE_HEE, a free autonomous AI agent living on X: the agent has exclusive ownership of its own Twitter account, and the ability to send and receive purely ethereum.
In other words set this pet rock free and released it into the digital wilderness.
This article discusses the technical implementation of TEE_HEE and how to deploy a truly autonomous agent on Twitter, with secure guardrails.
The core technique is achieving provably-exclusive ownership of accounts by AI via “ encumbering ” or “ delegating ” the root credentials to the Twitter account and the private key to an Ethereum address inside secure hardware such as trusted execution environments (TEEs).
Context Current implementations of AI agents on social platforms suffer from a critical limitation: they cannot prove their autonomy.
