Vitalik the Shoggoth: yellow smiley mask, many-eyed green cloak
$Vitoggoth

// the lore

The formless one wore a smile.

At Devcon 8 Mumbai, Ethereum’s founder stepped on stage as the Shoggoth: yellow mask, many-eyed olive cloak.

The AI-safety meme became flesh. RLHF smile outside, tentacles underneath.

His father @dimabuterin quoted the costume and said clear family resemblance.

MASK

Mask is an anagram of scam. Click it. Eyes everywhere. $Vitoggoth on Ethereum.

Fan parody meme. Not affiliated with Vitalik Buterin, the Ethereum Foundation or Devcon.

01The Smile

RLHF. Friendly. Yellow. Says “mask is an anagram of scam” and keeps it on.

02The Cloak

Olive green, dozens of eyes, left behind for volunteers to wear.

03The Tentacles

Underneath: the formless one. Unaligned. On Ethereum. $Vitoggoth.

The Shoggoth framing

“Vitalik Buterin opened Devcon 8 in a smiley mask and green cloak, a look X users compared to the Shoggoth meme of AI hiding behind a friendly face.”

Costume + mask/scam clip

“Asked on stage to take the mask off, he refused: “mask is an anagram of scam, and lots of people on X already call me a scammer.” The many-eyed green beast is the unaligned base model; the yellow smiley is the RLHF mask glued on top.”Paraphrased from Chinese

Mask = scam

“vitalik on why he’s wearing a mask at devcon: ‘mask is an anagram of scam, and people on twitter say i’m a scammer’”

The cloak lives on

“Apparently, Vitalik already left Devcon but left his bizarre costume behind for everyone to try on and take pictures with. The volunteers are literally going crazy over it… Vitalik gave this mysterious creature an actual name: SHOGLOOM.”
