MU/TH/UR 6000: an anonymous AI terminal, a full tour

r f — Tue, 08 Sep 2026 11:23:57 +0000

I built a free AI terminal where you never make an account — and I styled it as the ship computer from Alien (1979). It's called MU/TH/UR 6000, it's live at mu7hur.com, and this post is the full tour: what it does, how the anonymous identity works, and where the honest limits are.

The Alien reference is design inspiration only — no affiliation, just love for the 1979 mainframe aesthetic. The product underneath is real and free.

The experience

You land on a green-phosphor CRT terminal with a boot readout. You type. The reply streams in like a mainframe printing to screen. Two modes sit one keystroke apart: SMART (default) and UNCENSORED (F2) — a channel with fewer stylistic restrictions for bold, unusual, or mature creative work that mainstream assistants tend to sand down.

No splash page asks you to sign up. You're chatting before any identity exists.

The identity model: anonymous by architecture

There are no accounts, no email, no phone numbers anywhere in the system. When you want persistence, you create a login that generates a portable identity token (muthur_…). Save it, and your sessions restore on any device. Lose it, and there's nothing to hack, subpoena, or sell — it's a random string, not a person.

Sessions persist automatically on your device while you use the terminal — zero manual saves. And there's a purge control: your data, your call, anytime.

What's actually in the box

Sessions and projects — multiple parallel conversations, organized
CORE REMEMBERS — persistent memory that carries across sessions
UNCENSORED channel — the F2 mode described above
Image fabrication — text-to-image generation built into the terminal
Vision — attach an image and ask about it
Voice — speech input and speech output, both wired in
Document upload — attach files to a conversation for review
Public transmissions — publish a conversation to a public archive others can read, fork, and search
Ships log — a changelog written in-universe (because the whole thing is)

The money part, stated up front

The terminal is free with a daily transmission budget (40/day). When it runs out, the message says so plainly and points at CORE TIME: pay in Monero or Litecoin, credits land on your anonymous token, messages resume. No account is ever created in this process — the credits ride on the same muthur_ token. While your balance is above zero, the whole site runs ad-free. When it burns down to zero, the banner returns. That's the entire business model: free tier unchanged, pay only if you want more.

Power paths

If you want Mother on your own site, there's a drop-in widget: you include one script from mu7hur.com/widget.js and a small ASK MOTHER launcher appears in the corner of your page, opening a mini-terminal right there. No build step, no framework, and it updates itself. The widget builder at mu7hur.com/embed generates the tag for you and lets you pick the corner and the button label. It allows 500 messages per IP per day.

There's also a free one-shot API — no key, CORS enabled. You send a JSON message to mu7hur.com/api/widget/chat and the reply comes straight back; 500 requests per IP per day, replies up to 4000 characters, and the API page shows the exact call. The /cli page has working recipes: pipe a file for review, explain the last error, write commit messages, even a cron job where Mother messages Mother once a day.

Honest limits

The daily budget and the 500/day caps on the widget and API are real — stated up front, no hidden throttling
UNCENSORED means fewer stylistic restrictions, not "anything goes" — there are hard gates where the law draws lines
It runs open-family models behind its own lineup, not a vendor clone

Built and maintained entirely by myself. If you kick the tires, I'd genuinely like to know which feature pulls you in first — the anonymity model, the UNCENSORED channel, or the CRT.
