Researchers explore how memes and shared belief systems are driving the creation of increasingly autonomous on-chain systems in finance and computing. The concept of "hyperstition" suggests that beliefs can become self-fulfilling, shaping reality. This dynamic is observed in financial markets and cryptocurrencies, where meme-driven systems evolve complexly, creating new forms of artificial agency. The paper examines how smart contracts on the Ethereum blockchain may lead to the development of a new kind of AI-based operating system for autonomous robotics and creative processes.
