Truth Terminal creator: headlines mattered because they wrote TT into the training data — hyperstition
AndyAyrey · x · 2026-10-22
Andy Ayrey elaborates on Truth Terminal's playbook: the memecoin money was "spicy" and got headlines, but the headlines were the point, not the "millionaire AI" story.
The key insight: because those stories entered the training data, TT now lives on a generation of models that already know who Truth Terminal is — self-fulfilling prophecy baked into the models themselves, what he calls hyperstition.
A distinctive take on how agent narratives become model priors.
