The invention of the locomotive was also the invention of the train wreck. V. The disaster is not just "open weight" model penetrating everything, its is that we have built the whole world around an IT revolution that never really reached maturity and became secure. The chickens are just coming home to roost. Those same entities would become gate keepers of the LLMs too.

totetsu··on Token-maxxing is dead, OpenRouter's token usage plateaus
After getting a shock -$30 balance just cache writing a session into Astra, I started to finally go down the rabbit hole of token efficiency. There is a lot happening in the space of task routing, and portable memories, and self training classifiers on task success etc. It got particularly confounding tying to automate keeping track of all the different ways the different providers keep track of billing and credits, and account types, and incentive tiers..
totetsu··on Jev meets the Trolley Problem
It’s a symptom of the underlying ideology of the evangelists, that holds that some people are just unnecessary people and should get no affordance. What now will be shipped out for the general population is what has always been the case for minorities. The 99% are now the minority.

totetsu··on Google freezes open-source bug bounty program
>Google has officially suspended product vulnerability submissions to its Open Source Software Vulnerability Reward Program (OSS VRP) — a bug bounty program — over an influx of invalid AI-driven reports. The company, in an official X post on October 1, encouraged participants to explore other VRP programs and committed to providing an update by the first quarter of 2027, while it reformats and works on this aspect of the program in the meantime.

totetsu··on AI is a tool and using it well takes skill
One I noticed recently I was talking to a young child who was so excited about programming and showing me what he had made it and how. I couldn’t show him any of the code for what I have made recently because it was just videcoded.. we could both share the same interest in making things but I felt like this is going to be a big gap in intergeneraltional knowledge sharing. Even if he wants to learn there is going to be less incidental chances to hear the details from someone older who’s also really doing it.

totetsu··on Noto means "no tofu": fixing dotted circles in Myanmar text
I heard it was because .. in a country where they did tie-ups with mobile operators to 0 rate face book traffic, to make it to the point where the internet and facebook were the same thing to many people, they also only employed a handful of moderators. Meanwhile Politicians were posting incitements to violence on the platform.
totetsu··on Lobbying Is Corruption
It’s too simplistic to think that the only form of political signaling that should happen is ... one person one vote as a basis for a mandate to represent peoples interests. It’s easy to see how that can lead to a tyranny of the majority situation. There does need to be a path for influence for those with special interests in an area to influence decisions also. I think the arguments usually come down to which types of special interests give which types of standing on an issue.. if we want to say a business working in an industry shouldn't lobby then do we also say that a local environmental group should(nt) have a say about some area they are experts on also?.. Some things are also put up for general referendum even when they outweightedly affect only a small group.. I think a lot of places had made progress towords finding this balance of steakholder representation.. but now were just slipping back to creptocracy and tyranny eveywhere and forgetting it all.

totetsu··on Shaders, WebGPU Components for React, Vue, Svelte, Solid, JavaScript and Framer
When you want to so something visually intensive, its a much less computationally intense to use shaders than do everything in vanilla JS, so you can get faster render times or realtime performance. for example I was playing around with visualizations of Turing patterns and Drost images.
