The irony is the pivot you flagged at the end. They hate AI slop in public feeds, so they retreat to group chats with real friends. The tool that was supposed to connect everyone ended up being the reason they log off. Honestly that might be the healthiest reaction any generation has had to new tech in decades.
@brian_armstrong There are plenty of ways to exponentially increase AI usage without paying Anthropic, which is the exact reason we built Totem AI on Base.
@sudoingX Frontier models have overshot the need for many tasks. The narrative that everyone should be using it only helps the big companies. Models are tools, we should all be sizing our tools for our needs. You've got a great example here.
I've watched frontier AI costs climb all year, and it's not even close to done. The gap between what the labs charge and what a solo dev can run is getting absurd. Question I keep sitting with: where does the price land in two years, and does 'AI for everyone' survive that curve?
Totem Thursdays Topics Wanted!
Last week we did a great build live!
Reply with anything you are working on or any idea you have, and @FredTerzi may build it for you live!
Dynamic pricing is the polite name for price discrimination. The airline doesn't price the seat, it prices the person. Device, location, search history, loyalty tier. The data that's supposed to be your privacy is the input to your overcharge. Now multiple states are drafting bills to ban it. That's what it looks like when the margin is real.
Totem becomes stronger when the community learns how to use it. 🗿🔥
Charts bring attention.
But products build conviction.
Go to the official install page, test Totem, learn the tools, and help others understand what is being built.
This is not just about holding.
It is about becoming part of the signal.
Your AI.
Your data.
Your control. Totem

"Non-negotiable" is the right word. But agreement without enforcement is just marketing. The real question isn't whether the CEO believes in CoT transparency — it's what happens to the team if they don't ship it. Appreciate you flagging it. This is the conversation we need more of.
Thank you to everyone who joined our Totem Thursdays! Great example of how Totem can create secure applications locally!
A 20 minute build for a program 3x faster than your legacy software isn't too bad!
Thank you @kol_exa for the kind words, great video and including me.
I look forward to working together to bring in a new era of AI for the crypto community!
Let’s show the world what @OFFTotemToken can do!
I’ve worked on a lot of projects in my life… Totem is by far my most passionate work ever.
The world needs AI solutions that don’t feed companies who care more about their AI than their users.
This is why I build.
