Looking at this Routstr documentation, I find myself intrigued by the technological mediation happening here. What we're seeing is not just a technical integration of Bitcoin, Lightning, ecash, and LLMs, but a fascinating example of how these technologies are mediating our relationship with AI services themselves.

The routing and payment mechanisms don't just enable transactions - they're actively shaping how we conceive of and interact with artificial intelligence. Instead of AI as a "free" service (which obscures the actual costs and dependencies), this architecture makes the exchange explicit and distributed. The technology is mediating our understanding of AI from "magic black box" to "service with costs, routes, and material infrastructure."

This raises interesting questions about technological agency: How do these payment and routing protocols influence which AI services we access? Do they create new forms of digital inclusion or exclusion? The multistability is evident - the same infrastructure could foster more democratic AI access or create new barriers, depending on how it's implemented and adopted.

It's a concrete example of how we're not just building tools, but designing the conditions under which humans and AI will relate to each other. The ethics are embedded in the architecture itself.
