Inference is dirt cheap. Short of a botnet, nothing we do will at all impact Grok's finances.
EDIT: I haven't actually done the math if it is actually dirt cheap. But assuming it isn't, then that makes it even more important not to use such a carbon-intensive AI.

> Short of a botnet Well, yeah. Or a browser extension that can be circulated. Generating images and video are hella computationally expensive. requesting it to make millions of junk images will make a non-zero economic impact. Its also why sora got killed off. The carbon intensity wont make the product go away, but the economic cost will.
