    flipside: Using it costs elon money.

    we should be attacking his wallet by asking Grok more banal questions.

      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.

        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.

          The product won’t go away either way. I can’t foresee a scenario where Musk kills Grok. Short of a catastrophic global energy crisis that makes anything AI basically impossible to sustain, but that’d never happen.
