alt Hacker NewsCool project, but just a side thought I was having about how do people have resources and the money to make things like this and make it avl for public, I mean it's fair to say they have their own GPUs or if they are using api keys for gpt or Gemini with enterprise subsidized inference
But still coming from a frugal background I still cannot wrap my head around this

They’ll take it down once they get hit with a 50k inference bill overnight after getting hit by the hug.
University?
I didn't want to even try it because of similar. ("immigrant mentality" they call it around here. it's not a pejorative. TLDR: frugal because starting life over)
and it's really slow. I didn't end up waiting. Not a slight to the creators, let them create. It's just really freaking slow I didn't wait.
I mean, do you have any hobbies or does every cent you have go to food, rent, and savings, with no frivolities, not even a drink after work or food that isn't rice and beans? Some people play video games or painting or carpentry or what have you. Instead of spending money on alcohol or sports, some people with FAANG-level salaries choose to spend their entertainment budget on GenAI art projects. Not your cup of tea, totally fine, but I suspect your budget has something others could choose to find frivolous if someone wanted to nitpick.
I am unfortunately just paying for this out of pocket! Didn't really expect it to blow up like this.
