    The AI bubble can’t burst soon enough but can anyone tell me how it is even possibly to burn that much money, at current token rates in a single month? How much inference would that be? Was that a huge customer with a lot of users or did they go bonkers with “claw”-stuff to exponentially increase their capacity to burn money in a bonfire?

    CEO: Spending money is too slow. Can we possibly spend money even faster?
    CEO2: We’re working on accountants that can eat gold bars out of the safe on demand.
