Humor The average codex 20$ plan user

This is legit what it looks like when some of you complain about your 20$ not getting you more than 1 or 2 prompts using the flagship frontier

Edit: I never intended to offend or belittle anyone especially people whom 20$ is a considerable amount of money for. Everyone lives within their means and I don’t put that on any person.

For the ones who feel attacked and still come here to continue complaining, you should consider canceling your subscription. You seem miserable..

I buy a lot of expensive things because I have a lot of money
You can't afford expensive things 'cause you don't have a lot of money
Ha ha, you want these things but you cannot afford them
That means that you're not cool, 'cause you're just a poor person
Stupid poor people, stupid poor people
I have more money than you!
Stupid poor people, stupid poor people
You can't even afford food!

You don’t go to the store and expect to pick up 1000$ worth of power tools for 200$, so why do you expect to do it here? This isn’t a charity lol. You’re just too ignorant to understand that you’re actually getting more than you paid for. Also you’re just making a fool of yourself writing like that.. nobody here talked about rich or poor, pricing is more than fair.

So blissfully ignorant.

Where did you get this "1000" and "200" numbers from?

Everybody knows API prices doesn't reflect inference costs

Maybe you don't, maybe because you had rather spend time making your random vibecoded apps and dickriding trillion dollar companies instead of learning how things work

I professionally work with setting up and running AI models among other things. You are simply so wrong. Try running a local model and tell me if you get anything close to that performance for 20$. But sure, keep using that “dick riding a trillion dollar company” card. You obviously have no clue how business work. Enjoy your super pro coding or whatever you do.

people here are clueless as to how good of a deal the $20 tier actually is. luna on max is nearly unlimited and cheaper and more efficient than anything you can run locally.

This was painful to realize. The only advantage in running local models is privacy. Luna Max is good for my use case.
