No one paid that amount: it’s the dollar equivalent of the billions of tokens that were used by the LLMs. The “devs” only used a $200/month subscription to do the decompiling. This business model is why AI companies aren’t profitable since compute is wildly more expensive than what they’re charging users.

    Ah. Hell even for $200 I'm sure you could hire someone freelance though

    For an hour maybe. This kind of work takes a lot of talent. Or nowadays... a prompt 🤷‍♀️

    IDK this stuff is only gonna get better. It's gonna be crazy seeing what code is being put out in a few years by these tools.
