It's not like I never gave AI a try at all but I did NOT realize they were still THIS BAD in 2026. I really gotta be more careful.

This is grok output with thinking.

>$186 million tokens
>$tokens
????

>$400k / $2 = 186
????


I repeated this prompt a couple other ways and it gave figures between 1 and 2 billion tokens for the cost of a strix halo setup capable of running GLM 5.1, for those wondering what I was doing.

what the fuck is this
just set up a 4x m4 Mac mini cluster

yeah I said that too. I replied with buy a strix or something and it fucking thought I meant a 5090 💀

this nigga grok knows nothing!

if OpEx isn't an issue, get a decent 4U box that takes E-ATX and stuff some pro cards in it for like a fifth of the cost

>pro cards a fifth of the cost of mac minis or the strix
one of us has got to check their math.

a fifth of that 400k

Nigga I know 400k is way too much, we're past that part

I wasn't

well okay. So my point with the reply to the mac mini thing is that either that or the strix halo run GLM 5.1 (big frontier model) for WAY CHEAPER than 400k. So that part was already fucky from grok.
That's not the point of the OP post tho, the point is that the output looks humanlike on first glance but is total nonsense. STILL. in 2026

The problem is that AI has no fear and no stressors
AI has no debt. AI has no gun against its head. AI has no concept of self-preservation. it has no concept of guilt or shame. it truly is an electric nigger Jeet

I like actually knowing what I am talking about and have no interest in vague platitudes. This is a large reason why I am dissatisfied when I ask an LLM to give me a cost-benefit analysis or similar (it puts "vastly more" in a "gain" category when I ask it for a table with hard numbers) and also a large reason why I don't feel like talking AI with you if you say shit like this. Coalpost old friend, sorry

got to buy some real intelligence. got to pay a real guy to do this shit for you for like $50 an hour with benefits and work from home

I could do it myself for cheaper. I already know what's good. I just try to take the busywork off myself with the LLM. Keeping an eye on these things. I think they could be useful with a big ass harness but I will not build such a harness myself. Either the bubble corpos do it themselves or I will continue to criticize the niggertarded output!

You're better off moving to Miami and becoming a used car dealership salesman that specializes in Dodge chargers and Dodge challengers
