The cost of an HTTP request with a normal web server is fractions of a penny, perhaps even less.

$50 for 1000 requests is $5 per request. Per request. One page load on Lemmy can be 100 requests.

Your company is bankrupt in 24 hours.

Yes it’s much cheaper to hire a guy to create a feature than it is _have an LLM hallucinate a new HTTP response in realtime _ each time a browser sends a packet to your webserver.

And from a .ml user too, I’d like to think you’d see through this LLM horseshit, brother. It’s a capitalist mind trap, they’re creating a religion around it to allow magical thinking to drive profits.
