@theo Theo may I sell you on securing some compute? You clearly need it.

@theo there is zero reason to show this amount that you don’t pay lmao

@theo what are you doing?

@Jacob_Rhodes_ @theo can you put an epilepsy warning on the video on ur Claude'd OnPilot website?

@johnawahba Sticker price. I wouldn't have an apartment to burn tokens from if I had to pay full price 🙃

@theo Me too, making a compact version soon :D

@theo Never heard of these TRMNLs, this looks awesome.. I'm just really amazed at how much it is. What is this doing for $140+ that you can't hack on a much cheaper kindle?

@theo $53K ???

@theo If your 500k engineer isn’t spending at least 250k in tokens I’m gonna be ape you know what

@theo @grok where buy
