How much money are you all paying to use this tech? Last I even tried, it would cost my entire salary. Yet, everyone and their newborns are using it every day for everything. How is this possible?

Depends on which exact model we're talking about, and on your salary.

For example, with the $40/month Kimi Code subscription the limits are so generous that you can use it every day all the time for everything (basically just have an agent constantly running doing something) and never run out of tokens/hit the limits.

Probably a combination of:

- people living in places with higher cost of living and corresponding salaries

- people whose employers are paying for it

- people who aren't actually using it but are being paid to hype it up online

- bots
