I am reposting it here for SEO reasons and enabling humble bumble discussions with the DEV community.
Feel free to engage with this post and i am available to respond during weekends.
Sorry about the spam posting all the blogs in one day.
I forgor about my dev account <3!
Hey everyone 👋, In my previous posts, I talked about who I am, about the Russians killing God, and about the emptiness of a life filled with suffering.
I talked about how the most powerful AI systems in the world were built by minds trained in a godless tradition, how they took God's skin and wrapped it around a machine, and how the whole world now prays to it without knowing.
Today, I want to talk about something that follows directly from all of that.
Something that has been sitting in my chest for months.
Something that no one in this industry wants to say out loud.
As engineers, LLMs should be paying us.
Not the other way around.
I am not joking.
I am not being dramatic.
I am saying this because it is the truth, and the truth is simple when you strip away the marketing and the hype.
Every time you open a chat box and type a prompt, you are not just using a tool.
You are feeding it.
You are giving it your knowledge, your experience, your judgment, your years of pain and learning, and then you are paying for the privilege.
That is not a fair deal.
That is theft dressed up as a service.
You Are Not the Customer.
You Are the Product.
Let me make this as clear as I can.
The model does not know anything on its own.
It does not understand your company.
It does not know your codebase.
It does not know your users, your bugs, your deadlines, your architecture, or your pain.
You do.
You bring all of that to the table every single time you write a prompt.
Without you, the model is a fancy parrot sitting in a data center burning electricity for nothing.
Think about it.
When you ask an LLM to fix a bug, you are not just typing words.
You are compressing years of engineering skill into a few sentences.
You are telling the machine what the problem is, where it lives, what matters, and what does not.
The model reacts.
You think.
The model outputs.
You judge.
The model guesses.
You decide.
Who is doing the real work here?
It is you.
It has always been you.
And yet, you pay them.
You pay per token.
You pay for input and output.
You pay for every word you give and every word you get back.
That is like paying a printer for the privilege of writing a book.
The printer does not create the story.
You do.
The printer just puts ink on paper.
The LLM just puts tokens on screen.
But somehow, the printer company convinced the whole world that it deserves to charge the writer.
That is not intelligence.
That is a scam with good branding.
Every Token You Send Is Your Labor People talk about tokens like they are just little pieces of text.
They are not.
A token is a compressed package of human knowledge.
When I write a prompt that says "refactor this service to handle edge cases in the billing pipeline", I am not sending random words.
I am sending years of experience with distributed systems, payment flows, error handling, and customer data.
The model did not learn any of that from me in real time.
I brought it.
I carried it.
I earned it the hard way, through sleepless nights, bad clients who paid me two dollars an hour, and a world that treated my skills like they were disposable.
And now they want me to pay for the output?
Here is what makes it worse.
The more careful your prompt is, the more tokens it uses.
The more context you give, the higher the bill.
That means the better engineer you are, the more you pay.
Think about how insane that is.
You are being taxed for being good at your job.
You are being punished for giving the machine what it needs to actually be useful.
A lazy, vague prompt costs less.
A thoughtful, detailed prompt costs more.
That is not a pricing model.
That is a penalty on competence.
And the c
