A viral AI meme: a kid asks "mom why are we poor?" while the punchline shows "dad in his 20s and 30s" — a desk with a dashboard of LLM spending (OpenAI 412.6B tokens/$89,617, Anthropic 298B/$61,204, Gemini, xAI), totaling 1.37T tokens and $248,376, complete with an AI token invoice and a checklist of ever-pricier models and reasoning modes. A sharp self-deprecating joke about how much heavy AI users burn on inference.
