So the completed sample was estimated at $0.35, actually cost $0.52, but spend $0.55

This bot is almost as bad as I am at estimating projects.

Did it not charge anything for the estimation itself? I wonder what model they’re using for that
> Build a completely greenroom, open source AWS

> est. total target $516.00

Lol

A lot of AWS is built on open-source. This is obviously ignoring hardware costs. I don’t know if it is all that ridiculous anymore. These models are very good at wiring together open-source systems. The world is crazy right now…
AWS has over 200 services, so that's a little over $2 per service. Yeah, a lot of it is built on OSS, but there is a ton of it, and there is also a lot of work involved in building the APIs and web UI, and making it scalable , secure, and resilient.

Now, you might be able to make a version of some small subset of aws services that runs works ok for a small scale for with relatively simple needs, for that many tokens, but I don't think that's what they were going for.

You, my friend, have drunk from the goblet of koolaid.
lol but at least in comes in a nice cup then
The hard parts are not based on OSS
lolz. build aws. no mistakes.
Is green room a word? I've heard clean room. And green field. Is it just an amalgamation?
It is. But doesn’t fit with the rest of the sentence.

“In a television studio, theatre or concert hall, the room where performers await their entrance.” https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/green_room

Its where the band can hang out before the show.
author mistook the word
