0:00This is how much money I've spent on AI in a single month and honestly the results are going to shock you.
0:05First, we have Claude Code. I cancel it every single month and yet every single month I seem
0:11to renew it. I just can't get rid of it. Next, we have Cursor. I bought a $60 per month plan
0:16and I canceled it to a $20 per month plan because it's just not as good. Next, we have all my LLM
0:22costs and I spent only $1,300 for this month and a lot of this was actually API credit from
0:28so I'm really not spending all that much money. Next, I have MuseCode. I'm spending $50 per month.
0:34This actually might go up. I'm kind of liking it but they need to be a little bit better for
0:39me to make the upgrade. Next, I have ChatGPT. I'm spending $100 per month on one account.
0:45I'm also spending $500 per month on the other account. I'm sorry. I just can't stop using Codex
0:51and that's really it for LLM costs. Now, I did spend $2,000 this month on infrastructure so
0:56it's probably worth it.
