"Veo will cost more than hiring a lawyer" is a better way to explain the costs.
That's 2 eggs, per second. Or is that ½ an egg per second?
Either way, I can't lay eggs that fast...
How quickly can you lay eggs? Any non-zero answer is impressive. Negative is almost more confusing than impressive.
This is the stonk market yo, if I gotta go negative, I just push the eggs back in for later. Don't you?
....
No. Like, no....
Never.
Literally no one does that...
Are... Are you okay?
That’s about one egg per second
today...
That's a lot of money.
That’s something like $300 for 10 minuets

Good question. I bet there's decent money to be made in prompt engineering.
But what if it generates something for you and it’s not good, do you get a few retries?
