500B Luna-equivalent tokens, just for a little fun experiment, which they'll never be able to share widely for very obvious trademark reasons. Even if they could share, not sure exactly what the point would be.

Side projects can be cool and fun even if they have no points to them. Sometimes it's even better when there is no point.

But 500B Luna tokens, that's about 15 SF -> London round trips, or the average CO2 equivalent emissions of an american for about 15 months, based on napkin maths assuming average US energy mix to power the DCs.

Was it really worth it? Should we all start burping 18 tons of CO2 just because we came up with a fun little prompt idea? Should a side project really pollute as much as your neighbor's entire life for more than a year?

I know worrying about climate change is not trendy anymore but there as to be a limit to the amount of not-caring one can have, surely?

Congrats, i guess.
