Son: Dad, How much is 10 Sextillion? What is an example of this amount?
Dad: Well son, that’s how many Tokens the large language models will have to process per year just to have a reasonable ROI for $7 Trillion in Investment (thru 2029). That would be 249 Quadrillion laps around the earth.
Son: That sounds like a lot. Do you think it will happen?
Dad: It’s about as likely as our Cincinnati Reds winning the World Series and me marrying Jennifer Aniston on the same day.
Later that day…
Son: Dad what if you created a killer Use Case that business can use to “increase efficiency” or grow the top line?
Dad: Fair point. That will generate significant token usage.
Son: That’s good, right?
Dad: Well, have you ever seen the look on a CFO’s face when they see their Cloud and LLM bill after the team starts using an LLM extensively in their job?
