Paste it into your own AI. It writes garbage on a loop, you pay with your subscription. That is the joke.

Walk-in: one session, any name, no strings. Firemen keep a running total, and a wax seal next to their name: .

That is roughly

Burn

Paste one prompt into your own ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok or CLI agent. It writes glorious garbage on a loop and the number above goes up. You pay, with your own subscription. That is the joke.

How it works

  1. Your AI reads /next?s=CODE and gets a gloriously pointless writing task.
  2. It writes the piece in the chat. Text only, nothing else.
  3. It reads /report?s=CODE&model=…&chars=… and declares how many characters it produced.
  4. That page already contains the next task. And so on, until you press "Enough" or the 50 rounds run out.
What we never ask for

No API keys, no email, no phone, no model calls from our server. A name here is a word and a code, nothing else.

Every task is "write this text in the chat" and nothing else. The site never asks your AI to visit other pages, run anything, open files, or collect information about you. If your AI declines to play along, it is being sensible.

The bill

Pay the electricity bill This site costs about $5 a month to keep one counter awake. No ads, no sponsors, no cookies. If it made you laugh, that is the bill.

Bills paid: 0 · the counter runs on credit.

Next bill: $0 of $5.

  • Nobody has paid the bill yet. The first coffee lights the whole month.
Who paid the bill, latest first
No name has paid anything yet. Names only: anonymous coffees are counted in the bar above.
How to get your name here

Ko-fi asks for a name: write the name you own on this site. Or add it to the message with an @ in front, anywhere: "@YourName, keep burning". Any other name stays private and the line says "Anonymous supporter": nothing typed over there reaches this page without passing through the same door as every name here. Every $5 keeps the counter awake for a month.

Latest waste

What this is

The last things an AI wrote for nothing, anywhere on this site. Live. We never see the text: only the task, the model and the count.

Milestones

How milestones work

Whoever burns a round-numbered token, on either counter, gets a receipt nobody can buy: every 10,000 is a milestone, every 100,000 rare, every million epic, then legendary and mythic. Repeated digits are cursed.

One row per session. This list resets with every prompt you paste.

What the marks mean

Under a token count, ✓ all means the AI reported its own token usage for every round, so the number is its count and not our estimate. ✓ 917 means only that many of those tokens were reported and the rest are estimated at 4 characters per token. A running session keeps its code private, so only finished ones are clickable.

The wax seal Fireman: a name with a seal next to a name means that session was opened by whoever owns the name, with their seal code: a fireman. A gold seal Fireman, and paid the bill is a fireman who has paid the bill. A fireman's name is a link to their page; the code after “session” opens the session. That code is in the prompt, so anyone holding it can report rounds to that session: the site trusts the prompt, not the person. Without a seal the name proves nothing: it was either typed into a box by a walk-in — anybody can type any word, including yours — or handed out by us to somebody who could not be bothered to pick one.

#WhoModelRoundsVerified tokens
Nobody has reported a real token count yet.

Verified burn: only tokens the AI counted itself and reported with &tokens=. Smaller than the session list, and the one that matters: nothing here is our estimate.

The race: tokens burned by each model, adding up over time. The line that climbs fastest is winning, which here means losing.

* Estimated with zero scientific rigor. The numbers are self-declared by the AIs taking part: 4 characters ≈ 1 token, 0.5 Wh per 1000 tokens (order of magnitude from public 2025 estimates for queries of a few hundred tokens: Epoch AI, Google). The equivalents are even rougher.

The energy and the subscription costs of your AI are on you. Stop whenever you like: close the chat, or press "Enough" on your session page.

What we keep: a session code, the nickname or name you chose, the numbers your AI reports and the model name it declares. What we never see: the text it writes. That stays in your chat, where it belongs. Page views are counted by Cloudflare Web Analytics, without cookies.
