AI Token Maxxing Failed at Uber - OpenAI is Dead

They would spend money on these kind of blackholes, but never pay employees what they deserve

The more token you burn, the more money you save! — Jensen Huang

"Show me the incentive and I'll show you the outcome." - Charlie Munger

Executives: "We want you to burn as many tokens as possible." Employees: _burning as many tokens as possible_ Executives: _shocked Pikachu face_

They want a “do-everything” tool that is also the best at everything, and every time they find a better tool, they slowly find out that it’s only good at certain things.

"tokenmaxxing" sounds like the company is on the last straw with these LLM providers and wants to push it to the maximum usage to see the full capabilities of the product before they make the final decision on whether they want to toss it or not.

The executives that know what they're doing is a tiny minority. The psychopathic MBA's running today's businesses would bankrupt a lemonade stand.

Token maxing is the dumbest thing ever. It’s like a competition who could spend the most money to try to do their job rather than getting the most out of your work with least amount of money.

This is the biggest misallocation of capital I’ve seen ever. Even tulips don’t compare. At least they’re nice to look at.

The most unusual thing about this news is that an executive actually talked to engineering. At my company, they're in full on AI psychosis and are making extremely dangerous decisions (and public promises) without ever consulting us.
