He probably wasted tens of k tokens looking to configure his environment. And this was one person that I saw. The value, the business value of this gen AI session ? Zero. Nil. Nada.

So the question is how to evaluate this enormous waste of compute ...

Ars Technica: Unlimited AI tokens aren’t unlimited after all as US Army burns through supply. “A little over a month after the Department of Defense (DOD) bragged that nearly half of its 3.5 million employees were using AI at work, members of the Army’s Combat Capabilities Development Command (DEVCOM) received an email informing them that they were burning through tokens, and needed to […]

Gizmodo: The Token Belt-Tightening Is Coming for PDFs. “Many large companies have pushed employees to use AI for nearly everything, partly to justify the enormous sums they poured into the technology without any clear integration strategy.

"Chinese models are 10x to 30x cheaper than U.S. models. We’re already seeing evidence of this: Chinese models went from about 1% of developer usage in 2024 to more than 60% in May, and 80% of U.S. AI startups are now using Chinese open-source AI models." https://www.profgmedia.com/p/is-ai-more-expensive-than-the-employees #AI #AIAdoption #OpenAI #Altman #AITokens #DeepSeek #AIInvestment #AIBuildout #LLMs #Capital #Investment #StartUps #FrontierModels #ProfGMedia #Budgets #Gartner #HypeCycle

Business Insider: Sam Altman says OpenAI’s top token spender uses 100 billion tokens a month — and they’re not even the world leader. “OpenAI’s employees are spending tokens on tokens on tokens. And yet it’s someone outside the company who is spending the most. The AI lab’s employees are known for their high AI spending. Peter Steinberger, the creator of OpenClaw, once spent $1.3 million […]

New York Times: More! More! More! Tech Workers Max Out Their A.I. Use. This link goes to a gift article. “A.I. was supposed to help tech companies boost productivity and cut costs. But it has also created an expensive new status game, known as ‘tokenmaxxing,’ among A.I.-obsessed workers who are desperate to prove how productive they are.” Gross!

#Nvidia CEO #JensenHuang proposes a new #compensation model where #engineers receive a budget of #AItokens in addition to their salary. This model incentivises engineers to utilise #AIagents to boost #productivity.
