Don’t be a meat proxy for an LLM
I’m very glad someone has put a name to this behaviour. I sometimes do it on my blog because user-model interaction is often part of how I think, but I don’t think I ever do this in communication with others for precisely this reason:
Too often I ask a question in Slack or leave feedback under a merge/pull request or argue with friends in a WhatsApp group and get back:
Claude said: [giant response verbatim]
Please don’t do this. I mean, I’ve done this. But I’ve been on the receiving end too many times now. This is not adding value. I can talk to Claude myself. It’s going to be faster and I get to control the context. I don’t need a meat proxy in between.
Reading AI output is extra effort. It’s verbose, frequently contains all too plausible nonsense, and is increasingly jargon dense. I recently got this sentence from Claude:
NATS control-plane events: stream leader election / R3 quorum re-form during pod churn.
Jesus. I had to lookup almost every word to make sense of this.
By all means, prompt AI. But don’t just relay the output. Read it, understand it, validate it, and then write a response in your own words (a decent certificate that you’ve done the prior steps). Making that effort is value you can add.

Will economic constraints on token use in organisations drive the emergence of norms?
I’ve been following the token maxxing discourse with interest. Essentially we’ve seen a tendency to equate quantity of tokens used with the extent of AI integration. It’s hard to measure integration so organisations have turned to the proxy of tokens, assuming that the more tokens you are using then the more you are integrating LLMs into your work. The problem with this is two fold:
- At present tokens are essentially being subsidised by investors in AI labs interested in maximising adoption of the products. The costs of token to the lab are either minimised for the end user or entirely removed from the equation with unmetered access.
- The assumption that more use = better is obviously untenable with even a rudimentary knowledge of the ethical and epistemological risks of language models. Further, more use of LLMs might be worse for the organisation because it hinders other forms of work which are essential to the organisation’s mission.
There is a significant shift underway which is going to change how LLMs are used within organisation, summarised here by 404 media:
The news highlights a major shift in the tech industry and other companies that use AI: the wave of uninhibited AI growth is over. Some AI providers like GitHub are now charging customers per token rather than a flat subscription fee, leading some companies to burn through their tokens. Uber recently capped employees’ use of AI tools like Claude Code and Cursor; that came after Uber told employees to use AI as much as possible and Uber’s CTO said the company had blown its entire AI budget in four months. And Accenture itself reportedly started requiring senior staff to start using AI or risk losing out on promotions.
I was wrong to believe that model development was flatlining. A week with Claude Fable, the continual development of Claude Opus and my begrudging appreciation of GPT 5.5 leave me persuaded we’ve come along way since GPT 5. However even if the models are getting more capable, to what extent are those capabilities becoming more expensive? I managed to burn through £100+ in five days playing with Claude Fable and I constantly have Opus switched to max now, even when I vaguely know it’s wasteful. There’s a whole style of use which has taken hold here which isn’t sustainable and is increasingly hitting a brick wall.
For individuals it raises the question of what you’re willing to pay for. I switch to Max plans when I have a special reason to do so but I never keep the subscription any more. I hit the rate limits with Claude so frequently that it’s left me thinking more carefully about what I do want to use models for and what I don’t want to use models for. The same process is inevitably going to take place in organisations I think in the sense of resource constraints necessitating evaluative criteria for desirable and undesirable use of the model. .

The first AI ‘law firm’ in the UK
HT Bruce Humphrey. What could go wrong? 😑
Garfield.Law offers small and medium sized businesses, as well as law and other firms, the use of an AI-powered litigation assistant to help them recover unpaid debts, guiding them through the small claims court process up to trial.
We are encouraging the development of new approaches and models due to the potential consumer benefits. AI-driven legal services could deliver better, quicker and more affordable legal services. There are, however, potential risks to the public, so we have been making sure there are appropriate checks in place to make sure that consumer protections are not diluted.
Before authorising Garfield.Law, we engaged with the owners to consider the firm’s processes and assure ourselves that our rules can be met by an AI service. For instance, we have sought reassurance that there are appropriate processes in place to quality-check work, keep client information confidential, and safeguard against conflicts of interests.
We have also checked the firm is managing the risk of ‘AI hallucinations.’ The system will not be able to propose relevant case law, which is a high-risk area for large language model machine learning.

« Le système capitaliste est devenu globalement assez idiot, et cynique. Les entreprises, qui font de leur croissance l’alpha et l’oméga, sont presque toutes atteintes d’obésité morbide. Plus personne ne comprend ce qui s’y passe, leurs dirigeants encore moins. Quant aux cabinets de conseil, ils sont atteints de la même maladie. »
« Au global, le monde du conseil est incapable d’envisager des modèles différents sans les traiter avec arrogance ».

Last night it occurred to me I knew what productivity means more then our government, the business council and every #CEO in Australia.
If you go into any restaurant or cafe they also know what productivity means.
Every small business owner, the real ones not the pretend one that the federal gov touts, intuitively knows what productivity means.
The #government and large #organisations understand graft and greed but they have no idea what productivity is.
The first thing about #productivity is you haven’t got a steamlined perfect system using humans no computer is going to improve it.
