I'm so happy that Developers at Spotify don't need to read the code anymore or even need to look their product.
But cool that they released their vibe coding platform for their 1.3k engineers to pursue their productivity fantasies.

It never fails to amaze me how trends like #tokenmaxxing (which is code for “spend as much money as quickly as you can”) are embraced by people who should know better.
Luckily, more measured approaches seem to prevail by now.

"Microsoft has introduced new limits to how much its engineers can spend on AI tools at work and told employees that maximizing AI use internally is not the company’s goal.
This makes Microsoft one of the last major companies to rein in its employees’ expensive AI use. Scaling back maximalist AI use, or what some companies have called “tokenmaxxing,” is a trend we’ve covered in recent months as the price for using AI has increased while not always delivering commensurate productivity gains.
“As we accelerate our use of GitHub Copilot to deliver on our goals, we all need to be aware of how we consume tokens,” Jay Parikh, an executive vice president at Microsoft said in an email to Microsoft employees. GitHub is owned by Microsoft, and GitHub Copilot is an AI coding tool. “Tokenmaxxing is not what we are optimizing for. I want all of us focused on maximizing outcomes that move the needle for our customers and our business.”
“As such, we are updating our internal guidance and managing token spend with the same discipline we apply to every other critical resource,” Parikh said in the email."

Corporate #America Has Suddenly Decided to Stop Blowing Money on #AI
Companies big and small are mixing models and it’s changing the economics
Being economical—or #tokenomical—is a dramatic reversal in mindset. Just a few months ago, it was a badge of honor to be using AI so much that you spent a lot on tokens. Companies rewarded employees for #tokenmaxxing, flashing leaderboards that showed who had spent the most. Now they are #thriftmaxxing.

I guess - people should use #AI with some context, understanding and use them not as an alternative to human workers, but as a tool, when given to capable humans who make right choices, increases the productivity and profit of the institutions.
So, this is the first post with the tag : #wtfAI
Need your genuine opinion on what you people think about AI. I just need to know about it's impact and popularity in current #society.
1) Is AI actually necessary for humans? We were already good before AI? Is it?
2) AI should be controlled and be put to use for only authorised people - because anyone with a bad intent can do some #TokenMaxxing - AI used as service for cyberattacks.
3) Other unanswered questions that you might have. (Like AI in #biotechnology)
This is just for gathering opinions.

@carnage4life Is #TokenMaxxing the reason #LowTPete #Hegseth came to #Congress begging for $37 billion after getting an almost $1 trillion #Pentagon budget? 🤔

"AI was supposed to replace human labor.
It did the opposite.
For the first time in history, humans are cheaper than software."

Palantir и голые токены: как продать «суверенный ИИ» людям, которые не любят терять контроль
Palantir выложил в X пост , который журналисты быстро стали называть «манифестом». Формально это «The Technological Republic, in brief» — промо-выжимка из книги Алекса Карпа и Николаса Замиски The Technological Republic . Если перевести с языка подрядчика для армии, разведки и крупного бизнеса на обычный русский: не отдавайте свои данные поставщикам больших языковых моделей, не считайте внедрение ИИ по расходу токенов, держите у себя модели, следы работы системы и результаты дообучения. Но важно, кто именно это говорит . Palantir вырос не из кружка любителей открытого ПО - компания продаёт софт для соединения данных, прав доступа, предметных моделей и действий оператора; сама она описывает свой рынок как решения «from the factory floors to the front lines». По годовому отчёту за 2025 год, 54% выручки Palantir пришло от государственных заказчиков, 46% — от коммерческих. Это не декоративный раздел "прочие красивые кейсы", а почти половина бизнеса. Поэтому, когда такая компания заводит речь про «экономию на токенах», речь не о бережливости. Речь о новом слое контроля: где живут данные, кто управляет моделью, кто видит запросы, кто получает следы работы системы и кто потом становится обязательной частью всей этой конструкции. Игра по-крупному

WTF?! 4,500 production deploys a day? Every day? To what end? Is that the 'loop engineering' all those people are talking about? That is a bats*it crazy way to develop software. But OK, #Anthropic gets money for the used tokens. Good for them. #tokenmaxxing is pure nonsense.
