Startups Brag They Spend More Money on AI Than Human Employees:

Startup CEOs who are “tokenmaxxing” are bragging that they are spending more money on AI compute than it would cost to hire human workers. Astronomical AI bills are now, in a certain corner of the tech world, a supposed marker of growth and success.

This is so gross. I can’t wait for the agents at one of these companies to hallucinate an error so consequential it brings their entire business to its knees. Sadly, that’s what it will take to reverse this trend.
