Dayum. If I was given unlimited budget for AI I would do the same. Everyone should have a set personal budget for AI expense and they can keep it if they don't use AI.
Tokenmaxing
If I'm going to get a $20,000 bonus at the end of the year if I don't use any AI, I'm not going to use AI.
That's a big problem with this tech... how do you price it? I think companies would purchase an allotment of tokens that can be used or banked by employees. Problem is they'd always be cutting the token budget.
Where I work I have to have a meeting and justify a $100 license for software. So I don't know how this will work long term.
