"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"

A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.

AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

Because nothing gets you promoted faster than a six-figure token bill

A bash one-liner that burns Claude Code or Codex tokens on purpose.

Your example isn't even far fetched. A friend of mine who worked in construction knew a crew of framers whose employer paid them based on the number of nails they used. Of course, they did exactly what their dumb employer should have expected them to do: Use way more nails than needed. Any place a nail would fit, they added one. He said listening to the crew work was literally a non-stop rapid fire thunk thunk thunk thunk as at least one of them was busy emptying his nailgun into the work at any given time. No idea how they stayed in business, but people giving dumb incentives is nothing new.
