Tech companies like Meta and OpenAI are ranking employees on internal leaderboards measuring how many LLM tokens they consume, with managers rewarding heavy AI tool users and penalising those who do not. One OpenAI engineer reportedly burned through 210 billion tokens. This tokenmaxxing trend ties to AI agents and coding assistants. The practice raises questions about whether high token consumption actually correlates with productive work. https://gizmodo.com/tech-employees-are-reportedly-being-evaluated-by-how-fast-they-burn-through-llm-tokens-2000736627 #AIagent #AI #GenAI #WorkforceDisruption #Meta
