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.

Think like a manager:

• Offer employees an AI token budget that’s use or lose. Don’t make any promises on reimbursement and stay vague about how high users can obtain more tokens. You don’t want wasted token usage. More on that later
• Increase workloads/KPI/widget production quota by how much change you can find around some vending machines. Sneak in monitoring of employee user behavior and interactions with systems and programs if you don’t already have something in place
• Link AI assistance to the higher requirements by saying things like “We’re investing in our workforce by providing productivity tools”
• Fire those at/below new requirements while praising those who are left behind
• Throw a pizza party and pocket some of the savings from firing a third of your team. Invest in a mini fridge for the top performer.
• Train new AI on the user behavior analytics you’ve been secretly been collecting and use it to replace the next lower performing third of the team. Keep on the higher performers and give them a small raise so they speak positively about the company and so you have somebody to fix the inevitable problems
• Profit
