@mhoye Wtf. These are just tools for their day jobs, not compensation.

@mayintoronto Great news, our company won't be charging you when you use the washroom in the office anymore, you can use the washrooms for free, we're calling it our Whole Body Compensation Strategy.
You'll still need to badge in to the washroom though, we aren't turning that off.

@mhoye I mean.... in the 1960s my father worked for the British National Coal Board and part of his compensation was coal we used to heat our house.
Can AI workers somehow burn compute tokens to keep warm in winter?

@Plumbert They are, all the time, with much the same effect.

@mhoye @mayintoronto we also have low low rents for employees that sleep at their desk after a long and late day of coding.
By paying you in compute tokens, you can spend those in our company cafeteria. 10000 tokens for a bottle of water - no ironic comments please.
If we catch you coding by hand, that's a 10000 token fine.
Thank you for working in our 1800's mining town. That hammer we gave you wore out, you can buy a new one for 10000 tokens.
If you're caught exchanging tokens for hard currency you will be fined 100000 tokens.

You burn 6M tokens, and what do you get / you get another day older and deeper in debt /St Peter don’t you call me cause I can’t go / I owe my soul to anthropic and claude

@mhoye @mayintoronto but we spent years implementing pay-per-plop!

@celeduc @mayintoronto Adding floaters to their sunk cost fallacy, I bet somebody got a bonus for that.

@mhoye the fuck?? They want to pay their engineers in inference tokens now?
