Tokenmaxxing.

[pikhq@social.treehouse.systems]

@GossiTheDog truly someone has forgotten that what you get is what you measure -- i'd be willing to bet it is easy as fuck to maximize your token use if you don't give a shit about anything else

@GossiTheDog subtext: "please spend $250kpa on this stuff, we are absolutely drowning"

@gunchleoc @GossiTheDog a true 10x engineer solution

@Taco_lad @GossiTheDog oh he's thinking, about ways to sell more GPUs without just telling people "buy a GPU from me"

Multiply your impact and cube your attack surface.

@GossiTheDog Have we talked to the CEO of peanut butter yet?

"Yes every person should likely eat 5kgs of peanut butter every day"

[johnofrobotz@mastodon.girolab.foo]

@GossiTheDog wait, wait...I got lost when he said "a $500,000 engineer".

[dukeduke@mastodon.social]

@GossiTheDog JFC. Is he ‍, or just 🥴?

[jackemled@furry.engineer]

@GossiTheDog So they really just want people to stop working?

[idlebrain@infosec.exchange]

@GossiTheDog these techbros have gone round the bend, lost the plot, and fallen of their rockers, all at the same time...

Absolute jibbering insanity.

@GossiTheDo "What if we could take assuming that people with bigger fiefdoms are more important and apply it to the ones who don't even have direct reports?"

Someone may have been in management a little too long.

[lackthereof@beige.party]

@GossiTheDog
Who are these $500,000 engineers?

[cotopaxi@mstdn.social]

@GossiTheDog
Tell me you have no clue what your employees need to do their jobs (or what their jobs are) without....

[cataclock@wetdry.world]

@GossiTheDog This is the most wild manosphere-to-techbro sentence I ever heard. Idiotic to idiotic ideology.
I guess stupid ideas translate well?

@technically_good @GossiTheDog if you're not eating 5% of your body weight in peanuts every day, and aiming to weigh 200KG by 2028, you're not nutmaxxing, you're nutlosing

[tricethetraveller@hachyderm.io]

@GossiTheDog 500,000? I need a raise

The Information’s Laura Bratton also reported last week that Uber had managed to blow through its entire AI budget for the year a few months into 2026:

Uber’s surging use of AI coding tools, particularly Anthropic’s Claude Code, has maxed out its full year AI budget just a few months into 2026, according to chief technology officer Praveen Neppalli Naga.

“I'm back to the drawing board because the budget I thought I would need is blown away already,” Neppalli Naga said in an interview.
