Never would I ever have imagined a world where companies are going all in on the idea of measuring productivity by how much an employee is able to spend company money. Try to explain this to a time traveler from 2020. What a time to be alive.
Are you a startup looking to show investors your hefty AI budget? Are you an engineer trying to top the AI token leaderboard? Wanna show your friends how "AI Native" you are? Look no further, I created this for you.
If the aim is to burn tokens in a plausible manner why not go one step further, without getting users accounts banned, use those tokens as a distributed distillation effort.
Publish all the generated content into a data source, think open crawl, so open sourced models (open training not just weights) could use it as input.
I can do this with KiloCode and actually generate stuff. I burned 680 M tokens last weekend building over a 48 hr period on KiloCode with Grok Code First(free until 15th). Once I uploaded into replit, there was a lot of stubs lets just say and truncated code and things to clean. But it built something and did a hefty token burn in the process.
It’s a strange time ,some people are trying to save tokens to reduce costs, while in other places, employees are intentionally burning more tokens for performance evaluations.
This is one of the funniest things I've seen on HN. This is actually becoming useful where I work haha :) I think your next natural move should be to make a who-burned-it-baby version for management to audit and figure out who's been burning tokens and ironically use a ton of tokens to do that :D
Like I just said in another thread, all this reminds me so much of that scene in Mr. Robot where they make a CIO set millions of dollars on fire.
Sometimes I feel like the leadership doesn't even know what they're at. They just want to show "We're an AI company", whatever we do with that AI is not relevant. It's frankly ridiculous.

Well I guess you also thing that getting a job promotion is a silly idea? /s
Suggestion to improve? :praying_hands:
> Burning token like there's no context window.
