"I suspect author somehow financially benefits from tokenmaxxing"

Yes, because they are selling AI services. The article is an ad.

If you see an orthopedic surgeon (the much more common name for this type of doctor in the US) about almost anything you will almost certainly end up with an MRI (good chance your insurance won't cover this fully) and some kind of recommended intervention.

Did you read the article?

"Most teams haven’t yet figured out how to build their own Ramp Inspect or Stripe Minions (if that’s you, reach out — we can help!) but basically everyone is at least using cursor in the side bar."

I doubt the author of the article even believes it. The article is an ad for their services which just happen to be "helping" companies use AI.

This is little more than an ad for their services.

It's pretty disappointing that people on this site of all places have no idea what CEOs do. Many of them are certainly overpaid, and like any other profession, many are not good at their jobs, but they aren't sitting around drafting memos and coming up with deciding who to fire all day.

Meanwhile most of the software I use seems to become less reliable every month.

But think of the profits for the AI companies!

This is probably because the people who feel like they receive the most benefit from LLMs never actually knew much about or were just incapable of writing good software before they started using LLMs.

Receiving an absolute dung pile of half-broken implementation is honestly what I expect from most working software engineers. Now the step where they spend even a second thinking about what they are doing has been removed. My job as a principle engineer became doing most of the thinking for people and then providing the only worthwhile code reviews before LLMs became a thing. LLMs just made these people even less useful and my job became even more about reviewing their low quality work that I could have done in less time manually.

LLMs also don't solve the much bigger problem of most software engineers having no ability to work with others to clarify requests or offer alternatives. So now bad and/or misunderstood requests can be implemented faster.

This administration has already proven that they don't care about the law and see anything they do as lawful.

Why not ask your LLM?

Not trying to defend these assholes, but the author of Meditations was not exactly a good guy.

I was recently considering what these people would do to us if they found a valuable use for part of our bodies. The Matrix was brought up by someone in response.

Human beings are nothing but their economic output to Sam Altman.

Did they not realize that it is already a mass surveillance network?

The interesting thing to me about this example is that it had to be someone lower level in or near the administration with less wealth, but who knew about a military operation. Hard to imagine any of the rich people around him risking a bet for such a small sum.

It's really just people in the suburbs and smaller cities. Doing things alone is completely normal in a city like Chicago or NY.

Go to a major city. There are tons of people doing things alone, including sitting in a cafe.

Are the people who are really into "AI" even buying books anymore?
