    Oh this will be a fun. “Please spend more of our company money, or else we will think you are not doing your job”

    it’s so fucking easy to send bogus requests that use tons of processing time. This is the DUMBEST metric i’ve seen in a long, long time. If an employee of theirs uses 500k worth of processing time now, are they better employees? What if someone manages to spend 10 million worth of tokens? 100 million? Performance metrics should be outcome based instead of “how much money did you spend” lol

        I’d be amazed if they internally do not have objectives to implement the kool aid.

        But yeah, of course it’s propaganda. If this bite lands in the right ear of an exec, they can implement this as a metric in their review process.

      Kinda similar to musks LOC requirement. But at least with NVIDIA this idea directly correlates with more business if it spreads beyond the company
