Ugh why does everything need to be “____maxxing”?
At least luddites broke the machines in their protest.
Feeding machines to get a pat on the head from the bosses is seriously fucked.
I guess anyone working for ‘meta’ was already a cunt to start with though.
All this time I assumed destroying the world was just an easily dismissed, unfortunate consequence, turns out it’s their main objective after all.
Most people have learned by now, that “lines of code“ is a terrible metric for evaluating productivity. Why are we doing the exact same thing with AI tokens now?
I’m no developer, just so some casual scripting for my job, but lines of code being a performance metric is a hilarious notion. Like, the indicator of good code is that it’s efficiently written in a small number of lines. It’s similarly just as easy to waste tokens on nothing of value.
Because middle manglement has a constant compulsive need to justify their existence by finding new ways and metrics to “manage”.
Not surprising at all. Every worker everywhere does this if they have some sort of ‘tokens’ they need to consume. Helpdesk ticket count is one pretty common with IT-folks and it’s easy enough to boost if you just write one from every single small thing you’ve done for the day.
None of these obviously are beneficial for the actual work getting done, but as the game is ‘make KPI numbers look good’ then that’s exactly what gets done.
AI going from ‘It’ll make everything so much more efficient!’ to deliberately doing everything as inneficiently as possible is just… idk beyond even satire at this point.
Desperate corpos do desperate things
Am doing something related at work as we got the directive to actively use AI, so I might as well use the best model available, which happens to be very expensive. It’s also not so smart for our work so I have to kick it multiple times… What can I do, it’s part of my performance objectives now.

maxxing
It’s ‘maxing’. It’s like ‘faxing’, ‘taxing’, or ‘relaxing’. Here’s your tree.
He was just x-maxxxing.
Someone isn‘t relax maxxing.
They’re not maxing any sense.
