Spoken like someone who doesn't have their company measuring their AI usage and regularly laying people off.

And speak of the devil. Apparently the next round of layoffs had already started when I posted this, unbeknownst to me.
Need to be in the top 5% of AI users while staying in your budget of $50/month!
If you can't figure out how to game this, you're both not thinking hard and not using AI effectively.
That sucks, but honestly I’d get out of there as fast as possible. Life is too short to live under unfulfilling work conditions for any extended amount of time.
It's not hard to burn tokens on random bullshit (see moltbook). If you really can deliver results at full speed without AI, it shouldn't be hard to keep cover.
I have a Claude code set up in a folder with instructions on how to access iMessage. Ask it questions like “What did my wife say I should do next Friday?”
Reads the SQLite db and shit. So burn your tokens on that.
