Token maxing really is a thing if your token budget is unconstrained.

No, because not all work is productive

  • Tokenmaxxing doesn't say anything about productivity. It's only about using as many tokens as possible; there's nothing about using them usefully.

    • no joke when we were trying test and baseline token use they had us do anything w/ the AI.

      ask it for recipes, weather, directions, explain baroque art, etc.

      arguably still a common use case...

  • If you can use as many as you want but only 1% productively, thats still potentially infinite productivity. Of course, the efficiency is not that great, but more tokens = more productive work. This is only a thing if your token budget is unconstrained, which isn’t sustainable and never lasts.
