All these things are sort of irrelevant amounts of tokens. Even if the answers are worthless.
Like in my experience the real burn is if there is some sort of feedback edge where an agent is producing stuff that eventually it has to reconsume.
Like if there is a dag of agents doing something its almost fine.
But if there is a loop somewhere without a huge amount of damping then you have an issue.
If you have ever been a human debugging in the middle of an agent it produces like so many commands and tests for you to do. Like way more than a human would.
I'm pretty sure they do the same thing to each other. Like the loop will amplify the yapping.
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.
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...
