Hesamation quotes Jensen Huang's claim that he'd be "deeply alarmed" if a $500,000 engineer didn't consume at least $250,000 worth of tokens. The post jokes about Apple engineers surviving on a $200/day token budget and declares the "tokenmaxxing" fever dream over — a wink at the industry narrative that more token burn equals more value.
