  You code 16 lines, what do you get?

  Another day older and deeper in debt

  I didn’t read it that way. I think he’s saying “bosses: if you’re paying a $100k salary to a dev and not also paying $50k for tokens, your dev isn’t working hard enough”.

    Which is still utterly absurd, because it implies that a harder working dev would be spending more time chatting to a bot.

      oh absolutely, but generating tokens is how nvidia gets paid, and companies are terrified of being left behind if they’re not 100% onboard with LLM workflows

      This is clearly a situation where you are expected to spend 100% of a budget to keep your job.

  That is not at all what the article says. It’s way more self serving than that.

  It seems that the Nvidia CEO isn’t the only one investing in AI tokens for his employees to freely use

  AFAIK, Nvidia employees aren’t paying for the tokens they use out of their own pockets, although it’s certainly beneficial to Nvidia in multiple ways if their own employees are making heavy use of AI.
