Once something is a key performance indicator it ceases to be an indicator and becomes a goal.

If someone was going to reward me for burning a lot of tokens, I’d feed LLM output into the LLM input until they ran out of rewards.

I mean, what do you expect them to do? Shit’s hard, nobody has any savings. I sure as shit wouldn’t want to lose my job just because management gives everyone some new bullshit metric to be aware of, especially if it can be made a non-issue.

Stupid (leadership) is as stupid does.

Bad leaders beget bad subordinates

Sounds like defrauding stockholders…
