“You can spend your scrip at the company store.”
You burn 16 tokens and what do you get?
Another day older and deeper in debt.

OpenAI exec highlights the rising importance of AI compute in tech job compensation.
In other news, Roblox executive thinks that having companies pay employees partly in Robux would be a great idea.
Yeah, I make 100,000 robux per year, get in bitchesRobux and pedophile-bucks.
It’s a really dumb way to frame what the OpenAI people actually said on this - they are saying that the people applying to them want to know how many tokens they can use as a tool to accomplish the job they are applying for. There’s a fundamental difference to compensation here to compensation, where tokens as compensation would be how many tokens the people applying for the job would be able to utilize for their own purposes, whatever they may be.
To illustrate - I would probably be reluctant to work for a company which would not be willing to spend the amount of money that would get me a more or less top of the line computer with which to perform my job. Not because I consider my company-provided development machine as a part of my compensation - it is merely a tool I use for my job.
The people applying for these jobs are the kinds of people who think that burning an exorbitant amount of tokens will make them quite significantly more productive, so the metaphor of having the best tools available to accomplish the task at hand extends here, in accordance with their belief system.
There’s then the quote from the VC ghouls, but I don’t think anyone could accuse them of being competent to any significant degree, so their quotes are most appropriately used as toilet paper.
God this timeline is so fucking dumb
It’s malicious, not dumb. The dumb is a side effect.
Construction companies should pay bricklayers in bricks and mortar
Uber should pay drivers in gas
Restaurants should pay chefs in raw ingredients
This is a radical idea, but maybe employers should be responsible for providing the supplies and tools their employees need to do their jobs? And the employees can just get money in return for their labor?
ceos get paid in empty promises and bad decisions?
Are arse reamings something they buy and sell, or a form of currency for ceo’s? What about female CEOs? (not that its a huge problem-- maybe those few old-guard female ceos just pay you in money).
tbh, i always wondered by contruction industry types werent also paid in housing. like build X highrises you get a unit in one of said highrises
I can’t wait till these companies start falling over so I can stop hearing about their ridiculous shit

If you have a 401k, selling “Large-Cap” indexes or “Full market” indexes can help. (and buying something else, don’t leave it uninvested, obviously).
What’s the expression? Markets can stay irrational longer than you can remain sane… or something like that.
Yeah man, we’re going to have AI everything, we’ll all exist in a metaverse, and everything will be run from tablet computers that we can access from our car as it drives us to and from work, where we will work way fewer hours. Employees will still have to physically show up to work I’m afraid.
Silicon Valley is buzzing about this new idea: Slavery
FIFY
Maybe instead of food we can be paid in ozempic (to reduce appetite) and a very very tiny amount of food. all humanity would become very skinny, and then theres less health care costs due to obesity.
I should really be in charge here.
So that is why people think Grey aliens are just future humans! They took too much Ozempic and now they need to harvest genes from us to fix their own DNA.
Corporate owned media promoting a story about making you rely on tokens to outwork your coworkers so you don’t lose your job is the dumbest shit I’ve ever read.
They are going full panic mode now. The crash has already begun.
Trump bombed the bubble.
Now, some tech job candidates have begun asking about what AI compute budget they will have access to if they decide to join. “I am increasingly asked during candidate interviews how much dedicated inference compute they will have to build with Codex,” Thibault Sottiaux, engineering lead at OpenAI’s Codex, the startup’s AI coding service, wrote on X recently.
Big fucking bullshit. No one ever ask for “AI compute budget”, people wants money. Not your coffee, not your foosball game, money.
Guess what you can buy with money? Yeah, that compute time, if desired.
What a fucking load of bullshit.
Don’t pay people enough money, expect them to buy your products with their non existent money.
They are talking about like internal quotas I believe? Like my friends company is limited to 1000 in spend per month while I have no cap and will blow through 2k in a week if I’m working long hours.
Awesome! Now they can lose money and get wrong answers at the same time!
Fuck sake, dont you all get it. The point in this kind of AI is massive data harvesting and tie it all together.
It wont go away, because that would mean you’ll get some privacy back. You wont.
Oh my god Iran. Just send the drones already
How about compensation for making all hardware so expensive? How about compensation to artists for violating their work to train your precious models? How about compensation for the CO2 that they are spewing into to atmosphere?
Hey. AI. Go to the store and buy me food.
Hmmm. Doesn’t work.
