Amazon has told employees that the AI token statistics would not be used in performance evaluations. But several staff members said they believed managers were monitoring the data.

Misread this as "tokemaxing." And if you've ever had to work at a warehouse... yeah.

Why not both! The more tokens you can convince the AI to spend time thinking about and spitting out, the longer you have for a toke break.
