use their cheapest plan, burn their tokens, burn the hole in their budget. could backfire though as then "clever analysts" will claim that demand is up and eager bankers will shell out more cash

Why burn tokens when datacenters are much more flammable

[–] boonhet@sopuli.xyz 1 points 3 hours ago

The most expensive plan gets you more tokens per unit of currency actually (10x cost for 20x usage), but it's pretty expensive and there's not actual guarantee that they're still losing money on your subscription in 2026 and as you pointed out, being able to show demand and MRR will get them more loans.

Or educate the people around you that "AI" is not the magical fairy dust machine that can do anything imaginable. Might be better than giving them any money at all.
