Tokenmaxxing was the management buying the marketing that AGI was here and if employees would only use AI they would herald their own replacement?

If that were true then management could've spent some time coming up with better metrics than "tokens burned". They could just halve deadlines for every project, as an extreme example.

I thought tokenmaxxing was their proxy for this: more tokens burnt = more productivity = more projects completed.
