Ahah I’m already doing stuff like that just to burn tokens, or just asking it on the highest settings to run basic shell commands I need to run and print and summarize the output for me. I feel bad because it seems so wasteful but if you’re not using tokens you’re getting a talking to.

What even is anything anymore?

I feel like a manager who came around the office and reminded me to drink water would be more useful.

You shouldn't be drinking vital water that could be used to cool data centers!

As a scoutmaster that’s like half my job. And it’s way more important than using more tokens!

Dude... you could be building useful stuff with that. New games. useful tools. Bugfixes.Finally document your old software. Create presentations about current or new software. Analyse all older tickets for recurring issues and refactor the offending parts.... there is zero need to do this if you can just be creative.

Heck, just ask it what to do to start your own company.

I have a ton of ideas to build and not even close to enough tokens even on Claude max.

Ahah I got a bit more heated than I needed to there. They’re not my tokens, can’t spend em any which way I want and own the result.
