> Recently, Uber's chief exec claimed there was no link between AI 'tokenmaxxing' and shipping useful products. It's a phenomenon perhaps most keenly reported at Amazon (which some X users have speculated may be the mystery company in question), where employees are said to have been caught inflating AI token consumption to meet internal targets.
So it's Amazon?
