    You forward 16 prompts, what do you get?
    Another day older, and deeper in debt.

    Ok, so correct me if I’m wrong, but usually the reason you do this is because the cost to produce this benefit is lower than the price you usually sell it for, so you can inflate the claimed value of the benefit, both to appeal to candidates and to write it off on your taxes. But at the moment tokens are usually sold way below cost (i.e. the companies are not profitable), so why the fuck would any company do this? Are they this short on cash now?

      They set money on fire at incredible rates, they are definitely seeking any cash they can.

      Also investors HATE payroll expenses. Loathe.

    Why doesn’t he get paid on AI tokens, he should donate his stock to whatever charity and only get AI tokens as further compensation!

    Sammy gets moist thinking about assholes getting paid in tokens they can convert to crypto to pay for ChatGPT.
