2 months ago: no limits. 1 month ago we had a leaderboard for whoever had the highest token spend not taking into account what was actually produced. This week: “everyone is using opus too much, just use it for planning.”
i've worked at so many places where the propaganda/marketing and reality on the ground is so disorienting/shocking i don't really expect this to be any different...
since those headlines started ive felt it just encouraged inefficiency. "say as much as you can without saying anything." if you were accomplishing your task the need for more would end, thus there is incentive to never succeed.
