Meta went from ‘tokenmaxxing’ to ‘tokenminimizing’ after internal AI usage costs became astronomical. “The conversation's more about not use more AI, but use it more meaningfully so that it improves outcomes." — Jyoti Mann, Meta Reporter Full story:

. Shyam Sankar has consistently framed AI the right way: not as a story about replacing people, but about amplifying the people closest to the work. The future belongs to organizations that use AI to make frontline workers more effective, not executives more dramatic. Too many CEOs are creating fear. We should be creating capability.

🚨 THE AI COST BUBBLE IS GETTING WORSE. Companies pushed employees to “tokenmaxx” and aggressively use AI tools to boost productivity scores, but agentic AI can consume up to 1,000x more tokens than normal AI queries. Now the same companies that hyped AI cost savings are discovering that heavy AI usage is actually exploding operating costs instead of reducing them.

"Our fans like specific actors. I'm not going to get rid of them," Dhar Mann Studios CEO Sean Atkins tells Max Tani. "But could AI help me, as it does right now, figure out how to use our operational systems more efficiently? Yes ... but we're not really looking at AI as a replacement, cause it gets rid of the human connection that creators really care about."

Meta just became the world's largest ad business. EllioTrades thinks Meta dethroning Google is entirely because of AI slop. "Your ability to make entertaining ads that convert, while targeting people on Facebook with AI slop, is worth way more than targeting people on Google."

I'm pretty judicious about when I use (and more often, choose not to use) AI. Synthesizing answers from the 20,000+ highlights I've accumulated over the past 5 years is one instance where I would absolutely recommend using it:

🇺🇸 ZUCK: META AI IS THE BIGGEST, BEST, IN THE WORLD!! Has anyone ever used it?... “Meta AI now has nearly 600 million monthly actives and as promised is on track to be the most used AI assistant in the world by the end of the year. Llama 3.3 is a new 70 billion parameter text model that performs about as well as our 405 billion parameter model but now it is easier and more efficient to run. So that is the last Lama 3.0 release. The next stop is Lama 4.0.” Source: Instagram

These people who try to talk shit about him and everything else, I'm so blown away and impressed by this guy. He's an animal and putting all the chips in on AI” “We just hired 10 kids that are aged 22 to 28. The average salary is like $65 million that these kids are making that are coming in working on AI. You hear a lot of negativity about AI. There's way more positives about AI than negative”

Meta just launched Incognito Chat with Meta AI - the world's first truly private way to chat with AI. But I had a lot of questions. How does it actually work? Isn't this contradictory to Meta's business model? What assurances do we have that this is airtight? I had a chance to speak to the Head of Whatsapp Will Cathcart and Meta's VP of AI Products Vishal Shah to learn more.

Microsoft just banned its own engineers from using AI. The tool was literally costing MORE than the humans it was supposed to replace. They lied to you about AI adoption and now the whole narrative is blowing up: Microsoft gave thousands of engineers access to Claude Code six months ago and encouraged them to use it. Engineers loved it and adoption exploded. But then the invoices arrived. Token-based pricing means every query, every code review, every debugging session costs money. At scale across 100,000 engineers, the numbers became so large that Microsoft issued an internal order to cancel nearly all Claude Code licenses by end of June and force everyone onto their own cheaper tool instead. The company that invested $5 billion in Anthropic just told its own people to stop using Anthropic's product because it costs too much. Uber's story is even worse... Their CTO Praveen Neppalli Naga told The Information that the budget he planned for the full year was "blown away already" by April. Uber had rolled out Claude Code in December 2025. By March, 84% of their 5,000 engineers were using it with 70% of all committed code coming from AI systems. Heavy users were burning $500 to $2,000 per month each. Naga himself spent $1,200 in a single two-hour demo session. The company had even built internal leaderboards ranking engineers by how much AI they used. They literally gamified the spending and then ran out of money. Now look at what Nvidia's own VP of applied deep learning Bryan Catanzaro said to Axios last month. Direct quote: "For my team, the cost of compute is far beyond the costs of the employees." This is a VP at the company that SELLS the chips saying that using AI is more expensive than paying humans. Think about what this means for the entire AI narrative. Every CEO on every earnings call for the past two years has said the same thing: AI will make us more efficient, reduce headcount, and cut costs. The stock market rewarded every company that said it. Fired workers, stock goes up. Announced AI adoption, stock goes up. But the actual companies deploying AI at scale are discovering the math doesn't work. The MORE employees use AI, the HIGHER the bill. Goldman Sachs forecasts a 24x increase in token consumption by 2030 as companies adopt AI agents. Gartner just published a report showing that even though individual token prices will drop 90% by 2030, total enterprise AI costs will go UP because agents consume exponentially more tokens per task than basic tools. Meta built an internal dashboard called "Claudeonomics" to track which employees use the most AI. Amazon started pushing engineers to "tokenmaxx," their internal term for consuming as many AI tokens as possible. Both companies are spending hundreds of billions on AI infrastructure this year alone. And Microsoft, the company that bet its entire future on AI, just told 100,000 engineers to stop using the tool they liked best because the per-token bills got out of control. The companies building AI are telling investors it saves money. The companies using AI are finding out it costs more than the humans it was supposed to replace. And even the company that makes the chips just admitted it through its own VP. This is the gap nobody on Wall Street is pricing in. $725 billion in AI infrastructure spending this year across Big Tech. And the first companies to actually deploy these tools at scale are already pulling back because the economics don't work. What do you think?

$META is the largest position in my family portfolio because I don't just view it as just one of the world's most profitable advertising businesses but as an AI infrastructure and distribution platform with unmatched scale. As AI improves ad monetization, custom silicon lowers compute costs and new revenue streams emerge through models, agents and cloud infrastructure then I think the market will increasingly value Meta as an AI platform rather than simply an ad company. If that plays out then I think $META can rerate closer to 25x earnings.
