Should I Overspend on AI Tokens?

Joubin Mirzadegan would rather overspend on AI tokens than stay too conservative, even though he says most token maxing is not valuable, including a lot of his own over the last few months.

The bill is not the expensive part. Token maxing takes effort and energy, and the failure mode is AI psychosis or time that is not productive. Some people are very good at it and accelerate themselves. Not everyone is. He treats raw token maxing as a bad way to measure the work.

Nobody knows the perfect line at any moment. He would rather spend a little too much time where the models are not good enough, and a few too many tokens, than stay too conservative out of fear of spending tokens or time the wrong way. Nobody is going to be exactly right. Knowing which mistake he would rather make tells him what to do.
