Amazon AI Push Spurs Tokenmaxxing

Classic measurement failure: if leadership rewards AI usage volume, workers will optimize for visible usage instead of useful output.

• –Internal targets and dashboards create perverse incentives, especially when teams think managers are watching the numbers
• –MeshClaw can deploy code, triage email, and interact with Slack, so unnecessary automation increases both cost and risk surface
• –The real metric should be quality, speed, and customer impact, not raw token consumption
• –This is a warning for any company rolling out enterprise AI: adoption metrics can distort behavior fast
• –The broader pattern is familiar across big tech, where AI adoption gets treated like a compliance exercise instead of a productivity tool
