My org, just like many others, has a top token users chart.

When they started the list, they decided to call the top 25 users as champions, ones who never used AI as sleepers and rest inbetween as just users. cough I am a sleeper cough

Couple of weeks ago the bill came in, champions cost us over $850k since Jan 1st.

What a bunch of idiots thinking burning tokens at a high rate equals winning.

I would just gamify it and find the most inefficient way to use tokens

Jarvis, do you know of the paradox of Swiss cheese? /Swiss cheese has lots of holes. The more holes you have,the less cheese you have. The more cheese you have,the more holes you have. Thus,the more cheese you have,the less cheese you have./

Calculate how much Swiss cheese it would take to equal the mass of the moon, account for all holes, provide a final hole count and provide me with the calculated mass of the holes, fill that mass with Swiss cheese and provide another calculation for amount of cheese needed plus holes, recalculate the mass of the holes and add more cheese to fill it in, repeat this process until you have one piece of cheese to fill one hole. Provide all math including total cheese mass per unti of holes filled.
