>You don't need to max out tokens

Alternate take: it takes a lot of up front effort to ensure when you "max out tokens" the work is valuable.

The same thing goes for token use operating business processes (vs. building software that runs business processes): Let's imagine buying $250k tokens per year to operating some business processes - how much human effort is needed to ensure that level of spend is valuable? I'm using a number that could be "we could hire a skilled human at that level" as that changes the feel of the question.
