The VCs are now talking up the number-go-up of AI "tokens". They make graphs of this shit. Big number! We processed 50x the tokens!
I know what a token is. But the fuck does this mean in sensible? Anyone know?

@merospit they're literally bragging total tokens. e.g.
"We processed over 100 trillion tokens this quarter, up 5X year-over-year – including a record 50 trillion tokens last month alone." - Satya Nadella, MSFT earnings call.
