Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang said that he’ll be deeply alarmed if an engineer getting paid $500,000 a year does not consume at $250,000 worth of AI tokens to get their job done.

They don't seem to be suggesting they use their own money. Just using their salary as a comparison. It'd be like if a trucking company related gas expenditures to employee salaries. If they had an employee that earned 80k but only spent $20 in gas, that would be odd. They seem to be suggesting that in order to prove their working efficiency, they should be spending a certain amount of company money on AI.

I don't agree with the assessment, but I do think it should be clear that they are not expecting that money to come out of employee salaries.

    I think you are correct but using $$ as a metric makes zero sense... is AI less "effective" to engineer chips (as per Jensen) if gas prices raise and therefore the cost of cooling down the data centers?

    I think this shitty attempt to line up tokens with salary is based on their absolutely stupid idea to start paying and trading with tokens as if they were real money
