Tales from yesterday. I have 2 machines. One is personal, doing personal things. The other is doing company things. Agents drive my work on both. On the personal machine, I have 4 agents running simultaneously. On the company machine, I have 5 agents running simultaneously. Midmorning, the personal machine gave me this message: “You’re out of Codex tokens. Wait until 12:18 PM.” Just like that, 4 agents shut down. About an hour later, the power went out in our company’s data center, which includes our AI infrastructure. Just like that, 5 agents shut down. Token starvation. When one has AI working for them, what does one do when the token budget runs out? I’m wondering if the new job interview paradigm includes a negotiated token budget in addition to salary, benefits, etc.
