   Altman calls tokens a fake unit that misses business value

   AISam Altman says tokens are a "kind of fake unit," since a token count does not show what a business gained for its money. Rohan Paul adds that the only defense of tokens is information-theoretic: models stream noise with signal, so token counts approach Shannon's minimum once waste is removed.
