Palantir CEO almost hates AI word 'tokenmaxxing', compares it to 'bad addiction'

Speaking at Palantir's AIPCon 10, Karp said companies burn tokens that look like productivity but deliver nothing. He argued LLMs enhance, not replace, domain expertise, as Silicon Valley's tokenmaxxing backlash grows amid rising AI costs.
