At work we will soon be getting access to agentic AI that parses through our gigantic code base and burns through money for very simple requests.

What would be the best way to maliciously comply with the management’s decision for AI usage to be an everyday thing you are expected to do without getting found out?

My idea is spamming the living shit out of the most expensive models for pointless tasks and then insisting that the result is wrong, and work in the meantime. Nobody can complain if my work is still good, but they will notice that the AI budget is not worth it and stop the hype train.

    Build an agent that calls other agents to call other agents to do mundane tasks. You will be promoted for this because this is High Level AI Builder Mentality and it will cost the company a fucking huge amount of money to accomplish very little. The more you can structure your agents to report to some top level agent that assigns tasks to lower level agents both the more money you will waste and also the more your management will think you are the Bees Knees and give you more money. Pretend like your agents are a company; you’re the CEO and you have an agent that tells other agents (that maybe tell other agents) what to do. This is a gigantic fucking waste of tokens and done right can burn through them VERY quick but also is exactly what CEOs want agents to do so it’ll go over great and nobody will ever question your motives
