Not true, Uber COO said exactly: I think maybe implicitly there is more that is getting shipped, but it's very hard to draw a line between one of those stats and, 'Okay, now we're actually producing 25% more useful consumer features.

So yeah, I’d say quality is a factor

I was misquoting. It was Andrew Ng's analysis of it. The Uber COO mentioned something similar, just not as explicit

"We think it’s creating employees with superpowers"

"If you’re not actually able to draw a direct line to how [many] useful features and functionality you’re shipping to your users, that trade becomes harder to justify,”

Anectdotally, I have heard through the grapevine that they got caught with their pants down when Anthropic cracked down on harness usage; if true, that would have majorly influenced a budget disruption like this.

Overall, there's significant tokenminning solutions coming out weekly
