The speaker asserts that any business paying an engineer "a few hundred thousand dollars a year" should unequivocally provide them with the ability to use AI "tokens as necessary." This is because enabling AI access can "double or triple or 5x or 10x their output." The speaker strongly states that "you would have to be a moron not to do this," emphasizing that businesses gain "a massive multiple on the money" spent on the engineer through significantly increased productivity and output.
