I don't have any deep thoughts about it, but I think it's interesting that the word "allowance" is sometimes used to refer to an allotment of units used for AI. The word "token" is used for the unit.
As a Gen Xer who spent some time on boardwalks and in arcades, I read these words as follows. Your parents give you an allowance. Tokens are non-monetary blanks that arcades used to use a lot. You'd pay real life money for a bunch of tokens and then use the tokens to play the games. Your parents would give you an allowance of so many tokens, and not give you money, to (a) keep you from playing too many games; and (b) keep you from using the money to buy candy or cigarettes. I have a few of these that I kept from back in the day.
Make of it what you will.

There’s an Over the Garden Wall pixel art video game.
It’s free to play, or a small donation of your choice to the creators. Some of the original cast and musical artists make an appearance!
Having a shockingly wild blast downloading and moving audio described lets plays to my Audiobookshelf for offline listening like an audiobook. TV shows too. Investing in an audiobookshelf is by far the best thing I've ever spent money in. No more clogging up my phone's memory! #AudioBookShelf #YouTube #Gaming #Games

Anyone around who knows or does game development have thoughts or links they could share about what's going on with Tim Sweeney at Epic Games, and this announcement about eviscerating Unreal Engine and stuffing AI in the hole for UE6? It seems like Sweeney's been fully AI pilled and is taking his company with him. It strikes me as bizarre, bordering on desperate, to remove massive systems like Blueprints and the C++ Gameplay Framework in a single major version change, rather than deprecate them and phase them out. But I don't know that world.
