🦔Uber's COO Andrew Macdonald said on Saturday that the company is having a harder time justifying its AI spend. After CTO Praveen Neppalli Naga went viral in April for admitting Uber burned through its 2026 Claude Code budget in four months, senior engineering leaders concluded higher token usage was not translating into proportionally more useful product. Macdonald said the link between AI consumption and shipped features is "not there yet." CEO Dara Khosrowshahi confirmed on the earnings call that Uber is slowing hiring to fund its AI spend. Duolingo also walked back its decision to include AI usage in performance reviews last month. My Take Uber is the first major enterprise where the C-suite has publicly admitted, on the record, that the AI productivity story is not closing for them. That matters because Uber is not a skeptic. The company went all-in on AI tooling, set internal targets, and burned through its annual research and development budget in four months trying to make it work. The conclusion from the people running the experiment is that tokens consumed and value shipped are not the same number, and management is finally noticing. Duolingo's reversal lands in the same week for a reason. CEO Luis von Ahn said employees were asking whether they needed to use AI just to use AI, which is Goodhart's Law showing up in a performance review system. When usage becomes the metric, employees optimize for usage, not output. Microsoft canceled internal Claude Code licenses, Google AI Pro stripped credits from paid subscribers, and now Uber is admitting the ROI does not close at scale. The narrative has shifted in the last 30 days from "AI productivity is here" to "AI productivity is harder to measure than we thought." The companies pushing tokenmaxxing internally are now the same companies signaling cost pressure externally. The IPO calendar for OpenAI and Anthropic is going to get a lot more complicated if the largest enterprise customers keep saying this out loud. Hedgie🤗
