Ricardo@Ric_RTP·
Microsoft just banned its own engineers from using AI. The tool was literally costing MORE than the humans it was supposed to replace. They lied to you about AI adoption and now the whole narrative is blowing up: Microsoft gave thousands of engineers access to Claude Code six months ago and encouraged them to use it. Engineers loved it and adoption exploded. But then the invoices arrived. Token-based pricing means every query, every code review, every debugging session costs money. At scale across 100,000 engineers, the numbers became so large that Microsoft issued an internal order to cancel nearly all Claude Code licenses by end of June and force everyone onto their own cheaper tool instead. The company that invested $5 billion in Anthropic just told its own people to stop using Anthropic's product because it costs too much. Uber's story is even worse... Their CTO Praveen Neppalli Naga told The Information that the budget he planned for the full year was "blown away already" by April. Uber had rolled out Claude Code in December 2025. By March, 84% of their 5,000 engineers were using it with 70% of all committed code coming from AI systems. Heavy users were burning $500 to $2,000 per month each. Naga himself spent $1,200 in a single two-hour demo session. The company had even built internal leaderboards ranking engineers by how much AI they used. They literally gamified the spending and then ran out of money. Now look at what Nvidia's own VP of applied deep learning Bryan Catanzaro said to Axios last month. Direct quote: "For my team, the cost of compute is far beyond the costs of the employees." This is a VP at the company that SELLS the chips saying that using AI is more expensive than paying humans. Think about what this means for the entire AI narrative. Every CEO on every earnings call for the past two years has said the same thing: AI will make us more efficient, reduce headcount, and cut costs. The stock market rewarded every company that said it. Fired workers, stock goes up. Announced AI adoption, stock goes up. But the actual companies deploying AI at scale are discovering the math doesn't work. The MORE employees use AI, the HIGHER the bill. Goldman Sachs forecasts a 24x increase in token consumption by 2030 as companies adopt AI agents. Gartner just published a report showing that even though individual token prices will drop 90% by 2030, total enterprise AI costs will go UP because agents consume exponentially more tokens per task than basic tools. Meta built an internal dashboard called "Claudeonomics" to track which employees use the most AI. Amazon started pushing engineers to "tokenmaxx," their internal term for consuming as many AI tokens as possible. Both companies are spending hundreds of billions on AI infrastructure this year alone. And Microsoft, the company that bet its entire future on AI, just told 100,000 engineers to stop using the tool they liked best because the per-token bills got out of control. The companies building AI are telling investors it saves money. The companies using AI are finding out it costs more than the humans it was supposed to replace. And even the company that makes the chips just admitted it through its own VP. This is the gap nobody on Wall Street is pricing in. $725 billion in AI infrastructure spending this year across Big Tech. And the first companies to actually deploy these tools at scale are already pulling back because the economics don't work. What do you think?

It's incredibly likely that gold goes lower and back tests high $3000s before launching if what I think just started in the middle east started. $3700-$3900 range will be where I buy physical en masse.

AI costs have become absurd. A single basic task on Hermes costs me $20 on Opus via API on Hermes. This is precisely why China models will become more ubiquitous than frontier models.
Hedgie@HedgieMarkets

🦔Microsoft canceled its internal Claude Code licenses this week after token-based billing made the cost untenable, even for a company with effectively infinite cloud resources. Uber's CTO sent an internal memo warning the company burned through its entire 2026 AI budget in just four months. American AI software prices have jumped 20% to 37%, and GitHub (owned by Microsoft) is dropping flat-rate plans for usage-based billing across its products. My Take The AI subsidy era is ending in real time. The same company that put $13 billion into OpenAI and built the Azure infrastructure powering most of Anthropic's compute just looked at the bill from a competitor's coding tool and decided it was not worth paying. That is not a productivity failure on Anthropic's end. Token-based pricing is forcing every enterprise customer to confront the actual cost of running these models at scale, and the number turns out to be far higher than the flat-rate experiments suggested. This ties directly to my Gemini Flash post yesterday. Anthropic, OpenAI, and Google all raised effective prices in the last six months. Enterprises that built workflows assuming AI costs would keep falling are now watching annual budgets evaporate in months. Two outcomes look likely from here. Either enterprises scale back AI usage to fit budgets, which slows the revenue ramp the labs need to justify their valuations ahead of IPOs, or the labs cut prices and absorb the losses, which makes the unit economics worse at exactly the wrong moment. Both paths land in the same place, the numbers stop working, and somebody has to take the writedown. Hedgie🤗

@ThisWeeknAI Who is pushing the anti-AI propaganda and how does it benefit them? AI is a tool that should be used in moderation. It is against our own detriment to not use it at all.

@KC_Invests You’re not thinking outside the box. Pandemic. The biggest demand destruction event possible. My guess is that’s what’s driving this hantavirus outbreak.

Last week review: WTI is around $110, axios claims imminent "peace deals" bring oil into low $90's. Iran passes Trump a note saying "LOL we're delaying again". Trump says "OPEN THE FUCKIN' STRAIT YOU CRAZY BASTARDS, I'M NOT HAPPY WITH THIS". WTI goes up to $98. King Bessent.

@GavMcCracken @gavin serious question. It’s odd timing for this hantavirus to breaking out, and we both know the only way the system destroys enough oil demand is another type of Covid-type event. I’m all in on oil, but do worry about this type of scenario.

SUPER DOT-COM BUBBLE? Even Intel during the dot-com bubble was CHEAPER than today. Intel’s forward P/E ratio — the favorite metric of permabulls — was “only” 28x at the peak of the dot-com mania. Today? 104x. And unlike back then, Intel now has: - no real growth - no durable cash flow - massive debt Yet the valuation is far more extreme than one of the biggest bubbles in market history.

Sad thing: "news, even bad news & scandal are good news" bc no one puts effort into their internal world model. Barak will gain funding bc he did a bad job reporting, pretended it was antisemitic, then all 6 friends came out "supporting" him & the uninformed think credible again.
