While much of the world is fascinated by a Russian couple climbing the Empire State Building with their so-called “anti-war protest,” Russia continues doing what it has done every single day for years: killing Ukrainians.

Looking at their social media, it’s hard to believe they oppose this war. They openly praise Putin, Lavrov, and other figures behind Russia’s aggression, while showing no concern for the Ukrainians being killed every day.

Yesterday alone, Russia attacked Sumy, Zaporizhzhia, Kharkiv, and other Ukrainian cities. Civilians were killed, children were injured, and homes were destroyed.

Somehow, a stunt on the Empire State Building gets more attention than Russia’s daily attacks on Ukraine. That should concern all of us.

🦔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.

My favorite crypto conspiracy right now is that Do Kwon taking a plea deal is somehow attached to the recent @ALT5_Sigma filing mentioning $UST

Would it be so far fetched to see @EricTrump or @ZachWitkoff pick up the ashes of the Terra community to boost USD1 stablecoin users?

Starlink has now mostly recovered from the network outage, which lasted approximately 2.5 hours.  The outage was due to failure of key internal software services that operate the core network.  We apologize for the temporary disruption in our service; we are deeply committed to providing a highly reliable network, and will fully root cause this issue and ensure it does not occur again.

[Elon Musk @elonmusk]

Service will be restored shortly.

Sorry for the outage.

SpaceX will remedy root cause to ensure it doesn’t happen again.
