@volklub India used to be a market where even premium car buyers were concerned about, 'Kitna degi?'.
I feel that's going to change now cause none of the car is going to give good milage with the fuel blending trend, even the best ones are falling behind.

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?

3 months ago, Apple banned Vibecoding apps from the App Store.

2 months ago, we figured a way to make 10x better native Swift iOS apps directly on your phone.

- Build any native iOS app
- Run it on a real iOS simulator
- Download directly on your phone
- Share w/ 100+ ppl

[Riley Brown @rileybrown]

The Apple App Store is DEAD.

You can add Claude Code / Codex to your iMessage

Then build a Swift app directly to your home screen

Wait no... not one iOS app. an entire personal app store.
(8 apps in one prompt)

All you have to do is @text_chorus

Mr. Gadkari talks about everything, but never about how DEF/AdBlue prices jumped from ₹1250 to nearly ₹2000 now? Absolute headache. Had to search 8 petrol pumps just to find one bucket.

My Toyota Hilux easily does 6–7k km on a full tank, yet every month this AdBlue drama starts again. Modern problems created in the name of emissions.” @nitin_gadkari

Apple Health is integral to users’ lives, and we’re expanding important features globally. I’m thrilled we offer them in 160+ countries and regions, including Hearing Aid in Italy, hypertension notifications in Taiwan, and sleep apnea notifications and Hearing Test in India!

This is 100% illegal.

A Chinese developer open-sourced a system that turns any Android phone into a wireless CarPlay device.

You just flash it onto a phone, plug it into your car, and your car's head unit thinks it's talking to an iPhone over CarPlay. except the phone is running Android.

→ Connects in 4-10 seconds
→ 60fps video at 25mb bitrate
→ Lossless PCM audio (48kHz 16-bit stereo)
→ 1:1 resolution match with your car display

100% Open Source.

🚨 WARNING for all Pixel owners in India. 🚨

My Pixel device was sent to official Google repair. After inspection, Google declared it “not repairable” and gave me only 2 choices:

1️⃣ Pay ₹22,620 for a replacement device
2️⃣ Get the phone returned unrepaired

Now comes the shocking part.

Before taking ₹22k+, Google India REFUSES to disclose:

❌ Which exact device they will send
❌ Whether it’s NEW or REFURBISHED
❌ Battery health details
❌ Water Resistance Rating
❌ Replacement quality standards
❌ Google cannot guarantee battery health percentage
❌ Google cannot guarantee IP/water resistance rating

And in writing, Google Support confirmed:
⚠️ Once payment is made, there is NO refund and NO return — even if you are unhappy with the replacement device quality sent later.

Most shocking part?

Google could not even confirm whether they have any minimum measurable quality standards/policies for refurbished replacement devices:

Battery health %
Water resistance integrity like IP rating

So basically:

Pay first.
Find out later what device you got.
No refund. No choice.
Without transparency, measurable quality benchmarks or refund rights.

This is not premium after-sales support.
This is “trust us after payment.”

Attaching screenshots of Google Support’s own email response.

Indian Pixel buyers deserve transparency before payment, not blind acceptance.

Buy a used car under 7L if running is under 500 km monthly

I always recommend buying a new car because it is stress free, comes with warranty and good for first 4-5 years but lately because of this constant ethanol increase worry, DPF headache in Diesel and countless ongoing issues in EV ownership...

It is recommended that you get a used Maruti, Honda, Toyota, Hyundai or KIA car from any known source, less than 60K km driven, non-accidental and with min 2 airbags.

The perks of buying a new car aren't there anymore with constant headaches. If you get one, please drive it as much as possible in 5-6 years to squeeze max value.

Using gestures on your iPhone to copy, paste, and control apps on your Mac is pure ecosystem magic.

My free app lets you switch between your favorite Mac apps with just a touch, minimize and maximize them with a swipe, and even use a grab-and-throw gesture to copy and paste.

choclift is now available with a big update on the App Store for iOS and macOS.
