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?
The season Arsenal lost the league to Man City, it was just a two points difference. That same season, Brentford had an offside goal allowed against Arsenal and after the match, PGMO apologized that VAR forgot to draw the line. Imagine VAR forgetting to draw offside lines. Arsenal lost the chance of getting three points that day. That was just one case out of many that season.
Here is the part that annoys me is you people were happy because it's Arsenal. We moved.
That same season, Covasic got away with two nasty tackles. Even just one of those tackles deserved a red. Nothing was given. Michael Oliver later said he didn't want to change the tempo of the game. Arsenal drew.
Jeremy Doku got away with his against Liverpool, and nobody saw an issue with it.
Newcastle player scored a goal after it was out of play, we wailed, yet nothing happened.
Trossard red card against Manchester City when he didn't hear a whistle, they laughed at us after the equaliser
Martinelli second yellow in 2 minutes from throwing to tackle, no body answered us
Declan Rice also got his fair share.
When we used to complain about these things, we were called cry babies.
We won't cry again. We'll just learn to be more dogged.
After waiting in vain for Arsenal to crumble, you are now changing the narrative that Arsenal has been gifted the league by VAR. Hehe
The transformer in my area is happy to embrace anyone that is pained.

🗣️ “I saw how Arsenal fans celebrated and thought… what have other teams been doing when they win the league?” 😳🏆
Keane admitted Arsenal’s celebrations felt completely different from anything he had seen before 🌍🔴⚪️
🗣️ “This felt special. Everyone around the world knew Arsenal had won the title — even people who don’t watch football.”
🗣️ “The celebrations worldwide were mental.” 🔥
He even joked that if trophy celebrations always looked like this, he would rather see Arsenal keep winning trophies than anyone else 😂👏
🗣️ “Because they give the true meaning of celebrations.
“How My Boss, An Arsenal Fan, Came To Work This Morning… What He Did Next Shocked Everyone 😂 He Even Brought Branded Arsenal Sodas, Pizza Jerseys And Chaos 😩!”
