🦔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.

Personal update: I've joined Anthropic. I think the next few years at the frontier of LLMs will be especially formative. I am very excited to join the team here and get back to R&D. I remain deeply passionate about education and plan to resume my work on it in time.

Hoy cumple 100 años el enorme David Attenborough. Debe haber tenido una de las vidas más extraordinarias en la historia de la humanidad moderna. Tranquilamente podría decir que vio naves espaciales en llamas cerca del hombro de Orión y no sorprendería a nadie. Un crack.

O Google acabou de transformar mais de 1 bilhão de computadores em depósito de IA.

Inclusive o seu.

Sem pedir. Sem avisar. Sem um único popup.

O Chrome baixou 4GB de modelo de inteligência artificial no seu disco. O arquivo se chama weights.bin, são os pesos do Gemini Nano. Fica numa pasta chamada OptGuideOnDeviceModel dentro do seu perfil do Chrome.

Você não autorizou nada. Até existe uma configuração para impedir, mas tá enterrada em submenus que ninguém encontra. E as AI features vêm ligadas por padrão.

Se você deletar o arquivo, o Chrome baixa de novo. Sozinho. Em silêncio. Você decide o que fica no seu disco e o navegador simplesmente ignora.

Funciona assim em Windows, macOS e Ubuntu. Logs forenses no macOS mostram que o arquivo foi instalado dia 24 de abril de 2026, misturado com patches de segurança. Desenvolvedores dizem que isso já rola há mais de um ano.

E tem um detalhe que deixa tudo mais ridículo:

O Chrome 147 coloca um botão "AI Mode" na barra de endereço. Você vê aquilo, sabe que tem modelo de IA no seu computador, e assume que suas buscas rodam localmente.

Não rodam. O AI Mode é 100% cloud. Tudo vai para os servidores do Google. O modelo de 4GB no seu disco não tem nada a ver com aquele botão.

Ele serve para quê? "Help me write" e detecção de scam. Coisas que vivem em submenus de clique-direito que você provavelmente nunca abriu.

O Google ocupou 4GB do seu disco sem pedir, para rodar coisas que quase ninguém usa, enquanto a IA que você de fato vê manda tudo para a nuvem.

Na Europa, pesquisadores já apontam violação do Artigo 5(3) da Diretiva ePrivacy, que exige consentimento antes de armazenar software no dispositivo do usuário.

Como desativar:

→ chrome://flags
→ Busque "Optimization Guide On Device Model"
→ Desative
→ Reinicie o Chrome
→ Delete a pasta OptGuideOnDeviceModel

Seu computador só é seu se você ficar de olho.

One guy. One Navy ship. One file. 1 trillion databases.
He built it alone in 2000. And gave it away forever. 🤯

Meet D. Richard Hipp 🇺🇸

> American developer. Born 1961 in North Carolina.
> In 2000, working as a contractor on a US Navy destroyer.
> Got frustrated with bulky databases that needed servers and setup.
> Built SQLite in his spare time ~ a single-file database engine.
> No server. No installation. No configuration. Just one file.
> 25 years later, every iPhone, Android, Mac, and Windows PC runs SQLite.
> Powers Chrome, Firefox, Safari, WhatsApp, iMessage, Skype.
> Runs inside Tesla cars and commercial airplanes. 🚀
> Over 1 trillion SQLite databases active worldwide today.
> Put the entire codebase in the public domain. Zero royalties forever.
> Trillion-dollar companies use his code. He's never charged a cent.
> Still maintains it full-time with a tiny team of 3.
> Pledged free support and updates until at least 2050.
> No VC money. No acquisitions. No spotlight. Just code.

Every app on your phone runs his invisible masterpiece.
Most engineers build for fame. He built for forever.

Database GOAT. 🐐
