How is this Friday and yet in VSCode…and Visual Studio still not seeing new #MSFT
@GitHubCopilot ai models that I guess we are supposed to use in order to not burn through a month’s tokens with a couple of prompts?

[Arie Jones @programmersedge]

@SooperMexican Or just turn off
TikTok and they’ll all perform seppuku

[Arie Jones @programmersedge]

And costs a bazillion dollars

[Microsoft Developer @msdev]

During the #MicrosoftBuild keynote, @cassidoo took the stage to demo the new GitHub Copilot app, showing how agents, multi-model reviews, custom UI canvases, and enterprise-ready deployment through Rayfin come together in one workflow.

Man, such bad timing for Bernie

Bernie Sanders unveils plan to take 50% stake in AI companies for government wealth fund

[Arie Jones @programmersedge]

This copilot fiasco is just the first shoe to drop…once these AI companies are pushed to get closer to profitability you’ll see subsidies decline and then you’ll see the “oh shit we need bodies” scenario play out

[Squawk Box @SquawkCNBC]

"The easiest people to fire are those you haven't hired yet," says @AndrewYang. "So are we replacing junior analysts, junior engineers with AI? 100%. And if we are, then I guarantee organizations around the country are doing the exact same thing." https://t.co/FSQs7P5wuw

But in another 12 months all white collar jobs will vanish ….or something like that

[Roger @rdd147]

🚨 Sam Altman warns OpenAi and Anthropic are experiencing severe pullback on Ai spending as companies put significant restraints on spending to restrict costs. The company warns investors it’s the first time this has happened in Ai and something we never expected. The buildout costs aren’t sustainable to allow profitability to hyperscalers or end users.

(Sigh) this is just all so tiring

[Theo - t3.gg @theo]

Copilot’s biggest issue isn’t cost. It isn’t product. It isn’t even the brand dilution.

They have the insurmountable problem of having the actual stupidest user base of any AI product.

The average Lovable user understands basic software development better than Copilot users.

[Arie Jones @programmersedge]

Hmmmm….so no one knew what a token was

[Theo - t3.gg @theo]

Gross oversimplification of what happened.

Short version:
1. They charged per message because nobody knew what a token was
2. “Messages” got longer and more expensive because of agents
3. they delayed changes because people like you would flip out
4. It went too far and they ran out of compute.

lol 1840… obviously Neil hasn’t played Oregon Trail or he would know why life expectancy was 35

[The Vigilant Fox 🦊 @VigilantFox]

Neil deGrasse Tyson: “Whatever [the next outbreak] is, we ain’t ready for it. We still have anti-vaxxers running around.”

“I don’t trust scientists. I saw a YouTube video, so I’m not going to take it.” (mocking)

“I don’t want you to ever forget this story.”

“20,000 years ago, we’re in the cave. Do you know what the life expectancy was?”

Shannon Sharpe: “10 years? 15 years?”

Neil deGrasse Tyson: “30. Half of everyone born was dead before they were 30.”

Shannon Sharpe: “Wow!!!”

Neil deGrasse Tyson: “Fast forward to 1840… everyone born in the world was dead by the age of 35. We gained five years of life expectancy. And every one of them ate organic, breathed clean air… Science matters here.”

“We’ve doubled the life expectancy with antibiotics, vaccines, and sanitation. The three biggest forces operating on our longevity. So to come around and say I don’t need vaccines because I’m not getting sick, that’s like saying, why are you using dandruff shampoo? You don’t have dandruff.”

Shannon Sharpe: “Well, I don’t want to get it.”

Neil deGrasse Tyson: “That’s my point. If you’re successful, people think you don’t need it when that’s what’s creating the ongoing success in the first place.”

@thealexkates Only available for paid individual plans right now, biz/enterprise soon

[Arie Jones @programmersedge]

For all the wins he accurate with Azure this could be @satyanadella ‘s biggest fumble here with this copilot thing.

My individual account burning through tokens …

Corporate account doesn’t show individual tokens

Still don’t see these new lower cost models they are talking about..

Go out to Azure to check a @dotnetAspire dashboard …dashboard that loaded the other week …now no longer loads

Wth is going on over there with @Azure ?

[Arie Jones @programmersedge]

@AttyAbdul @cdiegomorales Double? Can I get the listing for that job

[Arie Jones @programmersedge]

Ah I see….times the new copilot pricing to coincide with the start of Build…thereby paying for Build

[Satya Nadella @satyanadella]

Great to be back at Microsoft Build today. For us, it is not about any one piece of technology or even the platform.

It is about how we can build a frontier intelligence ecosystem together.

Sharing some of our big announcements today ...

[Arie Jones @programmersedge]

@RoKhanna @PaulYacoubian @paulg For many who?

[Arie Jones @programmersedge]

lol yeah fuck to the no on that

[Sharran Srivatsaa @sharran]

How to make a key employee feel like an owner without giving them ownership:

Phantom equity.

You (and your partners) own 100% of the business. You create a separate document called a phantom stock program. It mirrors your equity but lives outside your operating structure.

It says: “If we ever sell this business, you get X%.”

No liability. No tax consequences. No changes to your LLC or corporate docs.

But if they leave, it goes away.

Now your A player is building the business like they own it. Because in the outcome that matters most, they do.

It's the cleanest way to recruit, retain, and align without giving up control.

[Arie Jones @programmersedge]

Maybe if it didn’t include you

[Sam Altman @sama]

what would you most like to see improve in our next model?

[Arie Jones @programmersedge]

@Camos1990 @TheGame_Company @Osmanmasud Nothing from my side but I would have to think that they would be starting to look at testnet …and it might also be that they need the bank integration.

Meanwhile, other people and myself are working on tooling …to make it easier to go and go from idea to chain faster

[Arie Jones @programmersedge]

BUILDOOOOoooors!!!

[Arie Jones @programmersedge]

Soooo…skill issue then

[Brian Armstrong @brian_armstrong]

We experienced an outage at Coinbase last night, which is never acceptable. The root cause was a room overheating in an AWS datacenter when multiple chillers failed. We design our services to be redundant to downtime in any one AWS Availability Zone (AZ), and most of our systems worked this way last night, but not all.

Our centralized exchange did not. Exchanges have unique architectures that optimize for latency and co-location of clients. It is possible to make exchanges resistant to AZ failures, but this can introduce latency delays that are not desirable along with breaking customer co-location. Given this incident, we'll revisit these tradeoffs to ensure we're giving you the best possible venue to trade. At a minimum, the duration of an outage should be able to be reduced considerably when an AZ move is needed.

Thank you to the AWS and Coinbase teams for working through the night to mitigate the issue. We’ll share the detailed technical summary once it's ready.

Yesterday, we hit the most important milestone in our journey so far #TELfam

Telcoin Network Adiri Testnet is officially LIVE

For years, TN was an abstract concept. Now it's stable and tangible:
→ MNOs onboarding to run the Internet of Money
→ Devs building on a network designed for 8B+ mobile users
→ Partners integrating for global reach

Devs: start building on Adiri today!
