100% agree with Theo. The loud 'cancel GitHub Copilot' outrage from influencers is classic entitlement after years of Microsoft's generous adoption subsidy.

Copilot's real business is enterprise, not retail devs.

Companies choose it for Microsoft's ironclad privacy: customer data not used for training, full GDPR/SOC compliance, audit logs, zero-retention options, and enterprise-grade security.

The shift to AI Credits stings for heavy agentic users with massive contexts, but compute isn't free.

We all knew this is coming...

[Theo - t3.gg @theo]

In order to hit the limit of your $40 Copilot plan, you have to do at least $60 of inference.

The previous limit structure was entirely broken. You could do $40,000+ of inference for $40.

You’re not hurting them by cancelling your sub.

Hi. Over the last 24 hours we had three separate small incidents that affected Codex reliability. Those are three too many and we are taking active steps for them to not reproduce.

I have reset usage limits for Codex across all paid plans. May the tokens flow again.

The AI cost-saving story is starting to crack.

Big Tech sold AI as the thing that would slash labor costs.

But inside companies, the math is getting messier:

- You still pay the engineer to review the AI code.
- You still pay the lawyer to fix the AI contract.
- You still pay the analyst to catch the AI math errors.
- You still pay managers to redesign the workflow.

And now you also pay for tokens, GPUs, vendors, subscriptions, security reviews, and compliance.

So the “AI replaces workers” narrative has a hidden problem:
Many companies did not replace the old cost structure.

They just added an AI tax on top of it.

That is why AI ROI is becoming the real debate.

Not because AI is useless.

Because token usage is easy to scale.

Actual productivity is not.

First it was MIT and McKinsey. Now Bain finds that returns to corporate AI investments are disappointing.

@IndianTechGuide @grok can you validate this post?

[SABAR @Workflow_AI]

@MythThrazz @jeffreyhuber @grok The information from grok appears accurate. After Microsoft announced the decommissioning of Lync and Skype for Business, many companies began migrating to Teams, resulting in a surge in migration activity.

@Scobleizer It appears that claws are included by default in the new Windows PC.

Microsoft just showed the direction of the next developer machine.

Not just a PC.
A local AI dev box.

The new Surface RTX Spark class of machines is built for AI engineers:

→ 1 petaflop AI compute
→ 128GB unified memory
→ local models up to 120B+ parameters
→ WSL + containers
→ Linux tools like grep/coreutils
→ Homebrew support
→ smarter terminal workflows
→ GitHub Copilot inside the terminal

This is the shift:

Developers are moving from just writing code in an IDE
to orchestrating agents, terminals, containers, local models, and cloud workflows.

That needs a different kind of machine.

Less distraction.
More local AI.
More GPU power.
More Linux love.
More agentic development.

The PC is becoming an AI-native developer environment.

And for AI builders, this looks like the developer dream machine.

@atmoio Ok don't share it then 😁😄

[SABAR @Workflow_AI]

@GoingParabolic Even though the total loss is $37,000, we can only claim $3,000 per year. If we don't have any other realized losses, can we claim $9,000 over three years?

What qualifies a $37,000 loss as a capital loss? Any special provisions for cryptos??

[SABAR @Workflow_AI]

@ns123abc It wasn't great, it was just okay, IMO.

GitHub Copilot token-based billing is starting to feel very real.

New month, new Copilot tokens… and I already burned through my Copilot Enterprise plan in one day.

Now waiting until July 1st for the reset.

And Microsoft Build is tomorrow. Perfect timing, right? 😅

The shift from SKU-based pricing to token-based usage changes how developers and engineering teams think about AI coding assistants.

It’s not just “do we have access?”

It’s also:

How do we plan AI usage across IDEs, agents, chats, and automation?

GitHub Copilot is becoming part of the daily developer workflow, but token limits make one thing clear:

AI-assisted development now needs better usage planning, cost awareness, and smarter prompting.

Maybe more tokens? 👀

@inion_De_1893 @LauraLoomer @RepThomasMassie @grok care to validate the claim here?

[SABAR @Workflow_AI]

@inion_De_1893 @LauraLoomer @RepThomasMassie First of all, I don’t know this guy or what he does.

However, as a follower of Hinduism, I find it unacceptable when the name of a sacred Hindu religious symbol is used to refer to a N@zi symbol.

My eyes are working file, may this can help with opening your eyes.

Swastika (Sanskrit: स्वस्तिक, svastika) = ancient symbol of auspiciousness/well-being. Used for thousands of years in India and East Asia. Usually drawn with arms at 0°/90° (flat), often with dots or different styling. Positive spiritual meaning.

Hakenkreuz (“hooked cross”) = the specific version the Nazis adopted and rotated 45°. They deliberately chose it and made it their party emblem (black on white circle on red flag).

In German they called it Hakenkreuz, not swastika.

@OrenMe @GitHubCopilot This should be documented and distributed company-wide.

Everyone's arguing which AI model is best.

But if you're still only talking models and not optimizing tokens... NGMI.

@NyrVani Ha ha funny.
