Summary
Microsoft recently announced major pricing changes for GitHub Copilot, changes that were drastic enough that a Reddit user said their company has started calling it the Tokenpocalypse. “Can these AI labs collapse that cost progress the tech enough in a way that it eventually meets in the middle with customers’ appetite for spending?” Sean wondered. Kirsten, meanwhile, suggested that this also reflects “how quickly things are moving.” In a few months, companies became obsessed with “tokenmaing,” then turned against it due to the high costs.
