🚨 They call it "tokenpocalypse".

From a leaked internal Accenture audio obtained by journalist Joseph Cox: Token spending is not triggered by engineers building complex software. It is triggered by employees without a technical profile by converting PDFs into PowerPoint presentations.

Uber has already limited the use of Claude Code and Cursor after melting its AI budget in four months. GitHub now charges per token instead of a flat rate. And the same consulting firm that pushes its senior staff to use AI "or it runs out of promotion" is now trying to curb the consumption that it itself encouraged.

They sold a productivity revolution for programmers. What we have, for now, are people paying fortunes in tokens to do what an "export to PPT" button used to do.

The party of unlimited spending on AI is over. Now it's time to pay the bill. 😳
