@aniksingal: Microsoft told 100,000 engineers to stop using AI. Not because it didn’t work. Because it cost more than the engineers themselves. Microsoft rolled out an AI coding tool company-wide. Adoption exploded. Then the bills arrived — so large they told engineers to stop using it by end of June. The tool they helped fund with $5 billion. They’re not alone. Uber burned through their entire 2026 AI budget by April. Some engineers were spending $2,000 a month just in AI bills. Then NVIDIA, the company selling the chips powering all this AI...their own VP admitted AI costs more than hiring actual humans. That’s like Nike saying their own shoes cost too much to wear. For two years every CEO promised AI would slash costs. Wall Street believed it. But the companies actually running AI at scale are quietly pulling back — because the math doesn’t work yet. The story being sold publicly isn’t the one playing out behind closed doors. Does this surprise you, or did you see it coming? Save this — this conversation is just getting started. #MicrosoftAI #AIcosts #TechNews #AIBubble #aniksingal
