       GitHub Copilot got 25x more expensive over night.I just felt a great disturbance in the force, as if millions of low-effort PRs suddenly cried out and were silenced.Maintainers worldwide breathe a sigh of relief. Businesses are about to wake up to some very interesting invoices.

       @fribbledom I'm happy they're moving to realistic (?) pricing. It'll make for more intelligent decisions about what kind of jobs businesses want to hand over to AI and how much quality they expect for what they're paying. And on whether or not to switch to local LLMs running on local hardware. LLM co-op farms might become a thing.We live in interesting times.

       @fribbledom software dev businesses already have no idea how to estimate token costs, and haven't developed new pricing strategies. Yet they've been pushing developers to use LLMs for everything - and now we need to find out which operations are even still useful with increased costs. x25 is only the beginning, seeing how awfully inefficient LLMs are. I'd already be asking "is this still viable if costs increase x100?".

       @fribbledom We're slowly moving from "use AI for everything, use it as much as possible" to "hey hey hey, maybe first think, then ask AI".. There was this page showing graphs of how much revenue each company brings and how much money they spend on providing "AI" and every single one of them was deeeeeply in the deficit.

       @fribbledom Drug dealer's business model. They must have concluded that enough marks are hooked already.

       @fribbledom Microsoft also jacked up the price for corporate use of Copilot. They need a return of investment after consumers pushed back on all the Copilot buttons in all Microsoft products. Made sense they would increase the price for Github Copilot too.If you use Claude, you may want to look into Caveman, which can significantly shrink down the amount of tokens you use (some say 65%). It was made by a Dutch student who wanted to save on expenses for the coding he was doing.

       @fribbledom Oh. A token-based pricing model. That's even "better" than I imagined.Interesting to see people upset about the change when it was always obvious that this was going to happen soon enough.

       @fribbledom This makes me so happy. For a while now I've been warning about this and typically got told 'shut up and use it as much as you can, Hakan' repeatedly.
