Starting June 1, your Copilot usage will consume GitHub AI Credits.

I love how corpos can just change the rules at will.

Edit: New prices:

And if you look at the old pricing structure, some of the models are increasing by 27x

    They would pay nearly any price

    Literally any price except paying skilled employees.

      That costs actual money though

      For the cost of one employee you can give 5 employees AI and tell them to work 10x faster

        You aren’t wrong, but even if LLMs didn’t exist, employers would invent a scapegoat to make the same demands of their employees.

      They would have to stop wasting so much money on LLM’s first.
