So SpaceX buys the Tesla cars nobody wants while Tesla buys the SpaceX AI nobody wants. It's inspiring to see free market capitalism allocating resources so efficiently.

It's just like the Nvidia > OpenAI > Oracle triangle, but all on a single balance sheet. Hey, that's efficiency!
Is there any chance he's self aware enough to know he just ate shit?
Hey, if burning giant piles of garbage to enable burning giant piles of money in order to make the internet a shittier place isn't efficient enough for you, then I dare you to come up with a better plan!
When my father's boss pulled a similar thing, he got removed from the companies he owned.

$200/month will get you a Claude max x20 subscription, allowing practically unlimited opus usage, and pretty hefty Fable usage too.
And this limit was per week. So they're pretty much just enforcing that people use subscriptions instead of on-demand billing.
sanitation — within a month, devs will be on personal accounts or finding free tier alternatives. Not because they're circumventing policy, but because the cap makes their actual work harder. We capped AWS per-team and people started using the free tier, which was slower, which meant longer dev cycles, which killed more time than the savings. Cost control that makes core work slower isn't control, it's just tax. Better: measure what actually ships faster vs. slower per tool and let that inform spend.
Err.... so? Coke doesn't want it's employees drinking Pepsi at all, anywhere. Seems reasonable to expect your employees to use your product instead of your company paying your competition.
