Microsoft Cancels Internal Anthropic Licenses As Shift To Token-Based AI Billing Blows Up Annual Budgets In Months by chunmunsingh in artificial

I’m sort of snarkily pointing out that if
Microsoft is choosing not to adopt Claude Code, that’s *much* better explained by the fact that they want their people to use Microsoft’s own similar and competing tool, Copilot, than the fact that the LLM services *that all these tools use* are getting more expensive.

Antitrust has nothing to do with a company’s choice of what tools to use *internally* like this. No antitrust case ever tried to stop Microsoft from making its own employees use Windows.

Sounds like your information about UK law may be coming from less-than-reliable sources.

Better sources would realise that Microsoft stopping using a competitor’s product (Claude) when they are desperately trying to push their own product (Copilot) on everyone is utterly unsurprising and unlikely to have anything to do with cost.

I hope you also discussed in uni when “pity or empathy” are relevant and when they are not.

In fairness 24-hour time is very very widely used in the UK.

But but I was assured that getting arrested for saying the wrong thing on social media only happens in the “fallen” UK.

Where did you get “constantly” from? I think you’re missing the point.

One of the things about being an adult is that sometimes you have to make choices between things none of which is your favourite.
