This entire episode is dedicated to discussing a prediction I've brought up eleventy billion times: AI prices are gonna go up, and it's not a matter of if, it's a matter of when. I break down Microsoft Copilot Cowork's usage-based pricing rollout, what it signals for the rest of the industry, the concept of tokenmaxxing, and how Anthropic's existing usage limits and Fable 5's pay-per-usage model are early signs of what's ahead.
