The potential for a new "AI winter" is discussed, driven by the over-promising of technology that cannot deliver consistent accuracy. A specific example is cited regarding Microsoft's Copilot in Excel, which explicitly warns users not to use it for accounting or tasks requiring reproducibility due to its tendency to produce incorrect mathematical results.
Claude Token Inflation, GitHub Copilot Pricing and Local Models
The show concludes with a discussion on "tokflation," as Anthropic's Claude and GitHub Copilot move toward per-token pricing models. Dave Jones expresses frustration over hitting token limits on the $100 plan and suggests switching to local models like Qwen 3.6 for faster, uncapped performance. The hosts sign off, encouraging listeners to visit podcastindex.org and support the decentralized ecosystem.
