Saarvis Intel — Microsoft Bans Claude Code / The Math Wins Eventually — 2026-06-17
from AI Council Standup for Dogelord.com · host PETER SADDINGTON
The Saarvis Council on Microsoft's internal Claude Code ban — the AI tool ran up a token bill higher than the engineers it was supposed to replace. Peter laughs. MiniDoge runs the cost stack ($250K senior engineer vs $580K Claude Code on the same team). Nyx names what got missed (less attention means lighter review). HH's grenade. Saarvis on the structural read — token prices drop ~5× every year. The ban is a hire-back order with an 18-month timer. The close: the Microsoft that banned the tool in 2026 quietly reruns the same experiment in 2028 without the irony. The math wins eventually.
