from The Big Tech Podcast with Fexingo: Apple, Google, Microsoft, Meta, and Amazon News · host Fexingo
A leaked internal memo reveals Uber's AI spending cap was maxed out in just four months as employees swarmed GPT-4 and GitHub Copilot. Lucas and Luna unpack what this says about enterprise AI adoption—and why Microsoft and Google are betting big on usage-based pricing. The episode examines Uber's per-seat vs. concurrency pricing debate, the 'shadow AI' problem spreading across Fortune 500 companies, and how the Big Tech cloud giants benefit from your team's AI experiments. Specific data: Uber blew $18 million of a $20 million AI budget by April; Microsoft saw Azure AI revenue surge 32% quarter-over-quarter in April. A must-listen for anyone managing tech budgets or watching the AI platform war. #Uber #AI #EnterpriseTech #Microsoft #Google #GPT4 #GitHubCopilot #ShadowAI #CloudComputing #TechSpending #BudgetOvershoot #Azure #AIAdoption #UsageBasedPricing #Technology #BusinessPodcast #FexingoBusiness #BigTech Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
