The company-wide limit affects all generative AI developer tools
Shirin Ghaffary#1892
Uber says it has limited all employees to $1,500 in monthly token spending per AI coding tool "to responsibly encourage agentic AI adoption" (@natlungfy / Bloomberg)
(Visit Techmeme dot com for the link and full context!)
Some users called Uber's $1,500 monthly cap on AI coding tools a good constraint that forces careful decisions, while others replied with insults and dismissed the limit as too low or pointless.
No Digg Deeper questions have been answered for this story yet.
this may a really dumb question:
what exactly is uber working on that requires a ton of new code?
same thing with airbnb, lyft, etc.

Uber is limiting AI coding tool spending to $1,500 per employee each month.
Uber’s CEO said last month that AI agents now submit and build roughly 10% of its code, while legal and marketing teams are also warming up fast to generative-AI tools.

@signulll Perhaps a weird person to quote, but this is a good answer:
"Because they don't do very much. But they don't want people to know that, so they make complicated terms for things, things that are very easy the average person can grasp fairly quickly." -Epstein
hear me out: driver licenses but for coding. - minimal rule understanding to not cause chaos on road - different classes/quotas - because some people are a menace to society

This is a mistake. Uber would be better off giving top eng talent $10k/mo and junior talent much less than $1500
It’s happening
The White Collar Bloodbath™ has been officially cancelled.
@signulll Uber has tasks for their drivers to do during downtime and they can data label.

@signulll uber is not a taxi app. it’s a real-time lawsuit router with surge pricing
@signulll they are sin hundreds of markets with different cultures and regulations and the app experience is customized for each of them. They also acquiring new startups specifically for food delivery in MENA and other developing countries
@signulll i see you haven’t worked in big tech. entire teams create work for themselves to appear busy.
@signulll didn’t you answer this already? the set of things worth attempting expanded
@dadua_daku i did a log analysis just now at the toilet.
rest assured we do not do this at @tolanworld

@signulll I was joking, but also serious
@bankof_amERICA okay this should be fine for like monthly plans roughly speaking, esp codex.
@signulll Any of the major AI chat systems could give you a decent answer to this question - at least the paid versions could, the free versions are kind of garbage. You have a blue check mark, you could have just asked Grok. So why post the question on X?
@signulll my guess is: claude fix this bug claude fix the bug you created claude fix the bug that you fixed but also created at the same time
@signulll Nothing. But perhaps their boards are invested in NVIDIA, and plan to invest in anthropic when they IPO. And perhaps they are using the resources of one company to pump the others they have investments in. Perhaps.
