Kilo compares AI provider pricing changes to 1970s campus prank on punched cards

Kilo (@kilocode) argues on X that an AI provider's pricing change can disrupt a developer's workflow as sharply as a 1970s campus prank that scattered punched-card code.

The post links to a blog essay that uses a 50-year-old story from Colombia to make the comparison. The report gives no details of any specific provider's pricing change or of the prank's events beyond the essay's use of it.
