First the programmer asks the AI to nebulously "fix the bug". Then the AI spits out an answer faster than anyone can read and prompts you to integrate it.
Sure I can pause the video... but this is terrible marketing and dangerous practice.
The PR autocomplete is just braindead development at it's conclusion.
Microsoft really seems to have wrapped up the developer ecosystem with VS Code and the Github acquisition combined with OpenAI. They are going to have an absurd amount of data to optimize their models thanks to that, not sure how other AI focused companies can overcome that have to wonder at what point developers remember how anti-developer Microsoft used to be and potentially move away from their ecosystem.

do you see this as a tool to increase productivity in a way that shareholders ask for leaner team or in a way that it creates more demand for products and devs?
One should expect both.
One more reason to demand remote work. I really do not want to be sitting next to the guy who spends 8 hours talking to his computer.
I tried getting myself on the CLI waitlist ( https://githubnext.com/projects/copilot-cli/ ). That they use ffmpeg as the example hits a huge pain point for me. But: "Next Waitlist by GitHub Next would like permission to: Act on your behalf Not owned or operated by GitHub" Why does signing up for a waitlist require me to give permissions to an app to act in my account? An app that isn't even officially from GitHub? Th…

People should keep in mind that these human in the loop AI systems are built to learn from the human until they’re good enough to replace them.
With increases in productivity from systems like this, and a guaranteed bottom line improvement from cutting labor and running leaner teams, has anyone here heard of any large corporations using LLM's as an excuse for headcount reduction yet? In all honesty, I wouldn't be surprised if this has already played a large behind the scenes role in the layoffs at Google/Microsoft.
Everyone I know is understaffed. I think the outcome is roadmaps deliver more reliably not reduce headcount.
How have people been thinking about licensing and attribution when it comes to using AI code assistance tools like this? In my personal work, I'm avoiding it since being trained on "publicly available code from GitHub" feels too risky for me if I were to say accidentally pull in GPL code to a private project.
