> GitLab plans to improve its customers' DevSecOps workflow efficiency by 10x, by applying AI-assisted workflows I'm also planning to improve my fitness by 10x from tomorrow. Using AI obviously! But today let me eat this pizza
AI assisted pizza?
Gitlab cannot compete alone with Github copilot and their other AI offerings, so they bring in Google. Smart, if obvious, move.
It looks like they're picking their suitor now. Google could certainly take a page from the Nadella playbook and use them to bolster their third place cloud offerings. GCP needs an ecosystem of developer tools to give it a shot in the arm.
I predict that the same thing is ultimately going to happen with HuggingFace and the smaller clones (Replicate, etc.) They'll pick a tech giant to partner with, accept a large investment, and eventually look into an acquisition.
Didn't Replit just partner with Google, too?
Maybe Gitlab can use AI to get their uptime > 90%
They need to make sure not to give it terminal access. It might delete a DB or something from prod [1]. It took a lot of effort to write this with a straight face. Ultimately, I failed. [1] https://about.gitlab.com/blog/2017/02/01/gitlab-dot-com-data...
Assuming that nothing has changed or was learnt since that incident is a pretty uncharitable reading.

Who gets bought by Amazon?
All of the links go to some fishy domain c212.net which is blocked by µblock lists.
Bizarre choice for a domain huh, googlecloudpresscorner.com… With all the domains in the world, they pick one that almost looks fake. Why not presscorner.google.com? (Or why not their TLD…) Anyways, I look forward to some new improvements in Gitlab. Seems a little vague on the details, but I think some different flavors of LLMs should prove interesting. Seems likely it’d spit out different results than what OpenAI mi…

While this is indeed a very bad incident, this is also 6 years old at this point. Assuming that nothing has changed or was learnt since that incident is a pretty uncharitable reading.

Of course "Explain this vulnerability" does not exactly sound like a compelling use case. This press release is hot garbage that adds to Google's problems instead of solving them by being bland, vague, hand wavy, and unspecific.
I think MS has a the vastly superior play here with e.g. co-pilot, partner ships with openai, and a lot of people already using gpt 4 powered plugins in their IDEs.
The right level of ambition for Google & Gitlab would be "Create a pull request to address this vulnerability" or how about "Review this pull request". Gpt 4 can do code reviews with the codeGpt plugins for vs code and intellij. And it actually finds stuff when you do that.
Or they can just wait for MS to roll that out with Github. I have no inside information as to whether they are planning any such thing. But it's an obvious move and they have a lot of the pieces needed for doing a decent effort for that. Including AI that is more than a press release, actually works, and is being used productively by real developers already.
Why does every press release from Google read like "The dog ate my homework. Again.", lately?

Also, Google lost the bid on Github when MS acquired them and Gitlab is the next best thing for them to partner with.
