At that rate I’d run my own model

#5The moment I can train Copilot on my codebase and improve its predictions, I’d gladly pay more than $20. Even now, I find that I can’t live without it simply as a slightly more intelligent auto-complete.

#6Copilot is useless compared to chat-gpt4. There's really no comparison. As far as the costs, it seems like transmitting things repeatedly would be more expensive than the chat model where you just transmit things when you want them.

Yeah, I really, really want to be able to configure copilot to explicitly include directories to scan in addition to its built-in corpus of knowledge. That would increase its worth to me a lot.

I've used some prototypes that tried it. One of the things it does it regurgitate the old patterns you want to stop using and not the new stuff you do. Basically it's a copy pasta tech debt generator.

#9They're trying to corner the market and betting on the running costs of these models going down substantially in the future.

#10How came that usually privacy-minded hn crowd uses run-by-someone-else models so cheerfully and carelessly?
You do realize any data sent to MS/openai/anyone will be stored forever and probably be used against you in the (near) future?
