#22Could they use the blurb of text at the top to give me like... a noun to describe what this is? It just says some vagueness about the future and investigating and exploring. Is it a conference? A team? An initiative? How does it work? Whatever this is supposed to be selling me on, they're doing a terrible job because I can't figure out what it is!

#23If the web implementation of git could be as federated/decentralized/open as git is so that GitHub didn't exist, that would be my ideal "GitHub-Next". Please eliminate yourselves.

It was trained on all public repos, and only public repos. They did not pay attention to licensing.
Wow, that's crazy. Do we have something official that says as much?
You can read between the lines

> In one instance, GitHub Copilot suggested starting an empty file with something it had even seen more than a whopping 700,000 different times during training–that was the GNU General Public License.

This indicates that they are training it on github's public repositories and at the very least including 700,000 GPL licensed projects or code files. Since the GPL is one of the most "restrictive" open source licenses one can assume they are not caring about the licenses much.

It's infuriating, when you are large enough you can get away with anything when it comes to copyright violations but I remember the crazy pushback on things like format and time shifting against private individuals.
Those things were ultimately ruled as fair use though which is what Microsoft is claiming here as well.

Did they add this in the last 40 mins?
I'm seeing a pretty good description:
" GitHub Next investigates the future of software development. We explore things beyond the adjacent possible. Tools and technologies that will change our craft. New approaches to building healthy, productive software engineering teams. "

Those things were fair use, what Microsoft is doing is copyright violation pure and simple.

It exists for Neovim or jetbrains.

Maybe, but then every large AI project is also committing copyright violations because as Microsoft notes this is currently a common practice in the AI research community.
