This is cool to see. I'd love to try it out and see how useful it is for me to do my job but I don't think it's likely that I'll be able to do that soon. I think eventually I will be using this every day just like I use lots of other tools.

Remember the comments about artists and creatives when DALL-E came out? I remember.

Yes. The privacy concerns are huge. With that said, id use the shit out of this for open source development where privacy is not a concern.
Instead you have legal concerns when you are re-licensing code you don't know where it comes from. Someone could have published a snippet of code with retained copyright (not FOSS) and GPT-4 slurped it up, splitting it back to you and somehow the law firm representing the author comes across it.
It managed to write, in one shot, a working λ-calculus parser, using a very specific programming style I asked it in JavaScript, and then translated it all to Python, including sarcastic, rhyming GLaDOS comments. https://twitter.com/VictorTaelin/status/1635726202231988225 It also seems to be extremely competent at writing Agda types and proofs. We need some tool that highly integrates it with entire codebases, allowi…
Any concerns about sending code directly to a third party? I’m very hesitant to use any tool that is sending my assets to the cloud to be used who knows how.
This is one of the reasons I'm so excited about being able to run large language models on my own laptop. I've managed to get LLaMA to generate snippets of Python code already, and with some fine tuning I imagine it could become equivalent to Copilot. https://til.simonwillison.net/llms/llama-7b-m2#user-content-...
What if you added a type annotation to filename as Path?
That's cool and all, but can it do "in this existing code, please amend this feature"? Also useful, "please cover this code with meaningful unit tests"?
Yes, it can do both of those things. I've done a bunch of stuff with ChatGPT where I've pasted in code and asked it to make changes. The main limit there is the token limit - 8,000 I think for ChatGPT - so I'm very much looking forward to experimenting with the increased 32,000 limit when that becomes available. I write tests for my code using Copilot a bunch - sometimes by pasting in the code I want to test and star…
2. But like, you still have to write tests though? If I need to think and check what the generated tests are doing, I'd rather write them myself to be honest. I want the time-consuming parts automated, not typing code. Maybe I am in minority. Surely generating 99% complete unit tests should be some sweet-spot for ChatGPT? I would imagine this AI can ignore halting problem, and somehow traverse all possible states anyway?

- Automated relations, whether with your employer or a customer, are trivial
- These relations can be fine-tuned for exactly the level of syncophancy your boss prefers
- So yes, it can tell your boss their ideas are good in precisely the masochistic, self-deprecating way, etc.
