In all seriousness, I was using a different LLM with vscode, and it still kept popping up dialogs about copilot. This is after I had uninstalled the copilot extensions (or at least I tried to uninstall it all).

I'd love for the IDE's like cursor to be able to be an extension on vscode and such, but this type of thing makes it super hard for that to be a reality.

Can people currently in these companies tell me why the companies are forcing people to use AI? I understand offering as an option, the constant forced opt-ins is leading to obvious fatigue...

To grow revenue. If it’s an option, it is less likely to be bought versus including it and increasing prices to get towards growth goals.

Tech wants the growth, companies consuming this want to be able to do more with less people. The result is the current experience.

(TLDR line go up)

I had to sort by "Top: last year" to see two Copilot-related issues at the top. They are: - https://github.com/orgs/community/discussions/159749 - https://github.com/orgs/community/discussions/169148

Thank you. I included the url params when I made the post, but it appears that HN strips these.

Can't make a bubble without generating a lot of froth.

To attract more investment, because it's the hottest trend. They don't care if it actually works and profits.
