OpenAI is developing alternative to Microsoft's GitHub
- varun_ch 8mo agoIt’s unclear if the article is talking about a hosted service or something ‘self hostable’. > Employees working on it have considered making the code repository available for purchase to OpenAI's customer base. This makes it sound like the ‘product’ is a self hostable git web interface/forge(like Gitea, ForgeJo etc), which would be interesting.

- locknitpicker 8mo agoAs the service provides a GitHub alternative to be packed with data likely generated by LLMs, a fitting name would be: slop bucket.
- SturgeonsLaw 8mo agoBucket's too nice a vessel, I've seen some decorative buckets that look kinda neat. Slop Trough? Slop Pit? Push your commit to the team's Slop Hole?

- syntaxing 8mo agoI hate how it doesn’t even mention git in the article. That being said, they have a boatload of money. It would be so much h quicker to acquire someone like Gitlab and slap an OpenAI theme on it.
- moezd 8mo agoPlease don't give them any ideas. The last thing we need is to be pressured to select from 1) GitHub from Microslop, 2) Gitlab with that AI sticker, 3) Self-hosted pain.
- locknitpicker 8mo ago> It would be so much h quicker to acquire someone like Gitlab and slap an OpenAI theme on it. Please don't. GitLab is one of the few good services out there. Don't sacrifice it at the altar of the AI cargo cult.
- smrtinsert 8mo agoGreat stuff. My local coyotes are also offering chicken coop services free of charge.
- andrewstuart 8mo agoHave you noticed most of the big LLM do not have direct access to GitHub? You have to download the repo and give it to the LLM to process. OpenAI knows there’s nothing more important to AI than that giant pile of code. The founders of GitHub -whatever they got - left 99% of the money on the table.
- mandeepj 8mo ago> The founders of GitHub -whatever they got - left 99% of the money on the table. They weren’t visionaries then? They bailed out way before anyone imagined this AI mania.
- timpera 8mo agoIt would be great to have more serious, corporate-backed, centralized competitors to GitHub. The latter's lack of reliability lately is getting disrespectful for their users.
