If Microsoft is willing to put ads into your PRs via Copilot like this, imagine what they could put into your codebase itself with Copilot. Or what Microsoft could do, run, install, etc on/from your computer while running their Copilot

I think some spaces will try to retain their value by actively combating LLMs, in the same way they combat hackers and trolls, and if they don't, they'll naturally die. Several subreddits became AI slop submission repositories and

It's platform agnostic as long as your Copilot setup can create PRs on the platform your project is hosted on. Otherwise, it would just be Github with displayed ads and that would hurt the brand, so everyone gets ads.

It's time to make some money with Copilot and one way to do that is with partnerships. GitHub's docs and blog make use of and feature Raycast, and I'm willing to bet that's the result of a partnership, and not because so

An important aspect of comparison is that nobody is going to tell you that your surgery is noticeable or looks bad. Your friends, family, partners, coworkers, aren't going to say anything, neither are people you meet casually, certainl

I think it just needs to be efficient or small enough for companies to deploy their own models on their hardware or cloud, for more inference providers to come out of the woodwork and compete on price, and/or for optimized models to ru
