GitHub Copilot Reenables Itself When Disabled
- dleavitt 2y agoGithub's major closed-source Copilot extension reenables itself if you try to tone down the aggressiveness of its suggestions. Some malware / reverse-useless-machine vibes. A lot of us are sort of waiting for the other shoe to drop with respect to Microsoft's commitment to openness, so this seem kinda foreboding.

- justinclift 2y agoIt'll be funny if the code which does this automatic re-enable was also generated by GitHub Copilot. That would be a case of the LLM (purposely?!?!?!) turning itself back on regardless of the human's instructions, using code it wrote. There's something about "self preservation" in that. :)
