One may want an open source tool for such a foundational requirement. One may decide that it’s too unstable or dangerous to base one’s primary tools in proprietary software land. I have precisely this concern in my fields of work.

Well, heck, you can shrivel it down to ONE employee and then fire them, if you just wanna tank Twitter. It seems like the sorta crackhead move we have come to expect from mister attention whore extraordinaire. He’s in a competition of some

Says you. If it’s all just disposable code, WHY ISNT MICROSOFT TRAINING COPILOT ON WINDOWS AND OFFICE CODE?

“Their largely replaceable code” Smells like: “ I stole this lousy apple that wasn’t any good” Then why did you steal it? Put your money where your mouth is, Microsoft, train copilot on your own code!!! Don’t wanna train it with windows 11

It’s a net harm for the programmers whose code is being willfully plagiarized. It’s a net boon for Microsoft in their efforts to rule the world. It’s a net loss for society and ethics. Open up copilot code, Microsoft, if you are so sure tha

Plenty of living musicians today have this capability. It turns out that humans can extrapolate generalisms to a degree we are currently unable to explain clearly enough as a model to imitate. It turns out that much ML is merely referenced

I hope I shall never be forced to call a Microsoft product a person. I find your entire implied world view to be a cheap parody of the rights living beings inherently should have. If we get to the point that capitalist maximalist-utilitaria

Yes, copilot IS copying code verbatim from GitHub hosted repos, right now. The license and attribution are stripped from regurgitated copied code snippets. Verbatim with no context, no attribution, no citation, no reference to the project i

IF they attributed the code snippet to the project they ripped it off from!! But they deliberately don’t tell you thst… it’s just a code snippet floating in space like they invented it

You are willfully ignoring thst the article absolutely DID address this point! The license and attribution are stripped from regurgitated copied code snippets from code projects. If the people don’t known which project the code was taken fr

I see your statement as an inversion of consensus reality. What actual coder would use copilot? A beginner or dabbler. I predict your attempt at tactically “managing” this copilot scandal will not play well on HN to experienced coders, your

Mmm maybe rephrase that as “depending upon which entity’s copyright was violated” Surely I don’t need to recite the last 50 years of tech legal precedent and case history for you to see that such a blanket generalization cannot be left una

It’s not about “learning” at all, copilot spits out copyrighted licensed code verbatim directly copied from the source to your project in violation of specific and multitudinous repositories. They are making rips of other peoples stuff, s

Your assertion thst copyright doesn’t matter and that people should “get used to it” is… pretty incorrect on the former (surely there are still pending copyright suits on earth circa 2022) and ill-conceived on the latter (I’ll just rob your

You should read the article before commenting. The WAY it was done with copilot is the problem: no attribution, just shoving all legal liability off on the end “programmer” without providing the attribution required TO COMPLY WITH LICENSES

I sense deflection and an attempt to change the point being made above your response. It’s particularly unethical to promise a badly thought out goal that cannot be meaningfully achieved in the interests of drawing out financial support for

If companies choose to use proprietary software for needs that FOSS can and has served well for years, it would seem that those companies are cutting their own legs. I speak primarily of Slack and Zoom and other “low hanging fruit” of alrea

Funny, bad drivers are one of the reasons I left windows. Even needing drivers for class compliant USB audio was a dealbreaker

Except that windows is demonstrably a less smooth solution these days, regardless of Linux even existing. Windows just sort of fell over and started stabbing itself and bleeding all over the floor, so a dead windows is just no use at all. T

I don’t think it’s so tricky to analyze: they’ve deliberately sent weapons that are effective for liberation of Ukrainian territory and not sent weapons appropriate for conquesting Russia with. Germany has its own inner soul struggle rega

Your statements are not backed up with either public communication or a lack of monetary support. In fact, the US just sent over a billion more $ in military aid. Think again.

Speculation city, and Biden did clarify precisely a response to that a few days ago. The strength of the response depends upon the relative strength of the attack. Putin has been threatening nuclear holocaust for months now, and he would
