Nah, green is woke.

"if they're gonna steal, they should at least do it right" I mean, I can see how someone would want to think that, but I'm fine with them failing to steal.

I don't know the original author's opinions on AI, but I think it's still fair to say that it was clearly Copilot's goal to steal all the code and be good, and they had all the code, and so ethics aside one would expect them to have succeeded with flying colour at whatever their goals were, even if those were bad goals.

But they failed instead, which is impressive.

The fact that it can't even get PowerShell right when it should be intimately familiar with PowerShell commands and scripts is absolutely asinine.

I was using tabnine before copilot was even announced... they are the ones who fumbled this more than github.

Being the first mover doesn’t guarantee shit and never has.

Fucking linux nerds (that was for someone I just met on here). Anyway, yea, my company got three licenses for it, biggest waste of budget ever. I dunno what they clamped on top of open AI, but it's just terrible. It can't even parse a spreadsheet correctly.
