Kind of impressive when you think about it

Microsoft never fails to disappoint

Their idea was that OpenAI was so far ahead of the competition no one could ever catch up. Turns out they weren’t and now they’re at the bottom.

It’s weird because copilot in office tries to push agents on you as if it were a Jehovah’s witness. So GitHub copilot doesn’t have them? I don’t really use that.

It is impressive how much better claude is than copilot specifically for coding. Like… how much bullshit is in Windows to learn off of, let alone github.

I see this as proof of how bad LLMs actually are. You have an AI trained on essentially humanity’s collective programming library. Languages of machines and computers. The result should be ungodly and near perfection. If there was any semblance of understanding in AI, it should be revealed in it’s capability to produce code. Although… I can definitely see Microsoft thinking that their code is the example of perfection and training copilot on that rather than github.

“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.

And fail to keep GitHub running with 99% uptime in the meantime

Microsoft could have been king with with chatgpt for personal superapp, github copilot for developers and something like sharepoint/power vibe widgets. But nooo, they make windows recall when ai models can’t run locally

It is truly, deeply amazing how bad Microsoft is. Proton on Linux is FASTER than the actual directX it’s emulating is on windows. They got beat at their own instruction layer.

If agentic LLMs are the prize, I’d be fine with losing.

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.

I mean, Microsoft’s biggest mistake was shoving it in front of everyone’s faces. The real reason that all the other “agentic BS” is received well is because the people who use them have an actual use case, or, are very enthusiastic about the technology and enjoy messing with it. Thus the discussion is mostly from that small group of people who will have something positive to say. The truth is, that all the models and harnesses suck for most use cases that most people have. When you shove it in front of a general audience and make them interact with it, then the discussion will be about how bad it is.

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

you literally have access to all the code in the world I’d like to believe that they were honorable enough to not secretly train on code without people’s permission. But realistically they totally did exactly that, but just made the AI Model this incompetent through some other engineering blunder. Also, random side thought - training only on public repos probably yields you way higher code quality as opposed to training on both public and private repos? I assume we all have some very messy private repos that we’re too embarrassed to publish because the code quality is absolute shit … right?

That’s Microsoft. They got desktop PCs. They repeatedly failed to get mobile, they repeatedly failed to get portable, they never had embedded, they had fucking Skype at one point. They drink gold and piss nickel, Microsoft.

Lol! Be like GitLab instead: 1 - Be the underdog with good reputation in a market completely monopolized; 2 - Have the incumbent self-destruct by vibecoding its product and pushing AI above every other feature to its customers; 3 - Loudly announce that you are leaving your past good behavior behind, and that you are betting everything on vibecoding and pushing AI to your customers!

They had Skype! It was the verb for video calling for god's sake! How do you LOSE so BADLY so CONSISTENTLY and STILL have investors.

Just like Skype getting lapped by Zoom during COVID

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

So what do we use now? I just wrote a tiny bit of code, a cute little GLSL shader than generates some shapes in a Voxel modeling tool I like. Would love to share it. Most of the shaders I use were found on GitHub. I was going to use GitLab but then realized it was like a second life bar of the same GitBoss. I have no idea where to host my little scripts now.
