Why is GitHub giving copilot for free to everybody now? They had said it themselves that it costed a shit ton of money per user to run.

cause it does not work, so they will use you for training till it does
Sounds like nobody is using it so they're trying to increase adoption by pumping the user base.
Just say no kids. Say no to drugs...and surveillance software.
To get you hooked? Or to get more training data.
This. If you use it enough, eventually you can’t code without it
If you're not coding with AI, you're going to fall behind the productivity of your peers. It doesn't matter which one you use.
I just don’t agree with this tbh. More code != more productivity imo.
Although, thinking about it, I’ll concede that asking AI questions about syntax or debugging is WAY faster, so I guess there’s room for nuance. I was only thinking of the auto completion
Making an outline or exploring ideas to figure out how to implement what you want and planning are all powerful tools of ai
I can agree with that. I’m a bit jaded on AI because of the work I do at tech companies and having it pushed on me for every tiny thing, but it is without a doubt useful.
To collect data, kill competition, become a monopoly.
I say no.
And say no to chrome as well. It makes me sad to see that people in here use it :(
Você usa isso?
Because they have to compete with openai.
It’s not completely free, just a trial version with a limited number of requests. That seems to be the business model most AI companies (OpenAI, Anthropic, etc.) have settled on. The first few requests per day are free but if you want unlimited requests you need a subscription.
