Kevin BeaumontIf you want an lol - Microsoft have implemented Copilot on its own GitHub repos and it’s a clusterfuck, you can see MS engineers publicly begging Copilot to work.

Gurre VildskäggThey're talking to it like it's a person and as if it has thought-out motivations and logic for doing what it does?!

@hazardius @Gurre @GossiTheDog There's probably statistics they use for the next stack ranking layoffs based on how often coders just reject the PR outright instead of trying to reason with it first.
Dustin Metzgar@timjclevenger @hazardius @Gurre @GossiTheDog +1, if it's not this, it's not far off. No exec will be fired for this massive waste of time either.
DMTom@hazardius @Gurre @timjclevenger @GossiTheDog and worse is that Meloon and his merry band of shitposters are forcefeeding Grok.gov with all of US secrets and banalities in preparation to do a similar stunt - but with your whole government!;) sleep well …
Urzl@Gurre @timjclevenger @GossiTheDog That's the interface as it's designed, not that there's any redemption to be found in it.
Working with CoPilot is like having a pair programmer who is wildly insane, didn't read the project documents and may or may not be a spy.
The syntax is usually solid, it's the logic and design that's absolutely bonkers.

If your pair programmer also randomly just made stuff up with absolute confidence all the time too, and also whenever they DO write something vaguely on task and don't make stuff up ---- they specialize in mistakes that are difficult to spot, because those are a quite common mistake found in online code samples.
And there's no fixing it. It's the basic underpinning of every LLM. It doesn't think, doesn't understand, it just assembles the most likely set of words and symbols based on what it's seen before.
And they're pouring billions of dollars and ridiculous amounts of energy in a desperate attempt to make a pig fly, all while lying to VC investors and the public that it's practically on the edge of sentience and TOTALLY understands stuff and they'll work it out soon! And then dragging in the results of other machine learning tools and pretending it's the LLM doing it, like it's a one-sized all problem solving machine.
George Liquor, American@Gurre @timjclevenger @GossiTheDog They have committed to the absurd notion that doing so will "make it smarter" lol, imagine believing that !

It's only a matter of time before they start trying to pray to the machine spirit.

If you're not wafting the incense across the keyboard and muttering a hymn as you commit to prod, are you even trying to get to go home on time?
Kevin Riggle@timjclevenger @GossiTheDog Every interaction I have with an LLM where I try to “correct” it just goes around and around like the world’s most infuriating merry-go-round
