I dont get the hate on #GithubCopilot. We should always encourage more ecosystem diversity in the AI space, especially around agents which let you use models from multiple vendors.

I would hate to see the space consolidate around #anthropic #openai #gemini only tools.

Also, my employer can pay for the frontier agents, but Github Copilot is the only affordable one among the four (especially the highest tier), and natively integrated into #Github.

@sandipb @liberty Besides, there is no #Anthropic or #OpenAI for me any more. Or Google " #Gemini " (a name they hijacked and bluewashed). There is only Ed #Zitron https://wheresyoured.at/

@bms48 @liberty I follow and read Ed Zitron, and agree with him a lot.
But that doesn’t mean I avoid or ignore one of the great technological leaps of our time, which I can see with my own eyes has made an incredible difference in my work

@bms48 @liberty There is a lot of corrections needed in the industry, but I am not important or influential enough to do anything about it. When a more sane path opens up, I will take it. And I will always root for and advocate open source options (25+ years Linux user here).

@sandipb @bms48 As long as you're not polluting open source code bases with more LLM-generated legal risk, all good by me!

@liberty @bms48 at this point, tbh, I less concerned with legal risks from AI generated code, and more concerned with process related risks.

opensource code bases are getting hammered by AI slop PRs. So much so, that many repositories are putting up walls which will end up affecting real users. e.g. "web of trust" based contributions, etc

@sandipb @liberty My response is to divest myself of GitHub as much as possible as from the view askew, it is a dying platform. One that cannot respect IP rights...
