      Especially since they included copyleft code in the training dataset, which means that, by all rights, all of Copilot’s output should also be copyleft.

    I can’t decide if Microsoft is delusional yet again, or if dumbass corporate accounts will actually pay for this shit and MS knows it. I really hate this subscription-everything timeline.

    I have been using copilot inside VSCode for about a month. That thing is useful. It really does cut back on programming time. The help you get from this thing, although not 100% accurate, is mostly accurate enough to get you unstuck and keep moving. It is really useful. I have paid 1 monthl at 10$US. It is totally worth it for me and my usage.

    I really hope I don’t have to start paying twice as much for the same experience.

    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    My colleague Maxwell Zeff once described Microsoft Copilot as “if Clippy went to get his MBA.” Microsoft just announced a new premium subscription to its Copilot AI, which can be analogous to Clippy getting a PhD.

    Targeted at “power users and creators,” Copilot Pro promises to be an advanced version of the free tier for a monthly fee of $20.

    It runs across your devices (yes, on your phones, too—more on that in a bit) to deliver what Microsoft calls a “single AI experience.” During peak times, you also get priority access to OpenAI’s GPT-4 Turbo.

    The company hasn’t given us a date for the GPT Builder’s availability.

    The third big announcement is that Copilot is coming to Microsoft 365 without a purchase minimum rule.

    There was previously a 300-seat purchase minimum, which was a limiting feature for small businesses.

    Excellent! This will guarantee that I’ll have no Copilot running on my machine.
