Not op - as far as I can tell they weren't particularly warcrimey for WW2.
They killed a bunch of German POWs during the invasion of Sicily and killed 20 civilians while burning down a town for a supposed civilian killing a commander (turned out it was an enemy combatant).
Both deeply abhorrent but not "inventing new crimes"
Oh hey it's the guy who's definitely not an egg. Definitely not. He just finds excuses to dress up like a woman all the time to make fun of trans people.
He definitely hates doing it. Ew. Yuck. Haha so funny look at men wearing women's clothes. Haha let's film another. Ooh let my try on this cute sports bra....
Oh I'm 1000% in agreement with you. I think Copilot for programming is more expensive than it's worth right now, both for my employer and for Microsoft.
OpenAI et al have done nothing to address the fundamental issue of hallucinations. In code hallucinations are pretty quickly evident: your IDE immediately throws up error highlights whenever the code complete fucks up.
The latest open AI model is to chain together a computational centipede to try and create reasoning structures out of stochastic processes. It takes longer and still doesn't fix the issues. In their own demo video there are clear bugs with the "code" their 4o model writes.
You'll have assertions that are entirely new or different, other pieces of setup or teardown. It really is one of the best use cases for GH's Copilot that I've run across.
In my day to day the intellij autocomplete is what I prefer.
Yeah my usage of it is similarly limited. But the plagiarism engine is more useful than it is annoying in my experience. Especially in writing kdoc or unit test variations. Write one, write the name of the next, have autocomplete fill it out with the expected conditional variation
The plagiarism engine effect is exactly what you need for a good programming tool. Most problems you're ever going to encounter are solved and GenAI becomes a very complex code autocomplete.
An LLM constructed only out of open source data could do an excellent job as a tool in this capacity. No theft required.
For writing prose it's absolutely trash, and everyone using it for that purpose should feel ashamed.
And I don't see them serving Panda Express in Beijing. The point is not authenticity it's that different cultures take what they perceived to be another culture's food and bend it to their preferences.
But mostly I was making a joke because of its name.
As a programmer my soft skills are as important as my hard skills. I've never worked on software alone: coordination, coherent and clear communication, collaboration. It's all integral to the role.
I believe it is most of what has led to me being promoted up to staff eng level. I'm very good technically but so are many other engineers.
I am not! I hadn't heard of it until just now. Very neat project.
No I'm just someone with a particular interest in corvids who feels represented by a god of Thought that is a bird
