Taking our public knowledge without consent, and selling it back to us, should be illegal
(PS: where are all the people who were pretending to care about abolishing copyright exclusively when it benefitted the AI corporations? I guess they can't concern troll here...)
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.
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.
