Software engineers at Microsoft are now expected to use both Claude Code and GitHub Copilot and give feedback comparing the two, I’m told. Microsoft sells GitHub Copilot as its AI coding tool of choice to its customers, but if these broad internal pilot programs are successful, then it’s possible the company could even eventually sell Claude Code directly to its cloud customers.

Guys? Are we going to have to rename Microsoft products from Copilot to Claude soon?

Microsoft Claude 365?

If there's any company that will survive the bubble, it's Anthropic. They're the only company with a product, a business model, and customers that see long-term value in it.

[-] Damage@feddit.it 6 points 3 days ago

This is true. But remember that Microsoft has an incomprehensible amount of money and if the bubble bursts Anthropic may survive but not at the same value.

[-] jaxxed@lemmy.world 3 points 3 days ago

Their product may be one of the best, but they are more expensive, and they have no hope of making enough revenue to float their business.

MS and Google float their AI with their other profits, so it can work as a business model.

OpenAI is the one doing 800 billion dollar deals and buying all the memory in the world

[-] dreamkeeper@literature.cafe 1 points 2 days ago

Lol. They made some "deals" based on hope and a dream. In reality they are still posting net losses.

By the way, I have the very best bridge in the world to sell you. Interested?

I’m sorry if my comment came across as supporting OpenAI. That was definitely not my intention 😆

Point was that they’re spending trillions and crashing the PC parts market and still firmly in the second place

[-] jaxxed@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago

Is there anybody left who thinks that openai is going to survive? I don't think it has 6 months of life left.

[-] lepinkainen@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago

It’s a weird money circle where companies spend money they don’t have for products that don’t exist and the money just goes round and round.

At some point someone will come asking about where the money actually is.

[-] ThomasWilliams@lemmy.world 3 points 3 days ago

They are tiiny and losing money by the skip full.

I doubt Google couldn't easily kill Anthropic by expanding their Antigravity project.

[-] ZoteTheMighty@lemmy.zip 2 points 3 days ago

Antigravity is only rarely useful in software development.

[-] kadu@scribe.disroot.org 6 points 3 days ago

The same could be repeated verbatim for any other AI agent.

Its almost like everyone building this shit at one point in the past 5 years called themselves a "software developer" and might have a good insight as to what that job entails. Posibly why LLMs are kinda competent at the job of development, they are being built by 1000's of ex software developers.

Probably wont be good at law or chemistry because the people building it have a felon musk level of understanding about those jobs.
