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?

Microslop cope-pilot

[-] Railcar8095@lemmy.world 4 points 2 days ago

Good. Let's accelerate the transition to TempleOS.

[-] dethedrus@lemmy.dbzer0.com 8 points 2 days ago

Claude Copilot 365.

Add yet another layer of obfuscation to their terrible products and insanely bad branding.

[-] Tronn4@lemmy.world 4 points 2 days ago

Claude Copilot Series X One

Meanwhile, after installing Linux on my laptop last week and getting that set up, I'm in the process of backing up data on my desktop to do the same soon.

And what are the good non-github sites these days?

OK, cool, thanks. I'll check it out!

We got copilot reviewing our code at work

It mostly just finds typos and other things like that

Quite useless at anything else

[-] 1984@lemmy.today 27 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

My girlfriend is forced to use only Copilot at her work, and its just completely useless. She frequently posts me failed tasks it couldnt do. :).

Seems to be the worst Ai by far.

[-] 3abas@lemmy.world 4 points 2 days ago

GitHub copilot within visual studio is not bad actually, if it doesn't find anything to but typos then congrats your team is all competent senior developers...

It does cut down review time for juniors' work, and it's capable of implementing full features given the correct documentation and instructions. It's a useful tool that assists and doesn't replace competent developers.

[-] gravitas_deficiency@sh.itjust.works 4 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

Its only core competency is convincing idiot c-suites that they should force their org to use copilot

Like intelisence which has been doing it faster, more consistantly and offline since the mid 2000's?

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

Intellisense can review a 1000 line PR?

[-] MadPsyentist@lemmy.nz 2 points 2 days ago

Of course? Just as quick as it can candy colour the braces and highlight your references of your 1000 line pr

Klopilot - I'm sorry I think this only works in German

[-] boonhet@sopuli.xyz 3 points 2 days ago

Welllll

WC stands for Water Closet and I think Klo is short for Klosett?

The brits also call it the 'loo' which doesn't sound too far off from 'Klo' I think

So it's not actually that hard to infer what it means

To be fair I did take like 6 years of Deutsch in die Schule, aber ich habe alles vergessen + I'm not entirely sure we ever learned the word "Klo". Maybe we did.

[-] Tja@programming.dev 1 points 2 days ago

In the most German pedantic way: "in der Schule"

[-] boonhet@sopuli.xyz 1 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

Oh right, Dativ.

My excuse is that I come from a language background with no articles, so declension on articles are unnatural to me! In fact, articles are unnatural to me!

In Estonian, the noun cases for that word would be

kool

kooli

kooli

kooli

koolis

koolist

koolile

koolil

koolilt

koolini

koolina

koolita

kooliga

kooliks

We have 14 of those so we get to skip prepositions and thus only need to decline the noun itself and any adjectives in front of it (or behind it if you're writing a poem and it flows better that way, Estonian is very weird when it comes to actually sentence ordering the words in a)

Microslop Claude 365 please.

[-] favoredponcho@lemmy.zip 11 points 2 days ago

Microsoft Claude Copilot 365

[-] lmr0x61@lemmy.ml 20 points 3 days ago

I think Microsoft, as they often do, see the writing on the wall—the AI bubble bursting soon, taking AI-only businesses with them. What I see in this is a play to, at best, buy some extra good will with Anthropic so they can be first in line for the acquisition when the latter are tanking, or at worst (and more likely imo), get them dependent on Microsoft for revenue so that they have no other choice to be subsumed by them.

But I’ve been wrong about most economic/political predictions I’ve ever made, so we’ll see!

[-] ZoteTheMighty@lemmy.zip 14 points 3 days ago

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 2 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.

Like a virus you say?

[-] Tetsuo@jlai.lu 11 points 3 days ago

Great paywall. I guess I'm not reading this article.

And then La Verge will wonder why it can't keep readers on their website.

[-] 1984@lemmy.today 7 points 3 days ago

I didnt get a paywall myself actually. Mobile Firefox with ublock origin.

I wonder if the shift away from ChatGPT was due to their latest model using grokipedia to spew disinformation.

[-] spicehoarder@lemmy.zip 8 points 3 days ago

Microsoft is going to poison Claude with their shitty devs.

[-] rozodru@piefed.social 6 points 3 days ago

I think Anthropic has done a good enough job of poisoning Claude themselves within the past 4 to 5 months or so.

[-] homes@piefed.world 6 points 3 days ago

MS isnt' very good at isolating its experiments...
