Yahoo: welcome to the club

That's the speciality of MicroSlop they also fumbled Skype and maybe more that I don't know

It is impressive how I almost always hear about Claude stuff for paid programming services and never copilot. Normal search engine replacement stuff, I'll hear almost exclusively about people using ChatGPT and Gemini. Then people self hosting, I'll hear all the free stuff like Deepseek, Kimi, Qwen, ...

People just talk trash about copilot. I swear even Proton Lumo gets less heat and when people want upgrades, they're all urging Proton to add the latest Deepseek, Qwen, Kimi, etc models to their algorithm. Microsoft has got to have one of the most hostile to themselves customer base to be rivaled only by companies like Oracle

One reason why the LLM playing field is kind of levelled and "being first" isn't all too meaningful, is that the research was already out there for quite some time before the hype started.

The hype got kicked off, when these large corporations figured out that pouring lots of money into this approach does something. Well, and when there were lots of cheap GPUs on the market from cryptocurrencies imploding.

But as soon as the hype was there, getting investors to give you lots of money and getting GPUs, that's something virtually any company could do.

Having said all that, the other points still stand and they probably could've held their position without even being the best platform. Nevermind especially that Microsoft is most certainly getting lots and lots of investment money for LLMs, too.

OpenAI's vastly inferior LLM sends its regards

The only thing worse than Github fumble is still posting nazi network screenshots.

Just steal the joke - there has never been a more socially acceptable "theft" than this and you still pussy out.

It's microsoft technology, you are expecting too much.

I'm under the impression that Github Copilot was just using an earlier version of OpenAI codex. They didn't fumble because they were never a shovel factory, they were always a shovel reseller.

It wasn't by design?

Not a fumble. They weren't building copilot to help people, they were building it to flex.
