  • alxgomz Le nom ne peut pas être vide (@alxgomz) reported

    @libreoffice @mirrorbrain I was download from France at a few tens kb/s but it was slow as well from github action runners. It now looks better at least from France. Will check but github builds again

  • l_i_n_e_a_r linear cannon 💙💛 (@l_i_n_e_a_r) reported

    @NoraDotCodes all of this said i don't necessarily think that means that github is approaching the copilot problem correctly or ethically. but the primary arguments i see are concerningly reductive to me, with regards to what i'm speaking of here

  • BaileyJM02 Bailey Matthews (@BaileyJM02) reported

    @hamxAhmd @github To be fair I don’t really see the issue. Spinning it around they spent $x on research and development to offer it to testers for free while they PMF tested and listened to feedback. I always knew it would be paid, I think it was quite obvious. Plus, students get it for free…

  • northperson33 joy, code witch (@northperson33) reported

    taking direct action against github copilot by writing terrible code for it to be trained on

  • notdetails Joel Califa (@notdetails) reported

    @jasonlong @pmarsceill I have a whole archive of my github work, basically ever issue I've written

  • nahuelwexd ナウエル (@nahuelwexd) reported

    @alex_takitani @thelinuxEXP Then there is GitHub Copilot, which if it only learned to code from GitHub there would be no problem, but it is able to spit out snippets of code from other projects in a copycat way, with license comments included... that's code stealing :)

  • r3fl3ct10nm4g1c neo (@r3fl3ct10nm4g1c) reported

    @ReinH @MIT hi can u guys fix the license plz why is github allowed to do this

  • DigiScoreERC DigiScore (@DigiScoreERC) reported

    @aulichmusic Hi John. So sorry to hear about that. It is frustrating. And agreed it’s a PyQT issue. We will keep looking into it this end. Please raise another issue on GitHub. We are keen to sort. 👍

  • erikengheim Erik Engheim (@erikengheim) reported

    @RomanianLibs That wasn't the normal Visual Studio code though. That was an Electron App they got when buying GitHub. And Microsoft frankly has a terrible story when it comes to APIs. Apple APIs are good because they use them themselves. Microsoft flagship isn't even Using MS APIs.

  • freeformz Edward 💉💉💉🇺🇦 Muller 👩🏽‍❤️‍👨🏼 (@freeformz) reported

    @mattly @github Is using something "learned" from the reading of an OSS code base a derivative work? That is the question. I don't really know the answer, but atm come down on the side of "it's not". Arguably the OpenAI system is much more exact in what it "extracts" from the code than a human.

  • l_i_n_e_a_r linear cannon 💙💛 (@l_i_n_e_a_r) reported

    @NoraDotCodes all of this said i don't necessarily think that means that github is approaching the copilot problem correctly or ethically. but the primary arguments i see are concerningly reductive to me, with regards to this problem

  • itsLIRAN Liran Cohen (@itsLIRAN) reported

    @pavlenex Oh this should be a good read.... I'm an abuser of GitHub issues... So I will try and learn from this.

  • reed_nrite Reed Enrite (@reed_nrite) reported

    @xsgames_ The console, the code, github issues

  • iamchelsofia Chelsofia (@iamchelsofia) reported

    It's always GitHub pages that be giving me issues. Netlify doesn't misbehave like this.

  • DanielMicay Daniel Micay (@DanielMicay) reported

    @rawkode @derickr Also, CoPilot is just a tool. GitHub's infringement would be distributing the machine learning model, etc. The infringement in terms of shipping the code generated from it would be by the people using CoPilot. That's their legal problem, not GitHub's legal problem.

  • DataHashWitch lissa (@DataHashWitch) reported

    @eatthebytes @penelope_zone @github I am paying for the product - I'm using a paid GitHub service. Even if I wasn't - they did not issue such an update. This was not made clear to people, and there was no opportunity to opt out beforehand.

  • asmcbain Alastair McBain (@asmcbain) reported

    @gsuberland IANAL, but from a user perspective it seems a hard sell that Copilot isn't separate from "the service." GitHub's perceived job is to host code, issue tracking, and wikis. A service that offers to help write code seems tangential, but separate from, project hosting. 🤷

  • matgrimm Mathias Grimm (@matgrimm) reported

    @klaraneumannova True. Maybe some smallers libs like an SDK or something small. Just pick one github issue and try to fix.

  • nvk DETERMINISTIC OPTIMISM (@nvk) reported

    @pavlenex @orionwl Fact that GitHub has abhorrent Issue moderation tools, this invite a lot of spam and trolls.

  • 00brujula Max (@00brujula) reported

    @GitcoinDAO @gitcoin hi. Can't login. Can't Even report the mistake. What could it be ? Already deleted cookies and updated My Mtmsk browser @github

  • asmcbain Alastair McBain (@asmcbain) reported

    @gsuberland I get that, yeah. However #1 is the problem, because didn't it spit out some code that was pretty much 99% (a few changed variable names or whatever) from code that was on GitHub? Seems to me in some cases it's no different from people who copy and paste from StackOverflow, etc.

  • notphilatall notphilatall (@notphilatall) reported

    GitHub copilot may be selling derivative works without due remuneration, but failed to plan for me submitting lots of terrible but reasonable-looking code in years past.

  • 0xshawnpang shawnpang.eth (@0xshawnpang) reported

    @mrbagonhead @FrancescoCiull4 yep! already been saving so much with github already... (not sure if you are like me - setting up a new *** organization just to use their github page everytime to save on server and CDN)

  • benediktms Benedikt S. (@benediktms) reported

    @Sneakernets @penelope_zone @github I think if the suggestions are general, not basically a copy/paste of a specific code base than it’s one. But I agree that if copilot suggest the exact code that is a license issue

  • thockin Tim Hockin (thockin.yaml) (@thockin) reported

    @BenTheElder @withgraphite Yeah, this is the same issue with Reviewable. And of course, Github has less than zero incentive to make this safer - they don't want me using a 3rd party tool. My fear is that I have "too much" access to things that I don't want to put in jeopardy.

  • megazone MegaZone (@megazone) reported

    @bbrala @penelope_zone @github No, GPL is not a memetic virus. If you read a bunch of GPL code to learn how to solve problems and then go write your own code, it doesn't automatically become GPL. Copilot is not just regurgitating existing code, it is learning concepts and suggesting bespoke code as needed.

  • knowsthingortwo Davis (@knowsthingortwo) reported

    @davidhemphill GitHub issue makes you forget your principles of being a decent maintainer. Fragile mindset. Why would you change your principles for someone?

  • schmichael Michael Schurter (@schmichael) reported

    It's like GitHub Issues and Pull Requests! Imagine you have a project and team with: 👩‍🔬 1 Lead 🧑‍💻10 Developers 🙃Infinite Issues to work on The Developers grab an Issue, submit a PR, and the lead reviews and merges them.

  • pavlenex Pavlenex (@pavlenex) reported

    What pisses you off the most when it comes to GitHub issues? Writing "The anatomy of a perfect GitHub issue" and I want to hear your traumas. People who threat issue as a "personal todo" or even worse a way to request edge-case features.

  • Sjark Lasse Meland (@Sjark) reported

    @sandertenbrinke @CoffeeGuard @davidfowl Well, it cares a bit. You can set it to not generate anything that already exist on github, but I guess it can get close enough that it might still be an issue.
