Copilot is just the program/subscription you use to run the LLM. You can choose between different models like ChatGPT, Claude, etc.

It's hard to prevent people from just going to the ChatGPT site and putting the code in there for help. Unless your employer completely locks down your workstation.
For me they provide a Copilot account and allow some models, not all. Better to give something, or people will use unsanctioned ways.

My employer uses some sort of proxy (provided by Microsoft, since we use Copilot) that ensures confidality of the code in some way.

Yeah, I use it too. For short bits it works fine. Easy to understand, easy to change if needed. Or to generate example code to understand some API. Vibe coding is a problem. AI-powered auto-complete works pretty well actually.

I think this also has to do with how executives are "big picture" people, who don't fuss over details. So maybe they care less about the issues with AI making up shit, because it doesn't have as much impact for them? While the lower ranks are expected to get the details right?

Fortnite is an amazing success. But only because of the rapid pace at which they add content. Which us burning out contractors all over. So yeah, I totally get why Tim wants to have AI generate all the content. No more pesky humans that are slow and expensive.

This right here. The fact he says it needs to go away means he does care. He wants to use AI for everything, but doesn't want to have to tell his customers. Because he knows it matters.

The Epic Game Store hasn't even made a dent in Steams popularity, and then he turns around and says bullshit like this. I don't think this guy understands his potential customers in the slightest.

At this point I feel like we need that Maya Hawk Stranger Things scoreboard meme to keep track of how many times an AI-bro has claimed AI is going to replaces devs within months and how many times it has actually happened. 😄

And just now I asked Claude Sonnet 4.5 to update all classes that inherit from something to change something, and it only updated 75% of the classes that needed it. Had to do the rest manually.
Still better than ChatGPT though, which only did 10% of the classes.

And don't get me wrong. I would love nothing more than it turning out these accounts are foreign bots/trolls. I just don't want to get all giddy and then it turns out there is actually a reason why that's not so. #FingersCrossed

As someone working on a service with IP-based geo-blocking I assure you we see this happen all the time where the IPDB is out of date and IP-ranges have moved countries. For some reason IPs in Spain are wrong all the time.
I'm not sure how the app store is determined. Maybe also historical IP?

I did see a report on how the country the account was created in was determined by IP-address. But IPv4 ranges are being traded and they didn't use historical data. The account created in the US in 2010, may have used an IP now in use in Nigeria. Wonder how much that skewed these results.

Prompting for generative AI is like describing the thing you want to an actual artist and have them create it for you. You are not the creative mind in this equation. You are just the "idea-guy". And with AI you even take the actual artist out of the equation.

It just occured to me that LLMs seem to swap the tasks of human and tool. Before humans did the work and you had some tool (spell-checker f.i.) that checked your work. Now the AI does the work and the human performs the "spell-check".

What's the benefit of doing this? As opposed to just sticking to localhost:<any port> ?

The HL3 announcement is why Cloudfare is down. Too many people trying to confirm if it's real of a hoax.

And not a single mention of @warframe.com one of the oldest succesful live-service games. But you did mention the First Descendant which clearly copies a lot of Warframe's systems.

I would argue the AI bubble is a little different. Here the base service (AI) takes an awful lot of resources to run, let alone develop. Nobody is paying anything near to the actual costs of running these services. I don't think many people will want to afford the real price if the bubble pops.
