Linux lays down the law on AI-generated code, says yes to Copilot, no to AI slop, and humans take the fall for mistakes — after months of fierce debate, Torvalds and maintainers come to an agreement (www.tomshardware.com)

I suppose GitHub Copilot is meant, which is a different thing.

[-] Senal@programming.dev 12 points 5 days ago

Different how, isn't github owned by microsoft ?

[-] lepinkainen@lemmy.world 27 points 5 days ago

There are like 70 copilots

The hell. How can they expect people to understand ? They plan to sell 100 things under the same name and try to sell it as one big AI when it is hundred of différents things unrelated ?

[-] JcbAzPx@lemmy.world 1 points 3 days ago

They've never been good at naming things, but they now seem to be going out of their way to try to be the worst with the names of their software. For instance, they named the successor to the already generically named "remote desktop protocol" "windows app".

This one is funny. Go google windows app commands. They just fucked sysadmins

[-] Senal@programming.dev 4 points 4 days ago

Ok, so there are 70-81 copilots, github is one of them.

Why is github copilot a different thing in the context of the reply that was being responded to ?

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

Copilot is the harness, Claude and GPT are the models

Copilot is by far the worst harness of all the major players

[-] Senal@programming.dev 1 points 4 days ago

Yes, i get that, copilot is like opencode or cursor, though perhaps with less general access to models.

There was a reply

Copilot? You mean the AI with terms of service that are in bold and explicit: “for entertainment purposes only”?

i was asking why github copilot is different in that context.

[-] dev_null@lemmy.ml 2 points 3 days ago

Different in that it's not an AI model, it's just a tool you can use to run AI models like Claude.
