Yo, Copilot moving to a paid model?

They were smart, let us use it for free for a while then grow a dependence and BAM, need to pay.

With recent Telegram update, they did the similar thing, put bunch of features behind the pay wall.

I don't think it's smart, but rather a regular (no brainer) business decision.

They never said it was free forever, and they too have to make money.

With co-pilot, what sucks is that they used open source to build/train their model and now monetising it.

Paying for copilot is like paying Satya Nadella to take a fat shit on my chest.

No thanks, I don't like Satya Nadella and I don't want his shit.

I’ve still never used it.

If copilot has a trial or something, I’ll give it a try. I’m curious.

Honestly though, Sublime recommending me things I’ve typed before in a similar context is amazing — and probably all that I want anyway?

@Root they have a 60 day trial right now. It comes in handy every now and then say for sorting or destructuring, it's quite intelligent

free for students and open-source, it says.

Makes sense, if you're an employee and your company is using someone's else code for commercial purposes, better pay something to avoid possible lawsuit.

It's still affordable as Microsoft has a $10 billion investment in OpenAI.

@theabbie That's just so that MS can replace Cortana with Clippy 2.0 at some point.

@Frederick Like SO copy/paste without even realising it. Fuckup 2.0.

There's also similar service called Tabnine

@Floydimus @sariel @Root @lopu @theabbie @Fast-Nop @Frederick @Fast-Nop @Frederick @Frederick @Pogromist

Guys it’s FREE for the people who contribute in open source!

So if you are contributing to open source projects, you can apply for free license 😎

@Frederick future of humanity, especially with tech, never looked bright my lad.

@Frederick majority of tech applications are for unethical use, because corporate greed.
