  Meet GitHub Copilot - your AI pair programmer. https://copilot.github.com/ https://twitter.com/...

  We spent the last year working closely with OpenAI to build GitHub Copilot. We've been using it internally for months, and can't wait for you to try it out; it's like a piece of the future teleported back to 2021. https://twitter.com/...

  I'm not saying AI is going to doom us all, but the *flagship* example on https://copilot.github.com/ uses a float to store a monetary value, which is just plain wrong and would cause you no end of bugs and pain. https://twitter.com/...

  Welcome, @github Copilot — the first app powered by OpenAI Codex, a new AI system that translates natural language into code. Codex will be coming to the API later this summer. https://copilot.github.com/

  Introducing GitHub Copilot https://github.blog/... “Codex has broad knowledge of how people use code and is significantly more capable than GPT-3 in code generation, in part, because it was trained on a data set that includes a much larger concentration of public source code.”

• @nbashaw Nathan Baschez on x

  A) This is amazing B) This is gonna cause a lot of bugs. It reminds me of the Boeing 737 Max and Tesla Autopilot—there is a zone between “good enough to use” and “perfect” where AI actually harms performance. https://twitter.com/...

  One of my most unpopular opinions is that most current coding employment will be obsolete in a decade, and what we think of as standard low and mid-level coding today will soon be a shrinking career path/industry. https://twitter.com/...

• @woutercoekaerts Wouter Coekaerts on x

  @nickjshearer https://copilot.github.com/ now shows me sentiment.ts as the first example, which is not better. It adds a “urlencoded” header, but it's not actually url encoded. What if ‘text’ contains a ‘&’? You might even call that a security vulnerability. https://twitter.com/.…

  5 years ago: “While repetitive jobs will increasingly be automated by ML, creative jobs will always be dominated by people.” Today: https://copilot.github.com/ https://twitter.com/...

• @sama Sam Altman on x

  super excited about copilot. and optimistic that we (the field) will be able to 3 things more impressive than this by the mid 2020s. https://twitter.com/...

• @jimstewartson @jimstewartson on x

  I've done this with vanilla GPT3. It's messy af, but it'll do it. I bet this works well. Of course, this is only a couple steps away from getting AI to build AI, which is the moment we all become slaves to the robots and wait for the Singularity. 🥴 https://twitter.com/...

• @joepie91 @joepie91 on x

  Ahhh, yet another proprietary “code AI” system that is undoubtedly laundering open-source license violations by packaging them in a “machine learning model” wrapper. https://twitter.com/...

• @cherthedev Cher Scarlett on x

  Gatekeepers: “If you can't remember the syntax, you don't deserve to be here” Also gatekeepers: “Autogenerating the code is good” https://twitter.com/...

  Shit's getting interesting https://twitter.com/...

• @markrussinovich Mark Russinovich on x

  This is just one example of the power of GPT-3 and we are just at the beginning of AI being used to give human programmers super powers: https://twitter.com/...

• @jluan David Luan on x

  Congrats to the OpenAI, Microsoft, and GitHub teams on this pretty sweet set of results! Program synthesis is going to get really lit in the next few years, thanks in large part to scale. https://twitter.com/...

• @adversariel Ariel Herbert-Voss on x

  Copilot is great for automating the boring parts of programming like writing boilerplate components and frees up time + brainspace for the fun parts like system design. Stoked to share this more broadly and honored to be part of this crew. https://twitter.com/...

• @stevecla Steve Clayton on x

  Having seen a few demos of this, I can tell you. It. Is. Amazing. @github Copilot - Developed in collaboration with @OpenAI https://github.blog/... https://twitter.com/...

• @satyanadella Satya Nadella on x

  We're bringing the power of our collaboration with OpenAI to GitHub to help developers write code faster. https://twitter.com/...

• @fintanr Fintan Ryan on x

  Personal take - but I think @github Copilot is going to be one of the most revolutionary pieces of developer technology of the last few decades. https://twitter.com/...

• @woj_zaremba Wojciech Zaremba on x

  Copilot moves machines closer to humans by allowing to control computer with language input. Such an evolution started decades ago when humans upgraded punched cards with programing languages resembling English - from assembly to C to Python 🚀. https://www.cnbc.com/... https://tw…

• @stroughtonsmith Steve Troughton-Smith on x

  I love it. Expect this to become commonplace as programming languages get more and more abstracted from the hardware and AIs produce more and more complex code underneath. It's hard to imagine what programming will be like in 100 years time https://twitter.com/...

• @kelseyhightower Kelsey Hightower on x

  Good developers copy; great developers paste with AI. https://twitter.com/...

• @kevin_scott Kevin Scott on x

  Today, @GitHub, @OpenAI and @Microsoft launched a technical preview of GitHub Copilot. It's a great example of how advancements in #AI are producing powerful new tools to help developers write better code - and spur more creativity and innovation. https://copilot.github.com/

• @grady_booch Grady Booch on x

  Intriguing Not in the least what pair programming is all about, but nonetheless intriguing. https://twitter.com/...

• @perpetualmaniac Zach Vorhies on x

  Github launches AI tool to help you code. It's using the GPT-3 framework to suggest functions, unit tests and other things. Apparently it's really really good. https://github.blog/...

• @rothgar Justin Garrison on x

  You know it's AI because there are comments https://twitter.com/...

• @coryzibell @coryzibell on x

  I can't wait until it starts automatically reporting back to your manager in a snarky way. “Cory wrote like two lines and I did the rest.” https://twitter.com/...

• @sarah_edo Sarah Drasner on x

  This looks really interesting! Can't wait to take it for a spin. https://twitter.com/...

• @nandodf Nando de Freitas on x

  One of the long ongoing dreams of AI - a machine that does most of your low level coding. https://twitter.com/...

• @chriswallace @chriswallace on x

  Holy shit https://twitter.com/...

• @marius Marius Eriksen on x

  I'd be much more interested in an AI code review system. Do we have enough (public) training data for that? https://twitter.com/...

• @gdb Greg Brockman on x

  An AI pair programmer in your editor. Powered by OpenAI Codex, a new AI system which can convert from natural language to code with increasing reliability. Codex will be coming to our API later this summer. Will make it possible to build a new class of applications. https://twitt…

• @t_blom Tom Blomfield on x

  Oh wow. This feels genuinely game-changing. I've written so much (bad) boilerplate code in the past. https://twitter.com/...

• @jordannovet Jordan Novet on x

  i spoke with @kevin_scott, @natfriedman and @gdb to learn the how and why of the new GitHub Copilot feature, which suggests source code to add to a file while a person is programming. GitHub is accepting requests for access https://www.cnbc.com/...

• @sama Sam Altman on x

  Thanks @github for partnering with us on this—I'm so excited and think it will change how people program. https://www.cnbc.com/...

• @bloodyowl Matthias on x

  Shit, we've just been deprecated https://copilot.github.com/

• @patrickc Patrick Collison on x

  Very neat: https://copilot.github.com/
