Oh, didn’t realize this. Had a rolling sub which I never bothered to cancel as I very occasionally watch with mates, but have now cancelled it.

It hurt itself in its confusion doing exactly as it was told by the orange diaper man

Like Leonid Brezhnev’s eyebrows

An advertising company are advertising at you? Whatever next?

Yeah, it’s a lot of admin for most small providers to be bothered with. Less of a hit to just block the whole UK.

If your product manager is capable of destroying your production data by accident with shitty ai code then you have fundamental infrastructure issues that made such data loss inevitable.

How about you Prime Video subscription?

Yes, we have it

Great! Let’s watch

You have to pay £12.99 for it

What? I already pay you monthly! Why?!

Because fuck you.

I did, thank you. Terms therein like “they spend more time prompting the AI” genuinely do not apply to a code copilot, like the one provided by GitHub, because it infers its prompt based on what you’re doing and the context of the file and application and creates an autocomplete based on its chat completion, which you can accept or ignore like any autocomplete.

You can start writing test templates and it will fill them out for you, and then write the next tests based on the inputs of your methods and the imports in the test class. You can write a whole class without any copilot usage and then start writing the xmldocs and it will autocomplete them for you based on work you already did. Try it for yourself if you haven’t already, it’s pretty useful.

Ai-only vibe coders. As a development manager I can tell you that AI-augmented actual developers who know how to write software and what good and bad code looks like are unquestionably faster. GitHub Copilot makes creating a suite of unit tests and documentation for a class take very little time.

I can see this comic being abused so much. Love it.

The problem is that the producer’s business model is based on making and selling copies. You’re not taking an original work, no, but you’re also not paying for the produced content.

Let’s expand the pig analogy.

A farmer has a sow and any piglets that it has are for sale. You steal a piglet. You haven’t stolen the original sow, but you have stolen the piglet you now have because you didn’t pay for it.
