u seem to be the only one who used it here - how did it compare to opus and gpt5.5? in theory it should be at least on par if not better at times right.

how come? this is a very weird take- why is the focus on ppl suffering instead of like fairness or capital / market efficiency ?

Would you explain this - " I'm starting to think we would get more done if nobody on my team used Copilot." ?

Interesting to see if you why you see it destructive. I can certainly see that a lot of the times, copiloted solutions are working but less than ideal

don't agree with your logic at all - agree with your conclusion. your logic is deeply flawed - a) you've to justify mediocre engineers not been necessary, the mechanism they are pushed out by LLM matters. b) relative ranking is useless - it's the difference between absolute ability and that is close for say top 50% most likely. This might mean half of us will lose jobs, and half see compensation pressured but it's not as certain as your argument make it out to be.

it's actually easy to be turing complete. it's a feat for a system to be non-turing complete and be "complex".

does your pricing take account of cached vs uncached token?

they are doing it through state investment vehicles - so it's in the same way US companies can (but won't)

is it a net-win for the company? Are the AI-TOD any good?

what would you say the disconnect was? Was it a simple case of that your teams' not comfortable with merging AI code?

nothing foolish about trying even if he too thinks it's inevitable. it's foolish however to think that there won't be nuances of such a future (and somehow no one can influence the nuances).

actually distillation is without weights - you basically just need a black box teacher model.

try on another provider - it is open weights.
