"This could cost people their jobs": VS Code added Microsoft Copilot as co-author without permission or notice
Even when AI has not generated code. This is a major risk for companies where IP ownership is critical.
GitHub has also seen major outages, further eroding trust in their tools.
Hopefully this motivates companies to finally make the switch away from Microsoft.

Not just jobs. AI can’t hold copyright. This could have messy legal implications.
I believe that in theory but has that been established by case law or precedent? I’m interested because I have not heard that. I could totally see law makers say companies can hold copyright, company owns Ai system, company now owns the copyright to what Ai made.
roofuskitIts well established case law that human people must be the creator of a copyrighted work. There have even already been cases involving LLMs and other generative “AI” that have upheld the precedent.
Interesting.
I was actually going to argue that the monkey selfie lawsuit went against that but I double checked some sources and I was wrong. The court actually found exactly as you described and that since a non-human didn’t create the media it could not be copyrighted.
Today I learned… Thanks!

Happened to me! While I was refactoring the CI on GitHub to prepare myself for a codeberg migration.
Unfortunately I’m stuck using vscode tunnels as the mandatory work firewall block SSH. Unless people have alternatives
I thought VSCode used SSH on the backend. What about using git from the console via VSCode?
That’s not really the problem. The dev server isn’t affected by any firewall, it’s the client (don’t ask why it’s like that…).
So I can’t connect by SSH to the dev server, but VScode can connect to the tunnel.
And no I can’t actually just develop on my machine. The performance isn’t there
Yes, but you’ve got VSCode on the client, and you can get a console to the host (the dev server) from there, right?
I use SSH tunnel with (OSS) Codium all of the time
