You’ll Soon Have to Pay $20 a Month to Access Copilot’s Coolest Features::Also, there’s a Copilot app coming on Android and iOS.
threaded - newest
This is the best summary I could come up with:
My colleague Maxwell Zeff once described Microsoft Copilot as “if Clippy went to get his MBA.” Microsoft just announced a new premium subscription to its Copilot AI, which can be analogous to Clippy getting a PhD.
Targeted at “power users and creators,” Copilot Pro promises to be an advanced version of the free tier for a monthly fee of $20.
It runs across your devices (yes, on your phones, too—more on that in a bit) to deliver what Microsoft calls a “single AI experience.” During peak times, you also get priority access to OpenAI’s GPT-4 Turbo.
The company hasn’t given us a date for the GPT Builder’s availability.
The third big announcement is that Copilot is coming to Microsoft 365 without a purchase minimum rule.
There was previously a 300-seat purchase minimum, which was a limiting feature for small businesses.
The original article contains 284 words, the summary contains 140 words. Saved 51%. I’m a bot and I’m open source!
.
Especially since they included copyleft code in the training dataset, which means that, by all rights, all of Copilot’s output should also be copyleft.
no thanks.
I can’t decide if Microsoft is delusional yet again, or if dumbass corporate accounts will actually pay for this shit and MS knows it. I really hate this subscription-everything timeline.
I have been using copilot inside VSCode for about a month. That thing is useful. It really does cut back on programming time. The help you get from this thing, although not 100% accurate, is mostly accurate enough to get you unstuck and keep moving. It is really useful. I have paid 1 monthl at 10$US. It is totally worth it for me and my usage.
I really hope I don’t have to start paying twice as much for the same experience.
And I’m sure that CoPilot key on the keyboard will remind you to pay up every time you press it. :)

Wow another Winbloat feature I don’t care about and fortunately will never have to
lol, no i won’t, because i haven’t used WinBlows in 20 years hahahaha
I’m all down to chat with ai about my code, but giving it direct access AND agreeing to let it harvest? Nahhhh
Excellent! This will guarantee that I’ll have no Copilot running on my machine.
