The New GitHub Copilot X Powered by GPT-4 is Here!

Hello everybody I'm Nick and in this video I take a first look at the recently announce GitHub Copilot X that is powered by GPT-4. It adds many features with the main one being a ChatGPT like experience which is full context aware in your IDE.

Don't forget to comment, like and subscribe :)

crazy times, the craziest part is how quickly MS acted on this. Google was totally Yahoo'd in the arena

I think it's very important to use LLMs for learning rather than "Hey! Do this job for me so I don't have to". Since this is not like a General Intelligence, it will eventually fail at some point of the project and it becomes your duty to debug and fix it. I know that it does awesome work most of the times, we shouldn't blindly follow what is does. I wonder how we are really going to integrate this to real industry. Interesting times ahead 😅

I hope this will be included in VS proper as soon as possible. The current VS Copilot is still a bit clunky, but it's 1000 times better than nothing.

"Grandpa, can you describe the early 2020s?"

"Ah, the early 2020s were quite a time. We faced a global pandemic, a surge in mental health issues, toilet paper shortage, widespread misinformation, civil unrest, and intense debates around cancel culture and social justice. We had a rather intriguing president and experienced the infamous events of January 6th. We fought a Proxy war with a nuclear-armed nation, high gas prices, remarkable advancements in nuclear fusion and the dawn of the AI revolution.

Other than that, not too much happened - it was a pretty quiet compared to the mid 2020’s”

I'm a simple guy. I see Copilot + GPT-4, I join the waiting list.

I have scoured hundreds of programming related channels and yours is genuinely by far my favorite. Truly a great channel for junior to senior devs to learn from, thank you Sir!

One problem is that no developer who has signed an NDA will be able to use it, until these models can be run locally or on company servers. (Let alone training, but here I just meant inference from prompts.)

Impressive, but it would concern me to automate the writing of unit tests from existing code. You're not really testing that the code is correct, just that the code does what it has been written to do, but that's not the same thing. This is why ideally unit tests should be written first, although I realize that in practice this doesn't always happen, because developing a solution to a problem is an iterative process. Even human written tests sometimes suffer from this problem, and you can get a test passing when it shouldn't. Even so, assuming that the code is correct and telling an AI to write unit tests from it is asking for trouble.

What about IP (intellectual property)? Though impressive, I do have privacy/IP concerns about using this technology on a proprietary codebase. What sort of protections (if any) are around this area?

[majora-joe]

I really need this hooked into my codebase with Rider and vs code so I can really use it. This is exactly what I've been waiting for. The ability to be in my codebase and have all that context. Copy/pasting to Chat GPT is a bit annoying as it makes mistakes and whatnot.

It's no longer copilot, we are copilot now

[Alexander-byuv]

Wait till process management software gets a deeper integration with this new AI world. The whole tech lay offs are just the preparation for the new era of work.

I hope copilot x has first-class support for VS. I can not wait for my invitation and trying this on a legacy code base.

[parlor]

I guess the version that willl completely take over our jobs could be called GitHub Pilot Infinity 😅

[funkahontas]

RIP Stack Overflow you won't be missed.

[nawakoff]

Well, seems the Pandora's box is open and the point of no return is crossed

[Shiguenori]

Can't wait for your video showcasing the Copilot X!

I already bought Agriculture 101 book.

As a 2nd year CS student this is kinda depressing that I might will be redudant when I graduate, completely replaced by AI. It takes a serious toll on my mental health for the reason that I don't have a solid future outlook as I did when I started uni...

The progress in technology is going to be anywhere from 10 to 100 times faster now. Productivity is going to be far higher. The world is going to change quickly. The big LMM models are the best innovation ever made by humans after inventing the language.
