while you are a small team and you don't need to scale it's ok (I used to run a self hosted GitLab instance in my previous company)

@beeb my question was a kind of rhetorical question. Almost everyone is back on GitHub, due to all the free stuff it provides, and I'm expecting to see the same thing this time.

GitLab, Codeberg, self hosting, doesn't matter: once you hit the limits of the selected option you come back on GitHub because it's not a news anymore to leave it and everyone has accepted the current state.

Once Codeberg stops receiving donations what happens? When new disks are required what happens?

@odnankenobi @monster @TheEvilSkeleton

I understand what you are saying.

Given that, by documentation, the user you mention need a Copilot license to perform the actions you mention,
the place where raise these concerns, if you want them listened and evaluated, is:
https://github.com/orgs/community/discussions/categories/general

Do you remember in 2018 when Microsoft bought GitHub and there has been a mass migration to GitLab?

Where is everyone now? On GitHub? Oh.. well...

I forsee a new mass migration due to this "Copilot nausea"... but where is people going to be in a year from now?

We, open source contributors, are lucky that big tech don't contribute economically only to what they daily use.

Many of these companies recognize the value of public projects and help them!

@monster @odnankenobi @TheEvilSkeleton

I understand what you mean, I can't agree nor disagree.

It's something new that is difficult to ship with prior training as a public commercial software.
We can't pretent GH to train anyone that could go on the platform before shipping the feature.
The world is moving fast, as the business. They must compete in a strong and hard environment where "first" values more that "better".

I'm not standing with GitHub closing my eyes. That must be clear

@reflex @TheEvilSkeleton

I am a Foundation Member, not a Board Member. I'll forward your question to some contact but I'm not part of the meetings nor I have vote on this matter, can't promise you anything than a forward nor provide you feedback (as I'm not going to have it either)

@reflex @TheEvilSkeleton

I have no answer to that question. Sorry

@monster @odnankenobi @TheEvilSkeleton

negative consequences due to what?

I believe the main problem is how people uses the feature, we need to learn how to use this technology. It is super simple to access it tho is super difficult to use it properly.

At current stage the global problem is learning to leverage the presence of AI to generate positive impact.

But that has nothing to do with GitHub providing feature in home page to push their business.

Deleting a post to not receive answers after "throwing the stone" is not fair...
So here it is @lhp

I simply understand how business works. If you use a commercial software, in the free edition, you have to accept their decision.

GitHub is near the community but they have a business to run, they have to make decision, if you look around most of the developers and companies are really happy with what GitHub is doing

@monster @odnankenobi @TheEvilSkeleton

basically your complain is that a commercial software shipped an update that contains new features 😅

@odnankenobi @monster @TheEvilSkeleton

moreover, it's literally Chat GPT, it's going to do what asked to do. So if is not asked to check for duplicates it's not going to do it.
I'm not saying that is going to perform a proper and good check if requested, I need to perform some test before being able to provide a full feedback, but I don't see the huge mentioned problem in the room

@odnankenobi @monster @TheEvilSkeleton

ah, you have first of all to go in "immersive mode", need an active Copilot license (so not everyone, expecially spammers) have it, then ask to create the issue for you.

In my personal opinion is not a so pushed feature that is encouraging everyone to open bad issues with no fact checking...
