Off-topic: Given that state cyber entities maintain networks isolated from the internet, how do they adapt to the rise of tools like Co-Pilot and ChatGPT in the software engineering landscape? This kind of security setup inherently restricts access to such tools, potentially slowing their pace. Thoughts?
Don't use them, duh. Pay enough money to get a copy on premises if it ever gets useful enough for that. In the time they'll get around to changing their procedures, models will get small enough that it will be a non-issue.
Disclaimer: layman's opinion, I only know what internet knows.
I work at a large SF based SaaS, there's so much money in that space the company spun up a team to build an air gapped version of our product for restricted networks.
It's definitely much slower than the private sector, but if the agencies decide they have a use case, they'll throw money at it until it works in house.
