It’s rooted in their new system prompt which heavily pushes to omitting information

A custom user prompt screaming at it to not omit information seems to help somewhat but I suspect there’s a more expensive product in the pipe (we know MS is losing money on copilot)




How is MS losing money on copilot? $100/year should be pretty lucrative.


Inference costs more.


Oh no the thing that was supposed to replace programmers, and is made by programmers and has to run a ton of very expensive resources to achieve the level of a mediocre starter actually costs too much to replace programmers? But I thought we had an entropy reducing silver bullet on tap from the cloud!


What a ridiculous comment. $10 per month is like three orders of magnitude less than a developer. Clearly they could charge a lot more


There are open source versions that use local compute and gpu.

The price needs to get cheaper, not more expensive.

Software is not about charging a percent of value derived. It’s based on minimal cost and providing more capability.

Should IDEs cost $1000 because they save so much time?


As long as cost of Nvidia hardware the majority of the cost of AI, the cost of AI is entirely dependent on how much money Nvidia needs to extract to meet stock expectations.

Everything else is a tiny factor when it comes to compute
