Software engineers at Microsoft are now expected to use both Claude Code and GitHub Copilot and give feedback comparing the two, I’m told. Microsoft sells GitHub Copilot as its AI coding tool of choice to its customers, but if these broad internal pilot programs are successful, then it’s possible the company could even eventually sell Claude Code directly to its cloud customers.
Guys? Are we going to have to rename Microsoft products from Copilot to Claude soon?
Microsoft Claude 365?
Klopilot - I’m sorry I think this only works in German
Welllll
WC stands for Water Closet and I think Klo is short for Klosett?
The brits also call it the ‘loo’ which doesn’t sound too far off from ‘Klo’ I think
So it’s not actually that hard to infer what it means
To be fair I did take like 6 years of Deutsch in die Schule, aber ich habe alles vergessen + I’m not entirely sure we ever learned the word “Klo”. Maybe we did.
In the most German pedantic way: “in der Schule”
I think Microsoft, as they often do, see the writing on the wall—the AI bubble bursting soon, taking AI-only businesses with them. What I see in this is a play to, at best, buy some extra good will with Anthropic so they can be first in line for the acquisition when the latter are tanking, or at worst (and more likely imo), get them dependent on Microsoft for revenue so that they have no other choice to be subsumed by them.
But I’ve been wrong about most economic/political predictions I’ve ever made, so we’ll see!
If there’s any company that will survive the bubble, it’s Anthropic. They’re the only company with a product, a business model, and customers that see long-term value in it.
Their product may be one of the best, but they are more expensive, and they have no hope of making enough revenue to float their business.
MS and Google float their AI with their other profits, so it can work as a business model.
OpenAI is the one doing 800 billion dollar deals and buying all the memory in the world
Is there anybody left who thinks that openai is going to survive? I don’t think it has 6 months of life left.
Lol. They made some “deals” based on hope and a dream. In reality they are still posting net losses.
By the way, I have the very best bridge in the world to sell you. Interested?
They are tiiny and losing money by the skip full.
This is true. But remember that Microsoft has an incomprehensible amount of money and if the bubble bursts Anthropic may survive but not at the same value.
I doubt Google couldn’t easily kill Anthropic by expanding their Antigravity project.
Antigravity is only rarely useful in software development.
The same could be repeated verbatim for any other AI agent.
Great paywall. I guess I’m not reading this article.
And then La Verge will wonder why it can’t keep readers on their website.
Try https://removepaywalls.com/. I’ve never had it fail for me.
It won’t work for hard pay walls
What’s a hard paywall? Again, it’s has never failed me. It works fine on OP’s article. Can you show me one it doesn’t work for?
I think he means a paywall that replaces the content rather than cover it. You can’t bypass a paywall that replaces the content.
The tool I referenced is just an archive search engine. It searches for unblocked copies of the article. It’s not a mechanical “paywall remover” in the literal sense.
Honestly I had the opposite experience and never had a “paywall remover” work :/
I also tried the weirder techniques like stopping the load of the page etc but it’s not very reliable and rarely works.
I didnt get a paywall myself actually. Mobile Firefox with ublock origin.
Other readers- archive.is link - completely readable
No paywall on Firefox desktop either with ublock origin either.
Like a virus you say?
Microslop mix
MS isnt’ very good at isolating its experiments…
We got copilot reviewing our code at work
It mostly just finds typos and other things like that
Quite useless at anything else
My girlfriend is forced to use only Copilot at her work, and its just completely useless. She frequently posts me failed tasks it couldnt do. :).
Seems to be the worst Ai by far.
Its only core competency is convincing idiot c-suites that they should force their org to use copilot
For copilot in visual studio at least you can select between models it will use, depending on the org setup showing them.
I don’t see how “worst of all of them” applies when it’s an umbrella of other models.
Maybe we’re all taking about different copilots. There’s multiple products after all.
They’re all objectively shit.
Even with Opus in the backend Copilot is so bad compared to Claude code
GitHub copilot within visual studio is not bad actually, if it doesn’t find anything to but typos then congrats your team is all competent senior developers…
It does cut down review time for juniors’ work, and it’s capable of implementing full features given the correct documentation and instructions. It’s a useful tool that assists and doesn’t replace competent developers.
Seems to be the worst Ai by far.
Which is weird because isn’t ChatGPT supposed to be one of the best (least shitty)? Isn’t CoPilot rebranded ChatGPT?
Like intelisence which has been doing it faster, more consistantly and offline since the mid 2000’s?
Intellisense can review a 1000 line PR?
Of course? Just as quick as it can candy colour the braces and highlight your references of your 1000 line pr
We have ours configured pretty well at this point and it does an absolute bang-up job at code review. It will point developers towards tools and utilities that our monorepo has If they appear to be reinventing the wheel. It will catch common problems and issues that we have in our instruction file, and does a pretty good job of catching bugs and small issues like typos and what not.
Perhaps you need to tighten up your instruction file?
Yeah, LLMs are pretty great contextual search engines if you curate a good dataset for them to draw from.
They aren’t a magic bullet that’ll find what’s relevant to you from the vast ocean of shit that is the internet.
Microslop Claude 365 please.
Microsoft is killing itself with shit vibe code.
Microslop cope-pilot

Good. Let’s accelerate the transition to TempleOS.
Microsoft Claude Copilot 365
The guy from GTA 3 is writing code?
I wonder if the shift away from ChatGPT was due to their latest model using grokipedia to spew disinformation.
Windows 12 will be the first vibe-coded OS
Win11 already is, see the latest few months of “security updates” breaking basic operation system functions.
Praying windows 12 will just be the name of the Ubuntu based distro Microsoft releases after they admit their devs are too incompetent to maintain a kernel.
Ok, but that would shake up EVERYTHING!!! Just imagine:
WINDOWS LINUX
Linux development would be BREAKNECK!
You mean: have it’s neck broken by the falling mass of a shit-mountain of LLM-slop?
I already see them selling a AI-plagiarized closed copy of Wine as their big achievement in Windows compatibility mode, so they are now ready to move.
Or not, since they now rather just plop a VM in it.
That’s maybe the worst flex for Claude possible.
Meanwhile, after installing Linux on my laptop last week and getting that set up, I’m in the process of backing up data on my desktop to do the same soon.
And what are the good non-github sites these days?
