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?

      I think Anthropic has done a good enough job of poisoning Claude themselves within the past 4 to 5 months or so.

    We got copilot reviewing our code at work

    It mostly just finds typos and other things like that

    Quite useless at anything else

      Like intelisence which has been doing it faster, more consistantly and offline since the mid 2000’s?

      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.

      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.

      Win11 already is, see the latest few months of “security updates” breaking basic operation system functions.

    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.

        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.

              Its almost like everyone building this shit at one point in the past 5 years called themselves a “software developer” and might have a good insight as to what that job entails. Posibly why LLMs are kinda competent at the job of development, they are being built by 1000’s of ex software developers.

              Probably wont be good at law or chemistry because the people building it have a felon musk level of understanding about those jobs.

    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.

        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.

          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.
