Companies paying $200/month/head to make their developers pretend to use Copilot? The only people consistently hyped around it are the capitalists desperate to remove labor from their equations altogether to deal with the rate of profit falling, and much like previous attempts at mass outsourcing it’s just going to blow up in their faces when they have to re-hire a bunch of people to unfuck their efforts to not have to hire those people in the first place.
