    Interesting to see Copilot injecting ads into PR descriptions. Although there are a handful of older instances of this, if GitHub search is working properly, it looks like this started happening at scale around 10 days ago with more than 1k injections of this particular ad per day since then

    https://github.com/search?q=%22%E2%9A%A1+Quickly+spin+up+copilot+coding+tasks+from+anywhere+on+your+macOS+or+Windows+machine+with+Raycast%22&type=pullrequests&s=created&o=asc&p=1

    What will they think of next?

    @danluu It's pretty depressing... for AI coding assist like Antigravity, I prefer it doesn't write the commit log and deal with that myself, so it should be immune.

    It's a warning though, remote AI is your coding buddy who wants to help, but ultimately there's the danger it's the AI version of someone who befriends you in order to report on you to management.

    But where's the selfhostable coding assist that's competitive with, eg, Gemini 3.1?

                  @danluu the thing i always find most baffling is people using AI for tasks that are already solved:

                  GitHub already contains a dependency updater that doesn't rely on AI and a lot of languages also have dependency updaters that can easily be executed in GitHub actions for free

                  @Chase @danluu Days ago, a peer seriously suggested using a LLM to sort a short list of text. Tony Hoare hasn't been dead a month and this is where we are.

                      @danluu Is this something intentional from Micro$lop/GitHub, or just people engineering ShartGPT/Copilot into posting ads to their shit?
