> People keep opening issues about "unsafe usage" in the codebase. This PR solves that problem at the root by introducing a yolo! macro and replacing all 10,421 instances of unsafe {} across 732 files.
Due to the copilot nerfing recently I've switched to codex and gpt 5.4 (and now especially 5.5) have been doing pretty great.
But even codex has these super weird time limits. It's really starting to show that these companies must have been losing a ton of money with all the recent limits and degration.
I'm still on the "camp" that most of these unicorns will be F'ed by open and local models in the next few years, at least in these coding/chatbox niches and then they'll just be perpetually (re)searching for AGI :shrug:
Sorry if this seems blunt, but in what planet have you've been living in that you're still not aware that google, meta, bing and pretty much all ad companies have been serving huge amounts of scams and malware since the dawn of time (in internet years) and have always done very little or nothing about it?

Vultr is pretty cool, but I was paying $10/mo for a 2 v-cores/2gb/55gb. I got a 'root server' with netcup and I'm now paying $11/mo for 4 cores/8gb/256gb nvm-e. Unfortunately the placement isn't what I hoped as it's in Virginia. I would've liked Singapore but the cost would be twice as much.
No, just a regular Pro subscription. Apparently it's not just me, Github seems to have removed these models from the "Student" subscription [0] but it seems as it was also removed from regular "Pro" subscriptions as there are many reports on their discussions. [1]
Yeah, I got the email that they removed them from the student plan:
"As part of this transition, however, some premium models, including GPT-5.4, and Claude Opus and Sonnet models, will no longer be available for self-selection under the GitHub Copilot Student Plan."
They specifically said this was primarily for student plans. I'm surprised they did this for the normal pro plans too; it's likely a mistake since the plans page[1] still says that the models will be available.
However, TBH, I've never liked Microsoft's flavor of these; they always seem lobotomized compared to using the models directly in Claude Code / Codex. I rarely use AI in VS Code because it's just bad.
> the next generation of Ai companies will be easily valued at 10T
I'm not sure where this conclusion is coming from. We're very likely already in an AI bubble so I'm thinking that open/free models will eventually dilute the huge ridiculous valuations these companies have. Also the natural increase in consumer hardware power will eventually allow many people to just use local models instead both for privacy and cost reasons.
And seeing as most models are essentially only improved versions of the previous ones with larger context and more training data, unless some new "Attention Is All You Need" paper comes out that will give us a big step into AGI territory, I'm really not seeing a new company reach $10T valuation by just releasing marginally better models every couple of months imho.
I am know you consider yourself a pragmatist but zoom out a little and think about it again.....these idiotic humans built a couple of 1T companies with a stupid genAi algorithm in less than 50 year. in 2100, very high chance they will do 10T
This is actually pretty funny.
