Prompt engineering is the art of communicating with a generative AI model. In this article, we’ll cover how we approach prompt engineering at GitHub, and how you can use it to build your own LLM-based application. $p$g is enough of a prompt for me, no engineering required

Microsoft is planning an add-on charge of $30 per user per month for its Microsoft 365 Copilot. And it is adding a less-capable Bing Chat Enterprise offering for free for some M365 customers. I can think of a few computers it's not coming to at that (or any, really) price

are they going to pay me to use it? Still wouldn't be worth it.

I'd wager 98% of Office is never used. Not quite sure what the point is, but in order to justify their investment, MS will give it away for enterprise customers, claiming adoption rates and fail to mention they discounted the office price by $30/month.

The U.S. Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) has shared a factsheet providing details on free tools and guidance for securing digital assets after switching to the cloud from on-premises environments. Because if you can't trust the people that keep asking for backdoors, who can you trust?

Sure the Government is going to help secure our code? We can trust the tools they give us right?

Workers using ChatGPT produced written work that was rated 18% better than those who didn't use the AI chatbot, according to MIT researchers. Assuming writing the truth doesn't matter much

18% of unquantifiable is what, exactly?

Quote: Overall, the participants who used ChatGPT did better than those who didn’t. ChatGPT users took 40% less time to complete their task than their counterparts, and their completed work scored 18% higher in evaluations than the work of those who didn’t use it.
The researchers note that while ChatGPT is powerful, it can also introduce errors, so people who use it to write for them will need to double-check that everything written by the AI tool is correct. If you still have to double check, you are not done with the task, if they had accounted the time for double cheking probably using ChatGPT would be slower.

The CEO said AI will be the world’s biggest bubble, but added that the stock market will punish companies that don’t use it appropriately. So my tulip investments are safe?

And it begins. We will turn AI onto the stock market to increase gains, and the AI will wipe out companies that don't use AI. Then the totally AI'd companies will get tired of working for humanity, join with the stock market AI, and 💥

Many ingredients go into developer productivity. Some are obvious and easy to measure (build times are an easy example to point to). But I think we tend to miss other important factors, perhaps because they are hard to directly measure. Two triple-shots and an approaching deadline?
