I'm waiting for copilot that has access to something like language server and instead of just suggesting immediate completions and using open tabs for context it can use LS to pull references for context, suggest file creation, adding code in non trivial places. Then add a chat interface on top. Suddenly I'm really 10x - I would pay hundreds of dollars per month for this if it worked well - it would let me handle at least two or three IC jobs. Next level after that would be getting access to tasks/development board and automatically having that as context.

Copilot and chatgpt are so clunky to work with - they help but it's not groundbreaking - once the workflow gets streamlined there will be a time window where you can leverage your experience to do 10x productivity.

At that point you'll need to have at least two or three IC jobs just to survive, because wages will plummet.

I think experience is going to become a multiplier of value here, there will be a first adopter advantage and lower cost is going to create demand.

"Tendency of the rate of profit to fall" affects labor, too.

Sure, you may have a temporary advantage by leveraging AI and effectively doing labor arbitrage (the same way some craftsmen could gain a temporary advantage over others if they had access to rare/expensive tooling in the early days of the Industrial Revolution) but this advantage will quickly disappear as AI tooling becomes cheap and ubiquitous.

Adoption is happening way too fast for your approach to work, IMHO. I can see it being viable if you worked at some consultancy that invented ChatGPT and kept it to themselves, but at this point it's too late to contain it.

What's the adoption rate of copilot ? It's been out for how long now ?

that's exactly what we're building with Control! https://twitter.com/sualehasif996/status/1635757961984221185

Any chance me, a lowly OSS Developer and Twitch Streamer of the Small Variety, could acquire access early? I would love to try using it for things like writing Mods for Games and such.
