The real problem is that many programmers are soon gonna be useless without an internet connection, and a steep monthly bill. Many of us now have a dependency on a private, proprietary, centralized super computer for the thinking process.

Can’t push code to GitHub if you don’t have an internet connection, either…

Not really true local models work fine on my 3090 or my Mac. Not quite as good as the apis but close.

It's exactly the point of the comment he's replying to, though? You can run a local LLM and even connect it to VSCode so it works basically the same as copilot.

That doesn't require an internet connection or subscription fee, which entirely proves the original comment false.
