🥟 Chao-Down #322 GitHub Copilot Workspace can now start coding projects for you, DrugGPT: an AI tool to help doctors prescribe medicine in England, The unquenchable thirst for new AI data centers

Plus, OpenAI is under scrutiny in Europe for ChatGPT hallucinations.

April 30, 2024

The latest from GitHub Copilot Workspace shows a future where AI can do more for developers than just suggesting code inside of a text editor. Instead, teams can use Workspace to begin projects from scratch and have GitHub Copilot code an initial end-to-end solution with minimal human intervention.

In their words:

Copilot Workspace represents a radically new way of building software with natural language, and is expressly designed to deliver–not replace–developer creativity, faster and easier than ever before. With Copilot Workspace we will empower more experienced developers to operate as systems thinkers, and materially lower the barrier of entry for who can build software.
