The role of AI in product development | Ryan J. Salva (VP of Product at GitHub, Copilot)

We had actually created a snapshot. Uh GitHub. public code for what we call the Arctic code bulb. Right. Essentially This is up in like way in the northlands of Finland. There's a seed vault.

And we're like, you know what, like seed bolts are really there to preserve the diversity of the world's flora in seeds in case of some crazy either natural or man made disaster. But Another really important asset to the world is our code, our open source. Like this represents actually a lot of the collective uh, well, certainly software, if not like intelligence of kind of like the modern world, right? And so

We had put this snapshot of public repositories on these like this like silver uh film that would be preserved for thousands of years in this Arctic code bulb. Well, we took that same data snapshot and we brought it to our friends over at Open AI to see like, okay, what can we do with these large language models built on public code? Well

We already have this episode, so unlocking it is cheap and permanent: the full transcript, segment and word-level timestamps, and .txt, .srt, .vtt and word-level JSON downloads, as many times as you like, forever.

10 free credits is 10 episodes like this one a month. Episodes nobody has transcribed yet cost their length in hours, because we have to actually transcribe them.
