The author had a rather colorful post to /r/emacs that has been edited significantly since, but some of the color remains in the comments: <a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/emacs/comments/oapa2l/help_building_penel_gpt3_for_emacs/" rel="nofollow">https://www.reddit.com/r/emacs/comments/oapa2l/help_building...</a>
Copilot was not the first GPT-3 editor out there. Now that the editor thinks for us, free software is more important now than ever before. A transparent pipeline from thought to paper.<p>I would like some assistance.
Is there a tool where I can type garbage and it walks linearly through a git history of creating a new project, compiling, cloning, committing, etc. until my new copy is a replica of the original?<p>E.g., I set it to vue.js codebase. Then for each key I press it will:<p>1. create a new file if we're at the beginning
2. for each key pressed, output a character for that file
3. once the file has been "typed", close that one and open the next file and repeat.
4. once the whole enchilada has been "typed", then each key press will spell out "git commit..." on the command line then enter
5. once committed, each key pressed will spell out "git push..." then enter
6. etc. until I've typed the whole history of vue.js!<p>Maybe a "turbo mode" so I can set N characters for each character I type...
It's not a "Copilot for Emacs" though?
It's a layer on top of language models APIs made for Emacs.<p>So, if you use GPT-3, it will not be finetuned further on code like Copilot, only pretrained on data that did contain some code, and also the GPL portion only concerns that API-calling layer, not what the model was trained on, or what it can output (which is what the GPL related mess about Copilot is about).
