Agenda:6:45 - Socialize with members7:05 - Announcements7:15 - Talk start -- GitHub Copilot
Talk Overview:There is a new programmer in town, and it's a machine called GitHub Copilot. It has been assisting Braddock with coding for the past month. It's remarkable and is already changing how Braddock writes code. Copilot represents a coming revolution in software development but raises difficult ethical and legal questions.
In this presentation, Braddock will show some of the remarkable features that Copilot performs in a "real-world" usage. He'll explain the technological origins of the Github Copilot in papers by Microsoft and OpenAI, and how it works. Then, there will be an open discussion about the moral and software-industry implications/questions.

Venue:On Thursday, September 8th, 6:45 pm at IHOP in Pasadena on Arroyo Parkway, come listen to a talk on GitHub Copilot, chat with old friends, and find fresh faces at our in person meeting. We'll be in the back.
