Former GitHub CEO at Microsoft, Nat Friedman, has addressed rumors of GitHub Copilot's financial losses, labeling them as false and suggesting that costs are lower than prices. Rumors indicated that the service was losing up to $20 per user per month in the previous months, with some users reaching $80. GitHub Copilot, an AI programming assistant, charges $10 per month and is free for verified students and users of established open-source projects. Despite the existence of loss rumors, neither Microsoft nor GitHub has issued an official response, leaving the controversy unresolved. The issue of GitHub Copilot's losses has sparked discussions about its business model and sustainability, but Nat Friedman's response offers some support.
