aryadeeon The American Religion of Self-Storage Facilities

Don’t dox yourself but this sounds just like Irvine, CA. It feels like every two years I see a new track of homes + block storage facilities being built

GitHub Copilot is not using GPT-4 (yet)! I'm seeing a lot of people under the wrong impression.

For code completions it uses an improved version of Codex[1], and for chat beta (part of Copilot X), it uses 3.5-Turbo[2].

However, they're claiming to have "early adoption of OpenAI's GPT-4" for Copilot X on their marketing page[3], which is confusing/deceptive. To be fair, it's still in beta, but they should state outright what model you currently get if you sign up for it.
