Vercel wants to train on your code!! This is so infuriating. You need to opt out by March 31st or they will use your repos as training data. All hobby plans are opted in by default. #ai #fuckai #webdev #nodejS #programming

Are there any simple alternatives to Vercel? I just want to run a few NextJS apps in the same GitOps fashion. I might just build the pipeline myself using FluxCD

@hmiron infuriating, but expected.

@hmiron This shouldn't even be legal.

@hmiron If you are opted in by default, how can you ever opt out? Will that unsend your code to the training dataset? Will they somehow untrain the models? It sounds like a switch that can only be flipped before you upload anything. If they opt-in an existing project, the game is already over by the time you get to the opt-out screen.
