  • Got this email last night and felt validated for never uploading any code to GitHub because I don’t trust Microsoft. lol I don’t have any big coding projects, but I self-host a ForgeJo server in my mini rack at home behind a Twingate VPN.

    Link for opting out: https://github.com/settings/copilot/features In the *"Privacy"* section, set *"Allow GitHub to use my data for AI model training"* to *"Disabled"*.

    Not to be too snarky, but was there ever an assumption that stuff you put in *wasn't* being used to train it? Safe to assume that *any* online service you're using is making use of the data you're giving it.

    As soon as Microslop got involved I pulled all my repos and left.

    fun fact, if you've ever accidentally clicked the "enable" button on copilot because you're a dumbass who can't read, you get a shitton of _more_ settings, most of which are **locked** to "enabled".

    I mean if it wants some absolutely abysmal code then look no further.

    1. Migrate code and back it up 2. Set up local AI 3. Have local AI "patch" your github code by converting the entire program into brainfuck (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brainfuck?wprov=sfla1) 4. Merge patched version to GitHub 5. Profit

    Step one: Download a C or CPP repository. Step two: Replace all semicolons with a greek comma. Step three: ?? Step four: Poison Copilot, so that it randomly insert greek comas that the compilers totally choke on.

    Don't worry, the models already spit out poor code quality.

  • Por qué no los dos? Opt out on one account, use another as poison. If you're gonna do this, I'd say move all your code to a new account and use the older account to poison - that way they can't filter the bad out by account age.

    Yeah all you have to do is commit anything to GitHub They’re scraping all the code regardless of your preferences. I guarantee it.
