Unless you opt-out before April 24th, your GitHub code and data will be used for Microsoft's AI training. https://github.blog/news-insights/company-news/updates-to-github-copilot-interaction-data-usage-policy/

    @sleepyfox@hachyderm.io Github already used all your public repos for training, allegedly: https://archive.is/1EzVK/image And apparently even Linux is in on the slop fun: https://hachyderm.io/@ell1e/116285351290767548

  • @sleepyfox@hachyderm.io presumably all code is already used for this. this change seems to be just for also training on your use of their ai (copilot)?

    @sleepyfox@hachyderm.io I think it could learn a lot from my spaghetti code.

    @sleepyfox@hachyderm.io isnt it specifically data from interactions with copilot? (inputs, outputs, snippets and context) like one is only gonna be affected by this if they use copilot already

    @sleepyfox@hachyderm.io opting out won't help, the only solution is to stop using anti-democratic US tech

    @sleepyfox@hachyderm.io This is inaccurate. They're already stealing code without consent and there is no opt out for that. The opt out described here is for recording your interactions using Copylot. If you don't use it to begin with, there's nothing to opt out of.
