    Heads up GitHub users. You have less than a month left to opt out of "Allow GitHub to use my data for AI model training".

    "On April 24 we'll start using GitHub Copilot interaction data for AI model training unless you opt out." https://github.com/settings/copilot/features

    @JoeSondow I pulled my github and all development files that I had there of any kind and now host them locally. Git is kind of a brilliant tool, but GitHub is not. Just turning off or opting out of being misused is not enough because they don't always honor your choices..

        @JoeSondow@dice.camp Make several accounts, allow their AI to train from the data, poison pill the data, ruin the AI.

          also to comment on @dalias 's earlier answer (same source):

          "From April 24 onward, interaction data—specifically inputs, outputs, code snippets, and associated context—from Copilot Free, Pro, and Pro+ users will be used to train and improve our AI models unless they opt out."

          -> I believe this means if you are not part of these Copilot user groups then, indeed, they do not use your data to train Copilot.. for now at least..

          @elduvelle @lf_araujo @JoeSondow @dalias the sad part being, if I'm recalling it well, that all the code hosted there (in public repos1) is already being used to train the dataset.

          1 they mentioned "publicly accessible repositories" two years ago, which means they weren't filtering the licenses. Also, I have found at the time, they suggested data that weren't available in any public repositories. I'm guessing they were also using some private repositories as well.
