Farce Majeure
Al SweigartYou'll have to opt-out of GitHub using your repos for AI training here: https://github.com/settings/copilot/features
Ctrl-F for "Allow GitHub to use my data for AI model training"
TTG_42@AlSweigart Do you know how this works if you enable this but I fork your public repo while *not* opting out on my end?
BenjaminHimes@TTG_42 @AlSweigart for example if you push a PR and they have copilot review enabled, sounds like your comments etc are “fair” game. if you submit an issue upstream and there is a discussion and someone asks to have copilot create a fix based on the issue, sounds like your content is on the table.
Daniel Gibson@AlSweigart
Do I have to?
The setting sounds like it's only about inputs/outputs/context of using Copilot - I don't use Copilot
Or am I missing something and this affects non-Copilot-users as well?
@Doomed_Daniel @AlSweigart They specifically mention “at rest” only with regard to private repos based on my read. There, they are emphasizing that even private repos code is fair game for what you’re describing.
Based on that, it seems to imply that for public repos the “at rest” exclusion may not apply.
@BenjaminHimes @AlSweigart
I couldn't find "at rest" mentioned in the settings page linked above nor in the privacy statement linked there?
I'm pretty sure they've always used public repos for training
Dávid Bárdos@AlSweigart I got tired of GitHub. My repos were archived already. I deleted all of them just now.
I seriously doubt there is any switch that would keep them away from train AI on our code. They can fork your code anytime and train the AI on the fork.
GitHub has also no reason to respect the setting, since the users have no way of checking on them.
PerlPlayer@AlSweigart I left GitHub for good. One day after it was public the Microsoft bought it.
Here and there I get my support that I was right ☺️
Edgar SaumellMuch better to delete your account and use codeberg.org
Duchamp Pérez@AlSweigart As if they would respect it. As if the LLM builders have ever respected anything
