#GitHub users, Microsoft is doing a "We have updated our terms to fuck you up with AI" classic move. Please opt out

GitHub hits CTRL-Z, decides it will train its AI with user data after all

: As of April 24 you'll be feeding the Octocat unless you opt out

The Register
@berniethewordsmith GitHub has been fucking over its user base for a very long time, some might argue it started at its inception. Anyone still using GitHub clearly doesn't give a fuck about this kind of harmful policy.
@berniethewordsmith
Muahahaha! This is exactly why I migrated all my repositories into a selfhosted gitea instance back when Microsoft BOUGHT Github. Back then I had no idea that AI slob will hit us eventually, but I knew they will see it as a personal challenge to monetize und fuck us with our own work. Now excuse me, I have to get some sticks and marshmellows to properly enjoy this bonfire...

Opted out even though I have nothing useful there, thanks for the heads up πŸ‘
@berniethewordsmith It is not time to opt out. It is time to click the eject button. One could say this is overdue.
