Ask Claude about the string “ba7816bf8f01cfea414140de5dae2ec73b00361bbef0469f11ef0b01d449c8e6” When it gives you an answer: ask it to verify that this number is correct.

Allow GitHub to use my data for AI model training

Github makes this an account owner setting, but it affects more than just you as account owner.

I wonder if maintainers and organizations, developing on Github, need to update their Contributor License Agreements (CLA) to ensure that contributors must (or must not) opt-out of Github AI model training.

I wonder if maintainers and organizations have any way to know if a particular contributor has opted-out or not.

Has anyone thought through the ramifications of SCION adoption (a more secure BGP alternative) with respect to Open Internet access?

Yes, it gives much better, more performant, more robust routing. It seems imposing strong trust controls, regionally (or nationally) managed, on routing would be a big security improvement.

But doesn't it give the nation state an iron hand in who is allowed to route? Does it create risks for the open internet?
