"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"

A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.

AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

Microsoft has revealed that it is updating its GitHub Copilot interaction data usage policy to allow the company to use this particular type of data to train its AI model. For clarity, interaction data involves inputs, outputs, code snippets, code context, comments, documentation, file names, repository structure, navigation patterns, and basically any interaction with Copilot.

Will they check the code before doing so? If not, then it is time to write the worst possible code that looks normal. ๐Ÿ˜ˆ

I am a fan of malicious cooperation.

basically any interaction with Copilot

Good that I don't have any then.

[โ€“] Agrivar@lemmy.world 1 points 6 months ago

Right? The way I'm reading this, nothing I have on Github will be included because I write all my shitty code the old fashioned way.

[โ€“] quick_snail@feddit.nl 4 points 6 months ago (2 children)

I don't care what they use my data for. It's Foss

What I do care is that they're trying to keep it for themselves by authwalling my public repo!

[โ€“] neclimdul@lemmy.world 1 points 6 months ago (1 children)

You might still look. In the banner on the site it says Copilot interactions. I suspect the way data collectors work, that will pretty quickly mean even if you don't explicitly interact with copilot they'll be sucking up your site interactions and personal data for training because "its all copilot"

[โ€“] quick_snail@feddit.nl 2 points 6 months ago

I don't care.

But I do care about the authwalls

[โ€“] GrindingGears@lemmy.ca 1 points 6 months ago

I hope they use my data! Because I feed it absolute garbage.

[โ€“] Tempus_Fugit@lemmy.world 3 points 6 months ago

You would think this would be enough for folks to revolt and flee the platform, but most folks can't be bothered.

[โ€“] quick_snail@feddit.nl 1 points 5 months ago

Cool. Since my data is copyleft, their whole training set will be too.
