Microsoft’s GitHub next month plans to begin using customer interaction data – “specifically inputs, outputs, code snippets, and associated context” – to train its AI models.

Bro, I dont dig this either, but the title is a bit misleading. What they said (and they have been pretty transpartent about it: banner on the site plus email if you have an account) is that they will train their Copilot models from the user interactions with copilot, and you can opt-out.
Now, I know the importance of defaults, but we are talking about Github, a platform for developers, I would REALLY assume these are the people that REALLY are able to toggle a setting to their preference, especially when they have been properly informed about it.
Let’s try to save the indignment for when it is justified, this was not executed in a shady way, I would much rather Microsoft do any policy change this way.
At least thats my opinion lol
It should be opt in, not opt out.
I’ve interacted with way too many developers that would struggle with this, you’re giving them too much credit as a whole
