#12Some unknown person is trying to get some hype on “cancel github” cry. I don't give a shit about the Copilot, but I care even less about Rian Hunter and his statements.
My thoughts too

#13While I understand the sentiment wasn’t Copilot trained on code not only hosted on GitHub, but found all over the Internet? Which means hosting your code yourself would not prevent GitHub from using it to train Copilot. That raises an interesting question though - how do you opt out? Is there even a way to do it?
robots.txt, or a copyright notice saying the code can't be used to train AI which bots will ignore and open their corporate masters to liability.

I'm not surprised. I imagine all images on the internet are used to train image classifiers as well. It's a shitty future, but it's the one we have.

#15Why is this noteworthy? Who is this person? Am I missing something?
I agree that there needs to be talk about licensing and copyright but with so "less/no content" there can be no meaningful discussion other than aimless banter.

#18Lets face, gitlab and github valuation is based on future “ai” code autogens. Brave new world
I cannot see them even throwing together a library.
For example, how could they architect, let's say something like jQuery?
