Finally. The option for me to enable Copilot data sharing has been locked as disabled for some time, so until now I couldn't even enable it if I wanted to.

#112I appreciated the notification at the top of the screen because it prompted me to disable every single copilot feature I possibly could from my account. I also appreciated Microsoft for making Windows 11 horrible so I could fall back in love with Linux again.

#113Mine was defaulted to disabled. I’m on the Education pro plan (academic), so maybe that’s different than personal?

#114> On April 24 we'll start using GitHub Copilot interaction data for AI model training unless you opt out. Review this update and manage your preferences in your GitHub account settings. Now "Allow GitHub to use my data for AI model training" is enabled by default. Turn it off here: https://github.com/settings/copilot/features Do they have this set on business accounts also by default? If so, this is really shady.
Per their blog post

Re: Updates to GitHub Copilot interaction data usage policy
#115If you scroll down to "Allow GitHub to use my data for AI model training" in GitHub settings, you can enable or disable it. However, what really gets me is how they pitch it like it’s some kind of user-facing feature: Enabled = You will have access to the feature Disabled = You won't have access to the feature As if handing over your data for free is a perk. Kinda hilarious.
It’s not so bad, there’s no double negative and it’s not a confusing “switch” that is always ambiguous as to whether it’s enabled or not. In contrast when you create a a GCS bucket it uses a checkmark for enabling “public access prevention”. Who designed that modal? It takes me a solid minute to figure out if I’m publishing private data or not.
Disabled - You won't have access to this feature of disallowing training.

#116As it's enabled by default, does that mean everything has already been siphoned off and now I'm just closing the gate behind the animals escaping?
Shit like this shouldn't be allowed.

#117Bold move. Who uses Copilot these days? Unless they have free credit I mean.

Interestingly, it is disabled by default for me.
I guess we have to check out again on April 24 ?
