I'm looking forward to the class action lawsuit, even if only to establish a precedent! I don't have much hope, but I wish that ignoring software licensing and attribution at scale becomes harder than it currently seems.
They would've done the math. Even with a class action they will come up positive. It just another bill for them.

I've never seen the banner. Where does this show up?
It's been on top of the web UI for 2 or 3 days now. You might have closed it... Just go to your account settings and find the opt-out option.

Conceptually I think it’s a fine comparison. They’re training (with an opt out) on stuff people feel is an invasion of their privacy to make their service better.
> (with an opt out) And this is the problem: any time you're adding a new "feature" that invades users' privacy, it needs to be opt-in .
And again: Google did this and everyone eventually got over it. Cars do this with telematics data and everyone is over that too.

The only reason that worked is because Google is an unstoppable monopoly juggernaut whose name is literally synonymous with searching the web.

As opposed to other places where Microsoft is just shit? :)
It's my favorite slow burn, 'the shit' is a good thing, but everything is backwards in Soviet Russia...

Do you use copilot?
No we won’t. Details here https://github.blog/news-insights/company-news/updates-to-gi... For users of Free, Pro and Pro+ Copilot, if you don’t opt out then we will start collecting usage data of Copilot for use in model training. If you are a subscriber for Business or Pro we do not train on usage. The blog post covers more details but we do not train on private repo data at rest, just interaction data with Copilot.…
Hope that helps.

The setting isn't even visible to everyone. If you're currently in an org that manages copilot business, it's gone. I imagine it instantly opts you back in when you leave an org.
My work was careful to explain: if you associate your personal GitHub account with their work org copilot, then they are the ones who manage copilot. If you wouldn't use your personal email account on your work computer, I don't see why you wouldn't create a new GitHub account only for work.
