I don't think you're an outlier, but you will become one if you don't adapt to the inevitable.

This is coming very fast. Today I used chatgpt to generate some kubernetes yaml and python code that was not able to find using google.

Once it is integrated in copilot there is no going back. We software engineers will be churning code faster and our role will be more of a code reviewer. One developer can do the work of 5.

As soon as opt out is implemented training data will stop to grow and we're back to skills mattering
Prediction: China will simply ignore this law, and will become the greatest AI power.
These tools don’t obviate the need for skill in the domain, they are essentially excellent contextual search engines.

Having an en masse respected opt out from data collection on the internet is wishful thinking. Don’t expect that any time soon.

It shouldn't even be 'opt-out' but 'opt-in' in the first place.
Actually I stand corrected, I meant opt-in.
I know plenty of talented FOSS developers who won’t choose to opt out.
I doubt it. A FOSS developer would never consent to feed a closed proprietary model, which some corporation then charges other people for using, with their hard work.
