Are you also glad that microsoft - a behemoth - is profiting from your hard work by training their co-pilot using your code in github ?

Will you be glad when those systems are good enough to replace you, and they became so using your toil, for free ?

[xkcd-sucks]

I've had no problem using Microsoft's toil for free by downloading free windows ISOs all my life, so if they want to pirate my Github code it's not bad enough to care about. Besides the bad practices the model might internalize as a result that is

Then speak for yourself, because I have been using Linux as a daily driver for almost my whole life.

I do not want corporate behemoths to profit from my work for free. Period.

Good for you, don't post your code on GitHub then, as they have an express terms of service about being able to use code submitted for business purposes, including AI model training.

[4gotunameagain]

I do not. Not any more. Which is not the GitHub I first joined.

And to sprinkle in a bit of ad hominem, I am aware that things regarding rules or ethics are viewed differently in your culture, and that is okay.

[satvikpendem]

I am not sure what you mean by "my culture," what are you basing that off of? Why would you knowingly and willingly add an ad hominem? Very strange behavior in discourse.

GitHub has always had such clauses, even if they were not explicit about AI model training in particular. It is best to self host your own git instance if you are so worried.
