How long until that magically reenables itself
Comment on GitHub hits CTRL-Z, decides it will train its AI with user data after all

Date
As of April 24 you’ll be feeding the Octocat unless you opt out
Scope
The code locker’s revised policy applies to Copilot Free, Pro, and Pro+ customers, as of April 24. Copilot Business and Copilot Enterprise users are exempt thanks to the terms of their contracts. Students and teachers who access Copilot will also be spared.
To opt out:
Those affected have the option to opt out in accordance with “established industry practices” – meaning according to US norms as opposed to European norms where opt-in is commonly required. To opt out, GitHub users should visit [github.com/settings/copilot/features] and disable “Allow GitHub to use my data for AI model training” under the Privacy heading.

Interestingly, mine was still enabled from the last time I must have toggled that setting.
If they do screw around, they could just train on everything without asking anyone

I hate where society is at right now. I just want to skip ahead to where the social contract makes it standard to prevent this sort of hostile behavior. Or something. I refuse to accept that it’s me, and my age or culture makes me so deeply discordant to current socioeconomic practices.

Thanks for the opt-out link.

Strange, I was already opt-out, must be an European thing. We are “opt-out” to a lot of things going on in the world lately.

That option isn’t there for me.

Do you fall under the affected group? Maybe it’s only listed for those who do

Ah, I must have missed it from your quote. I have copilot through my employer so I probably have Business or Enterprise. Thanks for pointing that out.
