  Now they can also train their gray area trained model (trained upon our Github projects without consolidating with us if it was alright to do so) further!

  By spying on every command you type in your CLI, and phoning home to MS about it, to train it further.

  I guarantee you, If you use it, you’ll be their free training monkey.

    Never ask

    • a man his salary

    • a woman her age

    • a corporation which thirld-world countries’ empoverished population they exploit for cheap labor to make their “AI” economically viable

    Without having read it, I’d be willing to bet that the Copilot EULA requires users to agree not to sue Microsoft for any of their copyrights that might have been infringed. Personally, I think anybody who has a project on Github – especially one with a copyleft license – shouldn’t touch Copilot with a ten-foot pole.

      Interestingly, OpenAI claims they will shoulder any legal burden resulting from copyright infringement their products enable. I guess they feel they’re on sturdy enough ground and want to use their resources to ensure precedent is set

    And that’s one of the reasons why I won’t use it.

      What are the other reasons?

    All paid products do that that you use every day

      Not on my machine. Or at least, I do everything humanly possible to limit it.

      Either through:

      • Switching to FOSS alternatives
      • Custom patches applied to proprietary binaries.
      • Blocking network access for certain processes

      I don’t expect everyone to become a privacy expert though.

      However I do believe systematic privacy is important, and that we should aim for better privacy laws to keep the intellectual property of the average user safe.

  I think Copilot would get a lot more takers if it looked like this. xkcd.com/1838
