      Moving to git is one thing, but doesn’t going to GitHub put all their code at risk for CoPilot AI mining by Microsoft? (If one considers that a bad thing, which many don’t, I guess.)

        Your code is AI mined regardless where you put it today I’m afraid to tell.

        Unless you put your code in a private repository self hosted behind a login. However, if your code is public. You can bet it will be used for AI training. Again regardless of which platform. And regardless which LLM. So all platforms, all internet, all LLMs.

          Thanks, that’s what I thought. I’ve never put anything personal in a public repo in my life for reasons just like this. Bleh.

            Not many. If you want a backdoor there are better and faster ways to implement that. No need to wait for llms to maybe train on your repo. And maybe hallucinate your code to somebody else.

            Those chances are slim. I won’t publicly tell how to easily infiltrate projects, but I give you a hint: npm, go, pip
