You all know that these AI dev tools are reading your code right?

It is sending it back to a data center and doing evaluations on the code. This is like handing your code to an unknown entity with no guarantees for privacy or copyright protection.

This concept bothers me and I would have to consult with my employer to even determine if we wanted to take that risk. I think it is just a matter of time before a bad actor takes advantage of this and rips off a company somewhere.

dang i already lost all my words to google

I just recently migrated all my repos to a self-hosted gitlab server(with nightly backups).

It's actually fantastic.

I also setup a container image registry with it and now cache most major images from docker hub.

I also have began caching GitHub repos on it as well waiting for the inevitable plug to be pulled on many of them.

Wherever I go next I'll highly recommend gitlab over GitHub.

Fuck Microsoft and their dumbass bullshit.

Well you know the saying "codes will not write themselves"

We had this discussion a short while ago...

In our company it would be a break of the work contract - aka you could be fired for it.

Definitely consult HR if you want to use it at work and only if they give you a *signed* waiver, use it.

Otherwise no. Like big fucking hell no.

That also applies btw for using company hardware privately. Even in this case, as you share sensitive data of a company owned device, it would be a contract violation.

The same goes btw for sharing company code on sites like stack overflow or stuff like that... This can definitely be seen as a breach of confidentiality and hence be a reason to be fired.

Even in Germany.

We need license to exclude AI training I guess

@joewilliams007 underrated comment

@WildOrangutan technically anything that requires credit or a license file to be included would fall under this.

They don't include the MIT license with code that was generated off of MIT licensed projects.

Microsoft is breaking copyright law, blatantly.

Unfortunately nothing will happen to them.

Welcome to the cyberdistopian hellscape motherfuckers!

As someone, who did alot of reverse engineering.
Developing new is nearly always faster than reading other peoples crap. If you didn't invent a new algorithm or did something really special noone cares.
