I suspect you are greatly overestimating the average organization's ability to run a Git server themselves and keep it secure, while also overestimating how evil GitHub and LLM's providers are.

The commenter may be overestimating the first one, but i do think LLM providers are evil

Nothing to do with LLM providers, more that giving private source code away to clouds and expecting them not to steal it day 1, is utterly naive and irresponsible.

What do you mean by "steal it"? What are they doing with that code that's underhand?

That Reddit post failed to link to the announcement, so I tracked it down: https://github.blog/news-insights/company-news/updates-to-gi...

> From April 24 onward, interaction data—specifically inputs, outputs, code snippets, and associated context—from Copilot Free, Pro, and Pro+ users will be used to train and improve our AI models unless they opt out. [...]

> This program does not use:

> Content from your issues, discussions, or private repositories at rest. We use the phrase “at rest” deliberately because Copilot does process code from private repositories when you are actively using Copilot. This interaction data is required to run the service and could be used for model training unless you opt out.

So yes, pieces of your private code can end up in training data if you're using Copilot with it and don't opt out.

The Reddit comment said "your private repo context will be used to train their AI models by default" which is an inaccurate summary.

Half of your comment is true.

Nice gaslighting.
