Using Copilot even as a mere coding assistance is insane, if no other reason than you're sending all your code to Microsoft, and you also let them monitor your work habits in uncomfortably intimate details.

    I'm using Copilot to help with bash scripting when I get stuck with the script. I'm aware they'll be able to see all of my scripts but: • I'm willing to share all of my scripts with anyone who wants them, so I'm OK with it, if MS can see them. They're all FOSS literally and figuratively. • Copilot is incredibly helpful with scripts, much more helpful than the 10 year old kid named ChatGPT. When I ask Copilot to explain a certain part of the script, it explains it in an understandable way, unlike quite a few other AIs.

    My code is hosted on our selfhosted GitLab instance. How many companies host their code on GitHub? I’m seriously asking…

    Does GitHub offer some sort of contract or agreement for those companies? Not an expert on these things, things like NDA’s, uptime guarantees, etc.
