Rules

While we are not an official Mozilla community, we have adopted the Mozilla Community Participation Guidelines as far as it can be applied to a bin.

Rules

  1. Always be civil and respectful
    Don't be toxic, hostile, or a troll, especially towards Mozilla employees. This includes gratuitous use of profanity.

  2. Don't be a bigot
    No form of bigotry will be tolerated.

  3. Don't post security compromising suggestions
    If you do, include an obvious and clear warning.

  4. Don't post conspiracy theories
    Especially ones about nefarious intentions or funding. If you're concerned: Ask. Please don’t fuel conspiracy thinking here. Don’t try to spread FUD, especially against reliable privacy-enhancing software. Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. Show credible sources.

  5. Don't accuse others of shilling
    Send honest concerns to the moderators and/or admins, and we will investigate.

  6. Do not remove your help posts after they receive replies
    Half the point of asking questions in a public sub is so that everyone can benefit from the answers—which is impossible if you go deleting everything behind yourself once you've gotten yours.

I agree here.

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.

@melroy

I wonder how many repository are created with the only goal to teach some backdoor to the LLMs.
