And this is a surprise how?
The entire digital economy is based on spying. It’s called corporate surveillance and it’s been around for 25 years. Why would AI escape this business model? If anything, it turbocharges it.
NO SHIT.
Microsoft looks at the data you send them? God forbid.
Wait wait wait. Hold on. Okay. Okay. Wait.
Wait so - Microsoft?? Has been spying? On its own customers?!?
I just . . . I mean, it . . . I don’t know what to say!
i giggled
Who would have ever thought they could stoop so low!
Oh wait, every single person on the face of the planet.
I’m shooked I say. shooked!
Well, not that shocked.
I’m mildly shooked then.
That was a Futurama reference I was continuing that I thought you were making. Lol.
Here is an alternative Piped link(s):
Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.
I’m open-source; check me out at GitHub.

Given how hard they’ve been pushing Copilot/Bing Chat/etc I’m not surprised
Isn’t that their business model? How else can windows be offered for “free”?
As a bad Python scripter, I’m stuck using Microsoft’s AI because there isn’t a privacy-focused alternative anywhere near as good.
Don’t overuse AI, there is plenty of resources on the web and at least you can practice reading docs. Use Phind. https://www.phind.com/privacy
Check out github copilot
Not free. But it’s cheap paid and supposedly privatey focused.
“If you’re not paying for a product, you are the product.” Shame usually it’s both!
Github copilot pirates other peoples code. Legally that’s hard to pursue buts its enough to make me dislike them.
Oh their model is 100% taken from public repositories. I doubt they bothered to even filter it out to open source/fair use code.
My issue here is AI isn’t going to replace my job, but an engineer who uses AI as a tool would replace me…
It’s still Microsoft. Here’s what they say about privacy anyway:
I’m aware. I looked into it regarding your source code being used to train their ML. I looked over the FAQ and got the “Your code is your own.” vibe. Sadly it does point to their standard Privacy statement that could change anytime and allow them to do what they want.
Will my private code be shared with other users?
No. We follow responsible practices in accordance with our Privacy Statement to ensure that your code snippets will not be used as suggested code for other users of GitHub Copilot.
