Your questions in this thread aren't making a lot of sense. Microsoft owns GitHub, so obviously hosting your code there means "sending your intellectual property to Microsoft" in some sense.
Of course it does, but when I pay fora private repository, I expect it to e private. I've never seen or heard of any evidence that my private code is used to train ChatGPT-4 and or Copilot. So with all due respect, you and the parent aren't making much sense.
It would be an incredible breach of trust if MS was found to be doing this.
We use OpenAI directly, not Azure
But isn’t OpenAI funded by Microsoft in the form of Azure compute?
That’s not how funding works, Microsoft can’t read your data.
Yeah ok, I was just pointing out that the data is ultimately being sent to Microsoft owned infra.
does microsoft own github?
I bet you could look that up
is this a rhetorical question?
I think the point being made by using "Microsoft" here was basically a stand in for "other random people".
