Hey all,
I just found out while I was on vacation about Github's copilot feature.
Basically, it appears to be a machine learning feature that trains
itself on all publically available code on github and provides
code suggestions to any public or private repository.
https://github.com/features/copilot
There appears to be a lot of controversy around it in foss groups, so I
thought it might be worth bringing up here. I added the council and
trustees because I thought it might be worth bringing to their attention
as well. In particular, I see concerns about gpl projects being on github
if they can't opt out of this.
Thoughts?
William
