Microsoft’s GitHub next month plans to begin using customer interaction data – “specifically inputs, outputs, code snippets, and associated context” – to train its AI models.

They bought it 8 years ago lol
This is true but I always felt like there was an ulterior motive behind it.
Like wow all of a sudden MicroSoft cares about open source code and contribution? I always felt like they did it to figure out how add backdoors into stuff somehow but then again I am a paranoid person and always assume the worst with companies in the tech field
I think their motive was internal usage and classic embrace/extend/extinguish, along with github was generally well liked amongst its users, so maybe gives MS a bit of a boost on that front.
I can not imagine they knew what was coming with LLMs but I definitely could be wrong.
Oh and they offer it to businesses so it’s another feather in their MS365 ecosystem cap.
