@tante@tldr.nettime.org I moved all my projects off of GitHub when the "AI" craze started.

I'm not alone.

  This is a good PR thing for Microsoft/GitHub on first glance but the more you look at the details the more it becomes clear that this is a simple solution that doesn't fit the issues that dominate the domain. Sure you can give Open Source maintainers access to GitHub people and GitHub Copilot but who are you helping? Worst case is more open source projects having to deal with the extra work of double checking and fixing the generated code.

    I've been expecting something like this since the XZ hack, but still ... frustrated/annoyed/sad to see Microsoft and 13 (!) partners jointly announcing that their answer is to “educate” open source maintainers. It's nice that they're compensating maintainers for the time spent on that training, but ... compliance with corporate security policies is still a whole lot of ongoing, unpaid work after that? Sigh. https://github.blog/news-insights/company-news/announcing-github-secure-open-source-fund/
