@ryanc @swheritage I'm already seeing in their list of opt-out GitHub issues that they've included some people's code that is "all rights reserved", and some people's GPL code.

@ryanc @swheritage Also, no language model is capable of obeying an attribution clause, which is in almost every license.

Hey, in case their transphobia wasn't enough for you, @swheritage is yoinking all the code on GitHub -- regardless of license -- to train a generative AI that plagiarizes code.

No matter how many times they say "ethical", it isn't.

@swheritage To find out if they have appropriated your code, you can check "Am I in The Stack?": https://huggingface.co/datasets/bigcode/the-stack-v2

However, _do not believe their supposed opt-out_. I mean, sure, submit an opt-out if you want, but I know how they operate -- they'll just keep doing whatever they want and never process any takedowns unless the law makes them.

@ryanc @endrift @antlers @swheritage oh actually I ended up reading the UK’s version of the GDPR and it sounds _powerful_

@ryanc @endrift @antlers @swheritage good luck! They have never replied to my takedown notice but I bet if you’re in the EU you’ll have a better shot

@ryanc @endrift @antlers @swheritage and yeah they now have my birthdate and birthplace and a scan of my ID, all for nothing it seems

The Software Heritage Archive (@swheritage) wants to deadname me forever.

Part 1 of 3-ish.

@antlers @swheritage If the goal is to engineer a complex solution that meets all of SWH's goals while respecting trans people, it turns out it's even more complex than this. I haven't gotten there in the story yet

But it would require them to work with trans people to develop the solution, which they won't.

More relevantly, by now, they also won't consider easier solutions that work against their goals, such as taking down their archive of ftfy.

[this actually happened to me, in 2019]

Cute girl: So. Before we proceed. How do you feel about Marx?
Me (nervous): Umm look I guess I'm a socialist but I don't really know enough about the political theory behind it
Her: ...
Me: I'm sorry
Her: ...
Her: Marks. Can I leave marks on your skin
