Are you implying having your code on GitHub means Microsoft accesses to your IP ?
Yes, that's how they trained copilot and that's why they are currently on trial about it (but that damage has been done).
Where can I read about this? They're on trial for training copilot on private repos? This is huge.
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.
