My assumption is x.ai will be training on any code hosted here


Same for all other AI companies too.


What do you think github copilot is trained on?


Not on my private repos? That would be.... very illegal.


How is it illegal if it is in the ToS? (I didn't check)


If it were in the ToS I imagine there would be huge outcry and all the enterprise customers would leave immediately and sue.


When has that ever stopped any of the big AI corps?


Outside of Musk companies? All the time? Google workspace doesn't train on your email. Gmail does. Any b2b targeted services absolutely protects customer IP. It's one of the most basic requirements.


All of the major companies have been caught training on illegally acquired data. The law doesn't matter to any of them. It makes sense that Google would care about their own paying customers, but that's for commercial reasons, not for any particular concern for the law.

What is your best example?


Anthropic committing, by their own admission, $1.5bn in copyright infringement.


I think Source Hut has 0 ai features. Or time to start self hosting.
