Ask HN: Can I trust GitHub not to use my code for LLM training?
I have a growing concern regarding the safety of my source code.
Some of my personal (Edit: still professional, I'm a one man conpany) projects rely on algorithms and technologies I consider special. So far LLMs haven't been able to reproduce them (I check from time to time), keeping me safe from being overrun by competitors.
I store my source code on GitHub. If GitHub leaks my source to an LLM, my competitive edge is lost forever.
I know there's a setting for allowing/disallowing using my source for LLM training. But my livelihood being at stake, can I trust it?
What's your take? Do you trust it? No Nope. I removed my personal code from GitHub a few weeks ago. Did you switch to a self-hosted setup, or are you just keeping your repos on local machines now?
