Would be a terrible shame if lots of people opted out.

If you are a EU citizen you might also want to write a complaint to privacy@huggingface.co because they are collecting your personally identifiable information in machine-readable form which they are distributing to third parties.

    We want to give developers agency over their source code by letting them decide whether or not it should be used to develop and evaluate machine learning models.

    fuck them seriously; if you want to do that then don’t steal the repositories in the first place.

        It’s not, but it may be violation of licenses. And also, if it has personal information on it, that’s probably illegal under the GDPR.

      Meanwhile at work we just had a training course that specifically said doing “opt out” instead of “opt in” violates the principle of informed consent.

        Notice how a shit load of these people keep turning up to be rapists and pedophiles… They have no shits to give about informed consent. In their mind you don’t even have the right to the same agency they do.

      Kinda hope it uses my code. It’s so terrible there’s no doubt it will make the resulting code from the model worse even if the impact is miniscule

      Unless I’m mistaken, this wasn’t written by the folks that scaped GitHub in the first place, someone just wrote a small tool to semi-automate the process of searching the scraped dats, and submitting a GitHub issue to have it removed.
