I wonder how much sloppier coding models will get as they train on more slop.

If you use GitHub (especially if you pay for it!!) consider doing this immediately

Settings -> Privacy -> Disallow GitHub to train their models on your code.

GitHub opted everyone into training. No matter if you pay for the service (like I do). WTH
