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.

    “Oh no, people are using information I put publicly available on the internet for everyone to see!”

    Morons. The lot of you.

    Edit: I rest my case.

      I did it to invite collaboration and connect with other developers with similar interests. FOSS is more about building communities than building software, after all.

      I did not anticipate that it could be (legally) used to dismantle the kinds of communities I wanted to build. (I did anticipate that it could be illegally used to that end, but historically that has tended to cause a Streisand Effect, so that risk seemed worth it.)

        If people still want to be part of the community, they can.

        You’re just coming up with reasons to fit in with the crowd.

      Sure. Let’s see if they use it for endeavours in the same spirit.

      Or are you fine with they using this data for-profit without benefitting the public by also making it open?

      (not talking about hf, I know starcoder. just in general)

        Maybe you should’ve released your code under a license with that stipulation.

        In all honesty, you’re just coming up with reasons to fit in with the crowd.

          Give me a crystal ball next time and I’ll do it genius, use your common sense.

          Seems fitting the one thinking about “the crowd” the most is exactly the one trying to be the most distant from it. Projecting much are we?

              Hey, sure. I’m doing all kinds of gymnastics to think the ones profiting off our public data are in the wrong, I’m just in it to fit in and be in the crowd sure! Whatever makes you feel different. Hope your mirror works someday.
