While I don't / won't use the slop machines, I'm not entirely convinced that they haven't / won't just add a Copilot Free account to my VS or GitHub accounts: They did just this to my (now canceled) Office account.
I do think that a lot of people are missing that it's just Copilot data that they're using to train, not all of the repository data hosted on GitHub (or don't trust that it will be only Copilot data long term).
For me it just means one more thing to move to our own servers (we always self hosted SVN)
