I mean, it’s probably one of the reasons why they bought GitHub.

Tangentially related, but has anyone else seen the Crowdsource app by Google? I have never seen anything more disgusting. They gamified data harvesting and we're so deep into late stage capitalism that they can be completely upfront about its purpose being to train their own AI, that will surely not be free, without anyone batting an eye (and I wouldn't even be surprised if they also grabbed the opportunity to keep profiling their users further). That's something I'd see from a nonprofit that makes only open source models like EleutherAI, not a huge mega corporation

That's 7 years old.

And is in fact how you should do this. Open and opt-in. The whole point we're angry here is that other companies do it without asking.

Oh, I only noticed it yesterday.
I agree that it's better to be opt-in, rather it should be the only way, but I mean the whole concept seems twisted to me, I would doubt that Google too wouldn't use their other countless streams of data to feed their own datasets with the fake opt-in of account registration on top of that specific application
