A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.

JetBrains IDE starts collecting code from users to train its AI ("option" enabled by default for many users) (blog.jetbrains.com)

Relevant snippet:

We’re now adding the option to allow the collection of detailed code‑related data pertaining to IDE activity, such as edit history, terminal usage, and your interactions with AI features. This may include code snippets, prompt text, and AI responses.

Comment:

So if I accidentally Cmd+V a slightly-sensitive string into my IDE, I now have to consider that string compromised? Even if I'm just doing some local testing? If I paste someone's name in, that's potentially me causing a data breach? What?

I thought they're a Czech company headquartered in Amsterdam

Yes, I work with people who have worked directly with the people at JetBrains. From what I know they are very friendly very western people. I can't imagine them being involved with Russia in any way.

I can also find zero sources online about this. The closest is Russia using security vulnerabilities in JetBrains software, as they do with all software. Security vulnerabilities that were handled appropriately by JetBrains.

There is however a very public statement from JetBrains about Russia and Ukraine stating they've pulled out of Russia. They got their people out and stopped anything they did there. Including work on a new campus they already put money into.

Long story short, JetBrains are good people creating useful tools. That dude made the whole thing up for unknown reasons.

I'm gonna refrain from commenting on the "spyware" accusation, but it is a fact that the company is founded by (ethnic) Russians and the majority of their employees are Russian.

This is from their LinkedIn; check out "Where they studied", at least the top 4 of those places are Russian:

can't blame people for where they are born
