Better AI Depends on Better Data: We Need Your Help | The JetBrains Blog

TL;DR Over the past few years, AI has made remarkable progress, but it doesn’t always deliver what professional developers need. One key reason is that most models are trained on public datasets th

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’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:

        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.

                someone asked why i said it’s banned, I answered, i’m not gonna dox myself for the opinions of internet strangers

                one of them even managed to state the reason then missed the point by accepting corporate pr at face value lmao

                they had corporate stuff hosted in russia

                  Lmao how’s providing a source doxxing yourself? Unless you are your own source, which would make these unhinged claims more understandable. Just because your head is so far up your own ass that it’s back on your shoulders doesn’t mean you are right.

                    lmao explaining that literally defeats the point

                    i told you the why, devs had people and hardware hosted in Russia this has already been verified in the comments from the devs own statements

                    you don’t believe me? impacts me none

                    between that and the op this gonna be a good lol down the road i’m sure
