The new and updated data-sharing options will be released in the next couple of weeks with the upcoming 2025.2.4 update of JetBrains IDEs. Non-commercial users will get a notification about the updates in the terms of use. For holders of other types of licenses, if you never provided consent, nothing will change.

It sounds like they’re contradicting themselves in the mail they sent:

Previously we said we wouldn’t use your inputs, data, outputs, or suggestions to train AI models. This is still the case, unless you explicitly allow us to do so

(emphasis not mine)

The word explicit doesn’t IMO cover anything but informed opt-in, not opt-out of any kind.

It looks like it’s opt-in for everyone except those who get Ultimate for free (students, open-source maintainers, etc). Paid Ultimate is opt-in, free Ultimate is opt-out, and the free Community editions are opt-in with a for now attached.

Ugh…. And I was thinking about giving Rider a try too.

Neovim it is!

Edit - after reading some more… it looks like you can easily opt out? Opt in would be better, of course.

Neovim is a great choice anyway.

students

So that means half their training data is going to be on first year CS students

Oh no, that sound rather chaotic…

I’m still running v2023.1 because that’s the last version before they stuffed so much AI into it that my CPU screams constantly while running it. The writing is on the wall with those guys.

this is why i stil use sublime text. it edits code with none of the bloat.

Vim.

Helix.

Try Zed. It’s a lot like VSCodium (de-MS’d VSCode), but written in Rust, so it’s stupid fast.

cupcakezealot@piefed.blahaj.zone on 03 Oct 10:42 collapse

last i heard zed was ai slop :/

Dumhuvud@programming.dev on 03 Oct 11:58 collapse

It is.

zed.dev - check out the video on the front page. Most of it (2:08 - 6:18, the whole video is 8:40) is shilling for an integrated LLM.

gravitas_deficiency@sh.itjust.works on 03 Oct 17:10 collapse

I mean… I just don’t plug in or use any of the LLM shit, and it works quite nicely. You’re not forced to use that part of it, no matter how much they try to market it.

And if it gets to the point where it’s truly unavoidable, there’s always the “fork it and strip it” option, since the code is open source.

It’s genuinely impressive how the whole ecosystem of proprietary software is speedrunning enshittification at an unprecedented rate. The net is tightening, and the only escape is FOSS.

dohpaz42@lemmy.world on 07 Oct 13:08 collapse

My conspiracy theory is that AI is already running our tech companies, and that’s why everyone and their brother is pushing hard for AI integration, despite everyone knowing AI is nowhere near ready for public consumption.

CEO’s are almost universally out of touch with reality, and usually chase trends thinking it will help them get higher profits and garner more investment. AI is just the newest bandwagon for them to mindlessly jump on.

I feel there will be big JetBrains leak with all the stolen code they say it’s secured with restricted access.
