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

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'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.
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.
  
  students
  So that means half their training data is going to be on first year CS students
  
  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.
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.
I feel there will be big JetBrains leak with all the stolen code they say it's secured with restricted access.
this is why i stil use sublime text. it edits code with none of the bloat.
- Vim.
  
  Helix.
  
  *nano
  
  Ed.
- Try Zed. It’s a lot like VSCodium (de-MS’d VSCode), but written in Rust, so it’s stupid fast.
  
  last i heard zed was ai slop :/
