Most AI only sends a limited context. These are sending all files it can access as well as all edits.

TBF, Cursor's code indexing works the same way, it has to send all workspace files to their servers.

Auto-completion systems need previous edits to suggest next edits so no surprises their either.

Yes because there's no difference between a voluntary service with limited context needs and a malicious extension

Cursor is a malicious extension though, and nobody seems to care.

“I donate money to animal shelters”

“Oh that’s cool, I already donate to my local neo nazi group. We are both philanthropists!”

Nothing makes me go from apolitical to a red blooded American faster than seeing someone make a stupid false equivalency about the US on this forum

It wasn't China that recently threatened with an invasion of Greenland (I'm Danish). That being said, it's not like you would want your data to go to either countries.

You did hear about Snowden and the massive NSA data collection ? That was almost 20 years ago, think about what it's like now: they probably use our data to run an elaborate simulation of everyone.

Shocking news: not everybody here is from the US.

In fact, many even are from "hostile countries" that are "enemies of democracy".

What's more, some of those people aren't aligned with US interests and aren't willing to put their lives on the line for CIA operations!
