Agreed. We used to balk at $300/yr subscription but here we are forking over almost that much a month. Granted, I’m more diverse with AI than without it but still. I’m with you, best subscription I ever made.

I was puzzled by that at first, but I think it makes sense if you think about it this way: we made the IDE work (including all the magical AST transformations), but the AI does work on our behalf.

Paying for an IDE is fine. Letting them train their AI on your code isn't. I don't have the rights to give access to third parties. What I'm working on isn't even anything special, but that doesn't change the fact that I don't have permission to give JB access to it.

Edit: I misread the non-commercial bit. Regardless, I making it opt-in by default is scummy, imho.

How much do you trust them to keep it to "just" non-commercial though...
