The context is that they made a blogpost that's written in, at least in my opinion, extremely pleading tone. They are basically crying that they can't make a good AI with public data, and if you please could turn on their new AI data collection that would steal all your code. I've seen a few "we will use your data for AI" posts, and this was just unsettling, with the tone in which it was written.

I can't really say why, but I find this style of communication pretty unsettling. It does have exactly the same wibe as the picture in the post.

So, if you pay for their IDEs, nothing changes, but you can opt-in into them using your data for AI training, and they are pleading you do. If you use the free version, it's opt out and turned on by default.

Oh, not sure about that honestly.
