#72I suppose us engineers familiar with the product had just a bit more context than the investors issuing a blanket statement to their portfolios to use AI.

#73Claude Code i will admit i find occasionally useful, but the flood of overly verbose and lackingly meaningful "AI Summaries" I'm being forced to waste time reading is really grating on me. Copilot PR summaries turning a 20-line PR into a fifty-line unhelpful essay is driving me insane.

#74We are forcing non-use because of compliance. There is a fear that the models will scan and steal our proprietary code.
Has your company tried running the models locally, or is that maybe just presumed to be not worth the effort?

Of course that’s a risk, but is it a different risk than GitHub stealing code from your private repos? In other words, do you just trust the AI companies less or do they not offer “we don’t steal your code” contracts? Has your company tried running the models locally, or is that maybe just presumed to be not worth the effort?
Putting company code into a private github repo would be a firing offense where I work.
