Microsoft would need to pay me to use Copilot. Seems like a major scam for them to learn from our code and then tell us we can’t use it to make our own competing AI systems. “Limits on use of data from the AI Services. You may not use the AI services, or data from the AI services, to create, train, or improve (directly or indirectly) any other AI service.” From https://www.microsoft.com/en/servicesagreement#13r_AISer…

I can't wait for IntelliJ to get where Cursor appears to be. Being able to combine a great IDE with project-level AI coding will be a huge leap forward.

I'm going to feel personally offended if Jetbrains drops the ball on this. Seriously, this here right now is the precise moment in time where people will either look back at wondering how such a clear leader managed to sink into insignificance, or not. I love IntelliJ more than my own kids, but if they don't add "the AI does not just talk about what code to create, it actually creates it, across multiple files and fo…

This is such a common lazy cynical take on HN. “Microsoft is evil, therefore they will destroy their enterprise customer relationships by stealing their enterprise customer data, despite the fact that they explicitly state they will not do that.” I would understand this mindset when it comes to consumer uses of it, but enterprise is where Microsoft makes its money and it would have to be the dumbest business decision…

Please reconcile that idea with o365. There are areas where Microsoft knows (or at least behaves as though) they have an effective unchallenged monopoly, and off boarding is too costly an endeavour.

I ditched Copilot for Cursor and never looked back. Cursor might be the only other AI product with product market fit than ChatGPT, it's that good

Has anyone who uses an IDE (e.g., JetBrains, not a code editor) moved to Cursor? I've downloaded it a few times because everyone raves about it, but I've always come back almost immediately because editors can't reliably make changes across projects (among many other things)... What am I missing? FWIW I use GoLand w/ Supermaven, currently.

“Please reconcile that idea with o365” Please explain. Vague insinuations mean nothing.
