There's absolutely no way I'd share my codebase with some fly-by-nighter ~crypto~ AI company, but the codebase I work on is upwards of 60 million lines of code

  At 60 Mloc? Sure, for now I'd agree. An AI needs to use other tools to handle that kind of size, it doesn't (practically) work so well if you try to hold the whole thing in context. And while tool use is being worked on, the results I've seen are are the "that's an interesting tech demo" level rather than the mind-blowing change when InstructGPT demonstrated the ability for a language model to generate any meaningful code at all from natural language instruction.

  > I work on is upwards of 60 million lines of code so I doubt any "AI" solution would come close to being useful. that's what rag is supposed to solve: they chunk your 60M loc, and then retrieve and process only relevant depending on your inquery.
