Just curious: is your company happy sharing their code-base with an AI provider? Or are you using a local installation?

- asadm 1y agowhy not? OpenAI won't be stupid to look at my code and be that vulnerable legally. It ain't worth it.
- KaiserPro 1y agoThey literally scraped half of youtube, made a library to extract the audio and released it as whisper. Of _course_ they are training on your shit.
- asadm 1y agothats publicly accessible shit. my code is trade secret and IP. I would litigate that shit if a line I wrote ends up in public model, easiest money to be made.
- frontalier 1y agoyou will litigate nothing, and if you do you'll be dismissed anyway. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shira_Perlmutter#Firing https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shira_Perlmutter#Firing
- KaiserPro 1y ago> my code is trade secret and IP Which is the same law that protects "publicly accessible shit". In the same way that you can't legally just rip MP3s off the internet[1], or copy movies and distribute them. [1] unless you're rich.
- bhl 1y agoCursor has enterprise mode which forces a data privacy feature.
- kleiba 1y agoSo only in "enterprise mode", huh. Interesting, thanks.
- pixl97 1y agoCompanies commonly share their code with SAAS providers. Typically they'll have a contract to prevent usage otherwise.
- nmca 1y agoIt is a cost benefit trade off, as with all things. Benefits look pretty good.
- layer8 1y agoThe cost of sharing your code is unknown, though.
- philomath_mn 1y agoUnder what circumstances would that cost be high? Is OpenAI going to rip off your app? Why would they waste a second on that when there are better models to be built?
- odie5533 1y agoFor 99% of companies, their code is worthless to anyone but them.
- manquer 1y agoFor copying the product / service yes it is not worth much . However for people trying to compromise your system access to your code can be a valuable asset .The worth of that could be well beyond just enterprise value of the organization , it could people’s lives or bring down critical infrastructure. You don’t just have access to code you created and have complete control to. Organizations have vendors providing code(drivers , libraries…) with narrow licenses that prohibit sharing or leaking in anyway. So this type of leak can open you to a lot of liability.
- kleiba 1y agoIf that was true, hardly any company would be opposed to open sourcing their code base.
