Most AI only sends a limited context. These are sending all files it can access as well as all edits.

  > These are sending all files it can access TBF, Cursor's code indexing works the same way, it has to send all workspace files to their servers. Auto-completion systems need previous edits to suggest next edits so no surprises their either.

Yes because there's no difference between a voluntary service with limited context needs and a malicious extension

  Cursor is a malicious extension though, and nobody seems to care.

“I donate money to animal shelters” “Oh that’s cool, I already donate to my local neo nazi group. We are both philanthropists!” Nothing makes me go from apolitical to a red blooded American faster than seeing someone make a stupid false equivalency about the US on this forum

  You did hear about Snowden and the massive NSA data collection ? That was almost 20 years ago, think about what it's like now: they probably use our data to run an elaborate simulation of everyone.

    Yeah, I’m not against the guy I was replying to at all. I don’t want my data in any government coffers. The false equivalency of state sponsored threats in China to a private American company just triggered me. I’m definitely with you on the nightmare hellscape that is being cooked up by the NSA.

  Shocking news: not everybody here is from the US. In fact, many even are from "hostile countries" that are "enemies of democracy". What's more, some of those people aren't aligned with US interests and aren't willing to put their lives on the line for CIA operations!

  It wasn't China that recently threatened with an invasion of Greenland (I'm Danish). That being said, it's not like you would want your data to go to either countries.

    Yeah man, you said it best, we don’t want data going to either government. I’m just not sure Cursor is affiliated with the government. Also, sorry about the whole US threat thing. Nobody I know on the ground here is happy with how we look on the world stage.
