JetBrains is a company that, creates one of the most popular IDE for many programming languages. Although some of them are free, there is a paid option for 200€ for their full pack for a year (you can pay monthly, and you can choose a smaller pack or individual IDE). Also every year you pay the next one is cheaper.
They also have an AI agent Junie and an AI chat assostant, both currently running on Claude Sonnet 3.5 and 4 (can choose).
They also offer a free AI, which is running locally and can do very simple autocomplete and doesn’t support any chatting ability.
However, as you might know, AI usually needs some code to work with. This autocomplete AI can be enabled to run online as well, thus sensing your code to either JB or Claude.
Of course, both chat and agent require internet access (but all this online functionality can be disabled and everything can be connected to custom AI model running locally or elsewhere, except I think agent).
OP is implying that they want money for their IDEs, their AI, and gobble up code fragments.
I know about JetBrains and their AI agent, etc. I’m wondering if they recently did a switcheroo on their license/privacy policy/something that basically states “all your code are belong to us” now?
The context is that they made a blogpost that’s written in, at least in my opinion, extremely pleading tone. They are basically crying that they can’t make a good AI with public data, and if you please could turn on their new AI data collection that would steal all your code. I’ve seen a few “we will use your data for AI” posts, and this was just unsettling, with the tone in which it was written.
I can’t really say why, but I find this style of communication pretty unsettling. It does have exactly the same wibe as the picture in the post.
So, if you pay for their IDEs, nothing changes, but you can opt-in into them using your data for AI training, and they are pleading you do. If you use the free version, it’s opt out and turned on by default.
Context, please?

Oh, sorry, I should’ve been more specific.

Oh, not sure about that honestly.
