ℹ️ "Paying through the nose":

█ paying much more than it is really worth to a person (as example. people forced to give a % of all earnings to government)

I think it's a lot like physically (my variation in picture with slightly different meaning);
█ like an animal attached by the nose and lead / heavily taxed for others to live off... by those who are not interested in leading properly and more interested in owning people / treating them like #animals!)

Saved my eyesight with low contrast on monitor for years...

👀 Low contrast on monitor for years now... (same on mobiles)

I have my screen on 0 brightness and 10 contrast (that;s 10 from 100!) which I believe is also the screen being too high for 10 still visible but without squint or problem used for years and I even feel the different at 15 or 20 'if I really need to see something' lol...

My media page is still good as a result of saving my eyes

"Some #JetBrains customers feel strongly about AI Assistant and really don't want the plugin to be present in their JetBrains applications at all"

JetBrains' unremovable AI assistant meets irresistible outcry

Some devs just don't want anything to do with neural-network code serfs

Thomas Claburn, Thu 1 Feb 2024 // 20:24 UTC

JetBrains introduced an AI assistant in December to help programmers write code. Now the biz is trying to figure out how to allow its customers to get rid of it.

"JetBrains AI Assistant is similar to GitHub Copilot, but it’s deeply integrated into JetBrains development environments (IDEs), code editors, and other products," the software development tool maker, based in the Czech Republic, said at the time.

While neural-network-powered services have been widely hyped, they come with baggage – concerns about the security, legal risk, privacy, and ethics of large language models remain largely unresolved.

Google, Microsoft, and OpenAI have opted to offer indemnify customers under certain conditions to reassure those worried about potential legal claims arising from generative AI.

But not every outfit offering AI services can make this bet and in some cases there's a cost. For example, Zoom last August had to clarify that it would not use people's chats and calls for AI training despite a change to its terms of service that allowed that.

Some JetBrains customers feel strongly about AI Assistant and really don't want the plugin to be present in their JetBrains applications at all, whether that's due to corporate policies that are incompatible with AI Assistant or other concerns. But because the plugin code has been "deeply integrated," removal has proven complicated.

More than dozen threads on JetBrains' YouTrack issue board have been posted seeking a way to delete, uninstall, or otherwise excise the AI Assistant plugin since it debuted.

A thread titled "Provide the possibility to remove a plugin completely from the system" makes the case for why one might not wish to have this plugin baked into the company's developer tools, such as the PyCharm, IntelliJ IDEA, and other applications.

oftware developers posting to the support forum raise a number of concerns, calling the plugin "bloatware," a risk to corporate intellectual property, a security issue, an annoyance, and a breach of trust.

"I just want to make it clear that I cannot use this product at the company I work for because security will not allow for a by-default AI implementation to be a part of the product," wrote an individual posting under the name Rusty Deaton.

Another developer posting under the name Marcus Grenängen wrote, "This is unacceptable. It should not bundle something by default that can send off the entire code base to God knows where. It's a real bad move JetBrains and I will not renew any subscriptions after this. It's a breach of trust that can't be undone."
'Dubious'

Yet another developer posting under the name Alan Burlison opined, "The fact that this service is AI based and that you don't know the provenance of the code it provides to you is a huge issue on its own, due to the dubious licensing/IP/legal situation it creates. But the biggest issue is not because it's AI, it's because it is leaking the user's company's IP to who knows where, potentially to direct competitors."

In a statement to The Register, Matt Ellis, developer advocate at JetBrains, tried to address misapprehensions and to reassure to those alarmed by AI Assistant's persistence.

"Although the AI Assistant plugin is bundled, and the plugin itself is enabled, there is no AI functionality enabled by default, and no data is sent off-machine without your consent," said Ellis, echoing similar replies posted to some of the discussion threads. "You have to log in, accept the data policies and either purchase a subscription or start a trial."

Quotes:
- "There is no AI functionality enabled by default, and no data is sent off-machine without your consent"

- "Any data sent to the AI service is not used for training. We also have ML support for ranking and completion, and this is provided by on-device models and no data is sent off device."

Ellis said JetBrains has a lot of customers who are happy with the bundled plugin and so the biz is looking into how its AI helper can be both bundled and fully removable.

- "The problem with removing a bundled plugin is that it can break application signatures and cause problems with updates," explained Ellis.

Asked what portion of JetBrains' customers have objected to AI Assistant, a spokesperson said, "We can't say for sure how well these opinions represent the position of all of our customers. We understand the strength of feeling, and we're listening to feedback from all parts of our community, including the many happy individuals and enterprises that are using the AI Assistant." ®

Artificial Intelligence... is it me or doesn't 'Artificial' in it's name give away what it is?

Like:
artificial flavouring
artificial additives
artificial people
artificial flowers
artificial insemination
artificial info (from computer
and who knows who behind it)
artificial screen
artificial as in aesthetics of maybe info we could get some other way more direct

At least partly in each sense of these words
where "artificial" is not usually wanted and often faked
on top as another layer, manipulated by other people / BigBiz + Governments mostly

We are losing culture when we use money, when we value things in such ways the culture becomes about money.
Much like tourism loses culture or over-focuses to exploit the culture, this process tries to feed money instead of living as culture as the priority.
People and nations lose culture from isn't considered valuable by the money culture.

#Putin -> #Russia <- #Ukraine #UkraineRussianWar #Everywhere #Bank -> #Finance(s) -> #War <- Taxes

This picture reflects culture of education. Almost being paid to read would be best!
If the culture is not reading, not in constant but not military-like education study of life, if it's not praying for goodwill to others, learning what respect is etc etc - then it's likely your culture will lean towards unhealthy things and eventually war...

What is it you've been putting off / delaying / not wanting to do?

Be ready to work with disappointment.

Never think you know your heros from afar. (Expect unexpected good and bad - have process for both). ❤️
