Firefox also has a setting like this, although I think it's even nicer in that it makes everything (current and future) AI default to opt-out, but still lets you opt in to specific use cases if you want.
replyFirefox took an awfully long time to get that global setting. It was clear that Mozilla Corp hoped they might be able to push AI services as a revenue generator, before the AI pushback.
replyZed is one of the best editors I've ever seen, I always worried the mention of AI would put off people who are missing out on a truly amazing editor.
replyThe thing that really puts people off about Zed is "VC-funded"
replyHacker News is not for you then.
replyThere is a healthy dose of VC skepticism here. HN is here for that.
replyI think they meant that ycombinator is literally a VC shop
replySo if being VC funded puts you off an editor, being VC funded may also put you off ycombinator.com
Yes, indeed it does. I didn't feel this way until I worked for a YC-backed startup tho. I mean, YC is the first to admit that not everything needs to be VC funded and some things just aren't good fit for that funding model. I think a code editor is one of them.
reply> Yes, indeed it does. I didn't feel this way until I worked for a YC-backed startup tho.
replySame, same.
Nothing made me skeptical about the tech industry like working for a VC-backed startup. Ugh.

replyFully agree. I also feel like a lot of companies do not need to be on the stock market, especially if they're reasonably profitable, feels like the stock market is where you go to let go of more of your company just to get rid of the VCs whom you owe a lot of money to.
I remember when I was learning about entrepreneurship in college I was baffled by their insistence of an “exit strategy”. The idea just seemed so foreign to me. See I naively thought the point of starting a business was to do the business, not to not do it and sit next to a pile of money instead. Silly me.
replyIt's rare to find so many grazing in their natural habit, so it's a great place for vc-watching.

replyIt did, verifiably here. Based on their own marketing, I thought it an alternative to Codex, not Codium.
replyKnowledge of this setting has shifted my perspective considerably.
edit: not enough to ditch Sublime, however.
VSCode has this too: chat.disableAIFeatures
