The author argues that current AI pricing is unsustainable unless the models are used to mine data for the next performance leap. They then highlight growing privacy concerns surrounding AI coding tools: - Reports suggest some tools clone entire codebases to the cloud. - OpenAI's Codex may use conversations and code for model training unless manually disabled. - Anthropic allegedly requires enterprise users to retain prompts and responses from their most powerful models for 30 days. - Conclusion: Companies handing private data directly to these labs should consider routing through private AI platforms.
