The EU considers breaking the rules and confiscating state and private assets normal to apply some political pressure on the opponent. They should expect US to do the same, because why not, especially under Trump. Given this, it's stupid to hold state's gold reserves in the US.

The EU themselves "froze" (essentially confiscated) Russian assets, both state and private.

That's one of the reasons the housing market is so inflated. The goverment forces people to invest into housing.

Desperation for what exactly? More control?

You got it backwards. US makes it impossible for skilled migrants to come and settle down. EU countries make it much easier.

Copilot is a 2-year-old product, it's expected that many people use it. I agree it currently may be better than AI Assistant. But LLM functionality is here to stay in IDEs, and most people will use it in one way or another.

Nobody forces stuff onto you. You can disable everything with just one checkbox.

Please finally read the issue you linked. This happens when you disable the plugin and immediately uninstall a plugin update. If you just disable the plugin it stays disabled.

Thanks!

I guess the main reason the plugin is enabled by default is to promote it. AI tools are becoming an important part of the development workflow, with a majority of developers using a chat LLM or Copilot (https://www.jetbrains.com/lp/devecosystem-2023/ai/). So the functionality offered by the plugin might be interesting to a large part of the user base. A non-bundled plugin would not be discovered by most users. And for organizations it looks like the AI assistant is disabled by default.

Regarding the direction - LLMs are usually used as a service right now, so there's not much choice. At the same time, JetBrains is also working on local smart completion workflows like https://plugins.jetbrains.com/plugin/14823-full-line-code-co.... Hopefully at some point there'll also be an option to use a local LLM with the AI Assistant.

Have you actually read the description of this issue? It's a UX bug with the uninstall action.

A lot of text and it's still not clear what you're trying to say. Just disable the plugin if you don't need it or don't find it useful?

What's so useful about cursor apart from inline prompts?
