A Research Preview of Codex

Just curious: is your company happy sharing their code-base with an AI provider? Or are you using a local installation?

why not? OpenAI won't be stupid to look at my code and be that vulnerable legally. It ain't worth it.

Cursor has enterprise mode which forces a data privacy feature.

Companies commonly share their code with SAAS providers. Typically they'll have a contract to prevent usage otherwise.

It is a cost benefit trade off, as with all things. Benefits look pretty good.

The cost of sharing your code is unknown, though.

For 99% of companies, their code is worthless to anyone but them.

They literally scraped half of youtube, made a library to extract the audio and released it as whisper.

Of _course_ they are training on your shit.

For copying the product / service yes it is not worth much .

However for people trying to compromise your system access to your code can be a valuable asset .The worth of that could be well beyond just enterprise value of the organization , it could people’s lives or bring down critical infrastructure.

You don’t just have access to code you created and have complete control to. Organizations have vendors providing code(drivers , libraries…) with narrow licenses that prohibit sharing or leaking in anyway. So this type of leak can open you to a lot of liability.

Under what circumstances would that cost be high? Is OpenAI going to rip off your app? Why would they waste a second on that when there are better models to be built?
