Can someone please do some security research on this to see what it sends when it calls home?

I'm terrified to install a binary like that

These things will never be completely safe, from version to version, to new management. As Darth Vader one said, "I am altering the deal."

If you want the same thing but not as sketchy you can check out Cursor. You pay them, so it's a little more transparent what they're getting out of it.

VScode phones home… what's the difference?

Use something like emacs/vim/kate/eclipse/qtcreator if you want to avoid "phone home" software.

If an American company does something bad with my data, it's possible -- not guaranteed, but possible -- that it will be punished.

If a Chinese company does the same, at most someone in China will shrug.

But giving it to the government in USA is considered "good", so they won't be punished no.

Unless you are using self hosted llm, you can assume all the code is being sent to the server. This is true for all similar services.
