It's sending information to parsoid.wmflabs.org, and for now that's
intended behavior. We may change the way this information is collected
later, but for now it lives on labs, where the Parsoid developers
collect and analyze the information.

Even though Lukas's video shows a failed XHR request in the console,
the data was most likely submitted successfully. This is because we
use cross-domain AJAX to POST the data, and jQuery's attempt to read
the response (which is empty anyway) is blocked because of same-origin
restrictions, which causes the error you're seeing. At this point the
information has already been submitted, though, so the error is a red
herring. This behavior is clearly suboptimal and misleading, but it's
a minor issue at this point. It's tracked as
https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=42974 .
