I didn't trust them much to begin with, so I generally avoid talking too much personal stuff with Claude. But I had plenty of chats with surface level discussion of topics I'm interested in and some of my relevant experience and history with those topics. So, I have deleted all my chats and am closing my Claude account (as soon as customer services get back to me; somehow the self-serve option is missing for my account, possibly because I once enabled API access). I'll use Claude with my employer's Copilot account, but was I wasn't putting anything personal there anyway. Time to learn how to do local models...

This change didn't grant access to your old chats and can be opted out. Good job you overreacted without reading.

  For now. Once this settles in they will change the terms again, with no opt-out option.

    It must be so tiring worrying about pointless future things that aren't happening yet.

      I don't really worry about them for products I don't use, though.

      > pointless future things that aren't happening yet I remember all those things that wouldn't happen since the 90s and which definitely ended up happening starting with all that crap from Microsoft. It's not cyberpunk anymore, it's real life.

      The opposite happens. You make the decision to reject or leave that service, and then you no longer have to think about that thing any more.

    The privacy policy references the privacy center for the conditions. They don't actually need to change the terms to retain and use data within the 5 year window. They can update the privacy center instead.

  In the late 00s a few friends sent me “connect with me on Facebook” messages. I thought “this looks suspicious, I don’t want to, but it seems all my friends are communicsting here now…”. So I joined, and in 10years everything I worried could happen with FB did, and much much worse. So, I’ll trust my gut more on this one.
