- turnsout 1y agoYou can't opt out of the data retention policy.
- smca 1y agoThe data retention period is 30 days if you don't choose to improve model training. https://www.anthropic.com/news/updates-to-our-consumer-terms#:~:text=If%20you%20do%20not%20choose%20to%20provide%20your%20data%20for%20model%20training%2C%20you%E2%80%99ll%20continue%20with%20our%20existing%2030%2Dday%20data%20retention%20period. https://www.anthropic.com/news/updates-to-our-consumer-terms...
- turnsout 1y agoOh, I didn't catch this—that's good news
- superposeur 1y agoOk, to be clear, let’s say I’m dumb and accidentally go with the default (I get the color of the opt out button wrong or something). As if there’s a “publish my private emails to the internet” default-on button in email. Then, I use it to edit a rec letter for student X, with my signature Y. (Yes I know this is dumb and I try changing names when editing but am sure some actual names may slip through.) A few months later the next model is released trained on the data. Student X asks Claude what Y would write in a rec letter about X. Such a button is a “wings stay on / wings fall off” button on a plane.

- behnamoh 1y agoJust because all the others do it doesn’t make it right. Many users chose Anthropic exactly because they were not like the others.
- wolvesechoes 1y ago> Many users chose Anthropic exactly because they were not like the others. Oh the naivety. Sooner or later they all become the same, soon after "investors" or "shareholders" arrive.
- behnamoh 1y ago> Sooner or later they all become the same, soon after "investors" or "shareholders" arrive. They already arrived. Google was one of the main investors of Anthro.
- KoolKat23 1y agoThere's no reason to be shocked by the practice however.
- const_cast 1y ago> Many users chose Anthropic exactly because they were not like the others. Companies are less like people and more like bacteria. They are programmatic, like algorithms. What they will do has already been decided for them, programmed into them, by the rules of capitalism. It is inevitable. There are no good guys, and there are no bad guys, there's just... microbes. Those who do not engage in capitalism, perhaps they do not seek money at all, have no such hard limitations. But they are rare, because money is blood.
