I do trust Anthropic, i haven't observed them doing super shady stuff like hiding the training consent page and making you WAIT for it to activate.

You really shouldn't trust any company. Their goal is maximizing profit and that is (usually) not aligned with "doing what's right". Not in the long-term at least.

We really need a new Hanlon's razor for companies. Assume malice over ignorance because groups behave differently than individuals.

You mean the company which trained on others books, won't train on its own user generated data?

AFAIK, the court held that the problem was that they had acquired books by pirating them, not that they trained an AI on those books. They do train on user generated data by default, but you can opt out, that's the whole point.

Let's not down vote a factually correct comment that makes you emotionally disagree with me. I'm very concerned in regards to my privacy, I've studied ToS of: Openrouter, Anthropic, Anthropic business, opencode Go etc. I've double checked my understandings by GDPR exporting all my data. Anthropic sub listed a generic "logged in from Linux", "UA", "timestamp", "Country". That's it.

I want to discuss actual facts, observations and not your shallow social signaling replies of 0 value.

I mean weren't everyones privately shared chats Google searchable?

User doesn't understand how public links indexing works.
