Re: Updates to Consumer Terms and Privacy Policy
#262Claude assists me in my math research. The scenario that concerns me is that Claude learns unpublished research ideas from me as we chat and code. Claude then suggests these same ideas to someone else, who legitimately believes this is now their work. Clearly commercial accounts use AI to assist in developing intellectual product, and privacy is mandatory. The same can apply to individuals.
This perfectly describes one of the biggest dillema with AI. Where does an AI company stop to utilize human knowledge it does not actually own. Where do they draw the line. Apparently it's possible there aren't any lines drawn at all.
You can’t own knowledge. Intellectual property is a legal fiction invented to prop up industries.
You can no more own knowledge or information than you can own the number 2.

#263What a surprise, a big corp collected large amount of personal data under some promises, and now reveals actually they will exploit it in completely unrelated manner.
I can only think they have been doing it for a while and now they are trying to be compliant with whatever certificate requires it.
It's an AI company, why wouldn't they use the most precious data they have?
Re: Updates to Consumer Terms and Privacy Policy
#264Am I the only one who finds the branding and privacy policies around these AI services (possibly deliberately) confusing? For example Anthropic have an Anthropic Console that they appear to consider quite distinct from Claude.ai. Do these share a privacy policy and related settings? How do either of these fit in with the named plans like Pro and Max? What are you actually paying for when you give them money for the v…
Generally if you are not paying full price for something (in this case paying API rates) you are covering the additional cost with your data. This is true for pretty much all modern services.

#265You can opt out, but the fact that it's opt-in by default and made to look like a simple T/C update prompt leaves a sour taste in my mouth. The five year retention period seems... excessive. I wonder if they've buried anything else objectionable in the new terms. It was the kick in the pants I needed to cancel my subscription.
I got a pop-up when I opened the app explaining the change and an option to opt out. That seems very transparent to me.
It should be off be default, with the option to opt in.

#266It was nice knowing you Claude / Anthopic.
This type of behavior has a penalty, that penalty is trust. You lost it.

#267Why are we linking to Perplexity.ai AI-generated slop summaries of other news articles instead of the actual announcement? Reading the actual announcement is more clear : https://www.anthropic.com/news/updates-to-our-consumer-terms Some important points: An in-app notification pop-up will alert you to the change. You can opt out in the pop up. I was able to opt out right now by going to the Privacy section of Setting…
> An in-app notification pop-up will alert you to the change. You can opt out in the pop up.
The in-app notification that I got was a pop up which contained some buttons and some images. There was no text. Just in case it was some dark mode issue I checked the DOM and I couldn't find any text there either. I just clicked outside the modal and it went away. I assumed it was some announcement about some new feature and ignored it.
I did end up seeing the news yesterday in Reddit (I'm having issues getting the research tool to actually being used, tried to see if there was some recent changes) but it's unlikely that I was the only one who experienced modal the issue & if those didn't follow the tech news they could easily miss the change.

#268Not a surprise. All the major players have reached the limits of training on existing data—they’re already training on essentially the whole internet plus a bunch of content they allegedly stole (hence various lawsuits). There haven’t been any major breakthroughs in model architecture from the major players recently and thus they’re now in a battle for more data to train on. They need data, and they want YOUR data, n…
It's nice to see the newer models are suffering after being exposed to training on their own slop. If they had done this in a more measured way they might have been able to separate human from AI content such as doing legal deals with publishers. However they couldn't wait to just take it all to be first and now the well is poisoned for everyone.
> It's nice to see the newer models are suffering after being exposed to training on their own slop.
I've seen zero evidence anything of the such is occurring, and that if it was, it's due to what you claim. I'd be highly interested in research suggesting both or either is occurring however.

If someone had told me 10 years ago that the typical HN front page in 2025 will look like this (and that #8 may be the UK), I'd never have believed it. And I worry we still have further to go before hitting bottom. 1. Anthropic reverses privacy stance, will train on Claude chats 3. Gun Maker Sig Sauer Citing National Security to Keep Documents from Public 4. Tesla said it didn't have key data in a fatal crash. Then a…
10 years ago, would you have believed that AI would have progressed to the point where it can code?

#270Earlier quoted context omitted.
Everywhere else in Anthropic's interface, yes/no switches show blue when enabled and black when disabled. In the box they're showing about this change the slider shows grey in both states: visit it in preferences to see the difference! It's not just disappointing but also kind of sad that someone went to the effort to do this.
This is probably because there are laws in some countries that restrict how these buttons/switches can look (think cookie banners, where sometimes there is a huge green button to accept, and a tiny greyed out text somewhere for the settings).
Can you provide an example?
