I assumed they'd been doing it all along, regardless.

#282What 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.
AFAIK, Apple hasn’t done this yet.

#283Haha, grifters gonna grift.
In future news:
- Anthropic reverses stance on token limits, all plans cost double and limits are halved
- Anthropic introduces ad mode
- Anthropic partners with Palantir to deliver democracy at scale
This is getting to be more and more hilarious each day.

The are valued at $170 Billion. Not quite the same as, but in same order of magnitude as OpenAI - while having only a single digit percent fraction of active users. They probably need to prepare for the eventual user data sellout, as it is becoming increasingly more obvious that none of the big players has a real and persistent tech leadership anymore. But millions and millions of users sharing their deepest thoughts…
Companies all seem to turn against their users whenever they have revenue/earnings trouble.
For social media at least it's important to remember that the users are the product, not the customer. Trying to squeeze additional revenue from your product is SOP.

Personally, I'm able to write code I wasn't able to before, like functions heavy with math. For game development, this has been super helpful, when I know basically what inputs I have, and what output I need, but I'm not able to figure out how the actual function implementation should be. Add a bunch of unit tests, let the LLM figure out the math, and I can move on to more important features. For me this been a prett…
Sure, I’m more productive with it in certain aspects of my work as well. Does that make it a net positive for humanity? From the energy consumption impact on climate change alone I would say the answer is clearly no. And that’s before we even talk about the impact on the next generation’s job opportunities. And tons of other issues like how Big Tech is behaving.
> Does that make it a net positive for humanity?
That I don't know, and probably no one else, way too early to tell. I only responded to a comment stating "LLMs aren't a fundamental or core technology, they're an amusing party trick", which obviously I disagree with as for me they've been a fundamental shift in what I'm able to do.
> From the energy consumption impact on climate change alone I would say the answer is clearly no.
Ok, I guess that's fair enough. So if someone happens to use local models at home, in a home that is powered by solar power, then you'd feel LLM starting to be a net positive for humanity?
> And tons of other issues like how Big Tech is behaving.
This is such a big thing in general (that I agree with) but it has nothing to do with LLMs as a technology. Big Tech acts like they own the world and can do whatever they want with it, regardless if there are LLMs or not, so not sure why anyone would expect anything else.

Except LLMs aren't a fundamental or core technology, they're an amusing party trick with some really enthusiastic marketers. We don't need them.

The LLM will tell you an approximation of what many responses on the Internet said the math should be, but you should have the knowledge and check if it's actually correct.
An LLM can give you a hazy picture, but it's your job to focus it.

#288That’s unfortunate. I believed Anthropic was playing the long game and betting on a smaller but more technically proficient userbase.
I guess I’ll be canceling my subscription largely out of principal. I doubt any open-source models are capable of handling my use case as well as Claude (typically focused on getting up to speed with various ISO/IEEE standards for the purpose of security testing) but I’m sure I’ll find a solution.

There is far more money to be made building atop this data than selling this data. Your opening statement seems to disagree with your closing statement.
is there money to be made? I thought they were all losing money…
Investments are all about "losing" money first to make money later, it's not a paradox.
Re: Updates to Consumer Terms and Privacy Policy
#290Claude 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.
When you get the pop-up about the new terms, select the “opt out” option. Then your chats will not be used for training.
Well, theoretically they won’t.
Anyone who’s worked in an engineering team is familiar with someone forgetting to check ‘if(doNotDoThisCondition)’.
This is why (among many other reasons) opt-in is more user respecting here than opt-out.
