this is the business model of all companies training AI, if they had to get permission we wouldn't have frontier LLMs at all
So it's OK to do stuff without permission as long as we get something that makes a lot of people a lot of money?
Most companies would bury this change in a deceptively boring T&Cs update, but we value transparency, so here's what you need to know in an internet-friendly numbered list: Users on our EU cloud instance are opted out by default So too users with agreements that prevent training (e.g. BAA, MSA, or similar) All other users on our US cloud instance are opted in by default We will anonymize all data before it's used for…
That's actually an interesting note. So you all will be managing the training runs on hardware you own or rent and manage?

Which we probably need to consider changing now that some truly bizarre and evil shit is being done on donor organs: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48212992
Off topic but I'm curious what's evil about that article. Bizarre, sure, but evil? They took a brain (an organ) from a dead person who had previously given consent to use their organs for that purpose.
Not the brain, the center of conscience, being kept in some sort of horror-movie half-alive state. I do not think we understand consciousness enough to rule out what those brains are experiencing.
AFAICT this now gives them default permission to train an LLM on your code (as Posthog telemetry data is inextricably tied to your code) use it, and even sell it if they wanted to (as it's not your data anymore, it's their model). Yikes.

Gross. They’ll use your product and your data to later sell a product back to you.
I’ve now made our decision. We won’t be using them.
If they are going to position yourself as the non-slimy no-BS guys, they can’t pull this nonsense.
