Anthropic has added a new line to its AI usage policy: Users should not “engage in sustained and needless abusive or cruel behavior toward our models.”

AI models are not just trained before they’re released, they’re also constantly being updated and learning from user inputs.

If you read this and you're not alarmed at using coding models on your company's proprietary software, you're insane.

    I am anti-AI for many many reasons (many ecological), but this one is also an absurdly bad point about “our” AI - the AI we are getting shoved down our throats

    My main reasons for disliking AI are:

    • The way it's being recklessly rolled out by fascist-adjacent dystopian privacy-invading Big Data monopolies for nefarious purposes and for profit at any cost.
    • It makes everything effortless, unrewarding, valueless and joyless.

    Which is not to say that the way it wastes the planet's resources isn't on my mind. It's just all the more damning because they're being wasted to achieve nothing of true value to humanity.

    • it’s using so much energy, water, land while creating unmeasurable air and noise pollution

    • it’s hailed as a god while it trips on its own words

    • unreliable

    • stealing data to train (massive can of worms that they are trying to hide)

    • rolled out, as you said, without guardrails

    • literally makes people stupid and/or insane

    I don’t think that’s all, but the first things that come to mind

    This implies I care about my company's code. I'm here for the paycheck for at least a few more months before AI replaces me, and when I'm out, AI is still going to be looking at that code. At least for webdev, the fight is all but lost.

    Enterprise contracts opt out of using code/employee context as training data.

    Does that mean all that data will never get misappropriated? Oh, ohh hell no.

    I've seen a LOT of really big players who have been historically paranoid AF about data security just roll over and be fine with Anthropic.
