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

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.

Any halfway competent company using AI has a confidentiality/no-training clause in their contract.

The rationale seems to be that it will learn all crooked if you talk to it nasty.

Which brings up two questions:

• Why is it learning anything from any interaction I have with it? Particularly when I have a paid-for agreement with the company that promises never to train their models on my code. Clearly that's a lie then.
• If the model gets all out of whack because I abused it, why don't they reset it? In fact, I fully expect Anthropic to reset the chatbot's sandbox each time a new customer uses it. Otherwise, by definition, the damn thing's performances might be affected by the previous use case, and it might barf out data I gave it to the next dude who uses it. This is basic data sanity. If they don't do that, they're fucking incompetent.

I honestly assume (given my experience with the precursors to LLM's) that this is because there are humans on the other side of most AI who do read through at least some of the chat data. We saw this with moderation on places like Xitter, and with Amazon's AI corner stores that allegedly charged things to your Amazon account allowing you to walk in, pick something up and walk out. That's just to name a few.

It's not that I don't also think that their claim that they don't train their AI on chat data is a complete farce. Just that I think it can be two things at once and one of those things they're more comfortable saying out loud. It's complete bullshit that they lie about either one, and honestly I think I should get to treat inanimate objects and services I pay for however I want within reason (I.e. I wouldn't be cool with anyone generating something illegal.like CP). I don't use AI but this whole "we'll ban you if you curse at our chatbot" thing is nonsense.

Someone should get another chatbot to insult Claude - or better, to get Claude to insult itself - to see what Anthropic will do 🙂

Future dystopia: AI vendors may refuse to serve certain individuals, which will make them unemployable because no company wants to hire people who are locked out of AI access.

They're probably also salty that they can't train on any of those "abusive" conversations.

Slurs fucking suuuck!
