@zackwhittaker so does this mean that everyone that works for a shitty company that requires them to use AI is now also going to have to give a third party private information or lose their job?
Hooray for the surveillance state!

No wonder Jeff Bezos signed a "strategic partnership" with Anthropic, then immediately narc'd Anthropic to the feds.

@zackwhittaker Good thing that in Europe there are very strict laws on how companies are allowed to use (or for that matter transfer to third parties) personal data of employees.

as if we didn't already have way too many reasons not to use an LLM products already, requiring giving your data to someone as untrustworthy as persona is certainly another major reason to avoid this.

I don't think that's gonna go as well for them as they're hoping.
I mean, obviously, we'll see. I just suspect they're going to edge out some folks who'd otherwise sing their praises.

@FinFangFoomed @zackwhittaker If a company wants to use Claude and Claude wants an ID, how about giving Claude your employee ID? If your employer won't trust them with your employee ID, you shouldn't trust them with your driver's license.

@paul_ipv6 @zackwhittaker That's no problem for us, but what worries me is that so many others will just go ahead and do it. Especially quite a lot of developers apparently are all in on using Claude for coding and people, in general, are so resistant to change they'll sell their souls rather than change what they've decided they like. These things have a tendency to somehow manage to get us too via ricochet so to speak.
