This is just recycling the same old arguments people used against cloud infrastructure. “If you host your email at Microsoft, they _will_ scan it all to get competitive advantage or sell it to your competitors.” Did they? No, it worked out fine. Same with hosting your application at AWS instead of on owned hardware in a locked cage at the local co-lo data center. Although of course the same argument was made against co-locating in a data center! Long ago an engineer carefully explained to me that no serious business would put their data in a co-located data center since the data center operator could just plug in a hard drive and take it all. It turns out that contracts do actually mean things, and businesses want to do business with each long term. If you’re at a tier where Anthropic contractually commits to not train on your data, I would just sign and move on. Still does not address ecological concerns, of course.
