I just logged in on the iOS app and it immediately had a popup giving me the option to opt-out.

So yeah, annoying, but they handled it well.

Agreed. I actually want and need Claude and other LLMs to learn from my interactions with them. Exceedingly frustrating that LLMs do not yey hold a longterm memory or embedded trace of conversations per user. I have been asking Anthropic for this option as an opt-in for 6 months.

Sure, I understand the concerns many if you have.

But in my niche areas of cognitive research, genetics, and neurophilosophy I need Claude to be much smarter than it is now. I am happy to share what I know with Anthropic so that zi eventually have a better companion thinker.
