How is believing that Microsoft is being honest about how they use your private GitHub code and they don’t use it to train Copilot any different than believing Anthropic if you opt out? Every company I listed is training models for their business - I’m not saying they are using your data.

Any company that doesn’t have an enterprise contract with Anthropic and uses Claude Code is an idiot.

But if you really want to have that warm and fuzzy, you can always use Claude Code via an AWS account and Bedrock hosted Anthropic models. I assure you that AWS (former employer) is not using your data when you use Claude with Bedrock/Anthropic to train their models. Amazon may be evil. But they are not stupid.

I understand that working for Amazon will have given you the typical unjustified sense of intelligence and authority, and entirely insular sense of the world, that people tend to have when they work for FAANG, but you need to do your best to fight against it, dude.

You don’t know about every organisation. You don’t know about their risk profiles. Are you saying that the two-person bootstrapped spare-time side-project is the creation of two “idiots” because they don’t have an enterprise agreement with Anthropic? What about the organisations where the code is more-so incidental aspect of their organisation, rather than the secret sauce? You know that this is the vast, vast majority of organisations, right? Do you genuinely think that your code is so precious that anyone else having access to it (let alone munged up in an LLM) will be in any way detrimental to the business? That is very, very, very rarely the case. We’re all capable of reading ‘Designing Data-Intensive Applications’, I assure you.

		If you read my initial reply where I said your information is already out there with 100+ SaaS products for the average company. I agree with you, Anthropic could care less about a two person vibe coded startup that will never go anywhere or a random CRUD app. But the OP was concerned about big company things. So they should have big company enterprise agreements. FWIW, I’ve been working for 30 years across ten companies and only 6 of those years are with any company you have probably ever heard of - General Electric when it was still and F10 company and Amazon - it was my 8th company. I don’t consider myself “ex-FAANG”, it was a job I got at 46 with every intention of only staying for four years. I hate large companies and would rather get a daily anal probe with a cactus then go back to one (Google/GCP was a serious option a year ago). My bread a butter before I went into consulting was small less than 100 person company. Even we had enterprise agreements then (for those doing the math, I worked in the cloud consulting department at AWS -ProServe. Everyone who works in the department are “blue badge” full time RSU earning employees. Google has a similar department)
