They do require that you allow them to use your name publicly.

They are silent on whether you can prohibit them from training on your input, so I assume you can.

My guess is, if even 10% of maintainers forget to disable training, then Anthropic will have a most excellent source of how really good developers approach problems that can be fed back into the model. That could improve things for everyone.

Of course, the whole purpose of a trial is to induce dependence on the service. Let’s hope that doesn’t reduce the skill of those maintainers. If open source code gets better as a result, that’s good for all.

I was tempted about applying but that part is everything but nice and I think I'll just pass

There's no non-disparagement clause, so how about you left them use your name etc, and then you can come out in public and say those mean things and shame/embarrass them.

		Sure, but what I'm slightly worried about is people easily resolving my username to my real name. Maybe I worry too much, dunno

Of course they're going to train on open-source input (not like you could stop them).

And of course they're also going to train on your private inputs. It's right there in the TOS.
