I’m so curious how they monitor users. Like that person the other day talking about Claude helping with their torrent stack, will Anthropic report them for breaking the law?

Let's just say it's better not to risk it if there's anything you might not want them to see because they see everything. There are local models which are very capable and can be run on cloud if running on own hardware is not an option, which still gives better privacy. Second best are Chinese models. Just a few years ago I never thought I would trust Chinese software more than American, but things change so fast.

  • The first time a Chinese model is used against China they'll get locked down hard over there too. China is into social stability way more than the US.

    • Unfortunately it's much less likely to happen for their managed models because surveillance is built-in in every public-facing service since day-one.

Yeah if was in the US i would be very careful about talking to a us based llm about reproductive health or immigration stuff. no way they arent storing stuff about you that the government can easily get to

Yes. There were cases already where a person asked about killing someone and then Anthropic/OpenAI warned the police about it. If I'm not mistaken, it was not in the USA only
