alt Hacker NewsThey 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
