Anthropic Will Use Claude Chats for Training Data. Here’s How to Opt Out Anthropic is starting to train its models on new Claude chats. If you’re using the bot and don’t want your chats used as training data, here’s how to opt out.

Awesome idea. If you do switch, I recommend to opt out of data sharing for training (a good idea regardless of which AI is used)https://www.wired.com/story/anthropic-using-claude-chats-for-training-how-to-opt-out/

Thx for the fun recap and your thoughtful reflections. You voiced many of my own reactions and led me to even more insights. Not only did I love the film, seldom have I enjoyed so much β€œafter movie” discussions. As you brought up, the direction makes us take sides.

Mind blowing insights into how DHS came to be 23 years ago, why ICE is now out of control, and what we can do about it. All delivered by John Oliver with laugh out loud humor.

My viral load passed 700K, so it was time to restart meds. While the N-803 therapy wasn’t effective for me, the data will hopefully help the research. One unexpected wrinkle: Dovato isn’t recommended over 500K, so I’m on Biktarvy until I’m undetectable again.

Very cool. Which arm of the study are you in β€” N-803 alone or with antibodies?

It’s been a month since I stopped my HIV meds as part of N-803 study. Over the last 2 weeks my viral load has gone to 2600 then 318K. It’s been disquieting after 30 years to no longer be undetectable. Soon either the numbers start coming down (yay!) or I restart meds.

Just before Foundation came out on Apple TV, I reread the first book. I was appalled at the misogyny and ashamed that I had been oblivious to it when I first read the books as a teenager. At least Apple did a decent job of bringing women into significant roles in the series.

Reading the brief it seems the core is the settlement does not provide any guarantee of access. This complaint is from a plaintiff that appears in many similar suits, and the class action website not being accessible is concerning.
How do we stop the bad apples otherwise?

Ugh. This is a troubling use of AI and tech by our government.

a similar bug happens Safari browser on iOS (iPad) when the website data gets over about 250 Mb. After clicking to view a post/replies, using back to return to the feed goes back up to the top. Clearing website data for bsky (temporarily) fixes it. I reported it. May not be related to yours tho.

I'm pissed off and frightened by the invasion of Venezuela. I wrote to Sen. Adam Schiff urging him to use his influence with colleagues to stop this unauthorized war and recall troops.
