Clearly some employees of Anthropic personally looked at individual inputs and outputs of their API

I thought that was pretty open? Even their more privacy-oriented Zero Data Retention agreement (which isn’t so easy to get on your business account) includes an exception “where needed to comply with law or combat misuse”

that creepy feeling of "being watched" has mostly kept me from taking advantage of any SOTA models, i only dabble in a few local ones.

The level of detail does not seem surprising. they're both charged with maintaining a facade of privacy while eliminating any and all miss-use. Certainly they heavily analyze basically everything given to them.

And generally as a society we've been ok with basically zero privacy as long as the data we send stays inside the company we sent it too. Google reads all your emails? Sure thing, read away, just don't send them to the popo. Apple knows when you're ovulating? no problem, just don't tell Amazon. etc

I use my local models to generate input for the SOTA models, so there is enough noise that the companies don't know what is real or not :)

in the year 2026 is there really anyone out there still who thinks that anything they do online is private on any way?

This feels very planted. Wouldn't be surprised if this some attempt to look patriotic with the DoW turning up the heat against Anthropic.

Literally could just have someone working at the embassy roleplay on their lunch break in a cafe to generate this evidence.
