Very disappointing, but who doesn't train on user data? It's the only moat they have

I had the option, and had it disable everywhere, manually. The only one I didn't use, at all, is Anthropics service because of iffy Dario aura and their terms of service. Where is training in user data enforced and not possible to opt out?

i don't get the legal aspect of this

if you sign the contract (click I agree on Terms of Service), and it says that they do not train on the data, by what right can they backtrack on that?

Maybe it is assumed that they notified you and you have the right to terminate the contract? Relying on some clause where the contract can be updated at any time. Or terminated at any time (with the presumption that a clause change is a termination and an automatic signing of the new contract, but that's weak)

I think it only goes for new users/orgs. I was caught between the time they changed the default and updated their docs. I don't believe they would alter users/organizations exiting choices. In facts, from some of the responses it seems that some still retain the toggle to opt out their entire org.

I wonder how much the progress is slowed down just because most companies don't train on consumer convos. Assuming they really don't.

I'm sure that the 3 users they have are very pissed about this news.

I'd send them a GDPR request, if I had an reason to use their fifth rate cloud models.

the rapid enshittification in LLM hype cycle is something else.

Got to love the private equity parasites ruining everything for the sake of profit.

I didn’t realize Mistral was owned by private equity.

I mean they all do it right ? Mistral is just the first one to publicly say it.

They wouldn’t dare train on language inputs from the wild, but they will happily strip out any code snippets you’re providing and sell/train on that à la GitHub/Copilot. File uploads too

What? They dared train on random websites like reddit, training on language inputs from the wild is the name of the game
