I think it's very likely. This is the reason why I stay on GitHub Copilot business for the time being as a solo developer. I assume that Microsoft has less incentive than Antrophic to break the business agreement and use data for training or re-sell it to Antrophic. If I was using the heavily discounted subscription plan from Antrophic, I would 100% assume everything is fed to the machine. I'd rather pay whatever the API costs, than give it an exact recipe to build my product.
The human brain is not made for multi-tasking. Multi-tasking will always be a productivity and focus hit. This was the point of the article.
> To me, this is similar to being honest. You don't want to depend on a system or checklist for being honest. It is something you always need, as a policy. Focus is like that. If you want to focus seriously on something, just make it a policy, and don't use all these tricks as crutches.
I found that I need a lot of guardrails and "crutches" as you said to be at peak productivity. Maybe something is wrong with me, or maybe it's the Dunning-Kruger effect.
I think I would trust Amazon more than Antrophic, since they have no models of their own, they have no business collecting your data for training, while Antrophic most certainly does.
I'm seeing this with Costa Coffee and Starbucks. They are both changing to a very cheap, plastic white, bright design. Why? So people spend as little time as possible sitting there, so there's a higher turnover.
Workspaces solve this problem better. Cmd + 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,0 It's like having 10 monitors in a single one. Though if I remember right, the switch is inefficient on Mac OS, but there's some workaround to that.
> I've been playing with SEO for this website, and I learned that Google prefers human content because (they are not gonna say it) it needs to train, it cannot train on what it has already trained on. Google's crawler is hungry for human content
This is the reason why you can hardly trust AI companies to not train on your code. If you care about privacy, I think it's best to use Antrophic models via a third-party provider like GitHub Copilot (business) or Amazon Bedrock.
