alt Hacker NewsAnthropic is shady too my guy. Claude Code will frequently re-ask you to turn on data sharing even after you've said no, it's dark patterned like a task approval, and once you turn it on it's harder to turn off than OAI makes it.

I hedged my comment by using the conditional tense + “less shady”, because I couldn’t find such issue reported. If you have a link I would be interested to read it. I’m just not aware of shady behavior from Anthropic with regards to training on user data

OpenAI and Anthropic are but two players. There are others too. You have choice.
I've been asked over 15 times by Claude code to turn it back on (with the prompt defaulted on so if you accidentally hit enter your data is sucked in if you don't catch it).
I do think it ended up being after a power outage though and it was some kind of config corruption.
They did say "less shady" but at this point Anthropic and OpenAI are approaching parity.
