> Anthropic is clearly stating they will use their own judgment to control what people can do with its product

Haven't they been perfectly clear about that from day one with the ToS? I'm not saying I like it but it hardly seems unreasonable.

> they will treat customer data as if it's theirs to disseminate

Not sure where you're getting that. What you quoted in no way implies that.

No. They did not have triggers that "paused" work from day one and only recently ramped it up to up-sell Mythos and a verification program meaning that in my opinion any code Claude creates is suspect as it can not perform a proper security analysis. I now have to divert half my spend from Anthropic to Grok. I would prefer to not do this. I am not converting a room into a data-center or spending enterprise level funding on my hobbies.

Sure, recently their service seems to have degraded somewhat. But that's orthogonal to what the expectation is regarding the judgment of the provider. None of the major players have ever presented their service as a free for all to do whatever you'd like with. There have been abundant boundaries outlined in the ToS of all providers that I'm aware of from day one. So the expectation then is that they might choose to exercise their judgment regarding your queries, and that they are inspecting them in some way (fully automated or otherwise).

Sure, their loss.

You could always ... Write your own hobby code.

I am learning to. LLM's have been a great teacher for me and they have patience to deal with all my dumb questions and I have no shortage of them.
