Why is everyone so careless about letting Claude Desktop upload their source code and/or private data to its servers? Or maybe I'm too paranoid for caring about where data go.

The codebase I am paid to work on is a dog's breakfast, largely agglomerated over many months by offshore contractors. If Anthropic includes it in their training set, it's their own funeral.
VeniceAI is great for privacy focused hosting of open-source models. Hopefully they add Qwen 3 Coder (which appears to be on par with Claude 4 for coding) to their API, then I can use my tools with it.
Because my employer tells me it’s fine so long as we’re using it with AWS Bedrock. Do I believe that Amazon then wouldn’t be siphoning all this as model training data? It’s a fun conspiracy…
