I feel the same way too. But guess what, all the code you did not publish gets into the training corpus anyway (when you gave Codex or whatever full read access to your filesystem).

That's only if one is stupid enough to give an LLM access to their computer. Don't do that, it's incredibly irresponsible security wise.
The vast majority of people are in fact this stupid.

I recently had trouble connecting to a new AP on my laptop. After a quarter hour of frustration, I connected to the AP of my phone, asked Claude Code what the problem is, and she found the issue in seconds. I didn't allow her to make the actual changes, but she did have read access to everything, and helped me considerably.

So network-manager gets a new bug report about too-long non-ASCII AP names, I get online, and I don't know maybe Anthropic sneakily learned something from my local python projects. I am one of those vast-majority stupid people.
