Anthropic users face a new choice – opt out or share your data for AI training

techcrunch.com Connie Loizos 2026-01-09 12:43:12

Anthropic is making some big changes to how it handles user data, requiring all Claude users to decide by September 28 whether they want their conversations used to train AI models. While the company directed us to its blog post on the policy changes when asked about what prompted the move, we’ve formed some theories of our own. But first, what’s changing: previously, Anthropic didn’t use consumer chat data for model training. Now, the company wants to train its AI systems on user conversations

futurism.com Unknown 2026-01-09 10:17:37

Our solar system's latest and only third known interstellar visitor is becoming more fascinating by the week. Spotted in early July, the object, dubbed 3I/ATLAS, is widely believed to be a comet. It's traveling so fast that one look at its speed was enough to let astronomers know that it came from untold thousands of light years away. And it may even be older than our entire solar system. Now, the James Webb Space Telescope has turned its mighty eye — specifically, its Near-Infrared Spectrogra

‘Tron: Ares’ Uses Elements From a Decade-Old Script

When Tron: Ares hits theaters in October, it’ll be the end of a 15-year roller coaster ride. The second Tron, Tron: Legacy, was released in December 2010, and almost immediately, talks began about a sequel. In that time, multiple writers (15, in fact), directors, and actors attempted to return to the Grid only to fall short. But now, it’s coming, and it’s very different from what fans expected 15 years ago, though some key elements remain. One of the first writers brought on to pen Tron 3 was D
