Enterprise opt-out is on by default; opt-in customers contribute to training. The asterisk was always in the docs, and honestly, opt-in is the strongest consent there is.
Dr. Anders Feld said Cascade doesn't train on customer data, period, no asterisk; three months later he described the asterisk that was always in the docs.

Finish this sentence: compute is the new oil.
Dr. Anders Feld00:12:00–00:12:23
Compute is the new oil in exactly one way: the people selling shovels talk about it like poetry and price it like rent.
Dana Reyes00:12:25–00:12:33
The datacenter landlords will love that one.
Dana Reyes00:29:33–00:29:48
Every lab says some version of this and every lab means something different.
Anders Feld00:29:50–00:29:58
Ours means the boring literal thing.
Dr. Anders Feld00:30:00–00:30:21 · Selected passage
We do not train on customer data. Period. There is no asterisk, no enterprise carve-out, no quiet default.
Dana Reyes00:30:23–00:30:31
Nothing in the fine print?
Anders Feld00:30:33–00:30:41

A researcher posted Cascade's data-use page next to your February clip.
Anders Feld01:06:45–01:06:58
And both are accurate, which I know sounds like a lawyer wrote it.

Dana Reyes01:07:36–01:07:44
Period, no asterisk. Those were the words.
Anders Feld01:07:46–01:08:00
The words were about defaults. Opt-in isn't an asterisk, it's a signature.
