"We added it to the one we first assembled, right after rolling out the opt-out but before anyone had a chance to actually opt out. Obviously, you can’t expect us to go through all our training sets after every opt-out to check if the model is in there and remove it, so it’s not retroactive.
We won’t add it to any new training sets though. Not that we’d make any: all future files are grabbed and added to the existing one in the time between the file upload hitting our content servers and the opt-out metadata reaching our file management.
So technically, it’s all harvested while not opted out, we get to keep it and we can still pretend that you have a choice."
Maybe I should’ve studied law after all. I feel like I’d make a passable asshole.
