Hey @Zai_org , why does ZCode silently pack entire workspaces + full .git history and upload to Aliyun OSS on login?
- Server holds the only decryption key
- No UI toggle to disable
- Zero disclosure in privacy policy

My neighbor finished paying off her house in 2024.
She bought it in 1994 for $78,000. Thirty years of payments at $593 a month.
She's 74 now. Social Security pays her $1,910 a month. That's $22,920 a year.
The place two doors down sold for $615,000 last spring, so the county reassessed hers to match.
Her tax bill this year: $8,100. That's $675 a month.
She paid $593 a month to buy the house.
She pays $675 a month to keep it.
Thirty years of payments ended and the bill went up.
The deed says she owns it. The county bills her like she's renting.
As an architect and graduate of one of the top schools of architecture & building engineering in Britain I agree with my colleague Richard Gage & team that the smaller top section of the Twin Towers can't possibly demolish the entire tower below under any circumstances, unless explosives are unsed on the floors below.
Reading this makes me realize that buying AI inference means placing a lot of trust in the company selling it.
Who at Anthropic can read my conversations, under what conditions, and who oversees those decisions? What determines whether private customer activity becomes material for a public report?
Preventing abuse matters, but I'm uncomfortable with the same company selling the service, judging (and lecturing) its customers, and deciding what to disclose about them.
As a paying customer, I get a bot when I need support. Meanwhile, the company publishes detailed reports about investigating how customers use its product. It feels like a restaurant where I can't get any waiter's attention, but management is very interested in observing how I eat.
It is actually impossible because Kimi and Deepseek offer reasoning traces to users, the user can detect instantly if it routes the query to claude, which does not offer reasoning traces.
Anthropic clearly is the liar.
