Hello, friends. Glad to be here with other sensible people who know how to think, talk, and wade through the messy middle.

I am based in Indianapolis but serve clients everywhere. I am a marketing and business development advisor. These days, that means I spend a lot of time...

Fight, @jimmykimmel.com, please fight. We don't want to live in Russia.

Come on, #ABC and #Disney - do you really want to see what this demonstration of cancel culture looks like? Put Jimmy Kimmel Live back on where they belong ASAP.

🟪🟩 Salesforce Cuts 4,000 Support Jobs Using AI Agents

"In a Fortune interview just two months earlier, he emphasized that AI would augment rather than replace workers, stating "the humans are not going away" and dismissing "scary narratives" about AI layoffs."

🟪🟩 Hacker at Starbucks Helped Secure $243M Tesla Verdict

"Remarkably, shortly after Tesla learned the plaintiffs had obtained the data through the hacker's work, the company claimed it could now locate the same information on its own servers."

7) BOTTOM LINE
You are responsible for saying yes or no to training use on (consumer) Claude. Client confidentiality is non-negotiable, so keep sensitive work in approved enterprise environments.

Nancy Myrland @nancymyrland.bsky.social · Aug 31

6) TO DO TODAY
◽️ Check your Claude Privacy setting and make your choice.

◽️ Remind your team to do the same.

◽️ Update your firm’s AI guidance to specify which tools and tiers are approved for client matters.

Nancy Myrland @nancymyrland.bsky.social · Aug 31

5) Old chats are excluded unless you reopen them. Deleted chats are not used.

For confidential work, keep matters in enterprise channels only, such as Claude for Work or API on Bedrock/Vertex, which are outside this policy.

Nancy Myrland @nancymyrland.bsky.social · Aug 31

4) HOW TO OPT OUT
1. Open Claude

2. Profile → Settings → Privacy

3. Toggle “Help improve Claude” off

4. Accept the updated terms

Being a paid user does not exempt you. Consumer tiers still require a decision.

Nancy Myrland @nancymyrland.bsky.social · Aug 31

3) This applies to Free, Pro, Max, and Claude Code consumer tiers. Business, Gov, Education, and API use are not affected.

Nancy Myrland @nancymyrland.bsky.social · Aug 31

2) I love Claude, but I don't love that this privacy setting is turned on by default.

Unless you opt out, your future chats and code can be used to train Claude, which means Claude's database that it uses to provide AI output to anyone.

Nancy Myrland @nancymyrland.bsky.social · Aug 31

1) [AI PRIVACY - TURN THIS SETTING OFF]
This is a Claude privacy update you should not ignore.

Anthropic just changed how Claude handles your chat data.

Deadline: September 28, 2025

[Compact, Brain-Inspired AI Model Outperforming LLMs]

"The model operates through iterative refinement over short 'thinking' bursts.. determining whether to continue processing or submit final answer..near-perfect performance on path-finding in mazes, tasks conventional LLMs failed completely."

*Billion, sorry

Nancy Myrland @nancymyrland.bsky.social · Aug 29

P.S. Yes, I know there are multiple steps in and around these 2 suggestions, but this will get you started.

Nancy Myrland @nancymyrland.bsky.social · Aug 29

THE RESULT
When you get the notifications of activity from the people you have decided are the most important to you, what happens?

You get to go directly to that activity and interact with it.

That is making the most efficient and effective use of your time on LinkedIn. (Cont'd)...

Nancy Myrland @nancymyrland.bsky.social · Aug 29

That way, LinkedIn will get the hint that you want to see what they post, when they post it. You should see this activity in your notifications. It doesn't always work, but it's pretty good). (Cont'd)...

Nancy Myrland @nancymyrland.bsky.social · Aug 29

Are you following these people? If not, do. I didn't say invite them to connect. Sometimes, we need to take small steps. Sometimes we don't.

2️⃣ Next, turn on the notification bell for those who are the most important to you. (Cont'd)...

Nancy Myrland @nancymyrland.bsky.social · Aug 29

DO THESE TWO THINGS
1️⃣ What are the names you've placed on your Strategic Client Connection List? If we haven't worked together (yet) and you don't have this worksheet, then just write the names down.
(Cont'd)...

Nancy Myrland @nancymyrland.bsky.social · Aug 29

[DON'T WASTE YOUR TIME ON LINKEDIN]
You are busy and don't have hours (not even an hour) to spend on LinkedIn every day. That is why I want you to spend your time in the wisest way possible. (Cont'd)...
