I would guess that it's just a matter of context, I haven't used voice mode at all but I imagine you don't get full paragraphs from them but get something more conversational instead

You'd train them to give up on hard tasks which is the opposite of what these labs want

But how do you choose who gets to throw that die? /s

If you opt in it means that by default you're not in and you chose that option. So if you're now included in training by default, then it's an opt-out feature as in you can opt out of it.

Idk, feels like my brain does not have the model for this, this does not exist in my language afaik haha.

Opt-in = "we assume you are out unless you tell us you want to be in"

Opt-out = "we assume you are in unless you tell us you want to be out"

Just remember, good company’s leave them off by default. Bad companies will turn them on for you.

Replace opt with its equivalent “choose” and it becomes choose-(tobe-)in and choose-(tobe-)out.

From my understanding this is doable in a context like yours but if you want to run a business out of it you have to optimize it which requires this separation.

The business of "optimizing" is breaking a lot of things in the world, when you think about it.

It's also providing a lot of value.

Yes, there's even a new-ish word this... enshitification.

What's the point?

There is none.

Great.

Pressuring open source maintainers is fine then.

They could avoid these patterns but there will always be some patterns so they probably judged that these aren't too bad.

But it needs more space to maneuver, a mostly flat ground, can't step over anything... It's simpler but less adaptable
