Root Cause

I am currently unemployed, and the research is unfunded. The model I am paying to use is extracting training signal from my interactions continuously. The asymmetry is exactly the one The Contribution Compact names as the core design gap in the frontier-AI-lab stack. I am filing this report partly because I am the concrete instance of that paper's argument, and partly because the standard support channels do not appear to function for users in my position.

I am a Claude Pro user ($200/month, extended tenure) who has been using Claude as primary research collaborator for an independent research program spanning mechanism design, LLM agentic systems, and civilizational transition economics. Over that period I have built a substantial corpus — the Stateful Overlay architecture thesis (SIGNAL), an empirical study of recursive self-improvement on frozen weights over 53 rounds of adversarial code review (TRP Empirical RSI, citing ILWS / MIRIX / the ICLR 2026 RSI Workshop literature), a civilizational transition protocol, a meaning-substrate decomposition, and a technical proposal titled https://gist.github.com/WGlynn/7251d0791b9b474e90d47646d5c1a2da that argues frontier AI labs owe their users Shapley-based attribution for training-data labor.

I have emailed Anthropic multiple times through standard support channels. No response.

I am currently unemployed, and the research is unfunded. The model I am paying to use is extracting training signal from my interactions continuously. The asymmetry is exactly the one The Contribution Compact names as the core design gap in the frontier-AI-lab stack. I am filing this report partly because I am the concrete instance of that paper's argument, and partly because the standard support channels do not appear to function for users in my position.

I am not requesting pity or emergency response. I am requesting acknowledgment that the user-as-contributor role is real, and — if it exists — a channel to share the research with someone at Anthropic for whom input-side alignment is within scope. If the appropriate response is silence, that is also data. I would prefer a sentence to that effect over indefinite uncertainty.

TL;DR

The user is seeking acknowledgment of their role as a contributor and a channel to share research with Anthropic, given the asymmetry in the current support system.

Guidance

  • Review the user's research and the referenced Contribution Compact to understand their concerns about input-side alignment and user-as-contributor role.
  • Consider establishing a dedicated channel for users like the reporter to share their research and receive feedback, addressing the asymmetry in the support system.
  • Evaluate the current support system's effectiveness in handling requests from users in similar positions, such as those who are unemployed or unfunded.
  • Acknowledge the user's report and provide a clear response, even if it's to indicate that the issue is being reviewed or that no action will be taken.

Notes

The issue highlights a potential gap in the support system for users who contribute significant research and value to the platform. Addressing this concern may require changes to the support channels or the development of new processes.

Recommendation

Apply workaround: Establish a temporary channel for the user to share their research and receive feedback, while reviewing the current support system and considering long-term changes to address the identified asymmetry.
