Background & analysis
On November 3, 2026, a Hacker News user posted that their company is quite careful about leaking IP to frontier labs through prompts, so everyone on the team had diligently disabled data sharing in tools like Codex and Claude Code. Recently, however, the poster and their colleagues noticed that the setting had been silently reenabled in Codex, and none of them had knowingly opted back in.
To let others verify their own accounts, the user pointed to the "Improve the model for everyone" option in ChatGPT settings, with the data controls page at https://chatgpt.com/settings/data-controls. They ended the post by asking whether this was an isolated issue or something more widespread.
An edit to the post signals that further information was emerging, but the material does not say what was confirmed. So far there has been no report of a response from OpenAI, and the matter remains at the stage of user reports awaiting verification.

How is heat calculated?About the methodHide
Heat counts how many independent sources covered a story in the last 48 hours: one source counts once no matter how many posts it published, decaying with a 24-hour half-life. What ranks first is what many people are talking about.
