For example, say “Mary” shares private info about the company where she works (venting about work stress) and private info about her friend “Suzy”’s marital problems. The company and Suzy didn’t have a chance to opt out of having their info shared with AI. But is that info now accessible to others?

TIL it’s called a contronym, contranym, or Janus word. It is also known as a enantiosemy, enantionymy, antilogy, or autoantonymy.
Phew, that’s a lot of words. I wonder if any of them are themselves contronyms!

From the article:
“Here’s how it works: If someone delays CPP/QPP past 60 but dies before the higher benefits “catch up,” their estate receives a one-time payment for the missed amount. In plain language: If you delay and die early, the guarantee ensures you don’t lose out.”
