It needs to be baked into the OS.
At that point, HN users start screeching about it, so it's lose/lose, really.
I don’t like piling on especially with security vulnerabilities, but man how many red flags do you need to ignore?
They won’t stop abusing us until we stop using their products.
I don't use AI at all in my daily life.
Work however will demand you use it.
AI is not here to help people.
True, but it isn't here to not help people, either.
It's a spanner. Who wields the spanner, makes all the difference.
We've spent the last couple of decades, cultivating a huge crop of ultimate scumbag billionaires, with almost comically exaggerated sociopathy, and that has filtered down to almost every level of society. They are treated as gods, these days (they certainly think of themselves that way).
It still shocks me (but really shouldn't), on a daily basis, to encounter regular folks, interacting in stores and restaurants, or driving on roads, that mirror the values systems exemplified by our billionaires. Our politicians act that way, and one of their biggest selling points, is normalizing sociopathy (not just the US, either).
I didn't really need a second clue.
...it was quite the sting because I bought a Tesla car only 2 weeks prior to that.
Anyway, ghouls like Thiel are now a well known name among populist left and right as an enemy, so maybe some good may come from this.
Not necessarily speaking of the present. This seems to be the general sentiment.
(an aside but the majority of the US population didn't elect Trump. He is in office because of the electoral college. Might seem like a distinction without a difference but I think it matters when we're implying personal culpability)
P.S. the conflicting information was Keith Richard's age. One search said he was 37 Dec 18 1981, the other said he was 37 in 1980.
I don't think it is reasonable to expect every user (including those just starting out with the tools - maybe experimenting, maybe younger/less experienced in general) to think that the tool they're running for the very first time is going to automatically exfiltrate all of their data.
It's a pretty serious fuck-up. This guy tweeted about it, who knows how many didn't even notice. It should have been opt-in, it should give user an indication that it's about to do this, etc.
My two guesses would be one the LLM decided it needed these files for the task or two the user simple asked grok to do it so they could post the tool calls on twitter.
Whose fault is it if someone drives a car without learning how to and injures themselves? On the other hand if the manufacturer has promoted it as one you can drive without learning how to, then whose fault is it?
A lot of users are fine with everything being uploaded. Most people's primary computing device is now a phone that backs up everything to cloud and using apps that are thin front ends over cloud services.
It’s kind of wild to watch in real time, instead of over the decades it took society for SA.
Do Anthropic users consider themselves clever enough to not make the same mistakes as Microsoft?
Posting a complaint about Elon on Elon's platform and tagging him is ballsy. He tends to limit visibility of accounts who do that.
Not sure which weirdness happened here
If someone wants to contribute the Grok CLI I'm happy to support it.
This is why it is important to use open source harnesses instead of shady closed ones.
No?
Well the model weights, the GPUs, and the context obviously all have to be in the same place, so “sending your project to them” is literally the only thing that could possibly happen, unless you think agents work by fucking magic.
This is the biggest case of PEBKAC in history, maybe ever.
This is the kind of confusion that Charles Babbage could not rightly comprehend, except at those politicians at least had the excuse that computers had only been invented five minutes prior.
Only a buffoon would be confused by the straightforward logic.

Elon did this horrible thing, so I made grok build available for omp with it's own endpoint; Without sending your private repos and secret keys to them.
