Feels oh so telling that xAI has to pay Telegram and not the other way around. If these offerings were so great wouldn't we all be clamoring for it?
How is it different than Google paying Firefox?

I wouldn’t trust X or Elon Musk, and $300M is the kind of money that you can ask for a lot of things from the recipient.
It’s not X or Elon musk that you have to trust with regards to the privacy of your telegram conversations.
Yes it's some rich Russian dude trading with Elmo.

It’s training data. That’s all that Felon wants.

#55As I said before here recently; I am replacing all my tooling by stuff I built and that includes chat. I own my company so my colleagues can leave or use it too (they help me build so yes, they will use) and family will come on board if they have a side access to people who won't, which we do: we integrate other chats and for those we losen the rules. I have no interest, when I die in 40 years, to depend on even one line of software not inspected by me.

The fun fact is that the supposedly uncensored Grok ("unhinged") is actually very much censored. The only thing it can do is to say bad words and be anti-Woke, but it actually refuses to be really subversive or give its opinion on many topics.

Flawed logic.
Google pays Mozilla for a spot in Firefox.

No matter how good your offering is, you always need marketing if you are competing against an established behemoth in the space like OpenAI. Even Google has been unable to make much of a dent in OpenAI's daily active users despite having superior distribution and (recently) comparable quality. Grok 3 is legitimately one of the best general purpose models out there. People don't know about it because ChatGPT is "good…
Don't bet against Google. Their cloud is growing despite coming from 4th or 5th place, now it's on 3rd place and growing faster than AWS and if I recall correctly, faster than even Azure.
And Google basically invented LLM tech.

Seeing that telegram is clear text by default, you should consider alternatives that offer end to end encryption by default.
End-to-end encryption isn't going to help if the chatbot/data harvester is embedded in the app itself.
Or if the endpoints are mostly pwned by NSA at all times (Android, Windows).
