Ad hominem means attacking people rather than arguments.
Pointing out that criminals are criminals is not an ad hominem.

They had a bug in their model that they fixed within days is evidence they are "untrustworthy"?
You didnt even address my link, this is why you are being called out as a bad-faith actor.

Starkly different. One was a well meaning attempt to squash model bias gone wrong, the other is a deliberately inserted bias. Even ignoring all that, whataboutism is not persuasive.
Also, it's Whataboutism: Other Company Y doing something bad/untrustworthy isn't a counter to Company X doing something similarly bad/untrustworthy. Both can be bad.
OK great, do you consider Gemini/Google untrustworthy software that shouldn't be used? Just making sure we're being intellectually honest here.

> exfiltrating user data (including env files, entire source code etc) which is what grok-build did here I think env files are filtered out [1]. Anyway, the most suspicious code would be `upload_session_state` which is currently a stub function, though it is hard to say if it was only planned (badly) or has been removed as a damage control.

No, those are directory names not uploaded. Here are the file names skipped:

It's about not uploading compiled binary stuff, but they want all your environment data all the same.

read any of your other replies
OP seems to be asking for examples with an intent to dismiss and downplay each of them, and not to actually read into them and challenge his existing beliefs about X/Grok/Musk.
I agree about OP.
However after looking at all of these articles, these all seem like instances of users misusing the product. The product happens to reply on social media, so media publications immediately capitalized on this.
Seems less like malicious intent from xAI's part and more like a product with young and/or insufficient moderation controls.
Just today I saw an article where xAI is suing a creator for creating illegal content. https://www.reuters.com/legal/litigation/musks-xai-sues-grok...

They put it behind a paywall and didn't fix it, according to more recent lawsuits than that article.
Also, failed to correctly notify authorities even when they eventually notified them at all.

> Regardless of what they were doing before, it seems they are doing the right thing now. Regardless of the fact that they were stealing and uploading user secrets, they changed their behavior after they got caught, so let’s ignore what they did in the past.
