This is not the right thing, this is the tactical thing. If you have an LLM with less than 1% of the share to begin with, you suffer from bad rep and you got caught uploading user data, one of the very few remaining tactical moves to try to climb out of it is this.

Another tactical move is to just stop. You're allowed to exit the AI business. Nobody's forcing you to keep throwing money into the furnace. Just be a rocket company. All of the xAI founders left. Your product's brand name is mud. Just stop doing that and build spaceships.

It is?

Yes, to the average person grok is known for generating csam, mechahitler, and undressing people for sexual harassment.

And to tech people it’s now known for stealing your files.

I’m a big fan of Musk. One of the few criticisms I have is how xAI is also inconsistent with original OpenAI mission. I had imagined xAI as en effort to correct and fully embody all original values of OpenAI and that Elon says they betrayed. That makes his criticism weaker and I understand why some can think it was all about control. In his words: "I'm the reason OpenAl exists. I came up with the name. The name OpenA…

Agreed - if you read any Elon books that’s a part of it. He always had someone to prove himself to from his dad to the world. It’s almost Michael Jordanesque except business wise.

So just like Trump. Birds of a feather.

You’ve got to be kidding me. Last I checked, Anthropic, OpenAI, and Google haven’t systematically exterminated an entire culture of people.

You're really walking empty handed and with your pants around our ankles in this one. Do you really think the US and US big tech in general have a leg to stand on in this regard?

Americans can't even handle flock cameras. I would like to see their response to the level of control and spying in Chinese society.

curl -fsSL https://x.ai/cli/install.sh | bash this is unauditable trust in XAI.

It's auditable, just redirect, don't pipe. Or fix your bash to not allow this. It has nothing to do with XAI, other than maybe not enforcing good practice (which most devs don't follow anyway).

Or they are sending different code to different people from the same url…
