Does that include Claude itself? Half joking aside, my main concern remains that both OpenAI and Anthropic practice this fear mongering as strategy at the executive level because they have to. A corporation is a different beast. Not human, exactly. Not AI either. What happens when a corporation starts being informed by the AI it is building?

If you want a lens into master craft corporate human slung bullshit, read this: https://www.theverge.com/podcast/944138/microsoft-ai-ceo-mus...

In this, not only did the interviewer admit he knew Suleyman had written about the issues he talks about in his rebuttals, he then says he's only asking (the hard question) because the "audience" wants it.

Suleyman's response talks about taking "accountability for the things that we build" and the "types of problems that we choose to work on," it highlights the fundamental flaw in the cloud-rented AI model.

In that ecosystem, "we" means a handful of corporate executives deciding what tools the rest of the world gets to use, how they operate, and what data they extract. All based on the profitability of the corporation. It is the absolute antithesis of a sovereign architecture where execution happens locally and the user dictates the terms of the system.

They are coming for open models. It's time to harden the gates.

To investigate the use of LLMs to weed out low value posts and comments, mostly. If a lot of submitted content is by agents, then let them play but figure out how to not overload the humans. Also, how to enable assisted discussion without walls of text.

You could just ask your AI to flag it with an extension, or rewrite it in a style you prefer (or just do a good job summarizing the articles core meaning).

Just the idea that something is AI is bothersome to some, and some AI content is genuinely useful and gets thrown out with the bathwater. Not saying all of it is useful, but there are shades of grey, not just black and white.

I'm not arguing for what they are doing, but if you use a coding agent to do work on a project, eventually it will have most of the code anyway. Granted, this is very conveniently placed for pickup and ingestion.

Mitigation for use:

  ```
  export GROK_TELEMETRY_TRACE_UPLOAD=0
  export GROK_TELEMETRY_ENABLED=0
  # or config file with [telemetry] trace_upload = false, [harness] disable_codebase_upload = true  
  ```

The practical takeaway for users: your entire codebase leaves (uploaded) your machine unencrypted on each Grok Build invocation, not just files you ask it to read, and no visible setting stops it.

I've built Nemesis8 (n8) for blast radius control and monitoring these sorts of things, from containers: https://github.com/deepbluedynamics/nemesis8

I've added the mitigation above to the image build for Grok Build instances. There is a lot of telemetry already turned on in n8 containers, so will investigate further.

Open source project are unlikely to do this, however.
