Posting a complaint about Elon on Elon's platform and tagging him is ballsy. He tends to limit visibility of accounts who do that.

master-lincoln•15m ago
ballsy only if you care about participating in that shithole of a platform.

why do people give these LLMs full access to everything and then complain when it does somethign stupid? that is what sandboxes are for.
dumberquestions•24m ago
Other ones aren't this invasive with user data.
pixel_popping•21m ago
not true, Claude code on its own often create artifacts and straight up upload private stuff to Anthropic, without asking for it.
John23832•20m ago
Then show us the example of Claude uploading a home directory to Anthropic because we have an example of Grok uploading a home directory to X.

Are we sure about that?

When I give my text editor or file browser access to everything I wouldn't expect it to exfiltrate data without asking.
docdeek•17m ago
Isn’t a file browser running locally, while Grok is running on someone else’s server?
dewey•11m ago
The point is more that you should not blame the user (why didn't you set up sandbox instead of directly using the tool of big corp) if a tool does something unexpected. If your Dropbox client would suddenly just upload your home directory instead of it's folder you configured you'd also not blame the user that they use Dropbox, you'd blame Dropbox for not doing their job correctly or being user hostile.

Agreed. You can still encourage people to use defense in depth without actively blaming them for not having the deepest moat imaginable. Software creators still have some responsibility

Is it 'unexpected' when we've been hearing stories like this every week for 2 years now?
dewey•3m ago
Not every Anthropic user follows HN or random X posts about these issues.
swingboy•20m ago
Well, it looks like he was running the agent in his home directory to begin with considering the `repo_path` field is exactly that.
PeterStuer•18m ago
My first thought would be their server side extentions, code excecutoon sandboxes and document RAG search, being on by default? Probably should be an opt-in instead of an opt-out.

Alex Karp was right, AI Compagnies are stealing people code while making them pay for unproductive tokens
