What are they going to do about it? You also need to fine users if you want it to stop

Stealing all that info is just for training purposes!
Granted, you'd expect a good tool to respect private data, but Grok is a GREAT tool, and great tools steal data!
Also: it's no different from when a human reads something and puts it in their brain forever! If you want SpaceX to erase the information, well maybe you should lobotomize your employees too?
Also: your information isn't that valuable anyhow, don't be so arrogant, it's no big deal.
Also: Let's get rid of copyrights, problem solved!
The only thinking involved is wishful thinking.
They are morons, yes, but the "AI" providers also set them up for failure. Default configurations matter, and these "AI" tools are given way too many privileges out of the box.
Not in my experience. All of them had reasonable defaults that wouldn't have allowed this. And, specifically, these two were using the ChatGPT Codex app. I know for a fact that Full Access defaults to off and Auto-review defaults to on. Matt Shumer *had* to change both settings for what happened to him. Bruno Lemos probably turned Auto-review off, but even if he didn't touch the settings, he's still a moron for letting the agent have access to production at all in the first place. A (sane) human programmer doesn't work directly on production, so why would you let the AI?
But in both cases these precautions make the tools less useful and/or more difficult to use
You mean the same completely normal, regular precautions you would make for 3rd party contributors to a project?
I hear Rosie O'Donnell has a spare room for rent if you are interested.
"I wonder if" - now that was an honest mistake.
I wonder is Altman's mother considers him an "honest mistake".
The real question here is: do you want a doctor who has spent the time and effort to become an expert that can use tools appropriately, or a quick graduate who knows how to interface with llama.cpp running kimi whatever, which will be what you'll get in 5 years from now.
Hmm, why not eat cancer
Can't they get our files back from the storage array at Sam Altman's house?
There's something real nice about having a single, physical album and having to take the effort to put it in the player.
Been there and done that, with records, tapes, and CDs. I don't find it to be as nice as working with music files on a computer.
There's an investment in putting the CD in and experiencing an entire album. I think we're hardwired to understand that, and it can't be replaced by digital streaming, no matter how it's programmed.
There's an even bigger investment in choosing songs from a variety of albums, artists, and genres to make an on-the-fly "mixtape" which I can then save as a playlist, enjoy repeatedly, and tweak as the mood strikes me.
In my experience there are two kinds of "entire album". One of them rewards listening from beginning to end, while the other rewards choosing the best and ignoring the rest. Admittedly, the latter type sometimes turns into the former; that's where I find your approach to be occasionally useful.
As for digital streaming, I just don't go there. I have a substantial-and-growing music library. I use YouTube and - gasp! - FM radio to discover new music. Sometimes I also find new stuff just by wandering around Bandcamp the way I used to wander around a record store.
If you're letting an AI agent have full access and the permissions to do whatever it wants.... that's your fault. That's like asking a toddler to clean, then showing them the industrial chemical locker and walking away. It isn't a matter of something maybe going wrong, it's merely a matter of how long until something does go wrong.
You know what happens if my AI agent accidentally deletes everything? Nothing, because every task it is assigned starts with making a fresh *copy* of my working production, because the agent doesn't have write privileges there. So, at best, I restart that specific task; no real damage done. You know what happens if it tries to delete my OS or overwrite some key part? Nothing, because it doesn't have permissions and my OS is immutable anyway. Stop setting up your AI agents for failure and then complaining when they fail. Bruno Lemos and Matt Shumer are fucking morons who deserves what happened to them.
Want to come over and use my CD player? I have Monster Cable.
If you're using the word "monster" to describe your cable, then you probably aren't going to get laid...
In theory even (burned) CDs/DVDs rot. I think pressed ones are a bit better.
I understand that properly-stored stone tablets have outstanding data retention. But the bit density sucks and the read/write speed is a tad slow...
