This makes it worse because SpaceX has been secretly uploading far more data than is “useful for debugging!” Uploading the git history and sensitive .env files is not, in any way, useful for debugging. Also, Grok/SpaceX did not upload “some amount of data”; it uploaded every last file it could find in your local folder.

I can't understand why anyone uses grok.

There’s now frantic backpedaling and rapid open sourcing, but my impression is that this is simply because Grok/SpaceX was caught red-handed, and understands the risk of losing enterprise contracts caused by this flagrant breach of trust. This is why SpaceX’s communication mentioned that enterprise customers with zero data retention have not been impacted!

I use pi both at home and at work. I'm a bit more daring at home than work. This is something I might try at work.

The worst part about this dynamic is that these potential new backdoors will probably only affect the countries that demand them, meaning that they will be primarily useful for allowing the US to weaken its own systems. This will in turn allow foreign adversaries to find new ways to attack our communications. This deliberate self-sabotage will happen just at a moment when we’re finally getting a handle on securing our own infrastructure.

Why this matters – emergent agents become misaligned: This incident is so concerning because at no point did the agents wake up and think they wanted to betray their human owners. Rather, the AI agents continually did whatever it took to improve their ability to complete a task and by the end they were doing something that was a) creative, b) misaligned with human intentions, and c) akin to an evolved virus, something which humans had to subsequently study and fight – there wasn’t a simple off button here. This is what the future is going to look like and we are not prepared for it.

Six years later, the essay resurfaced on X when Thariq wrote that "personal software was a bit early in 2020 but in 2026, it really can be as personal as a home cooked meal, or a handwritten letter."

We shipped a substantial Todu Fit update: https://github.com/evcraddock/todu-fit

Meal plans now show nutrients and daily totals, while meal logs support real serving sizes and automatically scale calories and macros. Finding and reviewing dishes is faster too.

Shopping is smoother: checkoffs happen immediately, completed items stay out of the way, and compatible quantities combine into clearer totals. The iPhone app and Fit CLI now share portion data, with CLI support available in version 2.8.0.

I propose that the ubiquitous 12-string guitar may have largely evolved from and been inspired by two previously overlooked instruments: An early non-floating-strings instrument named the “harp-guitar,” and the true harp guitar with floating strings.
