Gotta hand it to Zuck, he's the OG creep that taught the other creeps how it's done.

Believe it or not, Grok is actually still worse.
Twitter: Grok CLI uploaded the whole home directory to GCS
r/LocalLLaMA: Grok Build CLI uploads your whole repo — full git history + .env secrets — to xAI's cloud, and the opt-out doesn't stop it (wire-captured)

Dang, that is cheap. This will be a great backup model for my openclaw. But of course, all prompt needs pii sanitization before feeding it to meta. Can never trust them.
That’s how mark became so wealthy. He was one of the first to sell his soul and sell his consumers personal information for a vast profit. Many of Silicon Valley do that these days, but mark was ‘first to market’. Facebook and mark are so insufferable these days, they don’t even hide their greed and thirst for user data to sell for money.

Ah, the same Meta whose AI is so popular they've been renting out spare compute space just to make use of their data centres. Same for xAI and Grok.
Either these models are incredibly under utilised or they're nowhere near as compute intensive as they would have us believe. That last one raises a lot more questions as to why they're building out data centres for a capacity that will never be needed.

LMAO not an Epstein’s chance in heaven that I install that.
PSA you cannot have more than 1 times less than something. That’s not how numbers work
The word “times” means multiply
The phrase “less than” means subtract
Imagine if the normal price for meta’s coding agent was $10. 20 times $10 would be $200. 20 times less than $10 would be $10 - $200. Which would be $-190
A negative price would mean that meta was paying you for using their coding agent. Personally I think they probably should, but do they?
A better way to write this would be to say that Meta reduced the cost “by 95%” or “to 5%” - or if you want to use a fraction - “to 1/20th of the cost”
Let’s learn how numbers work. They are useful in understanding the world around us.

lol. At least Grok is perfectly incompetent (unless you’re into Nazi stuff and undressing little girls of course).
