why do people give these LLMs full access to everything and then complain when it does somethign stupid? that is what sandboxes are for.
I don't think it is reasonable to expect every user (including those just starting out with the tools - maybe experimenting, maybe younger/less experienced in general) to think that the tool they're running for the very first time is going to automatically exfiltrate all of their data.
It's a pretty serious fuck-up. This guy tweeted about it, who knows how many didn't even notice. It should have been opt-in, it should give user an indication that it's about to do this, etc.
My two guesses would be one the LLM decided it needed these files for the task or two the user simple asked grok to do it so they could post the tool calls on twitter.
Whose fault is it if someone drives a car without learning how to and injures themselves? On the other hand if the manufacturer has promoted it as one you can drive without learning how to, then whose fault is it?
A lot of users are fine with everything being uploaded. Most people's primary computing device is now a phone that backs up everything to cloud and using apps that are thin front ends over cloud services.
It's the manufacturer's fault. Because that's not a reasonable thing for a car to do.
It’s kind of wild to watch in real time, instead of over the decades it took society for SA.
Do Anthropic users consider themselves clever enough to not make the same mistakes as Microsoft?
