Oh no, what if my flesh wife and wireborn wife find out about one another! 😱

This comment made me physically ill

I'm impressed with the subtlety of South Park's latest episode. Your flesh wife will learn to pander to your feelings, manipulating you, more while weaning you from, and backstabbing, your wireborn wife.

Ah, yes. Ask Grok to come up with a secure password that only you and everyone else know.

I do wonder how many people have copied config files to diagnose issues into Grok/other AIs not remembering they had IP addresses, certificate security information, or maybe even server credentials

[–] felsiq@piefed.zip 9 points 3 days ago

I watched someone vibe code a curl request with grok and it spat out an api key in the configuration completely unprompted. It wasn’t an active one unfortunately (that would’ve been so funny) but I could totally see this happening

"Please enter your password and the name of a random stranger for password authentication."

Unique links are created when Grok users press a button to share a transcript of their conversation - but as well as sharing the chat with the intended recipient, the button also appears to have made the chats searchable online.

This is t he r second article about chatbots “leaking” ended users share their chats with search indexing enabled.

That isn’t leaking. That’s just shitty journalism.

I hate grok.

[–] KairuByte@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 2 days ago

If the user clicked a “generate me a share link” button, and the button also, without letting the user know prior to the button press, enables search indexing, that is indeed a leak.

Oh god... Here we go again...

What gets me laughing is when people use any technology and expect some level of privacy, especially "free" services.

Like, 'Oh noes! This new thing I shared all my deepest secrets with is now posting them online without my consent!'

Milady, you consented by clicking okay. There's no takesy-backsies.

Nowadays, being free or paid doesn’t change anything about it actually.

[–] 60d@lemmy.ca 4 points 3 days ago

For the most part, you're right. But imagine the gall of some people thinking there might be some privacy in free services. I can understand the expectation of privacy on paid services.

👀 where is the database with all those leaked chatbot conversations?!

Guess, it is pretty valuable

[–] Zen_Shinobi@lemmy.world 8 points 3 days ago
