Grok Bot

I think perhaps I won't trust anything that ever gets released by this company, likely in perpetuity.

		Anecdotally, same; recently I stopped using Cursor after learning that XAI now owns it.

		There are two companies that have lost my trust, probably forever: X and Meta. I don't see myself ever trusting anything coming out of either of these companies ever again

		Only thing I trusted was the “porn generator” on grok imagine because it was beyond good at what it did. They nerfed that so they’re back to nothing.

Are there any opensource app/system that directly competes with a solution like this?

		Im working on one here: https://github.com/smartcomputer-ai/lightspeed The core is there. But there is some work to be done to have a nicer shell and all, which I’m currently focusing on.

From FAQ: How is Grok Bot different from AI assistants? Bots have their own computer, so they can work inside your apps and tools. They also run in parallel, 24/7, even when your laptop is closed.

How does it work with login-walled sites like LinkedIn then? And what does "own computer" mean? X provisions a "private cloud" a'la Apple for your Bot?

		It'll ask you to take over its computer to log in: https://image.non.io/4022ec77-be07-4baa-97e8-ad9d8d9aeb8a.we... After you do you just tell the bot you're done logging in and it'll keep driving. And yea, it's a separate VM for each bot. Source: had access for the last few weeks.

		The very first thing in their demo shows Grok logging in with the user's username and password to a website, presumably so it can perform actions and the human can get the blame for them. Apparently this is marketing and not terrifying to people.

I am unsure if this is the end all be all but it appears preferable to claude code desktop to me.

This seems like a very clever product move from X.ai

I wonder if they're going to try and compete against Slack with X.com chat?

Dang - might be worth merging these two.
