Honestly, I've been a Cursor subscriber for a while and it was just momentum. Still, I rank OpenAI as the worst actor among the big AI companies. I think OpenAI's playbook will be a repeat of Facebook. Users are the product x 1000.

Cursor/SpaceX/Grok is a different beast. I think they will cheat other companies but I'm not convinced yet that they have it out for users. We'll see. I'm certainly not some kind of Cursor lifer or something.

We should all move to OpenCode anyway. :)

It's my personal view that Elon has already shown how little he cares for protecting data of individuals based on how he ran DOGE.

If his teams will handle the data of US citizens with such disregard, he'll almost certainly treat his customers (many of whom are those same US citizens) the same.

		Sure, that's a thing. But it's much different than building a multiyear strategy to use that data as the financial basis of one's entire operation.

I used to think OpenAI was the only bad actor until I realized they were the only honestly corporate actor.

The other AI companies obfuscate their goals much better.

I'm not keen on OpenCode long term after seeing their CEO engage in antics and their discord being rather unprofessional, but it is a great harness for the time being, still has gaps though
