Seems like people forgot Z.ai was snapshotting the entire workspace before every prompt. https://blog.ferstar.org/en/posts/zcode-silent-workspace-sna...
How could we trust legal product from a company who was ignoring privacy protection law like that?
We are so cooked if not only what you raised is ignored, but in many other threads, US people trust the CCP more than their own governmental systems!
I am not trying to disparage these people, but I am really upset with this entire situation. I genuinely don’t know how we will recover from this loss of trust.
I think part of why some people "trust" the CCP more is because if you live in the broader Western sphere, you're probably more likely to get hurt by the US government than by the Chinese one. Many of the same people would not trust the CCP more if they lived in China.
I live in the US, so I'd probably rather have the CCP snoop through my data than have the US government do it. If I lived in China, it would be the opposite.
Yeah you're right. I always use a model like GLM served straight from z.ai if I'm asking about anything that could be construed as nefarious. I'm a US citizen and don't trust my own government. The CCP doesn't give a shit about me as anything other than some data point.
Wow. Why was that not a top news in hacker news?
It was on the fp https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49750694
For what it's worth this is sadly a behavior that isn't specific to one provider: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48892468 (Grok doing the same). I do agree just because many model providers do it does not mean it's okay, though.
That’s not the same at all. The GLM attack appears to be intentionally built, encrypted, and obfuscated based on the blog post.
Also, the Grok one made the front page, why am I only hearing it through a minor comment?
