    Does this SpaceXAI product silently upload all of your code to a google cloud bucket when you hit enter as well? [0]

    Are you all comfortable with the idea of agents running non stop with access to all your accounts? I would be so anxious all the time, thinking they would leak or delete my personal data, or get hijacked via prompt injection or a security vulnerability. I just cannot imagine using such a software without overview

    everyone is shipping their in house solutions and they all seem...kinda the same.

      My feeling too. The foundation models and harnesses are commoditizing eventually because there's no stickiness nor algorithmic supersecrets.

      That's what everybody seems excited about; being able to write what they want. They just say 'Make a clone of Foo' and hey presto! The next step is to share your fabulous creation with the world. Lo, and behold, it looks just like Foo!

    Pricing: 120/200 USD per month, per employee.

    This is an interesting idea although I'm not sure how many companies are comfortable with giving SpaceXAI access to all your files and data. Outside of America this is, most likely, not going to fly.

    GitHub login on iOS is just broken.

    GitHub gives 404 after logging in so I can’t event try it.

      Interesting that the pricing is "Cursor Ultra" and "Cursor Premium Teams." This very much feels like the Code --> Cowork product iteration.

    so like OpenClaw ???

      Like a hosted OpenClaw with, I assume, more guardrails.

      It is because Grok Bot is from SpaceX, i.e. Elon Musk.

      This is an OpenClaw competitor relevant to tech. But because it has an association with Elon Musk, the audience on HN quickly flags it.

      In fact, baseless claims of SpaceX being a scam [0] is far more interesting than this press release it seems.

    Somehow the American AI industry managed to create a product I trust less than existing commercial offerings. Kudos, that is actually pretty impressive. Considering the stakes, one might also call it foolish. But I'm sure they've done their market research, they've identified their product niche and they're racing to meet it at the bottom.

    Interesting. Unfortunately Musk's personal brand is so poisonous that I would never let him anywhere near my data. I'm curious if big businesses will have similar concerns and avoid tools from SpaceXAI regardless of how they are? I guess lots are already using it by default since the Cursor acquisition.

      https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48892468 plus the whole cursor brand should be tainted alongside it after this malarkey
    • taoh 35 minutes ago
      Curious why is Musk's personal brand poisonous? Is it related to his personal character or business behaviors?

        He is now an enemy of the Left. So those are ideological statements.

      Cursor by inertia, but the X ownership is a big X against it...

    Sorry, but anything from xAI is a complete non-starter until Grok gets its sexual deepfake and CSAM problem under control.
