"Telegram announced an exclusive distribution agreement with xAI that will embed Grok, Musk’s LLM chatbot, into the platform for one year. The terms: xAI will pay $300 million in cash, as well as equity and 50% of all Grok-related subscription revenue generated through Telegram."
Lol, selling your users while claiming privacy is a chef's kiss of a rug pull.

Been using it before announcement. It is just a bot you can chat with. I don’t think all of your telegram data is being sent to Elon. But who knows lol


Centralized AI spyware from Elon!
What could go wrong?
I would consider this more of a BlackRock backdoor than anything else, since Telegram just got a major capital infusion from them. Larry Fink is highly invested in the Ukraine-Russia war and probably wants to use Grok to influence the outcome. extremely sus.

telegram has never been about privacy, it's just marketing
It's useless bloat anyway, no one asked for it
This is 💩

Epoch five, the epoch ALL heroes died.
Is it for real? I have to leave Telegram seriously...
Can you share the news link?
I didn't have a good feeling about this guy drove.
Can someone fork all telegram clients and turn them into NIP-17 Nostr clients? Please.

@grok is this for real?
Yes, I dont have the link on hand but I highly recommend you stop using them
fun fact
they have an API that allows anyone to make a bot like this
and even @grok is this true but with their own LLM
Pavel paid for his talk at OFF. His talk sounded like advertising. Now I know it actually was.
The epoch where all heros are local, decentralization is realized.
"Durov said xAI will only access data that Telegram users explicitly share with Grok through direct interactions."

Lol.
Yes, it's also on his Twitter account
🤦♂️
Yes, they will probably change some terms and conditions it will apply to all user chats not interacting with xAi.
I have never trusted Telegram and never used it. Signal only.
Only used it for a few groups, but recent events make me not want to touch it. Grok data harvesting bot is the last straw. Just not exactly sure how it's going to be implemented, but I'm guessing it's just going to harvest as much as it can.
