Grok Build has been useless for me personally. Claude is the only one that works best.
replyI find Deepseek to be a great compromise between cost and performance. Anthropic and OpenAI are simply too expensive at this point.
But you also have handed over your secrets, dotfiles and API keys alongside with your source code to xAI.
replyI'm afraid you have been scammed.
A bit hyperbolic, no? A majority of code is now written through Claude and similar services.
replyHow is it hyperbolic when it's literally the subject of the post? Did you not read the OP?
replyThe "scam" part is the hyperbolic part
replyIf I buy one thing and get a worse alternative, I usually call that a scam. $30k for a car, and it feels the need to summarize my location patterns and sell that to adtech agencies without bothering to even notify me? That's a scam. $X for a code generation tool, and it feels the need to ship all my passwords and other sensitive information to a known user-hostile entity? Also a scam. The fact that I can ~clip the antenna~ sandbox the malicious code doesn't make it not a scam; it might be a practical stopgap, but the offenders still basically got away with it.
