Dialogue scene from Homer's Odyssey built on Grok Imagine. Thread on how this was built below.

A reminder: Across much of the AI industry, user data is retained by default unless you manually change the privacy settings and even then, opt-outs often apply only to future data, may be limited by exceptions buried in the legal fine print, and can be difficult to verify in practice In other words, “opting out” does not always mean your data is fully deleted or excluded...the company’s own way of saying opt-out may not actually match what users reasonably expect in the end However SpaceXAI just showed what going beyond the industry standard actually looks like Running "/privacy" in Grok Build to disable retention also deletes all previously synced data...not just data created after changing the setting and prevents future code and session data from being retained Elon also confirmed that, as a precautionary measure, all user data uploaded to SpaceXAI before now will be completely deleted, with nothing remaining Yet some people are having a selective outrage meltdown, acting as though AI companies retaining uploaded data is some completely new revelation Data retention has long been common across major AI products, while manual privacy opt-outs are often buried, limited by exceptions, or focused primarily on future activity Meanwhile, SpaceXAI is setting a new privacy standard that goes far beyond what the rest of the AI industry currently provides by default
