Comment on: Grok CLI uploaded the whole home directory to GCS

The question "do you trust this directory?" is a world away from "do you consent to upload this directory and all of its contents to a third party?".My assumption when asked "do you trust this directory?" is that I am being asked if I am certain I understand what is in the directory and that it won't include some sort of prompt injecting attack. I would never dream that I was consenting to the complete exfiltration of that directory.
