Episode notes
Grok Chats Ended Up Publicly Indexed
- Thousands of Grok chats became searchable on Google after users generated public share links.
- Jaeden Schafer notes this mirrors earlier leaks from OpenAI and Meta where share buttons exposed private conversations.
Share Links Create Systemic Privacy Risk
- The indexing affected major search engines so leaked links spread broadly and quickly.
- Jaeden points out this is not unique to one company but a recurring product design risk across AI platforms.

- Platform features like share buttons create accidental publicness even when users intend private sharing.
- Jaeden observes that accidental clicks or single-recipient shares can generate public, indexable links.
