A new piece by The Information's Grace Ihle details data blunders at SpaceX and Cursor (Anysphere).
The most notable concern: due to Cursor engineers' usage of Grok Bot, the company reportedly worried it had accidentally used customer or supplier data as model training data — a potential privacy and compliance risk.
The report highlights a broader governance gap at fast-scaling AI coding startups, where fast-moving toolchains can quietly cross data-usage boundaries.
