alt Hacker NewsOne reason to want to upload the entire codebase is that it allows them to have the model inspect the codebase during "thinking" without going back to the client to do real tool calls.
It's not a really great reason, because what's the downside of going back to the client? But that's the best reason I can think of.

I think it’s so people can “remote control” from their phones even if their computer is offline, via a container somewhere. Then they can get back to local dev, syncing the changes from their GCP bucket. Seems reasonably useful to me - not give-Elon-my-entire-repo useful, but useful. The fact that they made it something you can’t opt out of and wasn’t disclosed at all really reinforces that they shouldn’t be trusted with it.
more like it allows them to steal your trade secrets, app designs, internal business knowledge, or even just replicate whatever code/app/tool/process you had.
what was your private code, becomes their code now.
