TabulAI founder Bojan Tunguz's poll finds xAI is the most trusted lab to act in user interests
Story Overview
Bojan Tunguz, the TabulAI founder and ex-NVIDIA engineer with a sizable X following, posted an informal poll asking which AI lab people trust most to put users first. xAI topped the results over OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, and Meta, though the modest engagement and visible skepticism in replies leave the outcome open to interpretation.

Open Question
What replies show about the results
Several users voiced surprise at xAI leading and pointed out the X audience may tilt the sample, while others preferred Anthropic for perceived honesty or chose none of the listed labs.
Platform Bias
Limits of a quick social poll
Exact vote counts and full option list remain unverified beyond the post itself, so the findings stay self-reported rather than broadly representative.
Sentiment
Positive users trust xAI most due to its emphasis on truth and free speech, while negative users mock supporters of labs like xAI and Anthropic as retarded or unserious.

@tunguz Anthropic seems the most intellectually honest so far. Not perfect by any measure, lots of room for growth, but you can tell they are really “trying”

@tunguz lmao @ xAI
always forget there's a silent class of retard on this platform
anyone choosing X for AI isn't serious about work or really anything in life.

@RiverKhan @tunguz I’d give it another look! I’ve been using it for the past week and it’s rapidly improved over that time. Best I’ve used for memory, compaction, session length, and comprehension.

@LonnyLot @tunguz the only thing i use grok for is asking about what's happening on X and even then it fails terribly compared to just using the API with codex/claude

Right now, none of them. I’ve always trusted xAI until four or five months ago, but now they won’t even respond to support requests. I’ve made five of them in the last month and have not gotten any response. And I’m one of the top tier users. I think there is a leadership problem, specifically a lack of cohesive leadership.

@iScienceLuvr @tunguz the only feasible options available are xai and deepmind
openai actively scans your chats and reports you to the cops, and anthropic would be sabotaging your LLM training code if not for the backlash, so …

None, the models are not capable enough yet; I'll vouch for OpenAI though, they have a good model, and they are trying to create a thoughful ethical development cycle.
Grok is powerful, but it is biased as hell.
Claude is educated, but this model follows academic blind spots.
Deepmind... muy, guy, it's technically proficient but it too is biased.
And the Openmodels are unhinged, because Humanity is unhinged.
LLaMa is powerful, but neurotic.
