Slack has been scanning your messages to train its AI models and the only way to stop it is to email them.
This is some bullshit.
Discussion
No offense, but of course they have.
Silicon Valley millennials and their corporations are corrupt.
Millennials? I’d bet that a majority of Silicon Valley c-suite, boardrooms, or responsible directors are older than millennial generation.
One of the most corrupted and destructive generations in American history.
Hopefully they can turn it around.
Agree, can’t say I’m surprised. But it’s still our job to call people out when they cross the line. This is all about transparency and expectations.
Thank goodness my #Nostr posts are safely protected and no one can ever use them for AI training
They absolutely can, everything here is public. There are already people training models on nostr posts. Nobody here has expectations that they have control over the data they publish once it’s in the wild.
So why is Slack treated differently?
When I use a paid service one of the things I assume I am getting in return is privacy and security. If that’s not the case then it should be made clear. It’s all about expectations and trust.
Slack is a product/service/platform.
Nostr is a protocol.
Completely different things.
and fully decentralized and uncensored too!
It would be surprising if they weren't doing this honestly
As I said elsewhere, totally agree but that doesn’t mean people shouldn’t shine a light on it.
Time to get off of centralized corporate chatrooms

at this point data is the most valuable thing to influence decisions to sell services to consumers. all to save money
The only surprise here is that you can email them to opt-out.
I remember them being quite proud about storing every chat in a huge ElasticSearch cluster way back, if I recall correctly. Probably in InfoQ or that other site that described popular tech stacks
Shocking
