Slack users horrified to discover messages used for AI training

"However, it remains unclear what exactly happens when users opt out. Commenters on Hacker News slammed Slack for failing to explain whether opting out deletes data from the models or "what exactly does the customer support rep do on their end to opt you out.""

With more & more companies desperately trying to get aboard the hype train, I have a plea:

For the love of grapefruit, someone understand that we're going to need AI-less solutions VERY soon, when the whole charade collapses because it's actually worse than useless.

Whichever have avoided tying their fate to the hype will be SO SUCCESSFUL soon, when everybody's going to need a place to get away from those who did.

“Lenin is supposed to have said that when it came time to hang them, the ‘capitalists will sell us the rope.’ These capitalists are deluding themselves if they imagine that another Trump term in office will be good for them. Yes, Trump is a ‘businessman,’ but more in the style of Tony Soprano than Andrew Carnegie.”
