Slack has become unbearable. The new UI is terrible and even when I view an unread message it does not get marked as read. It just keeps pestering me. Just change it back. #Slack
#Slack slipping out their "We're taking everything you post, upload, message about" etc. to feed their #AI (which you could only opt out of via email?)
It feels like this is just spiralling out of control with tech companies racing one another because they CAN with no-one thinking about if they SHOULD. 😖
Mattermost, a collaboration platform for mission-critical work, is looking for a remote, US-based Sr SDE with a strong background in Go. Great opportunity to build custom software solutions for our top customers!
Od wczoraj #Slack na moim komputerze wykazuje bardzo dziwne zachowanie, otoz...
ilekroc nie otworze sobie jego okienka, to od razu w miejscu na wpisanie wiadomosci pojawia mi sie... to co mam w schowku 🙃 Zaden inny #komunikator sie tak nie zachowuje
Got this message from #slack:

Si tu utilises #Slack et qui te ne souhaites pas que l'intégralité de tes conversations (MP inclus) et celles de tes amis/contacts soient lues et exploitées (depuis quelques jours, pour entraîner des « IA »), on peut t'aider à quitter Slack pour le remplacer par @matrix. Tu es le, la bienvenue sur notre salon d'accueil : on fera ce qu'on peut pour t'aider, avec bienveillance ✊
"Według doniesień platforma mediów społecznościowych Discord planuje dodać reklamy po tym, jak już je odrzucała.
Reklamy zaczną się pojawiać na bezpłatnej platformie Discord w tym tygodniu, podał w sobotę (30 marca) The Wall Street Journal (WSJ), powołując się na źródła zaznajomione z planami firmy."
#AI#GenerativeAI#Slack#AITraining#Copyright: "It all kicked off last night, when a note on Hacker News raised the issue of how Slack trains its AI services, by way of a straight link to its privacy principles — no additional comment was needed. That post kicked off a longer conversation — and what seemed like news to current Slack users — that Slack opts users in by default to its AI training, and that you need to email a specific address to opt out.
That Hacker News thread then spurred multiple conversations and questions on other platforms: There is a newish, generically named product called “Slack AI” that lets users search for answers and summarize conversation threads, among other things, but why is that not once mentioned by name on that privacy principles page in any way, even to make clear if the privacy policy applies to it? And why does Slack reference both “global models” and “AI models?”
Between people being confused about where Slack is applying its AI privacy principles, and people being surprised and annoyed at the idea of emailing to opt-out — at a company that makes a big deal of touting that “Your control your data” — Slack does not come off well."
Zawsze, ale to zawsze jest tak samo... Z każdym serwisem prowadzonym nie dla ludzi, a jedynie dla zysku... #zgównienie#enshittification
"Użytkownicy #Slack-a są przerażeni, gdy odkrywają wiadomości używane do szkolenia AI. Slack w obliczu ostrej reakcji twierdzi, że zmiany polityki są nieuchronne."
I was so, SO happy to leave Slack behind. And, remembering how that last group of people used it: YEESH.
“If you use Slack for work, your messages and DMs are now being used to train the company’s machine learning features — and everyone is opted in by default.

Gli utenti di Slack, un’app di messaggistica per le aziende, scoprono che i loro dati vengono ampiamente usati per addestrare modelli di machine learning, nonostante questo non sia chiaramente indicato nelle politiche sulla privacy del servizio.
Nella pagina stessa di Slack AI si legge:
“Lavora senza preoccupazioni
I tuoi dati sono tuoi. Non li utilizziamo per addestrare l’IA di Slack. Tutto gira all’interno dell’infrastruttura sicura di Slack, rispettando gli stessi standard di conformità di Slack.”

If you use Slack for work, your messages and DMs to friends and colleagues are now being used to train the company’s machine learning features — and everyone is opted in by default.
A quiet update to the company’s policy suggests messages, data and files sent by users are helping Slack to improve its in-app features like channel recommendations, search results and emoji suggestions, reports @PCMag. Individual users can’t opt out either, something critics have called a “privacy mess.”
• I've actually had an easier time keeping up with Slack than in Slack itself
• Initially I ran clients side by side but Beeper updates just as fast and I've since stopped running most except for Discord which I use for calls
• Even so, it's great to run it in parallel to Discord, because it's easier to text chat in Beeper while in a video call
Absolutely unbelievable but here we are. #Slack by default using messages, files etc for building and training #LLM models, enabled by default and opting out requires a manual email from the workspace owner.
