"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.
“A quiet Individual users can’t opt out either, something critics have called a “privacy mess.”
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.”
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.""
The #enshittification of #slack is getting worse. You can't personally opt out of LLM training -- your instance admin has to know about it and remove it for everyone.
And it's putting a pall over some of those DMs I've had over work slack.
You know who will never mine your private communications to train an LLM?
Better yet, you know whose words you don't need to trust, because you aren't obligated to use any particular server? And the software is open source? And regularly audited by security researchers?
Matrix.
It's not perfect, but no tool is. It's a matter of what trade offs you're willing to accept. Just sayin' ¯_(ツ)_/¯
Yesterday was Global #Accessibility Awareness Day (#GAAD). Today, some companies will be considering switching away from #Slack to a less #accessible alternative due to #AI bullshit.
Last year I told my team we have to get off #Slack because this #AI train wreck would likely happen and I wasn’t ok with info leakage like that of our private and customer chat. Sadly as we are finding out it happened. We had picked #Mattermost and found it was fine as a replacement but the migration has been a slow effort. At least now it will accelerate.
#yaka faire envoyer un email à une adresse pour demander à exclure son espace de l'exploitation des conversations privées. Belle interprétation du consentement préalable (imaginez donc qu'un inconnu vous embrasse sous prétexte que vous utilisez Slack puis que l'on vous demande d'envoyer un email à quelqu'un pour ne plus qu'on vous le fasse, ça le fait pour vous ?)
Cool, cool, #Slack now uses your workspace data to train its #AI. Gotta hoover up all that juicy data. Surely there's no copyrighted or otherwise sensitive content on any of the corporate instances, and leaking that is totally impossible, pinky-promise.
• 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.
