Private groups are the worst thing in a truly collaborative environment. Would be nice in Slack to have a Publish this whole freaking thread to a public channel button.

But who is allowed to press it? If anyone, then anyone can expose career ruining messages from someone else, even inadvertently.

Your Slack admin can read all messages regardless of where it was posted via SIEM

That screenshot is some Lynchian horror. "#engineering. New direction, team – we're moving the prototype to Flutter" and then the humans and agent bots engage in flirty emoji-filled chats with cutesy names "I nailed the physics, UI shell @Honeybot?" I'm trying to imagine a world in which this makes sense as a way to organize software development work, but coming up short. It's on a blockchain or something though, so…

Nostr is not blockchain. It's a p2p protocol.

Maybe they meant git? Not right either but less wrong.

1. A workspace admin or 2. by permission of all on thread, or AI inspects contents and gates on 1 or 2 if anything sensitive. This isn't 1990, we can program stuff now.

> This isn't 1990, we can program stuff now. What a curious thing to say. My impression has been, if you put the accomplishments of computer science prior to 1990 against those subsequent, the prior would be more impressive, perhaps by a lot.

I programmed back then too so cheekiness applied mostly to me.

I'm confused are against the idea of private groups at all or just that you can't change the visibility settings later on?

No, there's a place for private, but it should be rare and not default mode for all company business related comms.

The change is for when everyone realizes this is useful info, a decision was made, you want to share this more broadly. Very often imo.

[I work for Slack, opinions very much my own] Having agents see everything you and your colleagues see is cool. The challenge comes when you want to make certain things private to certain people. In that world you don’t want multiplayer agents leaking data, so you end up having to write and maintain complex rulesets about what specific resources agents have access to. Single-player agents, on the other hand, are much…

Pretty sure slack enterprise has this feature for turning private chats into public channels.

Edit: verified. You can do this but takes an extra step of converting to private channel first then swapping the channel mode.

Checked docks. You can convert any private chat into a private channel. Then swap the channel from private to public.

It's crazy how one lucky break lets somebody spend the rest of their life throwing s*t at the wall to see what sticks to earn them more money.

More people should be doing that instead of funding cryptofascist authoritarian dunderheads to undermine democracy.

It doesn't. But as long as it's a vibe-coded slop product shat out by one of the tech glitterati using the latest marketing wanketeering and sucking up tokens to power the in-built AI nonsense, it'll be eaten up. The bubble can't pop soon enough.

Oh, is this a thing?
