Atlassian just goes from misstep to misstep. I still use their products quite often. The amount of P0 bugs I experience is absolutely crazy: - Bitbucket workers are hopelessly out of date (self hosted). We've had to put so many random workarounds in especially for Docker, as they don't keep them up to date enough - I have had a bug in JIRA for years where I can't reorder a new ticket unless I refresh the page - Every…

Sounds like every other SaaS company that was bought by investment fund to milk it dry till everyone migrates off of it.

Not surprised. Quote „…with significant institutional ownership from Vanguard, BlackRock, and others”.

I really wish I could find a better source to link to for this. By default, all free and paid customers are being opted-in to their data being used for AI training. All your Confluence pages, Jira tickets, etc. https://support.atlassian.com/security-and-access-policies/d... describes how to disable this, but it also appears that the setting to disable this doesn't exist (it's not visible on any of our instances).

What about really sensitive stuff like if possibly private tickets that have all kinds of stuff like customer data, embargoed CVE fixes or even sensitive health related data, are they just cobble that all into a model so it can leak out to random people ?

There is a bunch of manufacturing related investigation reports written up in jira tickets or confluence pages at the pharma company I work for.

Rumors that Anthropic is in talks to buy Atlassian, presumably for the training data. Data poisoning efforts are underway: https://www.reddit.com/r/PoisonFountain/comments/1sqrq24/atl...

github etc hold source code -> scraped -> so AI may generate any of that.

And the specs become the new source (code).

fast forward..

the new source would be (?what? company missions? get-rich-quick-schemes?)

You can add to this list: Every single input field they have in Confluence and Jira is misbehaving or broken. Apparently, we can't just have a text input widget that works well. Also apparently, this billion dollar enterprise cannot afford to write or use a proper markdown parser, and apparently we, the user lowlives, cannot be trusted with the full "pwer" of basic markdown laugh.

Hmm, if the stock keeps falling that might really happen.

Microsoft, Amazon, Google, everybody else with both having-business-customers and also data-collecting businesses: "We swear that we absolutely will not collect/train our stuff on business customer data." Atlassian: "Yolo!"

They are lowering the threshold for this kind of shit for everyone else. We should kill it with fire, before this spreads even further. But I guess most businesses led by non-technical people will simply not care and give their customer data to the AI sharks at no additional cost.

Will Atlassian be harvesting code and content from private Bitbucket repositories? The wording in their policies and FAQ's is vague, so I'd like to get a definitive (Yes / No) answer.

If it is vague, then that probably is a very clear answer to your question.

Until it starts actually affecting their bottom line, how is it a misstep?

You yourself just admitted that you still use their products often.
