#112What a strange thing to post on a corporate CEO blog - proof that AI is making it too easy create things without asking why. How does it serve Fivetran to post open letter about why Slack sucks? This only happens if it's easy to write a couple bullet points and have Claude fill in the rest... If an LLM wasn't used they would have realized it wasn't worth a post during the process of writing it.
Fivetran is infamously bad to its users

#114This is just crazy. Lets ask the power company to build some trains for us. They transport electricity, they _must_ know about transporting people. They can power the lines themselves! If this was so easy, teams wouldn't suck, matrix would be everywhere, and discord would be replaced already by the furries (as much as stoat is trying).

Wasn't Slack a gaming company that accidentally became a chat company?

Stewart Butterfield is absolutely terrible at making games, but incredibly good at building successful companies.

> Slack won't open up their data moat to AI, which is shameful. Ah yes. It's shameful that Slack won't open data moat to AI. You know, those millions of chats (including private data) by people who didn't give consent to this
> You know, those millions of chats (including private data) by people who didn't give consent to this I'm pretty sure the company you work for owns your work chat, and that what you say on company slack constitutes business information. There are a lot of things people don't consent to. Being born. Breathing in the air molecules that come from other people's bodies. Looking at ugly things. Hearing annoying sounds. I…
That’s not a valid argument. The company itself would still need to consent.

How google hasn't been able to do this with messenger is beyond me. The external partners on our slack are almost all logged in via gmail or other google workspace. We are on google workspace as well.
