“Opt-in by default” is an oxymoron. If it’s default then I haven’t opted into anything. It’s been enabled by default.
“Opt-in by default” is just Opt-out. We already have the term.

this is the business model of all companies training AI, if they had to get permission we wouldn't have frontier LLMs at all
So it's OK to do stuff without permission as long as we get something that makes a lot of people a lot of money?
has it not always been this way?

#133Posthog still cannot fix bugs that exist there for years and still cannot fix their identification process for merging users, but who cares right? Lets slop some AI on top of a non-working project. Good thing

Every last single cent of that "economic development" is in the hands of billionaires, at least people in Europe have rights and their government isn't a couple of monopolies in a trenchcoat.
That is a doubly naive pair of statements.
How many Yankees can get treatment for say cancer without going bankrupt?

#137"Training won't start until June 29, so there's plenty of time to decide"
...except, we have made the decision for all the US customers already. Nice.

#138PostHog was a system we set up once, generally don't think about, and review from time to time, providing some occasional value. It was mostly harmless to leave around. But it's apparently yet one more thing we have to be actively suspicious of as it defaults towards an intolerable state. So it's easier to just rip it out of the system and move on.
PostHog was wonderful as an analytics solution, with its developer-first approach, good tools, and nice pricing.
At this point, I lost count of how many times in the last two decades I fell for it, although I'm more used to it now. Companies that grow into success and change. With the AI frenzy, PostHog also started going all-in, and not only that, but they seem to be exploring no-coding tools and whatnot. Supabase is another one that was cool, but now it is in the AI abyss.
Indeed, at this point, I'm the constant. Maybe I'm the problem here, and perhaps I should learn to accept the new AI overlords, give up and go full AI.

#139Most companies would bury this change in a deceptively boring T&Cs update, but we value transparency, so here's what you need to know in an internet-friendly numbered list: Users on our EU cloud instance are opted out by default So too users with agreements that prevent training (e.g. BAA, MSA, or similar) All other users on our US cloud instance are opted in by default We will anonymize all data before it's used for…
Cant wait to see posthog crash and burn, i have hated their service for years now.
Calm down, GA4/Amplitude/Mixpanel.

#140It's probably very obvious by now, but there's something to be said about companies with the "SF Quirky" vibes: - The OS Redesign - "Sexy Legal Documents" - Emails with " " as the subject line - Having a merch shop with action figures of your CEO It works both ways. When you're looking for adoption and making very pro-user moves, I guess it can be a benefit. However, when you're now looking to grow revenue and making…
It started well, though. It was an analytics tool with a developer-oriented mind; it was refreshing compared to the competition. But all good things do seem to come to an end, especially when it is a company. They went full weirdos in the last 2 years. AI just made everything worse.
Back to scanning open source projects, I guess.
