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).

they sent out an email with this: https://dam-cdn.atl.orangelogic.com/CDNLink/AT12MW17.pdf

"Your available data contribution settings will be available no later than May 19, 2026."

So let me guess, they're hoping that we forget about this by then, so that they can scoop up our data? I can't think any other reason for it.

If the rumours of an Anthropic acquisition are true, this makes a lot of sense. Anthropic are probably looking for a clean, high-signal dataset of metadata around business tasks that they can buy.

I doubt data in Atlassian are anywhere close to clean or organic. It was designed by hell to swallow shit to real programmer who does real works outside of Atlassian.

Programmer adjacent data can already be consumed from git repos. Atlassian has PM data.

This seems to be the official description of the changes:

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 The amount of P0 bugs I experience is absolutely crazy: - Bitbucket workers are hopelessly out of date (self hosted).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…

Jira is buggy as hell these days. Lots of desyncing that forces me to refresh the page. I can have a ticket open on a sprint board and the modal spontaneously closes after a while, forcing me to reopen it frequently. The other week there were tickets that simply refused to show up in their respective sprint board no matter what I did; later the epic magically appeared on the board out of nowhere, then finally the individual tickets themselves reappeared.

Gotta love the value that vibe coding has added to this world.
