In general the companies are the ones showing reluctance, much more than their employees. There's still a morass of security, privacy, and legal unanswered questions about LLM use in general. Not to mention the huge unknown of total lifecycle costs

The company writing the article this HN thread is about wants this. Lots of companies do. Today there is no option because Slack is scared to death of losing their leverage. Companies want full rights to their data, and Slack is lording over it like a dragon protecting treasure.

And a whole lot of companies will dump Slack if their data policies loosen (they specifically don't want their people feeding proprietary info to an LLM through any channel)

You're thinking post-scarcity. We aren't there yet, but one say well have a magic wand, magic shovel, and magic anything else that is currently scarce.

You sound like a low-information luddite. Have you tried this week's latest model? You're probably prompting it wrong.

Sorry, I don't follow how a sarcastic joke about the claims of post-scarcity would make me a ludite or imply that I am saying models today aren't useful for certain tasks.

Why ask Anthropic? Why not build on something better like Matrix? Or Signal?[0] Or even Keybase? I really do agree we need to move away from Slack and Discord, but I'm also very confused why the call to action is to Anthropic. IMO we should really be pushing for open systems so that nobody can take it from us. Otherwise we repeat the cycle again and again. There's some good protocols to start on. I'd also say this is…

> something better like Matrix matrix isn't fun. The other thing that I would gently point out is that anthropic's uptime is pretty atrocious

Slack isn't either? And matrix is just a protocol ... Maybe a fun client can be built on top of it, eh?

This 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).

If they sell a magic app building machine, its not crazy to ask them build an app with it, is it?

why don't you buy a subscription and ask the magic machine yourself.... You just need to take out your credit card....

They too are being sarcastic.

Mattermost is 90% of Slack. It’s great. We migrated to it in a couple of hours, full Slack import.

This. Mattermost works great plus you can self host it. Can only recommend it.

Also supports a billion more languages than slack!

Why do that when they can sell you a shovel to do it yourself?
