This is the final push we needed to move to Discord. Bye slack. We won't miss you.

If you’re so customer-first, and make it so easy to opt out, just make it opt-in instead. Oh wait, you’re just a lying pathetic corpo
I'm confused about this statement: "When developing AI/ML models or otherwise analyzing Customer Data, Slack can’t access the underlying content. We have various technical measures preventing this from occurring" "Can't" is a strong word. I'm curious how an AI model could access data, but Slack, Inc itself couldn't. I suspect they mean "doesn't" instead of "can't", unless I'm missing something.
Every company that promises "end-to-end encryption" is just pinky-swearing to you also. Like Telegram or WhatsApp

So slimy that this isn't instead an opt-in!
Earlier quoted context omitted.
You are assuming they're saying that, because it's one charitable interpretation of what they're saying. But they haven't actually said that. It also happens that people say things based on faulty or disputed beliefs of their own, or people willfully misrprepresent things, etc Until they actually do say something as explicit as what you suggest, they haven't said anything of the sort.
> Data will not leak across workspaces. For any model that will be used broadly across all of our customers, we do not build or train these models in such a way that they could learn, memorize, or be able to reproduce some part of Customer Data. I feel like that is explicitly what this is saying.
Yes if they only train say, classifiers, then the only thing that can leak is the classification outcome. But these things can be super subtle. Even a classifier could leak things if you can hack the context fed into it. They are really playing with fire here.
> Data will not leak across workspaces. > If you want to exclude your Customer Data from helping train Slack global models, you can opt out. I don't understand how both these statements can be true. If they are using your data to train models used across workspaces then it WILL leak. If they aren't then why do they need an opt out? Edit: reading through the examples of AI use at the bottom of the page (search results…
