Slack is now using all content, including DMs, to train LLMs.

They offer a thing they're calling an "opt-out."

The opt-out (a) is only available to companies who are slack customers, not end users, and (b) doesn't actually opt-out.

When a company account holder tries to opt-out, Slack says their data will still be used to train LLMs, but the results won't be shared with other companies.

LOL no. That's not an opt-out. The way to opt-out is to stop using Slack.

@NewtonMark it's also unclear what Slack will do with free instances since those aren't technically customers.

I suspect this breaks EU GDPR (but not necessarily UK GDPR, sadly)...

Well look at that: You spend decades saying you can’t live without them, then, all of a sudden, you give them the flick. It was that easy.

@NewtonMark Turns out you can get even better value by asking staff you're already paying for the answers to your questions.

Ports across Australia will be shut down for most of a week because a stevedore has allowed itself to suffer a ransomware attack.

Everyone spending half a week panicking about Optus, which was completely harmless. This one is actually serious.

@NewtonMark good thing it's ransomware that's shut down the ports, not the unions. Cops must be pissed they can't set the dogs on someone.
