Big brain tech dude got yet another clueless take over at HackerNews etc? Here's the place to vent. Orange site, VC foolishness, all welcome.

This is not debate club. Unless it’s amusing debate.

Body of the toot:

Absolutely unbelievable but here we are. #Slack by default using messages, files etc for building and training #LLM models, enabled by default and opting out requires a manual email from the workspace owner.

That's just a fancy way of saying they use tls, like the rest of the world.

They decrypt it once it hits their servers and do whatever they want with it.

ah ok, so if it's not at rest and it's not in transit, what else is it?

In their database lol. I'm sure whatever file storage they use is encrypted but doesn't matter when you have the keys and can view all the data unencrypted.

you see, your data can never be at rest if they’re constantly using it to train LLM models and exploiting it for other marketing purposes

…god this is stupid enough that I’m very sure I’m going to hear it in earnest from some AI shithead next time one of our threads hits all
