So Slack, the company whose entire mission is to replace email, wants you to EMAIL them to opt out of their mining of your data for their global AI models? I get that right?

@baratunde seems like we should just start polluting all our interactions with AI-consumed social media, maybe feed all our remarks through our own LLM, "please rewrite this in the style of Boris Badenov before posting to slack".

@baratunde thatā€™s just Slack admitting that they canā€™t find anything posted to slack either.

@baratunde yeah optout is an asshole move. requiring email multiplies the asshole factor by 100. nobody believes theyre so idiotic they dont know how to receieve the request via a Slack channel or app button

@baratunde we're slightly surprised they don't want the opt-out delivered by alpaca to a mountaintop
